Chapter 455
All that could be heard in the room was Alyssa’s soft breathing as Jameson remained by
her side like a
silent protector.
As she turned in her sleep and a soft whimper escaped her lips, Jameson swallowed hard,
feeling a rush
of heat surge through his veins.
Women had always thrown themselves at him all these years, whether in Cyrris or
Kontina, regardless of
their social stature. The more they did this, the more boring and disgusting Jameson found
them.
Only Alyssa could make him feel anything these days.
He would do anything in the world to enable her to continue triumphing and carving her
path in this city.
Jameson slowly raised his hand to touch Alyssa’s cheek.
Just then, his secretary messaged him.
“Mr. Jameson, Ms. Alyssa’s family are here for her. They’re right outside.”
Jameson took off his glasses and went to open the ward door. Jonah, Silas, and Sean stood
outside like
rigid guards, ready to pounce on anyone who dared antagonize Alyssa.
Jameson instantly explained, “Lyse had a sudden gastritis attack. I had to bring her here

couldn’t walk from the immense pain. I apologize for not informing you guys in time.”
Sean’s lips were stretched into a thin line, fists shaking angrily by his side. “How dare y-”
Jonah raised his hand, gesturing for him to back off. A faint, inscrutable smile graced his
face as he
addressed Jameson, “Thank you for bringing my sister to the hospital, Mr. Jameson.
“You apologize for not informing us of her condition earlier, yet when we attempted to call
you not once.
but five times, you rejected it every single time. You even turned off your phone. Why is
that, pray tell?”
Silas’ eyes darkened with a murderous intent.
How could this Schmidt kid dare to snatch their beloved sister away like this? Did he have
no respect for
them, her brothers?
Jameson dipped his head down respectfully. “I’m truly sorry for that. I was too concerned
with Lyse’s
condition to think of much else. I didn’t wish to wake her from her sleep either.”
“So you’re saying we’re not concerned?” Silas retorted.
“Of course not. You are her brothers by blood and heart. Of course you would do
everything in your power
to ensure she was taken care of and safe.”
Jameson then continued calmly, “So you won’t mind if there is another man in this world
who loves her
and is devoted to her just as much as you are, right?”
They were rendered speechless by Jameson’s words.
Both Silas and Sean were taken aback by this candid confession.
No one in their family had ever been so forthright about their emotions, not even when
their love for
Alyssa was undeniably intense-not even Alyssa herself.
Perhaps, if she had been, she wouldn’t have endured so much suffering at Jasper’s hands.
Jonah’s gaze grew darker. He stayed silent throughout.
He couldn’t help but understand why his father had staunchly opposed Jameson dating
Alyssa at this
point.
Despite Jameson’s outward appearance as a perfect gentleman and his unwavering
dedication to Alyssa,
something about him triggered Jonah’s defensive instincts.
It was as though he consistently emitted an overpowering presence to ensure things went
his way.
“Wait here, Silas. I’ll get Alyssa out.” Jonah entered the ward, walking past Jameson.
However, before approaching Alyssa, he said, “We don’t need your help anymore, Mr.
Jameson. You can
leave now.”
Jameson returned to his car. His expression remained calm and collected as ever.
Carl followed unsteadily behind him, grumbling, “Do they have a grudge against you or
something, sir?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were so rude!”
“In-laws almost always start out with a rocky relationship, after all. Given how much they
adore Alyssa, it
only makes sense for them to behave so. They wouldn’t let just any man take her away.”
Jameson smirked and continued, “No matter. All I need is Alyssa’s approval, not theirs.”
“But, sir, I still feel that you shouldn’t have been subjected to such treatment. You were
such a powerful,
untouchable force in Kontina back then. Why come back to Solana City just to face such
meddlesome
trouble?”
“So what if I was?” Jameson’s eyes glowed feverishly. “All everyone sees is the results and
the image I
put out there.
“No one truly knows how much I had to sacrifice to get to where I was. Every single day in
Kontina was a
living hell for me.
“If it weren’t for those fucking bastards-if it weren’t for Victor, that son of a bitch-I would
have had a
hold of the company by now.”
He hissed, eyes ablaze with fury. “And Alyssa … She wouldn’t have married that heartless
pariah. She
would have been mine from the start!”
Carl shuddered, nodding respectfully as his boss ranted in a heated frenzy.
“I want the company. I want Alyssa. I want everything-everything that was ever taken
away from me!”
