NovelOnlineJameson choked back bitterness. His voice, strained to the point of hoarseness, threatened to give out. With unparalleled seriousness, he uttered, "Do you have any idea how much effort I've poured into this day just to witness justice finally served upon Josh? "Even if you're avenging Jonah, couldn't you have waited until after tonight? Why expose everything at the party?" Alyssa met his accusation with a cold, indifferent stare.
"My mother... endured immense humiliation. | remained silent for 15 years, all to ensure she received the justice she deserved. | wanted Josh to grovel at her feet and apologize to her!" Jameson's pale lips quivered. "Lyse... | was on the verge of success. Why denythat chance? Why?" "Mr. Schmidt, your mother's situation is heartbreaking, but | won't halt my revenge for you." Alyssa's gaze was glacial. "Perhaps you had a personal motive for keeping that bastard alive—to handle him later and protect the Schmidt Group's interests.
"However, | refuse to wait any longer. | want to ensure Josh never sees the light of day. Besides, wasn't this the outcyou desired? To use us and get rid of Josh? You can't always get the best of both worlds, Mr. Schmidt.” Jameson's eyes widened. "Lyse, what are you talking about? | don't understand. When did | ever."

"Lyse." Jameson's voice caught in his throat, the pain piercing his heart.
"Jasper, I'm hungry. Let's grab something to eat." From the car, Alyssa's voice held a hint of flirtation, another dagger twisting in Jameson's gut.
"Okay," Jasper replied sweetly. Before slipping into the car, he cast Jameson a cold glare. Then, he smirked. "I know you're not doing this to avenge your mother's humiliation. You just can't stand losing." Jameson glared after the departing car, a cold fury searing through him. His eyes burned bloodshot red.
Jasper's words had struck a nerve, tearing away Jameson's facade.
He despised losing, despised it with every fiber of his being.
Jameson had meticulously prepared the stage, but his show never went on. In Alyssa's world, he would always be a mere observer relegated to the shadows, never considered her equal.

Dr’ Lovelace's exposed relationship, they would have gone after Josh and exposed his crimes much earlier.
Why wait all this tto act? "The timeline seemed implausibly short, yet the evidence they possessed was remarkably detailed— unless it was a stroke of luck. Otherwise, how else could they obtain it?" Jameson mulled over Carl's words. They had uncovered what he had uncovered. It seemed too coincidental to be true.
