Chapter 554
Back at the KS World Hotel, Alyssa monitored the progress of Lyla’s event proposal with a
greater focus and dedication than she poured into Ada Kingley’s wedding.
While she had worked diligently for Ada as a client, this time, her commitment was out of
love for Lyla.
She was family.
“Ms. Alyssa, you’ve been through a lot. You should rest after pulling three all-nighters,”
Sean reminded her
and handed her a glass of orange juice, as he worried that coffee might be too acidic for
her.
“I can’t. The event hall arrangements have been made, but we haven’t completed the
dress for Lyla,”
Alyssa mumbled and massaged her sore forehead.
Women of Alyssa’s age would be shopping, traveling the world, and dating. Unlike them,
she spent most of her time buried in documents and data, leading the hotel management
to improve their business.

instructed, “Arrange a
visit to Rose Emerson’s studio later.”
“Is it to work on Madam Lyla’s dress?”
“Yes. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it on time without putting in some overtime.”
Sean sighed, feeling concerned for her. His phone suddenly buzzed. It was a text from
Jonah containing
the guest list of Lyla’s birthday party. Jonah ordered Sean to relay the list to Alyssa.
Sean tapped into the attached photo and was immediately attracted by the names of the
three Schmidt
brothers. He was consumed by fury once more at the thought of Josh Schmidt, who had
thrown a wad of
cash at him, and Josh’s mistress with heavy makeup, who had humiliated Tatiana.
“What’s wrong with the guest list? You have a funny look on your face,” Alyssa questioned.
She had
observed the change in his microexpressions.
“Ms. Alyssa, there’s something that I need to report to you,” Sean began. Then, he told
her all about the
incident from the night he sent Tatjana back to campus while leaving out Josh’s
humiliation.
At first, he had wanted to solve the problem for Tatiana. On second thought, he realized he
might get into
greater trouble, given that Brie was Josh’s mistress. As a mere secretary, he lacked the
power to protect
Tatiana.
Besides, Brie probably gave Tatiana trouble as her schoolmate. Since Sean was busy with
work, he had to
ask for Alyssa’s help to get rid of the problem for Tatiana.

Alyssa listened to his account with an angry frown. She spat, “How dare a mistress harass
my sister?” Then, she slammed her hand against the table and hissed, “What goes around
comes around! She will

Sean couldn’t help but let out an amused chuckle at her reaction.
She continued, “That woman is only acting insolent because she thinks she has Josh
Schmidt’s support. I bet she’d fall to her knees and apologize to Taty if she knew that Taty
was backed by the Taylor family
and the KS Group. I’d like to see if Josh Schmidt would defend her by then!”
“So, are you planning to teach that mistress a lesson?” Sean cautiously prodded.
Alyssa lifted her glass and took a sip of the juice leisurely. She scoffed. “She isn’t worth my
time. If
anything, I’ll need to put the blame on Josh Schmidt to get revenge for Taty.”
“But he might not know that Tatiana Taylor was the woman that his mistress had a fight
with. If he had
known…
Alyssa glared at him. “I don’t care! I can be unreasonable and overly protective. Ignorance
is bliss’ doesn’t
work for me.”
That evening, Alyssa drove her Bugatti La Voiture Noire to Rose Emerson’s studio alone
without Sean’s
company.
