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.

"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 cout 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 B 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 stactic 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 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, | can handle anything."
