The color drained from Landon’s face. Before he knew it, Alyssa had pressed the butterfly

knife

against his neck.

The butterfly knife was the most notorious of all weapons, as it was insidious and lethal. It

perched precariously on the end of one’s fingers, striking a perfect balance between style

and

deadliness.

How cruel and heartless of a woman to fight him with a butterfly knife.

“Stop pestering me, Landon Harper.” She narrowed her eyes and gently slapped the

reflective

blade against his cheek. “I would never pick you even if there were no men left in this

world.”

“What if there were only me and Jasper in this world? Who would you pick?” he asked in a

shaking voice and a trembling heart. 1

She snickered. “Not you.”

His heart instantly shattered into pieces.

The door to her office opened at that moment.

“Lyse, what are you-” Jonah stood at the door in shock.

She squinted and swiftly tucked away her butterfly knife. Putting on a bright smile, she

chirped,

Jonah, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

The instant change in her expression was impressive. She was almost like an award–

winning

actress.

Landon stood up rigidly and gave her a last look before leaving in dejection.

Through the corner of his eye, Jonah noticed how deflated the arrogant Landon looked. A

frown

crept onto his face. He knew that Alyssa was the only woman in Solana City who could

send

Landon into such despair.

“Jonah!” She happily wrapped her arms around his neck. “How are you? Has your wound

healed?”

“I don’t need bandages anymore. What do you think?” He lifted her off the ground and

swirled her

around like he did when they were younger. “It’s just a scrape on the surface. I’m not that

weak,

alright?”

Indeed Had Winston known what Jonah had been involved in, he might have shuddered in

fear. It

never occurred to anyone that the mild–tempered gentleman was once the leader of the

largest

underground gang in Cyrris. He once had influence over the other gangs in Belbanks,

Solana City,

Oceania, and even Florin.

However, Jonah surprisingly retired at the height of his career for some unknown reason.

Ever

since then, he wanted nothing to do with his previous job. Instead, he devoted himself to

religion

and self–discovery.

It boggled Alyssa’s mind that Jonah had once been appointed the gang leader, for he was

always a

righteous man who had never killed, smoked, or taken alcohol.

He must have harbored a dark and heavy secret beneath his gentle smile.

“What’s wrong between you and Mr. Harper?” Jonah chuckled defeatedly.

He continued, “Putting aside how he gets along with others, he is very sincere and serious

about

you. You can turn him down, but you don’t have to put a knife on his neck. You don’t want

bruise his ego, especially because he’s the heir of the Harper Group.”

“He’d have kept bothering me if I didn’t do that.” She massaged her forehead in

exhaustion.

“I was wrong about the male ego–Landon Harper did not seem to have any. He’d still joke

and

laugh around me if I didn’t threaten him with a weapon. This crush of his would have

never ended.

“Now that I’m back to the Taylor family, I do not wish to be involved in anyone from

Jasper’s side. I

know I overreacted this time, but it’s better to put a quick end to things.”

“Sometimes, I really wish that you’d pick up some of the better traits of Alice White.”

Jonah let

out a soft sigh.

“Hah, that’s impossible. I have buried the Alice White persona with my own hands.”

Alyssa was a little tired after chatting with Jonah and lay on his thigh. He grinned and

gently

massaged her temples.

“So, are you here because you have some updates for me?” She closed her eyes in

enjoyment.

“You’re smart. Try guessing.”

“Do you have a new strategy against the Beckett Group?” asked Alyssa lazily.

“I can get rid of Ms. Gardner on your behalf if things are getting exhausting for you.” It

was hard to

“No. Leave Liana Gardner for me. If I don’t take her down myself, she will miss out on all

the fun.

That will be a pity.” She squinted with a cold gleam in her eyes.

She’d make Liana regret messing with the wrong person!
