Winston and Alyssa’s older brothers were on a business trip abroad. Only the female family members
were at home.
Jameson was not a stranger to the family. However, it was late at night, and the family was taking care of Lyla. Not wanting to disturb her family, Alyssa discreetly ushered Jameson into the guest room.
To her surprise, Miley was already in the room, enjoying tea.
“Miley, are you still up?” Alyssa introduced Jameson to him, “Oh, this is my friend. He’s Jameso-

“I know. He’s Jameson Schmidt, the fourth son of the Schmidt family. I remember him from Lyla’s
birthday party,” Miley said and calmly set her tea on the table.
With a smile, she remarked, “Lyse rarely has any friend of the opposite sex apart from her brothers. You’re
the first, Jameson.”
“It’s my honor,” Jameson replied with a seemingly genuine smile. “I’m more honored to have a chance to
meet with the future first lady of Kontina.”
Jameson’s comment took Alyssa aback.
Miley answered flatly, “I’m just Lyse’s sister. My husband is only an ordinary congressman in Kontina. Your
remark is an overstatement.”
Jameson smiled without saying anything.
Miley slowly rose from her seat and said, “Lyse, I’ll leave you to host your guest.”
Despite smiling, Alyssa clearly felt the odd air between Miley and Jameson, but she couldn’t pinpoint the

After Miley exited the guest room and closed the door behind her, she called her assistant with a grim
expression. “Have you found anything from the investigation?”

Jameson adjusted his glasses. He didn’t look particularly happy. “Let’s get going.”
Alyssa had neither willingly accepted his gift nor invited him to her place. Everything remained the same as before. He had to take the initiative, as Alyssa would not make the first move.
“She has totally given up on Jasper Beckett. He’s out of the game. From what I’ve seen, you’re the best candidate for Ms. Alyssa. It will all work out.”
Jameson tugged on his tie knot and asked, “Do you mean I am not as good as Jasper Beckett?”
Carl shuddered. “No, of course not! I was wrong.”
“Lyse might have gotten over Jasper, but he’s still into her. I cannot underestimate my enemy.” With that,
Jameson cast a troubled look out of the window.
“By the way, I’ve made progress in the investigation you ordered,” Carl reported grimly.
“Go ahead.”
“Someone drugged the horse in the attack against you and Ms. Alyssa. We examined the horse’s blood.

“Not only that, we found this in the trash after thoroughly searching the racecourse.”
