"We" was a word that created an insurmountable gap between Jameson and the couple. He could
never cross it.
Nevertheless, Jameson's gaze toward Alyssa still held deep affection.
His obsessive love had turned him into a shameless lunatic.
"Lyse, you're misunderstanding me. But since you suspect me, I can cooperate with you fully."
With that, Jameson bent down and gently held his mother's hand. "Mom, I'm sorry, but I can't
accompany you on this trip anymore."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Lily's worried gaze turned to Alyssa. Her eyes were filled with tears as she spoke. "Lyse, don't be mad
at Jimmy. If he made you angry, I apologize to you on his behalf.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlyssa felt her heart wrench. "Mrs. Schmidt, don't say that."
Although Jameson was malicious and cunning, Lily was a pitiful woman suffering from a serious illness.
Alyssa didn't want to engage in a fierce conflict with Jameson in front of Lily.
After all, this woman, abandoned by her husband and exiled for 15 years, had only Jameson as her
hope.
Alyssa didn't want to extinguish the flicker of hope within her.
"You two were the best of friends when you were young. You used to play with Jimmy all the time.
Jimmy liked you the most—"
"Enough, Mom." Jameson gently interrupted his mother with his eyes full of helplessness.
As Jasper witnessed the deep affection between the mother and son, his eyes dimmed with a strong
pain in his chest.
Yes, he envied them.
Jasper couldn't understand why, despite having precious loved ones by his side and a mother who
loved him so much, Jameson still chose the path of darkness. How could he be so malicious?
What he recklessly squandered was something Jasper could only dream of. The more he thought
about it, the more unforgivable he found Jameson.
"Lyse, I'm begging you... No matter what, don't be mad at Jimmy, and don't ignore him, okay?" Lily's
speech gradually became unclear as she was having another episode.
"Carl, medicine," Jameson immediately instructed. He felt extreme heartache.
"Yes, Mr. Schmidt."
"Lyse, no matter how much you suspect me or what harsh words you say to me, I won't blame you.
Because I care about you just like I care about my mom." Jameson looked at her pleadingly, as if

compensate me?"
Alyssa frowned, suddenly feeling an indescribable sense of unease.
Why could he be so composed? Was he so fearless because he was mentally strong, or did he have a
backup plan?
Suddenly, Jonah's and Cyrus's anxious calls came. "Lyse!"
Shortly after, Landon's shout followed. "Jasper!"
The couple turned around simultaneously. "Jonah, Cyrus!"
It was at this moment that a sardonic smile appeared on Jameson's lips. It was barely noticeable.
Jonah's gaze was sharp. He fiercely glared at this treacherous man.
Cyrus' expression was also dark. He lowered his voice and said, "Just moments ago, a helicopter took
off from Solana City's Crater Mountain Park."
