Landon put on a bitter face. That certainly did not sound like a compliment. He regretted his playboy

ways in the past. Even after he had turned over a new leaf, it was difficult to shake off that reputation.

"I checked the Third Eye. Jameson Schmidt is indeed the owner of The Millennium." Axel furrowed his

brows. "He frequents the club and is very closely connected with officials in Solana City. The

Millennium is, at best, a prostitution hub for the wealthy and powerful disguised as a club. I guess

Jameson is the pimp."

"The Third Eye? Are you serious? Why did you use the system of the Secret Intelligence Service?"

Alyssa widened her eyes in disbelief. "That's an overkill. Axel, you shouldn't risk your career just tonovelbin

investigate Jameson."

"It's worth it if it's for you." Axel squinted and held her hand. "Don't worry. It's fine to use the system

once in a while. Besides, I would love to move on from Jameson Schmidt. I'll settle him as soon as

possible for you and Jasper."

Jasper was touched by Axel's sentiments. He choked on his emotions. Tearing up, Alyssa curled up

her fingers in Axel's palm. "Axel, thank you so much."

"I know you're desperate to clear Jasper's name in our family. You wanted Dad to know it was all a

misunderstanding. Otherwise, it'll be really tough for you to marry Jasper." Axel snorted at Jasper.

Frowning, she playfully chided him, "Axel!"

"Don't worry. Jasper is super loyal to Alyssa. He won't marry anyone except for her. Haha!" Landon

grinned and patted Jasper on his shoulder.

The air froze in awkwardness. Alyssa stared at her feet and mumbled, "You must be fun at parties,

Landon Harper. Just keep your mouth shut the next time."

Landon hurriedly shut up.

"Since this Amber seems important to Jameson, let's spare her for now. It's best if we could quietly

keep an eye on her," Jasper suggested sternly.

"It's not enough to keep an eye on her." Alyssa had a better idea. "We need to get her on our side.

Look into her background, get to know her, and win her over."

Jasper voiced his doubts. "Lyse, I'm afraid that's impossible. Jameson couldn't have built his influence

in Kontina in 15 years without gathering some loyal subordinates.

"That woman willingly serves him for years, even when she knows Jameson is merely using her as

your substitute. It'll be hard for an outsider to break that bond between them."

"Why is it impossible?" Alyssa looked at Axel, amused. "Axel can easily win Ms. Altman over.

"She was supposed to kill Axel on that night. Just look at all the weapons and poison she carried. She

looked like she was ready to die with him, but in the end, she betrayed Jameson and spared Axel's life.

"I suspect she's fallen for Axel. If that's the case, getting Axel to charm her is the key to our success."

Jasper and Landon swallowed hard in fear. They were shocked by Alyssa's guts and willingness to put

her brother's life at stake.

They anticipated Axel's outburst, but on the contrary, Axel lifted a brow and smirked, looking interested.

"Sure. I'll try my hand on her."

Once again, Jasper and Landon were taken aback by Axel's daring decision. Perhaps it was the

professionalism of a secret agent.

"Lyse, don't you think it's too risky?"
