Alyssa was rendered speechless at Julien's behavior in this tense situation. Suddenly, it occurred to her
that Jasper did not seem surprised by Jonah's arrival. Was he in the know?
"Jasper, did you call Jonah..." Her voice trailed off.
She widened her eyes, staring quizzically at Jasper. His eyes twinkled as he whispered into her ear,
"Sorry, Lyse. It wasn't my intention to keep it a secret from you. I didn't ask Jonah to show up. I merely
told Xavier to give Jonah a heads-up after we left for the police station.
"I didn't expect him to show up at all. It shows how much he cares about Sean, but more importantly,
he's concerned about you. By the way, why is Dr. Lovelace here as well? Why do they always show up
together?"
While Jasper was musing, Alyssa grinned and gestured at him to come close. He inched closer, and
she revealed in a whisper, "I called Dr. Lovelace."
Jasper was surprised at the revelation. It seemed that Alyssa had kept a secret from him as well. The
calculating couple seemed to operate in sync.
"Is a secretary worth that effort?" Josh snickered at Jonah. "Anyway, it's too late now. Sean Lynch has
confessed. Do you remember what your dad said in an interview before? One should take
responsibility for one's actions. I'd like to remind you of the same."novelbin
As heirs of their respective family businesses, Josh and Jonah would inevitably clash as business
rivals. Despite making all the necessary preparations, Josh had lost out to Jonah in every competition
for projects the KS Group was interested in.
Frustrated by maintaining a friendly facade for the sake of family friendship, Josh relished the
opportunity to express his animosity now that they were in direct opposition.
Jonah faced the situation with calm. Squinting, he warned, "Sean is not just any ordinary secretary. Did
you not know that he's my dad's godson? You're his brother, but his life is worth more than yours."
After learning that Winston Taylor had taken Sean as a godson, Simon's face reddened in anger.
Envious, he thought, "It seemed that all of Sean's bootlicking has paid off."
"Mr. Barrett, do you not care about evidence at all? Let's say I make an outrageous claim right now. Are
you going to arrest and charge me?" Julien took a step forward, smirking.
Gabe swiftly clarified, "Our decisions are based on evidence. Sir, please refrain from making baseless
accusations." "Really? Why don't you take a good look at this, then?" With that, Julien tossed an
envelope onto the table.
Gabe picked it up with astonishment and extracted the document from within. His eyes widened. "W-
What is this?"
"It's David Schmidt's previous diagnosis. God knows how much effort and networking I put in to get this
from the hospital archives."
Josh and Simon's expressions dropped upon seeing the evidence. Meanwhile, Jasper gazed at Alyssa
with admiration.
