Michael was ushered out, defeated. But that quickly changed the moment he was out of her office. “F***ing bitch! Just wait. I’m not going to let this fly!” he spat out.
Although Alyssa was a generous person, she was enraged that someone was lining their pockets with the hotel’s money. It made her blood boil with indignation.
“Michael seems to have quite the reputation here at the hotel. To think there would be whistleblowers the moment you turned your sights on him.” Sean was excited.
“No one sold him out.”
“Huh? Does that mean… you tricked him?”
“I did,” Alyssa responded gently and booted up a game to vent her anger. “There would’ve been nothing to fear if he hadn’t done anything wrong. It was unfortunate for him that I showed up.‘
Sean couldn’t help applauding the woman. “Michael and Elysian have been cooperating for three years, and the corruption ran deep. We should bring him to court and make him regurgitate everything he took!”
“We still need to maintain a cordial relationship. It’s in our best interest not to burn bridges. The higher–ups at the hotel won’t be happy if I go too far. It won’t be surprising if someone tries to backstab me. My father was the one who promoted Michael as well. I can’t embarrass him too much,” she said nonchalantly while chasing after her prey in–
game with a massive ax. “Have someone keep an eye on Michael for now. Report to me immediately if he contacts Liana Gardner’s brother again.”
“Yes, Ms. Alyssa!”
That was when Alyssa’s phone began to ring continuously. A mountain of messages was blowing up a certain group chat.
“I don’t have time for this right now. Sean, check who it is.” She was fully concentrating on the game.
Sean pulled up the messages on her phone. “Oh, you have messages from a group chat named ‘ Taylor Family’s Secret Society.‘ It’s your brothers, Ms. Alyssa.”
The group chat was created by Silas, her second brother. She, along with her four brothers, was part of it. The reason it was dubbed a “secret society” was because the matter of her marriage to Jeremy must not get out.
Silas texted, “I can’t fucking stand this anymore! Is Jeremy trying to add salt to the wound?
He’s going way too far!”
Her third brother, Liam, chimed in, “I’ve been trying to find dirt on Walsh Group. I’ll see to their bankruptcy within a month.”
Her fourth brother, Axel, cut in, “I’ll have Jeremy crippled within the week.”
Jonah sent, “Amen.
Alyssa finally made her presence known. “Stop! What are you all trying to do?”
Silas sent her a Twitter link and said, “They’ve announced their marriage. A high–profile online personality is claiming you to be a mistress who took what wasn’t yours. They’re saying you forced Jeremy to marry you and caused a rift in an already existing relationship!”
Axel piped up, “Hah. What rift? Why don’t I show them what that’s really like?”
Jonah replied, “Don’t upset yourself just because of this lowly evil, Axel. Don’t give them your time of day. Their retribution is coming. Cease your anger and renounce your rage.
Don’t stoop to wickedness.”
Silas said, “Stop talking, Jonah. I’m seeing stars just reading that.”
Axel texted, “I’ll make sure it all gets taken down within half an hour, Lyse. I’ll also have the trending topic of Jeremy’s remarriage wiped.”
Alyssa replied, “It’s fine, Axel. Let them be.”
Silas expressed his confusion.
Alyssa explained, “It has nothing to do with me. Jeremy’s ex–wife is Allison Burton, while I’m the eldest daughter of the Taylor family, Alyssa.”
Silas chimed in, “You’re right! You’ve never made any public appearances with Jeremy.
Outsiders have never seen you before. It’s unlikely that anyone would come looking for you None of this would affect you at all!”
Alyssa sent another string of words, “Unfortunately for a certain woman, she’s going to have a hard time.” She smiled in cold arrogance.
“you want to be with her so badly, Jeremy Walsh? I’m happy to support the two of you in achieving your happily ever after. But since she’s so eager to test me, you can’t blame me for returning the favor,” she thought.
Walsh Group was caught off guard by the news. The Public Relations Department’s and Jeremy’s phones were blowing up with calls from the media. The news was being sensationalized throughout the country. First of all, Jeremy Walsh was getting married, and this was going to be his second marriage! It was over before reporters could even ask how it started. What kind of marriage was that?
“Solana Daily was the first to publish news on the marriage. Rumors have it that it was Ms.
Gardner who approached their editor in person before the news broke.” Xavier stared unblinking at his phone. “The post has been retweeted over a million times. The current trending search is # WhoIsJeremyWalshsWife. Madam Allison is being bad–mouthed online…”
“Fire them!” Jeremy’s expression turned cold.
Walsh Group had power over Solana News. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they were. the Walsh family’s mouthpiece.
“Who are we firing?”
“Everyone who was involved in this!”
“Yes, sir! But what should we do about the online discussion? We can’t rein that in anymore Xavier couldn’t help but worry. “I can’t imagine how Madam Allison would feel about this. She must be upset…”
Jeremy’s gaze suddenly darkened, and he immediately dialed Jonah’s number. It had become a norm for him to call the other man up. Anyone not in the know would’ve assumed Jeremy had a crush on Jonah!
Coincidentally, he received a call from Liana right then. The sight of her name flashing on the screen made him frown “Lia?” Jeremy said, calming himself down.
“Help me, Jeremy!” Liana pleaded for help through her sobs. “I’m being surrounded by reporters at Walsh Group … I’m scared!”
“I’m coming downstairs!” Jeremy grabbed his coat and left without a second thought.
“No, Mr. Jeremy!” Xavier stopped him in his tracks. “You should have security head downstairs to escort her instead. You’ll be mobbed by the reporters if you go!”
Jeremy’s expression turned somber, and there was not a lick of hesitation as he rushed out the door.
“When will the wedding between you and Mr. Walsh be scheduled, Ms. Gardner?”
“The exposé claims that you and Mr. Walsh are childhood sweethearts. Did you two meet many years ago?”
“What are your opinions on Mr. Walsh’s ex–wife? Is it true that his ex–wife interfered in your relationship?”
The reporters were shoving their cameras into Liana’s face. Despite there being bodyguards on- site, the situation was still chaotic. The woman played up her meek and weak facade despite being secretly thrilled. She was the one who broke the news of the wedding to the media. The rumor claiming Allison to be a mistress was also her doing. “How dare that bitch humiliate me and claim my bracelet for herself?” she thought. Liana wanted Allison branded as a mistress and paraded as a social pariah!
“Thank you, everyone, for your concern. Mr. Walsh and I will be sure to notify everyone once we have news to share.” She gave the cameras a comely smile. “As for Mr. Walsh’s ex–wife … I know very little about Ms. Burton. Please don’t attack her. She and Mr. Walsh are no longer together. Let her live in peace.”
The situation was still fairly under control until she spoke up. The reporters were now buzzing with excitement, leading to more chaos. Just as Liana was backing up like a terrified bird, she was suddenly surrounded by a solid embrace. An arm wrapped itself around her shoulder while ushering her to the door. “You’re finally here, Jeremy.” Liana looked close to tears, but the man kept his silence.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks to look around. He couldn’t help but feel like Allison was right there, watching the scene play out. But how was that possible?
A surveillance camera by Walsh Group’s entrance shifted slightly. Alyssa was watching it all go down in the comforts of her office, observing as the pair left. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t affected by the sight of Jeremy protecting Liana and holding her in his arms as if she were a fragile doll.
“So, you’re protecting her. Have you ever protected me?” Alyssa’s eyes stung with unshed tears. “I was dying of pain when I called you that stormy night two years ago. I knew you wouldn’t come for me, and all I was hoping for was for you to answer my call. But what did I get? A phone that was switched off. To think I loved a man like you so dearly for three years. In the end, I was just a tool to appease your grandfather and stall for time. None of my efforts were worth it. Jeremy Walsh, you’re the biggest regret of my life.”
The Secret Society chat group was suddenly active again.
Jonah texted, “Hey, Lyse. The editor–in–chief of Solana Daily, the news agency that was the first to publicize the news about the wedding, has been replaced. It was your ex-husband’s doing. It seems his girlfriend’s snitching had nothing to do with him.”
