Chapter 824
After hearing Jameson’s side of the story, Alyssa couldn’t help but find it unbelievable.
Setting aside Jameson’s refined and elegant appearance, she doubted whether he could commit such a brutal act. 3
Even if he wanted to deal with David, given his status, he could easily find someone else to handle it. Why would he personally get involved? 1
She regained her composure and asserted firmly, “Mr. David, this is a grave matter, and you need concrete evidence. Furthermore, you should address these concerns with Uncle Victor and the authorities, not with me.”
“Ms. Alyssa, you saved me. You are my benefactor! I’m not so heartless as to stand by and watch you walk into the lion’s den without knowing its inhabitants!”
With anxiety and sincerity in his voice, David continued, “I know Jameson is after you, and you two appear to be close. I fear you might be blinded by him!
“That man has been psychologically disturbed since childhood. His refinement is merely a façade. In truth, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
“His pursuit of you is solely to leverage the Taylor family’s influence to turn his life around. He doesn’t
genuinely care about you.
“Jameson may not be entirely malevolent, but he certainly isn’t virtuous. After all, he orchestrated the ‘
accident’ at the racecourse.”
David was acutely aware that Jameson was channeling his anger on Alyssa’s behalf, and it was
particularly unsettling considering Jameson’s inclination to take matters into his own hands.
A marital union with Alyssa seemed unequivocally unattainable given David’s present circumstances.
Unable to have her, he pledged to disrupt Jameson’s path. His resolve was firm-he aimed to expose the
hypocritical mask Jameson wore.
Exiting the hospital room, Alyssa appeared lost in contemplation. Outside, the Schmidt family inquired
about the situation, and Alyssa responded sincerely, though her distracted eyes betrayed her thoughts.
In that moment, Alyssa caught sight of Jameson standing in the corner. She pursed her l*ps and walked
straight toward him.
“Lyse, I appreciate your efforts,” Jameson said, standing upright and distancing himself from the wall with
a smile.

Alyssa, who wore a mask, comforted David, saying, “Please remain calm.”
She added, “Just saving one leg already makes you luckier than many others.”
“Someone intentionally harmed me. Jameson is behind it!”
David’s expression suddenly turned fierce as he grabbed Alyssa’s hand.
Feeling a sense of alarm, Alyssa cast a quick glance at the two doctors. Luckily, they were a distance away, and David’s indistinct words went unnoticed by them.
Alyssa asked the doctors to leave, and she went to close the door.
With a grave expression, she turned to David and inquired, “Mr. David, during the last surgery, while you were under anesthesia, you mentioned that Jameson tried to kill you. Do you have any evidence?”
David trembled violently, clearly recalling the night of the accident with intense fear.
“After my car fl*pped, the driver died on the spot, but my secretary survived. I was pinned under the car, unable to move, but I distinctly remember my leg was not broken. It was still functional.”
Alyssa furrowed her brow. “And then?”
David’s eyes widened with fear as he recounted, “Then I saw a black car slowly approaching. A man wearing a cap and a black mask exited the car. I won’t mistake his face and his eyes. It was Jameson!”
Alyssa’s heart tightened.
“He walked over, holding an iron rod. Without a word, he beat my secretary to death in front of me! Then,
he raised the rod high and struck my leg! I screamed in agony, and after that, I can’t remember anything
else.”
