Chapter 309
After a tumultuous period, the chaos finally died down.
Alyssa masterfully set in motion a butterfly effect that led to the downfall of the Gardner Group, usinghe pawn, Curtis Halloway.
While the Beckett Group was caught up in the turmoil, it did, at the very least, prevent Jasper frommarrying Liana.
As a scandal victim, Jasper didn’t suffer significant damage apart from the temporary embarrassmentdue to being the subject of public gossip.
One day, while Alyssa was playing two rounds of games in her office, Sean peeled some grapes forher. He took the opportunity to report on some developments.
“Mr. Cyrus provided an update on Rosaline Kirkman’s case. It will soon be brought to the district court.Currently, no reputable attorney is willing to defend her because the evidence is rock solid. Nobodylikes to fight a losing battle, so I believe she’s looking at a minimum sentence of 20 years.”
He leaned in attentively and fed her a grape. She ate it with a satisfied squint and licked her upper liplike a kitten. “Ooh! That’s sweet!”
Sean couldn’t help but melt at her words.
“Cyrus is so uptight, though. He could have called me, but he insisted that you relay the message. He’sso
…” Alyssa heaved a frustrated sigh.
Cyrus was similar to Tatiana, in that they were overthinkers.
Only three years older than Alyssa, Cyrus cared for her as much as her four other brothers did.
“He certainly has a chip on the shoulder. He struggles to show his affection openly.” Sean, looking in,was
well aware of the dynamics among the members of the Taylor family.
“Cyrus is overthinking:” Alyssa shook her head. “He might be my half-sibling, but I love and respect him
the same.”
“Oh, one more thing. Curtis Halloway is in prison now. As revenge for you, Silas and Cyrus placed himwith
debtors and gangsters.” Sean grimaced. “He shall pay for what he did.”
Alyssa smiled. “That’s so nice of Silas and Cyrus. I’ll treat them to a home-cooked dinner.”
“I also heard that the Gardners have almost cleared their debts.”

Alyssa paused and frowned. “Did Jasper help them out? Pretty loyal and merciful of him to do so.”novelbin
“It wasn’t him. Sophia Kirkman helped them out.”
Alyssa fell into silence.
“It’s weird, though. Liana is ruined and has no use for Sophia. And Sophia is no saint. Why would sheclean the mess for the Gardners?” Sean wondered aloud.
“Liana might be of no use, but she might have dirt on Sophia.” Liana analyzed with a smirk, “After allthese years of working together, Liana must have something on Sophia. You’re right that Sophia is nosaint. She must have paid off the Gardner’s debts because she was blackmailed.”
“Hmph! What can I say, except that she shot herself in the foot? That was well deserved!” Sean peeledanother grape and fed it to Alyssa.
He continued, “I heard that Liana went abroad and left her dad behind after paying the hospital bills. Ibet she wouldn’t be back anytime soon.
“She didn’t give a damn about that poor daughter of hers. I did what you asked and sent the little girlunder the care of a Solana City orphanage sponsored by the Taylor Group.
“The girl is doing well at the new home. You don’t have to worry about her.”
“What a pity.” Alyssa swallowed the grape.
“Hm?”
“It’s a pity that Jasper and Liana did not marry. Those two selfish and heartless beings should havebeen
tied to each other forever.”
Just as Alyssa exited the game, she received a game request from a player named “Rose”, who was
ranked pretty high.
She added the player without much thought, partly because she liked anything associated with the rose
and also because she often received requests from players all around the world as she was the Queenof
Killers, Lucifer.
