Jasper's hand was on Alyssa's waist. He pulled her in closer to him slowly. The corner of his lips curved

upward as he gave her a helpless look.

Alyssa consistently brimmed with captivating ideas, and her perpetual desire ensured there would

never be a dull moment in her company.

"Lyse, I know you are just trying to comfort me."

Even though Alyssa wasn't fussed, Tatiana couldn't help but feel an immense guilt weighing on her. Her

eyes turned red as she said, "You wouldn't have been dragged into this if it wasn't because of me.

"You wouldn't otherwise have become the Schmidt family's target for revenge. It's all my fault. I was too

weak and stupid. That's how it came to this."

Upon saying that, Tatiana's tears started flowing. Her teardrops dripped onto the back of her hand. This

tugged at their heartstrings.

Alyssa gave Jasper a look. He was taken aback. He then quickly leaned forward toward the tea table.

He pulled two pieces of tissue from the tissue box and handed them to Alyssa.

Alyssa was speechless.

She wasn't the one crying. Why did he hand the tissues to her? He could've just given them to Tatiana

directly.

Alyssa wiped Tatiana's tears away for her. After a moment of hesitation, she sighed heavily, "Actually,

Taty, I should be the one who should apologize. I wasn't able to seek justice or get revenge on your

behalf. David still ended up being released."

Alyssa spoke the last few words in a hoarse voice. It was obvious that she was choking on her tears.

Her long eyelashes fluttered.

With Tatiana around, Jasper could only force himself to suppress his emotions. Yet, his blood boiled

momentarily.

He gave off an air of frigidity all around him. His burning hatred was fully exhibited by his tensed-up

muscles. The veins on the back of his hand bulged.

Tatiana stared at Alyssa. She shook her head continuously and said, "You've done enough, Lyse. You

really have. Let's just put an end to the matter here! I don't wish to continue anymore."

"Put an end to it here? Why so?"

Alyssa was so abhorred that she tightened her fists. "David took advantage of you and beat Sean into

a pulp. He's also caused harm to so many other women. They had to live with the trauma of being

humiliated. They daren't speak up despite their indignation.

"The Schmidt Group uses their power to oppress them, making them fearful of payback. In order to

ensure the safety of themselves and their families, they could only suffer in silence. I am their only

hope now. Who else, other than myself, would shield and help them?

"I will get to the bottom of this matter. I will not give up until I am satisfied with the price that David has

to pay. I will go head-to-head with Victor and David Schmidt. Let's see who will be the winner in the

end!"

Alyssa was the type of person who would never fight a losing battle. As long as she hadn't achieved

her goal, she would never give up either.

Having met with such a monster, she really wished that she could skin him alive! How could she just

cease her efforts here?

She would rather go down fighting than live in silence!

She would be the one to cry out!

"Calm down, Lyse. It's not going to do you any good to be so riled up." Jasper placed his hand on her

back, which was rising and falling from her agitation. He tried to comfort her.

"What you just said, Lyse... What do you mean?"

Tatiana's face was filled with astonishment. She spoke up in a trembling voice, "The Schmidts. Did they

threaten those women? How did you know about that?"

Jasper was worried that he'd exacerbate the psychological pressure on her. So, he just gave her a brief

description of the happenings the past two days.

Tatiana's face turned pale instantly. "So. you're saying that those women, who were initially planning to

testify, changed their minds because they were pressured by the Schmidt Group?"

"Earlier today, we went to meet with one of the women. We wanted to convince her to step out and

testify. I know that they're fearful of the Schmidt Group. That's why I thought of giving them my support.

This way, the Schmidt Group would not dare to act rashly.

"However. I was too naive. My plan didn't go well at all. Moreover, my reputation has taken a hit. The

family members of those women were avoiding me like I was the plague. They didn't want to meet with

me at all."

Alyssa gritted her teeth hard. "But, I will not give up. I will come up with other ways. When there's a will,

there's a way. Eventually, I will get to David!"

"I will help too." Although his eyes were red, Jasper steadied his breath. "We might be unable to find a

breakthrough through David's case. Even so, I will still use other methods to make the Schmidts suffer."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the living room fell into a heavy silence.

After some time, Tatiana lifted her head slowly. Her moist and reddened eyes twinkled with a look of

determination and fearlessness.
