Chapter 330
Winston grew stern like he was at the court. “Lyse only eats the shrimps peeled by you
and me. She has
never allowed any other men to serve her!
“That Jameson fellow was overly passionate toward her. He almost hand-fed her the food,
and she did
not seem resistant. Tell me, what’s their relationship? Has Lyse fallen for him?”
“Dad, you don’t sound like you like Jameson,” Jonah pointed out. Winston responded with
a silent pout.
“Jameson and Lyse have known each other since childhood, and they get along well after
reuniting. It
was rare to see her getting along with someone from the opposite sex.
“On top of that, we are family friends with the Schmidts. It will be good news if they end
up with each
other,” Jonah calmly explained his rationale.
“You know Uncle Victor’s agenda for this visit. He intended to set up a marriage between
the Schdmits
and the Taylors. Why else would he have brought his two single sons along? He had his
eyes on Lyse!”
Winston stared at the ground and shook his head. “But I will not agree to the marriage.” (1
Jonah and Silas’s expressions fell when they heard their father’s words. They were

aversion to the Schmidts.
“Did you and Uncle Victor have a falling out? Did you two block each other on WhatsApp?”
Silas playfully
teased Winston with a thumbs-up gesture. “You really are something else! Look at you,
chatting happily
with him even after a fight. I couldn’t have done that.”
“How did you end up as a prosecutor with that pea brain of yours? Did you get in from the
back door using
my name?” Winston impatiently rolled his eyes at Silas and said gruffly, “I will not feed my
beloved
daughter to the wolves after she’s just freed herself from the Becketts!
“You think the Schmidts are living in paradise? They’re notorious for their internal
conflicts. The four
Schmidt siblings are quite problematic. If Lyse were to marry into their family, she’d likely
find herself
caught up in their infighting.
“And let’s not forget about Jameson, who happens to be Victor’s least favored son. He may
have a sprawling overseas business, but it’s possible he gained prominence through brute
force. There could be
some shady dealings going on behind the scenes.
“It’s not impossible that he might use his marriage to Lyse as a way to clean up his
company and establish a foothold in this country.”
Silas stared agape at his father while Jonah looked at his feet and pursed his lips with
guilt. He was too
“I don’t mind offering my daughter’s hand in marriage to uplift her in-law’s family, but she
should not
sacrifice herself in doing so!”
A Bentley ferried Victor and Jameson back to Solana City, which was a rare move by Victor.
David had
gone back to Solana City separately in his car.
Victor and Jameson sat in the backseat in an oppressive silence, bound by their family ties
but not much
else.
“Tell me, Jimmy. What’s the state of your relationship with Alyssa?” Victor demanded to
know.
“Are you taking an interest in my love life?” Jameson looked amused. “You never checked
in on me and
Mom in the 15 years we lived in Kontina. Now that I’m back in Solana City, you seem
extremely interested in my activities.”
“Do not change the topic. I am asking you about your relationship with Alyssa Taylor!”
Victor brimmed
with anger.
“As you can tell from tonight’s dinner, I share a close relationship with her.” Jameson’s
eyes gleamed as
he smirked.

her! Stay away
from her.”
“Why?” Jameson inquired, a smile playing on his lips.
“She’s my handpicked candidate for David’s wife. You will only disrupt my plans if you
interfere.”
“Am I not your son too? She’ll be your daughter-in-law regardless of who she marries.
What’s the issue
here?”
“My decision is final. David must marry Lyse. If you would also like to marry a Taylor,
Winston has an
unmarried younger daughter named Tatiana. She’s the daughter of Lyla, Winston’s third
wife…”
“Your least favorite son only deserves the daughter of Uncle Winston’s third wife. Is that
what you mean?”
Jameson wore a mocking smile on his lips.
“Jameson, enough of this nonsense!” Victor’s anger flared. “You shouldn’t covet what’s
meant for David.
I’ll give you what you rightfully deserve, so don’t lay claim to things that aren’t intended
for you.”
“I’ve heard that since I was a boy but never received anything.”
Jameson closed his eyes with a smile. “I’m tired of your empty promises. Tell David not to
fret about it. Lyse is mine and only mine. No one can take her away from me.”
