Chapter 2121

Jameson pursed his lips at the sound of Justin's name. A cold gleam flashed across his eyes. "It's alright. Lyse is cheeky and headstrong. I don't want to pursue it further." Jameson closed his eyes once again to take a rest. Carl was floored. Alyssa had caused so much trouble. She had almost turned Schmidt Group upside down and ruined Jameson's reputation. Jameson, however, merely described her as "cheeky" and "headstrong" and was going to let it go? It was so obvious that he was head over heels in love! "Not wanting to implicate Lyse is only one side of the story. Another thing would be that if the police were to investigate this further, it would not be beneficial to us either." Upon hearing that, Carl breathed a quiet sigh of relief. This was the Jameson Schmidt whom he knew. He was a cold and rational person who would put his interests first. "Now that things have come to this, we need to handle Nicholas as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm sure that it wouldn't tak

Late at night, the police station office was illuminated only by the eerie glow of a computer screen. It displayed Jameson's interview after his bail.Nicholas, haggard-looking, stared at the screen. An overflowing ashtray sat beside him. He pursed his lips, his trembling fingers dialing Jameson's number. To his surprise, it was engaged. Despair clenched his heart as he gripped the phone tighter.Nicholas slumped on the couch, his eyes squeezed shut. Throughout his lifetime, he had faced horrors untold, his hands stained with the blood of many. Yet, none of it prepared him for the soul-crushing despair that threatened to consume him now. This was the darkest night of his life.Four agonizing days passed in this state. Then, one night, his phone rang. It was Natalie's doctor. "Mr. Novak, your wife had a sudden episode! She's unstable. Please come to the hospital immediately!""Is she okay?" Nicholas shot up, grabbing his coat and rushing toward the door."Mrs. Novak is in the E

Nicholas felt his heart racing as Jasper's words hit him like a shockwave. Back when Jameson was still in Kontina, he had already ensnared Nicholas in his schemes. After years of working for him, Nicholas had forgotten the man he once was—a conscientious, passionate individual.Just then, a blur of motion caught their eyes—a blade was aimed at Jasper from the side. "Watch out!" Nicholas shouted, his eyes widening in fear.But Jasper reacted swiftly, seizing the attacker's wrist and with a snap, breaking it. After disarming the attacker, he delivered a kick that sent the latter crashing into a nearby wall, bones audibly breaking.With each calculated move Jasper made, Nicholas realized his initial impression was far off the mark. The polished, presumptuous president revealed surprising fighting prowess and a sharp mind. Nicholas understood he barely knew Jasper. If a powerful patron hadn't backed Jameson, he wouldn't even be a blip on Jasper's radar. The dark alley had become

"Do you hear yourself, Cyrus Taylor?" Nicholas' heart sank. He sternly rebuked Cyrus, "I am your superior. Besides, I was the one whose life was in danger tonight. I was the one being attacked!"Are you trying to arrest me right now? What are you thinking? Will you be able to handle it if news of this gets out?" Jasper watched Cyrus with a worried look in his eyes. Although he wasn't part of the police force, he understood that those in positions of authority had the power to crush those beneath them. "I've assigned officers to seal off this entire area. No one will find out about what happened here tonight. It's not just for your reputation, but also to avoid causing panic among the citizens. I don't want the residents here to feel unsafe leaving their homes at night." Cyrus lightly smirked. Fearlessness was written all over his face. In a firm tone, he continued, "Furthermore, you yourself said those thugs came after you. You're a victim. If that's the case, according to our

Anxiety gnawed at Cyrus as time ticked away. His colleagues had yet to extract any useful information from the leader of the assassins they were interrogating.Firstly, the assassins weren't locals, explaining their audacity in attacking the police commissioner. Secondly, the transaction with their client was recorded offshore, making investigation impossible. Even torture wouldn't make them talk.…The station chief arrived at Solana City Police Bureau over an hour later and made a stern request for Cyrus to release Nicholas. While Cyrus wrestled with the immense pressure, Alyssa was at the hospital, personally tending to a minor scratch on Jasper's knuckles. Her heart ached at the sight."Didn't you promise to take care of yourself?" she chided gently."Five years younger, and that wouldn't have been a scratch," Jasper replied with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He wrapped his left arm around her and pulled her close. He held her hand with his bandaged right hand. "Seems lik

Alyssa and Jasper's hearts lurched at the mention of Amber's name. A flurry of emotions—excitement, unease, and most potently, worry—washed over them. "Did you meet with Amber, Axel?" Alyssa asked, her voice laced with anxiety."No," Axel replied, his voice croaking with a barely concealed hurt. "She sent this video to me on my phone. I'm scared, Lyse. I'm terribly afraid something bad will happen to Amber!"Jasper spoke up reassuringly, "If she sent the video, she's likely still safe for now, Axel. Try not to worry too much.""For now..." Axel gritted his teeth. "But how long will that last? I need to get her out of there!""Don't act recklessly, Axel!" Alyssa warned, her gaze fierce. "You could expose Amber and put her in even greater danger. Remember, she's still in Jameson's clutches!""If this video leaks," Alyssa continued, "there's no evidence linking her as the source. But if you make a reckless move, it'll be as good as telling Jameson Amber's a traitor. He could elimin

Nicholas' emotionless eyes widened as he watched the video. It depicted a dimly lit alley behind a nightclub, where Nathan, the leader of the Ivory Gang, pinned his subordinate to the ground, raining blows upon him.Shortly after, Nathan left the scene. The subordinate was still alive. He was attempting to get up when a dark figure suddenly leaped down from a wall. Cyrus fixed Nicholas with an intense stare, his eyes betraying tension in the muscles around them.The unexpected assailant didn't hesitate. He stomped on the Ivory Gang member, grabbed a rock, and smashed it on the man's head thrice. The subordinate crumpled, his head a sickening mess of blood. A pool of crimson bloomed around him, a horrifying final image as life ebbed away.The initial lighting was dim, shrouding the killer's face in darkness.However, as if by fate's intervention, the lighting on the nightclub's flashy signage flickered to life momentarily, revealing the killer's face—Nicholas, his features spa

Carl was petrified. He immediately placed a call to cancel the meeting before helping Jameson back to his office and onto his couch. Jameson gasped for breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly. The pain felt like his insides were burning. His hands trembled as he pressed them to his burning forehead. His vision swam in and out of darkness."Here, drink some water, Mr. Schmidt!" Carl knelt beside him, his eyes red with worry. He held the glass to Jameson's lips, which were stained with blood."I've called your private doctor. He's on his way as fast as he can. Just hang in there..."Jameson raised a hand and slapped the glass away. In a gruff voice, he rasped, "All these years... Nicholas has done a lot of dirty work for me. He has always been meticulous, handling everything cleanly. How could he leave evidence, let alone a video?""Anyone who plays with fire gets burned eventually," Carl said through gritted teeth. "Even Chief Novak, with all his skills, isn't infallible. Sin

"It's true. She met with no one. I swear!" Carl asserted calmly, though his heart raced within.Jameson leaned back, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It seems like you've taken quite a fancy to her." "I…" Carl stammered, his face flushing in panic. "If that's the case, I shall decide on your behalf this time. You should marry Amber." Carl's eyes widened in shock. "You… You want me to marry Amber?" "I know you've always had feelings for her," Jameson replied, closing his eyes casually. "It's been too long since we celebrated anything in the Schmidt family. You've served me faithfully without asking for anything in return."I'm not heartless. I recognize your true desires. Consider Amber a token of my gratitude, if you will.""Thank you, Mr. Schmidt! I'm honored to marry Amber. She's a gift from you. Why would I ever mind? I'd be ecstatic!" Carl exclaimed gratefully, moved. "Start planning the wedding soon. I'll be generous with my congratulations," Jameson said with for

Alyssa excused herself from Colene and Nathan to continue her phone call with Jasper under a tree."Every criminal leaves a trace. Cyrus is adept at cracking cases. Once the task force starts digging into Nicholas, I'm sure they'll find clues that lead to Jameson," Alyssa explained."It's not that easy, Lyse," Jasper said, his voice dull. "Cyrus checked Chief Novak's accounts and phone records. No unusual profits in years, not even offshore. "As for his phone records, there were a few highly-suspicious unknown number. But those numbers were unregistered burner phones. There's no way to trace them. Chief Novak is essentially a cop. He'd be more professional than most criminals, and his countersurveillance skills would be top-notch.""It complicates things without financial motives," Alyssa admitted, pacing thoughtfully. "Chief Novak clearly isn't driven by money. Everything he's done has been to develop a new drug to save his wife. That's why he's given his all for Jameson. His con
