Chapter 664
Looking delighted, Jameson smiled. “Thank you, Lyse.”
Alyssa led Jameson and Lily into the event hall. David appeared baffled by the scene.
Pointing at the door, he gasped, “Josh, look! It’s that woman!”
Josh casually swirled the red wine in his glass and looked up with a cold expression. He
frowned when he
noticed Jameson and Alyssa chatting and laughing.
“Jimmy seems close to Alyssa Taylor.”
“Pfft, right! A firecracker like her wouldn’t fall for a clingy man like Jimmy,” David muttered
through
clenched teeth, downing a glass of wine while glaring at Jameson.
He added, “Jimmy is more thick-skinned than anyone else. He was busy peeling shrimp for
Alyssa when
nothing had even happened between them. If they start dating, he would probably lick her
boots!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClarissa shot a disdainful look at David, whose crude remarks were at odds with his status
as a Schmidt.
“Didn’t Dad want to set you up with Alyssa?” Josh chimed in with a smirk. 1
“At this rate, your future wife will soon become your sister-in-law.”
“I’m not as thick-skinned as Jameson! I couldn’t grovel to Alyssa like he did,” David
retorted scornfully.
“What if groveling made you the son-in-law of a wealthy family and boosted your net
worth? Would you do
it?” Josh taunted.
Looking stunned, David fell silent and pursed his lips.
Josh continued, “David, if you don’t work for it, all of our efforts will go to waste. If Jimmy
marries
Winston Taylor’s favorite daughter, he’ll become a formidable rival for me.
“He’s always been a thorn in your side. Won’t you be upset to see him succeed?”
Hearing that, David’s eyes took on a threatening glint as he stared at Jameson.
Alyssa guided Jameson and Lily to her family. Mandy and Colene immediately stood up to
greet Lily. “Oh!
Mrs. Schmidt, are you back from Kontina? It’s been a while.”
Lily appeared blank as she looked at Jameson. “And who are they?”
“Mom, this is Mr. Taylor’s second wife, Mandy. And this is Mr. Taylor’s fourth wife, Colene.
That’s Landon
Lily.
At first, Landon was disgusted to see Jameson around, but he felt better after hearing
Jameson’s
compliment for Lauren.
Landon had always been hard to please, but recently, he seemed to be easily satisfied.
Jonah stood up to greet Lily, and the rest of the people at the table followed suit. The
Taylor siblings were
raised with good manners. Even though the Taylor brothers disapproved of Jameson, they
would hide

Only Jasper remained seated with a long face. He shot an icy look at Jameson as he
stiffened like a
tense bow.
Jameson had introduced everyone at the table to Lily, leaving out only Jasper. That was an
obvious act of
provocation and disdain.
“Wow. That’s a lot of people,” Lily said worriedly.
“I can’t remember all the faces and names. What do I do?”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Schmidt. We’re all old friends. Just relax and take a seat.” Alyssa invited
them to sit but
suddenly noticed an issue.
There was only one empty seat left at the table.
“Mom, why don’t you sit at this table with Lyse? I’ll find a seat elsewhere,” Jameson
suggested, as if he
were considerate and reluctant to trouble Alyssa.
“No!”
