Right then, Landon’s phone rang. It was a call from Jeremy.
“I need to answer a call, so please excuse me.” With that, he walked away.
“What a shameless man! I didn’t even ask you to be with me!” Alyssa cursed inwardly.
Soon, the waiter served her the coffee.
However, before she could take a sip, Vanessa walked up to her.
Vanessa couldn’t hear their conversation earlier. All she knew was that Alyssa was the female employee Landon sought.
“She is just a lowly worker. Who does she think she is to fight over Landon with me? I’m so going to teach her a lesson today!” she muttered to herself.
“Hey, I’m warning you–stay away from Mr. Harper if you still wish to continue working here.” Vanessa shot daggers at her, her eyes filled with hostility.
Frowning, Alyssa waved her hand before her nose. The perfume fragrance lingering on Vanessa was so pungent that her head throbbed. Alyssa couldn’t help wondering if Landon still had his sense of smell with him.
“What can you do if I don’t do as you say?” Alyssa asked without even bothering to look at her.
“I’ll file a complaint against you and make sure you don’t end up well!”
“A complaint? And it’s going to be because you’re dissatisfied that Landon talked with me?”
“You!” Vanessa was livid.
“Go ahead, then. Even if Mr. Jonah knows about this, he will only think that something is wrong with your brain.”
“Bitch!”
In anger, Vanessa reached out to take the cup of coffee on the table, thinking of giving it to Alyssa, whose beauty she was jealous of.
However, it didn’t turn out the way she had expected.
Suddenly, Vanessa screamed.
Alyssa had grabbed the cup ahead of Vanessa and splashed the coffee onto the latter’s face.
Vanessa’s makeup was ruined, and her newly–bought branded dress was stained. Her lips trembled nonstop, and she was on the verge of shedding tears.
Picking up a napkin calmly, Alyssa wiped the drop of coffee on the back of her hand. “If someone has to be mistreated between you and me, that person will have to be you, of course.” She smiled.

“It’s Mrs. Harper’s birthday the day after tomorrow. I don’t know what to buy for her, so come out and pick a gift with me tonight.” Jeremy cut straight to the chase.
“Alas, my mother treats you like her godson. Even if you give her wild grass, she will treasure it as if it were antique. So just give her anything!” Landon said casually.
“No. Come with me tonight.”
“I have an appointment tonight. Make it tomorrow.”
“Cancel it.”
“I’ve already invited her to have dinner together. How can I stand a beauty up? This is not what a gentleman should do.”
Landon thought for a while. Although he wasn’t quite a decent man, he wasn’t someone who would stab his friends behind their backs.
Landon didn’t have any secret affairs with Alyssa. He was merely trying to hook up with her aboveboard.
Clearing his throat slightly, he said in a stern voice, “I don’t want to keep you in the dark.
The person I’m meeting with tonight is actually your ex–wife.”
All of a sudden, silence ensued on the other side of the line.
“Hello?” Landon spared a glance at the screen to make sure that he wasn’t hung up on.
A while later, Jeremy’s deep and magnetic voice came through. “You’re with Allison now?”
As soon as Jeremy finished speaking, a sharp scream came from the restaurant.
Landon suddenly remembered that Vanessa was still in there. She definitely wouldn’t sit still. Letting her stay in the same place with Alyssa alone would surely lead to trouble!
“Jeremy, something has happened! I’ve got to gol And I can only meet with you tomorrow!”
Just as Landon was about to end the call, Jeremy asked, “Where are you?”
At this time, another piercing exclamation came through. It was way harsher than the first.
“At the Trivedian restaurant in KS World Hotel!” After saying that, Landon immediately headed back to the restaurant.
The moment he pushed open the door, he was shocked by what was happening before his eyes.
Alyssa was grabbing Vanessa by the hair with her left hand. Her right hand was forcefully pressing her head down onto the table. Meanwhile, Vanessa couldn’t move at all as both of her wrists were shackled by Alyssa’s other hand.
This simply looked like the scene of a smart female police officer arresting a criminal!
At first, Landon was worried that Alyssa would get the short end of the stick. Now it seemed like his worry was unnecessary. Instead of Intervening to stop the fight, he crossed his arms and watched with a smile on his lips.
“I’m going to sue you and make sure that you can’t survive in Solana!” Vanessa’s face had contorted under Alyssa’s pressure. But she was still not giving in.
“Hurry up, then. Otherwise, when my handprint on your face disappears, you won’t be able to do it anymore.”
Alyssa remained expressionless throughout the entire time. If Vanessa hadn’t wanted to attack her, Alyssa wouldn’t even want to touch her.
When Vanessa saw Landon was back, she immediately cried for help. “M–Mr. Harper, help me!”
“Okay, okay. It’s enough…” Landon approached them and pulled Alyssa away. His voice didn’t have any hints of reproach at all. In fact, it sounded like he was coaxing her.
He didn’t think such a scene was a big deal. After all, he had had four women fighting over him in the middle of the street before.
It was just that Alyssa was his best friend’s ex–wife. Hence, it might not be good for Jeremy if this news were to spread.
“Mr. Harper! What do you mean by that? This bitch has beaten me up! She slapped me in the face and even tugged at my hair! Look at what I have become! You have to seek justice for me!” Vanessa was so infuriated that it seemed like she was on the verge of getting crazy.
Alyssa sat calmly in her chair, crossing her legs as she watched the unkempt woman before her.
Landon ran his eyes down her legs in admiration and stopped at her fair and delicate feet adorned in high heels.
“Damn, how can she be so beautiful?” he muttered in his heart.
“You must have offended Ms. Burton, which was why she hit you. Apologize to her now,”
Landon said, fixing his stare on Alyssa.
