"Did you just learn about it? How could you date me without knowing anything about my family? Hm?"

Alyssa playfully flicked Jasper on the forehead and remarked, "All of my stepmothers hail from pretty

unusual families."

Jasper flashed her a wry smile. He turned numb upon learning about Alyssa's family background.

Never would he have associated Colene with the Ivory Gang leader.

"Lyse, you can't blame him. Marc has never exposed Colene's identity to anyone aside from a few

confidantes and the gang members," Jonah interjected.

He addressed Jasper in a much friendlier manner because he was in a great mood after dealing with

Simon Lynch. "The underworld is dangerous. He had to do so to protect his only daughter."

Jasper smiled, feeling touched by Jonah's amicability. Jonah might appear cold and distant on the

outside, but he was warm inside, just like Jasper.

"Yeah, that's right. Marc detested Winston for marrying her precious daughter and even threatened to

cut ties with Colene over the marriage, but I know that, deep down, he cares for Colene a lot." Alyssa

nodded knowingly.

Then, she sighed with a tinge of regret. "I heard that the texture of feces is similar to that of a sweet

potato. Too bad Simon Lynch had left, or I would have confirmed with him. I'm pretty curious about it,

though!"

Jasper, Jonah, and Julien were left speechless at her words.

Although dawn had not arrived, Sean was wide awake. He had experienced a rollercoaster of feelings

the night before.

Before Alyssa's arrival, he had been labeled as a helpless suspect. But now, Gabe Barrett had

released him with an ingratiating smile and kind words while inviting him to leave the cell.

The change was shocking for Sean, who had no clue about the interesting confrontation that had

happened at the police station.

"Mr. Lynch, we've gotten to the bottom of the case. The evidence shows you're innocent." Smiling

widely like a lapdog, Gabe added, "We've retracted your admission of guilt, and the Schmidts have

agreed to settle in private. You may leave now."

He gasped in disbelief, "The Schmidts agreed to a settlement?" That was impossible.

"Well, that's all because you are well-connected. Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett made a trip here just for

you. It's all thanks to you that I get to see them in person."

Sean looked stunned. "Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett, you say? Gabe fawned, "I tried my best to help you

out this time. I immediately reported your situation to my superior. Not only that, I made my colleagues

look into the truth as soon as possible when the Schmidts accused you, all to bring justice to you. It

was never my intention to put you in a difficult spot.

"So, may I humbly ask that you put in a good word with Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett when you're home?

I would serve them loyally if they ever need my assistance."

With a tense jaw, Sean cast a piercing glance at Gabe's cunning face. It boggled him to think that Gabe

was a police chief. It seemed that the Solana City citizens were subjected to the rule of corrupt officials.

"There's no need for that. As her secretary, I can reply to you right away." He stared coldly at Gabe.

"You're a greedy prick who abuses his power. You deserve to rot together with the Schmidts. Thinking

of ingratiating yourself with Ms. Alyssa? You're delusional."

Before Sean left the detention center, he freshened up in the restroom. He wanted to look presentable

for Alyssa because he didn't want to upset her.
