“Mr. Taylor.”
A soft voice drifted from behind the men. They quickly turned around to look at the speaker.
Alyssa could be seen standing elegantly. Her left arm was now sealed in a cast. She looked calm and composed, though her face was slightly pale.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes slightly. His throat felt dry for some reason.

Allison stood there by herself. Her beautiful eyes conveyed innocence. The men who laid their eyes on her wanted nothing more than to protect her.
Suddenly, an old and blurry memory popped into Jeremy’s mind. Strangely enough, Allison resembled the figure in that memory.
Allison …
Allison Pain shot through Jeremy’s head for a moment, but it soon disappeared alongside the memory.
Silas quickly approached Alyssa with reddened eyes. His heart ached for her as he asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“Not really. Let’s go home.”
Alyssa flashed a bright smile at her older brother.
For a moment, Jeremy was captivated by that smile.
Silas wrapped an arm around Alyssa’s waist and led her to the other end of the corridor.
The latter couldn’t be bothered to even glance in Jeremy’s direction.
Jeremy was jealous, to say the least. He was about to approach the siblings when Landon stopped him.
“That’s enough, Jeremy. You’ll only piss her off if you go after her right now. It’s your fault for hurting Ms. Burton in the first place. Haven’t you realized that she’s the one who called Mr. Taylor here?
“She only wants to be with him right now. Let’s not bother them anymore.”
Jeremy watched as Silas and Alyssa disappeared from his line of sight. He could only clench his fists tightly in response.
Soon, Sean hurried over to the location. Silas had informed him to come here as soon as he could. Hence, Sean was still kept in the dark about Alyssa’s situation.
“What happened to you, Ms. Alyssa? Who hurt you?”
“It’s all thanks to that fucking mutt, Jeremy!”

Silas was still furious about what Jeremy did. He was about to start ranting when Alyssa glared at him, which shut him up.
“What the hell? I’ll go beat him up right now!” Sean exclaimed, Sean was about to get up and leave when Alyssa called out to him. “It’s fine. You can’t beat him in a fight anyway. He used to be a member of the Peacekeeping Forces, after all.
You might get beaten up instead.”
She continued, “Besides, he didn’t mean to hurt me. That man always underestimates his strength, after all. He doesn’t care about me at all,”
“Why do you sound like you’ve known him for a long time, Ms. Alyssa?”
Alyssa looked dazed for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips and kept mum.
Sean didn’t know her exact relationship with Jeremy for now. She didn’t mean to hide the truth from him. It was just that she was too lazy to explain everything to him.
Alyssa’s relationship with Jeremy was already over. She no longer wished to have anything to do with him.
Silas brewed a cup of coffee for Alyssa once they returned to the mansion. At the same time, he kept cussing at Jeremy for being an inhuman bastard. The thing was, he had been ranting about Jeremy on their way home.
“I’m sorry, Silas.” Alyssa looked down at her feet guiltily.
“Huh? Why are you apologizing to me?”
Silas was surprised to hear the apology. He placed a hand on Alyssa’s forehead immediately. “Are you having a fever? Why are you spouting nonsense?”
“No. I had to ask for your help to keep my identity a secret since Jonah went to Yoarkley on a business trip. I was worried you’d think I was using you the whole time …”
Alyssa’s voice grew softer as she spoke.
“What are you talking about, you silly brat?”
Silas walked over to Alyssa and gave her a comforting hug. All he felt was sorrow and heartbreak for his younger sister. He made sure to avoid touching her injured arm while hugging her.
“We’re your older brothers. It’s our duty to protect you. If you get married again in the future, we’ll become your bodyguards.”
Silas felt his words weren’t reassuring enough. So, he added, “Even if you stay single for the rest of your life, we’ll still protect you. You can rely on us.”
Alyssa smiled happily in response.
Jeremy didn’t focus on the meeting in the afternoon, thanks to Alyssa’s injury. He didn’t pay attention to the senior managers who made their respective reports in front of him.
Everyone else noted the minor injury on the corner of Jeremy’s mouth. He looked quite pissed off at the same time. Still, no one dared to ask him what happened. They feared him so much that they didn’t dare to say a thing.
Jeremy, despite being a bastard son, wielded unquestioned authority in the Walsh Group.
The first wife’s son was born with poor health. He spent his entire life recuperating in Randerland. There was word about his medical condition worsening from time to time.
Apparently, the son was now confined in a wheelchair at all times.
Meanwhile, Sophia had two daughters. The first daughter was 25 years old, whereas the second daughter was 20. Unfortunately, they weren’t skilled enough to take over the family company.
This left Jeremy as the perfect candidate to become the heir of the Walsh Group. After all, he was competent and talented. If someone 1/2

“Mr. Walsh, someone has swooped in and snatched the Willow Group’s hotel from us,”
one of the senior managers reported.
“Who was it?” It was true that Jeremy didn’t pay attention to the meeting, but that didn’t mean he didn’t listen to the reports. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and focused on the manager.
“It was the KS Group. The Willow Group has transferred the hotel’s ownership to that company. That hotel will be rebranded as the second KS World Hotel in Solana City.”
Jeremy’s body went stiff before his eyes darkened immediately.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Our team was engaged in a negotiation with the representatives from the Willow Group.
They were about to seal the deal when Mr. Taylor suddenly swooped in and snatched the deal away. We didn’t think this would happen.”
