"I had thought Josh or Victor would be the mastermind, but it was the doing of David's man," Cyrus

explained with doubt. "I was worried that David would pull some tricks, so I sent someone to keep an

eye on his attorney. After all, he hasn't met with anyone except for his attorney.

"But we found nothing suspicious about his attorney. We dug into his call log—he did not contact the

culprit."

"That's odd. Did one of David's men act without permission out of his loyalty to David? Was he worried

that David's scandal would be publicized? Does David even have a lackey who's that sharp-witted?"

Frowning, Alyssa fell into deep thought.

Then, she suddenly chuckled. "Maybe Josh had a card up his sleeve and pulled an act of killing with a

borrowed knife."

"Is he using David?" Jasper wondered in a low, icy voice.

"As impatient as Josh, he must have wanted to silence Maggie after his men noticed we had reached

out to her." Alyssa might be hot-tempered, but she always remained cool-headed in times of urgency.

She analyzed carefully, "But the risk of silencing Maggie was high because he had to succeed at one

go under our noses. It was certainly a dangerous feat.

"That's why he thought of getting David's man to pull it off. Even if we got hold of the weapon, we'd

suspect David instead of him, and he'd get out of this."

While she was speaking, Jasper fixed an admiring gaze on her. She glowed radiantly like an angel who

had descended onto earth. He swooned after her, unable to think straight.

"Hah! The Schmidts are indeed a loving family, aren't they?" Cyrus sneered with resentment. "I'll look

into Josh Schmidt. He and his brother will not get away this time."

"I believe Josh has gotten the news and cleared himself of suspicion. It's hard to accuse him of

anything if he did not personally reach out to the culprit. I'm afraid it's impossible to arrest him," Alyssa

argued with a stern face.

"I am now obsessed with arresting him. I can't eat well until I close the case," Cyrus thundered. "I hate

the humiliating feeling of failing to arrest a known culprit."

"It's fine, Cyrus. Go with the flow. Do not get anxious or obsessed. You might stumble upon new clues

as things unfold."

After the call, silence descended on the lounge.

"Lyse." Jasper hugged her and rubbed his chin on the top of her head. Her hair smelled fragrant. "This

might sound horrible, but I quite like the idea.

"If all pieces of evidence were against David, he wouldn't just be arrested on sexual assault charges;

he'd be facing charges of contract killing and attempted first-degree murder. He'd be in jail forever if he

serves a consecutive sentence."

"I'm speechless. Why do we always share the same thought?" Alyssa moved closer to him and

wrapped an arm around his waist.

His eyes were colored with lust when she lay gently on his chest. She added, "But a ten-year sentence

is too light of a punishment for a bastard like David Schmidt. I had been planning to hire the top legal

team for Maggie and Anora to ensure the maximum penalty for David, but it turned out that Josh had

made a move before me. What a loving brother he is."

"The Schmidts are a bunch of heartless and immoral pricks who have no care about their family. Even

if we do nothing, it's a matter of time before they go down from all the infighting," Jasper remarked

calmly as his hand slithered underneath Alyssa's shirt.

His fingertips rubbed against her smooth skin. With each touch, he was further aroused.

At his touch, she melted like butter, fireworks going off in her head. He kissed her deeply on the lips.

Jasper, on the brink of insanity, rubbed his lips against her ear and croaked, "I'll lock the door."

A jolt of electricity coursed through her veins. Just as her desire had overtaken her rationality, she

suddenly pinched him on the back. "Stop! We're at the hospital. It's no place for sex."
