Chapter 649

The smile on Josh's face was tinged with frost. “I've only seen this woman once in my life and have

no

reason to come to her defense. Why would you wish to settle her issues with me?”

“M-Mr. Josh... “Brie stammered, her face pasty, as she gazed at Josh. She had pleased him so

thoroughly in bed a few days ago, yet here he was abandoning her so easily!

"Oh? In that case...” Alyssa'séyes narrowed into sly crescents.

“You wouldn't mind if I took Ms. Caldwell out to the main hall for a stroll, would you? To let

everyone, and

especially Madam Clarissa, get to know her?”

Brie was scared out of her wits by now.

Meanwhile, Josh paled instantly. His gaze grew hostile. “What is your intention here, Ms. Alyssa?”

“Nothing much, really.” Alyssa leaned against the couch, her gaze just as hostile.

"One should always refer to the owner before reprimanding their mutt. I only hope the owner of this

one

knows when to reprimand them themselves. I'm only a young woman, after all. It would be terribly

rude of

me to do it myself, no?”

Ah. So that was it.

Josh understood now. Alyssa wasn't only getting back at Brie. She was also getting back at him.

It had been ten years since they had last met, and there were no grudges between them. So why...

All of a sudden, Josh glanced at Sean.

Oh, so that was how it was. It looked like Alyssa had found out about what had happened the other

night.

All bite and no bark, this one!

"P-Please help me, sir.. please!” Brie begged, stumbling over to Josh's feet, only to be held back by

Morgan.

"Apologize to Ms. Alyssa and Ms. Tatiana,” Josh said with a glare.

“I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I made a mistake before. I'm so sorry!” Brie cried, pleading on her knees.

Tatiana gazed at Alyssa, her eyes filled with admiration and respect.

Josh was Schmidt Group's president, the one person on par with Jasper Beckett in Solana City. But

that

didn’t matter when Alyssa was concerned. Whether they were a Schmidt or a Beckett, everyone

would fall

“Do you think a mere apology will suffice?” Alysas asked frostily.

Josh slowly stroked his chin, nodding at his secretary. “Morgan.”

"Yes, sir”

Morgan instantly understood what his boss meant. He went up to Brie and slapped her without

hesitation.

Brie yelped in pain, falling to the floor, Blood filled her mouth from the multitude of slaps she

received.

Tatiana's heart lurched. She quickly looked away.

“Don’t be scared. I'm here.” Alyssa held Tatiana in her arms.

She turned to Sean and said, “What are you standing there for, Sean? Can't you see that Tatiana

needs some consoling after being so frightened? Get over here already.”

Tatiana immediately blushed.

“Ms. Alyssa, I... Sean's expression shifted quickly, his heart pounding in his chest.

“Alright, time's nearly up. You can console her outside, Sean.” Alyssa then led Tatiana out of the hall

Before stepping out the door, she said, “This hall is especially hidden from public view, Mr. Josh.

Most

people usually stay out of its way. I'll leave it to you to do the needful.”
