Chapter 16
“Oh my, who’s sitting next to the beauty? Isn’t that Jonah, the president of Belbanks‘ KS
Group?”
Landon raised an eyebrow mischievously and said teasingly, “Isn’t Jonah known for
leading a virtuous life and never setting foot in such a place? Haha, why is he here
tonight?”
No wonder Jasper and Landon couldn’t recognize him.
Alyssa’s brothers were quadruplets. Among them, the eldest, Jonah, and the second
eldest, Silas, looked incredibly similar at first glance. It was easy for someone unfamiliar
with them to be mistaken.
“Damn it, I’m jealous. Such a beautiful woman should be my lover. What can Jonah give
her?” Landon became more and more excited as he spoke.
Downstairs, Alyssa was smiling sweetly at Silas.
Seeing this, Jasper felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.
Once upon a time, that smile belonged solely to him.
Not to mention the widespread scandals seemed to have no effect on her. This woman had
the audacity to seek pleasure and revel amidst it all!

Meanwhile, he spent the entire day consumed by anguish. He was either busy sorting out
the mess or contemplating how to explain things to her.
“Well, how about I claim her for myself tonight? She may be Jonah’s woman, but I can’t
care less. Even if there’s a goalkeeper, I can still score.” Landon licked his lips as he spoke,
his desires becoming evident.
“Don’t even think about it. She’s my wife.”
Landon’s eyes widened in shock.
“My ex–wife,” Jasper corrected himself in an angry tone.
“What? She’s that unromantic and rigid woman you used to be with? Gosh, are you blind,
dumb, or both? This woman is an absolute beauty. She’s way better than Liana, that
woman you’re obsessed
with!”
Jasper cast Landon a cold glance, who sheepishly stuck out his tongue. “Well, I was just
speaking from the heart. After all, you said she wasn’t anyone worth meeting when I
mentioned meeting her. I thought she looked super ugly, but I didn’t expect … Hey, where
are you going?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jasper had already stormed out of the room.
Meanwhile, Alyssa and her second brother had a few rounds of drinks, and her fair cheeks
were
now red.
“Lyse, are you okay?” Silas asked with concern when he noticed Alyssa was getting tipsy.
“One more round! Let’s roll the dice!” Alyssa had decent alcohol tolerance, but worries
filled her mind, which was why the booze was getting to her head faster this time.
Just then, Silas received an urgent phone call from his superior. He apologized to Alyssa,
“Lyse,
please give me a moment. I have to take this call. I’ll be back very soon.”
She waved her hand gracefully. “Sure thing!”
As soon as Silas left, the men around gradually closed in on Alyssa like sharks sensing
blood.
She looked up, her gaze casually sweeping over them as if she were choosing a dish.
This one was too short, that one was too thin, this one had a flat nose, and that one had
small eyes.
None of them could compare to her ex–husband.
It was a pity he had a dark heart under that attractive appearance, not to mention he
betrayed her love.
At that moment, Alyssa noticed a commotion at a nearby table where several young men

That man with a disgusting smile happened to be Liana’s brother, Dylan!
To make matters worse, Alyssa spotted one of the rich young men secretly putting
something in a drink and passing it to Dylan with her keen eyes.
Instantly, her anger reached its peak. She abruptly stood up and walked toward them.
“Hey! Pretty lady!” The group of men saw Alyssa and were practically drooling.
When Dylan’s gaze fell on this stunning beauty, the woman in his arms suddenly lost her
allure.
“It looks like you guys are having fun. Can I join?” Alyssa’s eyes seemed intoxicated,
making her appear more seductive.
“Of course, young lady. We’ll do whatever you want,” Dylan said, his gaze filthy as he
licked his lips.
Alyssa picked up the drugged drink. “Well then, finish this drink.”
The group fell silent, and Dylan’s face fell.
Everyone knew that the drink was laced with a heavy dose of drugs. Only a fool would
drink it!
“You’re not drinking it? Then let me feed it to you!”
Alyssa’s gaze turned fierce as she said that. She lifted her hand and splashed the contents
of the glass on Dylan’s face.
The crowd gasped in astonishment, and the woman let out a frightened scream as she
quickly moved aside.
