Chapter 1191

What did they have to do to change Winston's mind, to stop the marriage between Tatiana and

Jameson?

Alyssa slowed her breathing and roughly relayed this night's happening to Jasper. Naturally, she

summarized the part about her fight with Winston.

She downplayed the serious points as she was afraid that he would worry and feel guilty.

Jasper wrapped his muscular arms around her waist and furrowed his brows. "So, Mr. Taylor wants

Tatiana to marry into the Schmidt family because you and I are together? Even if he prefers the

Schmidts, this is just too sudden.”

"It seems sudden, but it's not."

Alyssa shook her head dejectedly. Angry, she clutched his chest and said, "Actually, Winston is being

crafty. He wasn't happy about you and I being together previously.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he already had a secret discussion with Mr. Victor for me to marry into

the Schmidt family.

"After the horse racing event, I heard from Sean that there was news about Winston and Jameson

becoming close. It was likely part of the Schmidt Group's preparation for the marriage.

"They just hadn't expected the Harpers to complicate things. Moreover, Sophia's arrest must have

messed up their plans.

"Otherwise, according to Winston's aggressive personality, he would have made a public

announcement about me marrying Jameson during the horse race event itself. He is definitely

capable of doing so!"

Jasper’s skin felt warm. It hurt a little from her clawing at him, but it was a pleasurable type of pain.

"Don’t worry, Lyse. Even if Mr. Taylor were to do that, do you think I will just sit back and watch while

you become involved with that bastard, Jameson?"

He then lifted her hand and kissed it. He looked at her with a fiery gaze and continued, "I will surely

fight to get you back no matter the costs and consequences.”

Alyssa didn't think he would need to fight to get her back. She would always be his.

She batted her long eyelashes and replied, "But, it was also due to Zoe causing trouble that

changed Winston's opinion about you. Otherwise, he might have arranged for both Taty and me to

marry into the Schmidt family and forced you to give up.

"Hence, I'm sure Mr. Victor had said something to Winston to pressure him. And that influenced his

decision to let Taty become the doormat. How abhorrent!"

Jasper felt bad watching her being so enraged. "Lyse, as much as I don't want to admit it, Jameson

was quite adamant about his feelings for you. So, it doesn't seem like he would marry your sister.

"He cannot accept this marriage arrangement if he wants to have you. And, now that David has also

become a crippled man, Mr. Taylor will not let Tatiana get married to him. This engagement might

not even happen.”

"Even so, once Jameson is provoked, he may go berserk. There's nothing he wouldn't do.”

Alyssa leaned her head against Jasper's chest and sighed. "Who knows if this is actually part of his

plan? If he were to accept the marriage, he could then pressure me indirectly.

"He could make me feel extremely guilty so that I won't be able to continue seeing you in peace.

Even if he can't take someone's life, he'd still make sure that they'd suffer.”

"Don’t panic, Lyse. I will face this together with you. We can think of something.”

Right after he said that, thunder echoed, and lightning flashed across the skies.

A few seconds later, it started to pour. Jasper promptly opened the car door, and they got into the

back seat.

It might have been because of the narrow space in the car that gave them a dopamine rush, leading

to their arousal. Without having to say a word, they embraced one another and shared a passionate

kiss—one that was more intense than the storm outside the window.

Alyssa was captivated by the sound of Jasper's deep, heavy breathing. She felt like she was in a

trance from his kiss and ended up tugging at his necktie.

Desire filled Jasper's eyes. With his hands, he hooked the straps on her shoulders and let her silk

strap pajamas slip down to her waist. The sight of her soft, lily-white skin made his world spin.

"lyse ..."

He couldn't hold himself back any longer and leaned forward, pressing himself against her.

A pair of intertwined shadows could be seen rocking back and forth through the hazy windows.

The car felt confined, yet Alyssa was on cloud nine. Her face flushed red. It was as if she was about

to melt under him.

After making love, the heavy rain had also begun to slow.

Alyssa's hair was drenched in sweat, disheveled as she relaxed in his arms.
