Chapter 283
Alyssa’s Bugatti disappeared into the night. Jameson nudged his glasses with an
uncontrollable smile. His heart fluttered with burning passion.
…
The La Voiture Noire sped on the flyover. Alyssa rolled down the window to enjoy the night
breeze. She fell into deep thought while staring at the cityscape across the river.
“Ms. Alyssa, have you warmed up to Mr.Schmidt? That was fast.” Clutching the steering
wheel, Sean asked in a stuffy manner.
“I guess so. We had a lot to talk about.”
“He might have saved you before, but hehad also stalked you to our neighborhood. You
should be careful around him,” Sean grumbled.
“Maybe he did so because he recognizedme and was curious to know more. I think he’s a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdecent fellow after two meetings with him. Sometimes, he does sound a little funny,
though. Is it because Kontina is more liberal than us?”
Her eyes sparkled, and she added,”Most importantly, he is playing the same game as me!
He’s my soulmate! We even made a pact to crush the newbies someday!”
Sean felt increasingly bitter upon hearing that. Pursing his lips, he wallowed in
disappointment before asking, “You’ve never been this patient with men. Do you …have a
crush on him?”
“What makes you think so? Is theresomething wrong with your head?” She rolled her eyes
at him, looking speechless. “If anything, he should be the one tocrush on me. Why would I
fall for a man?I don’t have the time for that. Dating is an obstacle to money-making!”
Cheered by her remarks, Sean chortled. Thankfully, Alyssa remained level-headed after
meeting with Jameson Schmidt.
When the car slowed down in a low-speed zone, a card fell out from the flower basket.
“Hm?”Alyssa picked up the card with afrown. She opened the card to find a neat
handwritten note from Jameson. He wrote, “Oh, to be young and in love!”
She narrowed her eyes. Jameson Schmidt was quite a character, indeed.
“It looks like you ran into your nemesisagain today. Did Liana say anything mean to you
today?” Sean was concerned and bridled at the thought of the bitchy woman.
“What do you think?” She lifted a brow.”It’s hard to change out of her old ways.”
“She’s made a move on you. That bitch isdigging her own grave.”Eyes darkening,
he questioned, “How will you deal with her?”
“Sean, you don’t have to follow mearound for now. I need your help on something else.”
“Go ahead.”
“Keep a tab on Liana Gardner’s mother,Rosaline Kirkman.”She caressed the roses in the
basket with an unempathetic look. “Liana will put her plan in action tonight because she
can’t sit on it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Did you say anything to her tonight?”Sean frowned in confusion.
“I brought up her history in Mosgraviaand scared her witless.” Alyssa almost laughed out
loud at the thought of Liana’s petrified expression.
“Oh!Wouldn’t she keep her guard up afteryou spoke to her?” Sean asked worriedly.
Smiling, she wagged her finger. “No,I didn’t do it to alert her. I was luring her. I
provoked her with my words today to heighten her anxiety when her engagement nears.
She’ll fumble. She’s dead set on marrying Jasper Beckett and will do anything to remove
the obstacles in her path.”
Sean gaspea when realization dawned on him.”Does that mean she’ll find and hide her
child?”
Alyssa nodded with a sly look.”She will likely get Rosaline to help her out because it will be
hard to move about when she is 1being hospitalized at the moment.
“Only Rosaline would know thewhereabouts of the child under foster care. I’ve set the bait.
Now, we will wait for them to bite.”
