Alyssa widened her eyes, staring blankly at Jasper's attractive side profile. Tatiana fell silent on the

other end of the line. She was sobbing quietly.

"What's wrong? One of you is staring at me. The other one went quiet." Grinning, he pinched Alyssa on

her cheeks. "Is no one willing to trust me?"

"No, that's not it..." Tatiana said with gratitude, "Jasper, thank you so much for helping Sean. I'm really

thankful."

"We're family. Don't mention it." Once Jasper soothed Tatiana's emotions, he hung up and instructed

Xavier, "Make a turn. Let's head to the police station."

Xavier immediately made a U-turn.

"Jasper, what's your plan?" Worry was etched on Alyssa's face. On the contrary, he appeared calm.

"No matter what, let's focus on saving Sean for now." Sighing, Jasper locked his fingers with her and

tightened his grip. "Taty and Sean went through a lot just to be together. I do not wish to see them

going through a tough time anymore. I want to protect them from harm."

Alyssa held her breath and mused, "Are you empathizing with them now?"

He shook his head and pulled her into a hug. "I used to be, but not anymore because I have achieved

my happiness."

Sean had been detained at the filthy detention center for two weeks. If the Schmidts refused to settle in

private, he might have to stay on longer. Despite the challenges, he refused to rat on Alyssa and

Jasper.

Even if he were to go to prison, he would shoulder all the blame and maintain his integrity.

At that moment, Sean stood with his back against the wall. He crossed his arms and shut his eyes.

Across from him, a few men cowered in the corner and shot cautious glances at him while chatting with

each other.

"You're disturbing me." Without looking at them, Sean threatened, "Shut up, or I'll beat you up."

The men in detention promptly fell silent as they trembled under his threat. Seeing that, Sean let out a

melancholic sigh. Life had been chaotic ever since his first night at the detention center.

The Schmidts had specially arranged for his cellmates to rough him up, having no idea that Sean had a

black belt in martial arts. Sean ended up beating up his cellmates.

Sean shook his head. He was surprised that the Schmidts arranged for him to stay with a few

weaklings. They seemed to have underestimated his ability.

Anyway, he treated it as a test run. In the worst-case scenario where he was sent to jail, at least life

wouldn't be as difficult.

Little did he know that Alyssa and Jasper had arrived at the police station. Aware of Cyrus Taylor's

presence in the police force, the Schmidts had slickly got Sean detained at the West Division of the

Solana City Police Department, where the police chief Gabe Barrett was a friend of theirs.

Gabe looked wary when Alyssa and Jasper showed up. He hurriedly called up Josh, "M-Mr. Schmidt,

Alyssa Taylor and Jasper Beckett are here in the meeting room. W-What do we do?"

"Do what you need." Josh gritted his teeth. "Why are you scared of them when you have the backing of

our family? Your promotion depends on your handling of the case. You must stand up against them, no

matter how they pressure you. Do not release Sean Lynch. We need to charge him with aggravated

assault."

"Sure, I'll try my best." Gabe wiped away his sweat and added, "But Mr. Schmidt, I wonder why you're

hung up on Alyssa Taylor's secretary. You gain nothing from making yourself the enemy of the Taylor

family."

"That's none of your business. Just do as I say," Josh hissed and hung up with a look of malice. "How

could he say that I'll gain nothing? Pfft. I never lose out."

Josh had bribed the few witnesses whom the police had contacted. The female victims would "admit"

that they had engaged in consensual sex with David in their relationship with him.

With the accounts from the witnesses and the injuries David sustained from Sean's assault, Josh could

effectively paint David as the victim.

Not only that, Alyssa would be at the center of public criticism and perceived as abusing her power to

right personal wrongs. Considering the toxicity of the online environment, the netizens would be more

than eager to release their frustration on the rich without caring for the truth.

Josh popped a bottle of champagne and enjoyed it alone. He cackled. "Alyssa Taylor, are you trying to

fight me? You were still a fledgling when I was already in the business!"

Gabe stared at the two VIPs in his office. He forced a smile despite being drenched in sweat. Even with

the backing of the Schmidts, he cowered under the pressure of the two dazzling and intimidating

figures.

Smiling, he greeted them, "So, what brings you here?"

"We're here for what the Schmidts have done," Alyssa offered a piercing reply with a snicker, which he

perceived as threatening.
