Xavier fell silent once more.

Jasper took a deep breath and lowered his gaze. “I’ll make it up to her, little by little.”

Silas was drenched in sweat as he sat in the study. His fingers typed furiously on the keyboard to track.

down the user information from the leaker’s account that Alyssa gave her.

Meanwhile, Alyssa lounged on the couch and clinked glasses with Jonah, savoring the high-quality red

wine he had brought along.

“Hey, that’s too much!” Mouth dry, Silas protested, “Am I here at night to work for free? Look at you,

Silas realized they showed no sympathy, so he added meekly, “Please save some for me.”

“Winston’s always the first to learn about all the bad news, huh? Is he laughing at me behind my back?”

Alyssa’s mood soured, and she lost interest in the good wine. She folded her legs and pouted gloomily.

Alyssa was left speechless. Jonah added, “By the way, Dad said Ada Kingsley is filming the eighth

installment of The Deadly March. The production team finally reached him through some connections

and invited him to invest in the film.”

Jonah leaned forward with a cryptic grin. “Dad told me this in private. If you’re still upset, he can always

She gasped when she learned that Winston had connections in Hollywood. He was pretty well-

“Ah, a call from your ex-husband,” Jonah teased with a grin.

“Yeah, it’s like a scene out of The Ring.” Alyssa replied, turning her phone screen down, determined to

He’s right outside!”

The doorbell echoed in the villa at the same time.
