Alyssa's formidable presence hung over Gabe like the sword of Damocles. He chuckled nervously.

"How about some tea for now?"

"It's fine. That's some truly expensive tea that I can't possibly accept," Alyssa addressed him coldly,

crossing her legs. "Release my secretary from detention. This is a private matter between the Taylors

and the Schmidts. Stay out of this if you still want a promotion and want to avoid trouble."

Alyssa had always gone straight to the point without wasting time. That nearly wiped off Gabe's smile,

but he persisted, "Ms. Alyssa, I understand your feelings, but based on my three decades of

experience dealing with multiple cases in the department, those brought in are mostly guilty.

"Sean Lynch might be one of your staff, but he has committed aggravated assault after beating up

David Schmidt. Besides, I've turned in the assessment results to my superiors."

Frowning deeply, Alyssa tightened her fists on the arm of the chair.

Gabe went on, "You might be two important figures in Solana City, but everyone is equal before the

law. Even scions and heirs are not above the law. My apologies, Ms. Alyssa, but I can't grant your

wish."

"Mr. Barrett, you're glib, aren't you? Equality before the law?" Jasper sneered as he held Alyssa's cold

hand.

He authoritatively questioned, "If so, you shouldn't falsely accuse an innocent citizen. Don't you think?"

Alyssa's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, she seemed to have understood Jasper's move, which

added to her astonishment.

"Mr. Beckett, what do you mean by that?" Gabe exclaimed.

"Sean Lynch did not beat up David Schmidt. I did." A smirk played on Jasper's lips. The gleam in his

eyes resembled that of a blade. "Release Sean Lynch and arrest me instead."

Holding her breath, Alyssa grabbed Jasper's hand. "Jasper! You..."

Meanwhile, Gabe stared agape at Jasper. He was at a loss for what to do next.

"What's wrong, Mr. Barrett? Since I've turned myself in, shouldn't you do your job now?" Jasper said

with calm, caressing Alyssa on her waist to comfort her. "Why? Does your 'equality before the law' only

apply to the ordinary citizens but not scions?"

"No, no. Mr. Beckett, did you hear yourself." Gabe started to stammer and stutter from the shock.

He was in a dilemma after the Beckett Group's president turned himself in, claiming that he had beaten

up David Schmidt. Josh's warning rang in his ears, but he was too afraid to arrest Jasper.

"If so, count me in," Alyssa spoke with a lift of her brow. She grinned knowingly. "Didn't you ask David

Schmidt the person who fractured his fingers and broke his front teeth? Oh, by the way, I'm also the

reason behind his erectile dysfunction. Did that bastard not tell you about these details at all?"

"M-Ms. Alyssa, aggravated assault comes with a heavy sentence. I know you're eager to protect your

employee, but you can't fool around!" Gabe wiped away his sweat furiously.

"Lyse, don't play around," Jasper chimed in and pinched her on the waist.

"I'm not. I'm serious." Looking deep into his alluring eyes, she smiled. "I'll go wherever you are because

we're a couple."

Her words shook him to the core. His heart raced wildly, and his breath quickened.

Alyssa was his wife, and she'd be his only love in this life.

"Hmph! I did not expect the two of you to resort to this dirty trick just to protect Sean Lynch." A sarcastic

voice boomed in the office. In walked Josh Schmidt with a scowl.
