In the street from across the police station, Alyssa had waited for a while in Jasper's arms.

Nestling against him softly, she sweated as she reported, "I received a text from Cyrus. He said he had

asked a few close colleagues to keep tabs on the case. As of just now, apart from David Schmidt's

attorney, no one from the Schmidt family has attempted to defend him. They did not make any moves

at all."

It so happened that Alyssa was on her second day of the period, which was usually the worst. Jasper

had advised her to stay home, but she was stubborn. Now, suffering from period cramps, she wiggled

in his arms like an eel.

She silently thought, "Guess I need to listen to Jasper for once and take a good rest."

"Josh always plays long-term. All he wants right now is to hide away, I bet. There's no way he would

defend a notorious and hopeless villain. He would only turn himself the next target of public wrath."

Holding her in his right arm, he placed a hand on her lower abdomen and caressed it in circles in a

clockwise direction.

"Mm. Harder. Mm. Harder, please..."

Hearing that, he swallowed hard. A tingling sensation spread through his body from the fingertips in

contact with her skin. He said hoarsely, "See? You're suffering from your stubbornness. I'll have Xavier

buy something warm for you."

"It's fine. He's busy now with Maggie's matters. Don't bother him for everything. He's just your

secretary, not your slave," Alyssa spoke up for Xavier, eliciting a bitter smile on Jasper's lips.

"Josh has not made a move, and the same goes for Victor. Seems like they're ready to give up on

David," Alyssa said sweetly with a contradictory smirk. "That's their only choice right now."

"This scandal is the talk of the nation. As the Schmidt Group suffers from a PR crisis, it's only natural

that they'll sacrifice David to calm the anger.

"They'd better give up on bribing the cops as well. No matter who's assigned to this case, they will

penalize David to protect their professional reputation and the integrity of the police force. We have

nothing to worry about, even if Cyrus isn't on the case. No one can save David Schmidt now."

Jasper clawed gently on her lower abdomen. He asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"Mm. I'm feeling better. You're an expert at this."

At that moment, there was a commotion at the police station entrance.

"Look! Maggie Madison and the others are out!"

The couple glanced out of the window and spotted the two victims trudging into the vehicles under the

protection of their parents and bodyguards after breaking through the crowds of media.

Though the girls safely entered the vehicles, Alyssa remained fidgety as she was worried that

something might happen to them.

Maggie left the police station last, safe in Xavier's embrace.

Suddenly, a male reporter emerged from the crowds and shoved a microphone into Maggie's face,

questioning loudly, "May we know if you are in any way coerced by the KS Group or Beckett Group into

filing a police report against David Schmidt?"

Xavier immediately shielded Maggie and glowered at the reporter. "What do you mean?"

"You are Mr. Beckett's head secretary, aren't you? I know you!" Looking smug, the reporter added,

"Aside from you, Ms. Alyssa's secretary is also here to protect the victims. Is this all planned out by Ms.

Alyssa and Mr. Beckett?"

"We know that the Taylors and Schmidts are family friends. Ms. Alyssa is good friends with David

Schmidt and even performed surgery on him. She might be anxious to put a distance between David

Schmidt and herself after their relationship is known to the public. Perhaps she is attempting to protect

her image by helping the victims. This is a totally reasonable speculation."
