Chapter 1691

Axel's resolute words sent shivers down Silas’ and Cyrus’ spines.

When Axel made up his mind to be heartless, he would cut off his feelings. Though he was

wandering outside, he still harbored resentment toward Winston. It was enough to show how

stubborn he was and how heartless he could be.

"Axel, there's no need to be so ruthless.” Unexpectedly, Alyssa shook her head indifferently.

"As long as she shows remorse and is ready to break free from Jameson's control and join us, I

won't make things difficult for her."

Axel looked surprised. "Lyse, are you saying—"

"If she’s willing to switch sides and work with me, I'll gladly accept her and arrange a position for her

in a subsidiary of KS Group. She won't have to live like that in The Millennium, selling herself.”

This statement surprised even Jasper. "Lyse, do you really mean that?"

Silas frowned. "Although that woman helped Axel and provided us with this evidence, there's a

chance this could be a trap set by Jamiper and her just to gain our trust. What if she acts as a

double agent?"

"If that were the case, when Axel sneaked into The Millennium, she would have made it a bigger

commotion and come out to mediate when necessary, pretending to help Axel. This way, she could

have made Axel owe her a bigger favor.

"She wasn't trying to gain Axel's trust. She genuinely aimed to help him retreat safely. Providing him

with this evidence regarding Josh was really her way of seeking the best possible way to handle the

situation.”

With that, Alyssa's eyes turned to Axel, her gaze becoming intriguing. "What Amber gave Axel was

not only her sincerity. It was also a trump card in Jameson's hands. There's no need to take such

risks if it was just to please him."

Axel remained expressionless, but a hint of complex emotion flashed through his eyes,

imperceptible to the naked eye.

Cyrus carefully reviewed the information in his hand again and asked in confusion, "Most of the

evidence has already been collected.

"Now that the internal power struggle within Schmidt Group is widely known, why doesn't Jameson

release this evidence and directly crush Josh? Holding back like this seems to invite more trouble,

doesn't it?"

Just as Alyssa was about to explain, Jasper spoke coldly, "Lyse said that this is Jameson's trump card.

As the eldest son of the Schmidt family, Josh still holds a small share of the Schmidt Group, which is

his only remaining value.

"Jameson wants to keep this last bit of leverage. At a critical moment, he'll force Josh to transfer the

shares to him. It's the same tactic he used when dealing with David."

Alyssa smiled at Jasper, and her eyes were full of affection.

"Damn it! He always does things in the dark. No matter how high he stands with this power gained

through underhanded methods, he'll still be despised and scorned,” Silas spat out.

"So, we must not let Jamiper get what he wants.” Alyssa smiled confidently.

"We do need to take action against Josh, not only to avenge Jonah but also to make Jameson's

trump card into a useless card. We need to let him face the consequences of the trouble he caused.”

Jasper gently rubbed against her waist as he gazed at her proud profile, as if enchanted. "Lyse, no

matter what you decide, I'll always support you unconditionally.”

Silas patted Axel's shoulder meaningfully. "Axel, for the sake of revenge, we'll have to rely on your

charm.”

Axel's sharp gaze softened slightly, and he smiled bitterly before leaving.

After discussing important matters with Alyssa's brothers and enjoying delicious fried chicken, the

couple went upstairs to their room to rest.

Jasper drew a bath in the bathroom while Alyssa lit scented candles and poured wine. At this

moment, she received a call from Rose.

"Madam, how... have you been lately?" Rose asked cautiously, afraid of triggering her emotions.

"A lot is going on, but..."

Alyssa glanced at Jasper, who was carefully adjusting the water temperature beside the bathtub and

felt a warm sensation spread across her chest. "I'm fine. With my husband by my side, I can handle

anything."
