The Schmidt Group tried to contain the incident with the live broadcast. However, David's reputation was as good as garbage.
Everyone wanted to kick him to the ground and watch the Schmidt Group burn.
Plus, a lesser-known daughter of the Taylor family was the one who accused him. This added spice to the whole spectacle,
increasing the popularity of the news by a mile.
If the news continued to garner popularity, the police would detain David until further notice.
Even Victor, setting aside his ego, went to beg the police station captain. However, at that very moment, Winston, the wealthiest
tycoon, had become the latest hot topic. The news was being broadcast on the television in the office.
Surprisingly, Winston was being interviewed after cutting the ribbon at an opening event of a new project.
The reporter asked, "Mr. Taylor, during the live broadcast two days ago, the woman who claimed to be your daughter..."
"Claimed?"
Winston's face darkened instantly as he retorted rudely, "Which news agency are you from? You have some nerve to work in
media for receiving such slow and outdated information."
Everyone was so intimidated by his authority that they didn't dare let out a breath.
The hand of the reporter who held the microphone started shaking.
"That is my daughter, the youngest in the Taylor family. Lyla, my third wife, is her mother."
Winston's expression was notably somber. However, when he spoke of his youngest daughter, a rare warmth flickered in his
sharp, eagle-like eyes. "Whether it's Lyse or Taty, they are my everything. I've kept Taty out of the limelight because she's
younger and still in school.
"Both she and her mother prefer a low profile. I was concerned it would disturb Taty's academic life, so I've never taken her to
public events. Everything I say or do is to safeguard my youngest daughter."
"I never thought my protection toward my daughter had given David, that imbecile, the opportunity to bully my daughter!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They thought Winston was sharp with his words.
Everyone knew how close Winston and Victor were. However, for his daughter, Winston didn't give a damn about making the
Schmidt family look good.
"My daughter had been utterly humiliated. The Schmidt Group can kiss their plan to cover it goodbye. I will get to the bottom of
this!"
Winston's eyes were bloodshot, and he nearly lost his composure on camera. Struggling to suppress his boiling anger, he stared
at the camera with gritted teeth. "Victor, if you have even an ounce of conscience, let that individual face the consequences he
deserves and apologize to my daughter! Otherwise, the Schmidt Group will become KS Group's foremost adversary."
Victor was so enraged that he was breathing heavily. He frantically took the remote and turned the television off.
He understood that Winston was a bold, ruthless, and capable individual. Winston always meant what he said and ensured he
followed through on his promises. This wasn't a mere threat. It was a clear declaration of war!
"Mr. Victor, you've seen it for yourself. Your son's situation had blown out of proportion, involving Mr. Taylor's daughter, too. This
is tricky business."
The captain shook his head helplessly. "I could have intervened if that live broadcast did not happen. Now, the whole country has
their eyes on this matter. Even my higher-ups are aware. If I work for you again...
"Let's not talk about putting me in an awkward position for offending Mr. Taylor. If the higher-ups knew about it, I might lose my
position here. Why don't you talk it out with Mr. Taylor?"
"T-Talk my ass!"
If the television had belonged to Victor, he would have smashed it into pieces.
As Winston made his appearance on the news, the lovebirds, having enjoyed a passionate night at Heightsnew Villa, woke up
late and took their showers.
Alyssa only had a towel wrapped around her body. She sat on the chair in the bathroom and allowed Jasper to help her blow dry
her hair.
Her hair was as soft as silk and exceptionally thick. Jasper consistently invested a considerable amount of time blow-drying it,
and managing it required extensive effort in terms of combing and moisturizing.
However, Jasper never seemed bothered by the task. He found pleasure in the process and couldn't resist the joy of taking care
of her hair.
Taking care of her and treating her well was an addiction he would never get rid of.
"Hmm. You're amazing at this. It feels so comfortable."
Alyssa was enjoying it so much that she squinted her eyes. "I'm about to fall asleep again."
"Then, sleep a little more, hmm?" Jasper leaned over and kissed her ear.
"I can't. Taty's matter isn't settled yet, and Dad is acting up again. I have no mood to sleep."
Alyssa scrolled through the comments on Twitter. Her lips curled into a slight smile. "Thankfully, Dad's maneuvering had turned
some comments in her favor. Now, more people are supporting Taty and the Taylor Group in the comments, asking the Schmidts
for an explanation."
"Taty is a good lady. I'm not surprised that she curried favor on the internet. Plus, Mr. Taylor had exposed her as his daughter.
This will shut down some of the bad comments. The situation seemed to have gotten better." Jasper skillfully combed her hair
like a professional.
"But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Cyrus told me yesterday that he could try his best to detain David. However, if the evidence
doesn't add up, that bastard will eventually be bailed." Alyssa bit her lip with hatred.
"Don't worry, Lyse. The matter hasn't come to an end. Perhaps there is hope to turn things around."
Alyssa's phone rang the moment Jasper finished. She looked at the screen and saw an unknown number.
