Jasper's brief response was enough to prove the depth of his love for Alyssa.

By then, Jonah and Alyssa had reconciled. After all, Jonah was as important as Jasper to Alyssa. It

pained her to be angry at Jonah. All she desired was to fight against the Taylor family's control.

"But Jonah, why has David Schmidt been released on bail? Why hasn't Winston taken any action?"

She was worried.

"That's the reason I called." Taking a deep breath, Jonah gritted his teeth and revealed, "Lyla discussed

with Dad and decided to withdraw the lawsuit in consideration of Tatiana and the family's reputation."

"They're dropping the lawsuit?" Alyssa and Jasper were astonished to hear that.

"Yes. Otherwise, David wouldn't have been released." Jonah sounded frustrated. "On top of that, the

Schmidts had paid off the media to vindicate their son and portray him as the victim.

"Even if we wanted to take action, we can't do anything now that we've legally withdrawn the lawsuit."

"Is Winston senile? How could he sacrifice Taty's dignity for the family's reputation? We don't need that

reputation." Alyssa seethed with anger. "Lyla is soft. This must be Winston's idea. She must have been

compelled to follow him."

"Lyse, you're mistaken." Jonah sighed. "Lyla and Taty suggested it. Dad was vehemently against it. He

wanted to teach the Schmidts a lesson. But Lyla insisted on dropping the lawsuit, leading to the worst

argument with Dad. He had no choice but to grant her wish and swallow the humiliation."

Alyssa, battling a fever, almost blacked out upon hearing this. At that moment, she fumed at Lyla's

incompetence.

"Taty is an unmarried young lady of the Taylor family. She might come from an esteemed family, but the

scandal will scar her reputation. Being at the center of gossip is surely distressing.

"Moreover, netizens are becoming increasingly malicious, especially toward women. Taty will bear the

brunt of the news, not that scoundrel." Jasper soothingly caressed Alyssa's back and analyzed the

situation calmly. "Lyse, don't let Lyla and Taty upset you. They made the decision based on these

considerations."

"Netizens are nothing more than a swarm of flies! As for the arrogant high-society members—why

should we care about their opinions of Taty? They're just a bunch of selfish individuals.

"Lyla and Taty belong to the Taylor family. Even the country's president holds the KS Group in high

regard. No one will dare to look down on my sister!" Anger flared in her eyes.

Jonah fell silent. Knowing Alyssa, comforting her when she was angry was futile.

Jasper patiently addressed Alyssa, "Lyse, you're not wrong, but you forgot about something. Not

everyone is as fearless as you are. Not all of them are as resilient as you."

Stunned, she looked down dejectedly and clenched her fists. "Yes, you're right, but I won't let this slide.

David Schmidt and his family will pay for what they did."

"If we can't hold them accountable through the law, we'll take matters into our own hands," suggested

Jasper.

He squinted with a chilling grin on his lips. "It makes things easier."

Alyssa closed her eyes and took a breath to calm herself. "Jonah, go to my room. You'll find a file on

my laptop with evidence of Daisy's husband's corruption. Hand it over to Silas, and he'll know what to

do."

Jasper and Jonah were shocked by her capability. In the two days she was grounded, she managed to

fight against the Schmidts, quarrel with her family, pine for her lover, and even find the time to

investigate Daisy Schmidt's husband.

She added, "I looked into Daisy Schmidt as well. She's equally corrupt."
