Chapter 29


    The truth was, Jasper not only failed to experience true love, but he also felt increasingly helpless in


    this rtionship.


    A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. Jasper responded, and Xavier entered the office with a


    document.


    “I’ve looked into it, Mr. Jasper. KS World Hotel returned Elysian Home’s products and terminated all


    coborations with Gardner Group nine days ago. Taylor Group hadn’t exposed the quality issue to the


    media at that time. It was more of the public’s assumptions.”


    Jasper knew the series of events that took ce after that. Next, Liana announced their wedding and


    hired ghostwriters to attack Alice.


    Only then did Taylor Group expose Gardner Group for their quality issue, leading to the current crisis.


    Gritting his teeth, Jasper took an aspirin to alleviate the headache. His hands were shaking.


    “I heard there was a vice general manager named Michael at KS World Hotel. He received a huge sum


    from Gardner Group before Ms. Alyssa was appointed. She found out he used substandard mattresses


    and fired him. He had been with them for over 20 years. Mr. Taylor


    personally promoted him to that position.”


    Xavier clicked his tongue a few times. “She’s charming. She’s the female version of you, Mr. Jasper.”


    Despite holding grudges about the stairs, Xavier was still generous with hispliments.


    “Why do I think that they are all connected?”


    Jasper kneaded his temples when a tapping sound rang in his ears. It was the sound of Alice’s heels


    click-cking. He heard Alice speaking to him in his head.


    “Jasper, don’t take aspirins anymore. Tell me whenever it hurts. I’ll give you a massage.”


    “Jasper, it hurts me to see you in pain. I will make sure to treat your illness. That way, we won’t have to


    suffer anymore.”


    Alice’s gentle words rang in his ears. He could vaguely feel someone massaging his temples too!


    Jasper lost it. He silently rebuked himself, “Damn it! I’m thinking about her again! I’m having delusions


    too. I had never cared for her feelings. Why do I keep missing her after the divorce? I am not a two-


    timing jackass! I mustn’t be!” 2


    The night descended, and a Rolls-Royce glided along the slippery road.


    The area was close to KS World Hotel, a piece ofnd that had always sparked envy in Jasper due to


    its immense value worth millions.


    Had they not lost a star due to insufficient management, KS World Hotel could’ve been the only six-star


    hotel in Sna City.


    Alyssa seemed to have the capability and influence to bring it back on the right track.


    As the car paused at the red light, Jasper cleared the condensation from the window to peer outside.


    A woman standing with an umbre caught his attention. She was hailing a taxi by the road. A sudden


    realization made his heart race. He


    quickly darted out of his car toward her.


    “Mr. Jasper! Mr. Jasper, where are you going?” Xavier was caught off-guard.


    Jasper’s emotions had been out of control since the divorce, driving Xavier to the end of his wits.


    The woman managed to hail a taxi. As she reached the door handle, Jasper grabbed her arm.


    Baffled, she raised her head. Her face paled almost instantly. “M-Mr. Jasper?”


    “Ms. Alyssa.” His wet fringe concealed his dangerous gaze. “Need a ride?”


    The woman shrieked and flung his hand away to get into the taxi. The taxi driver instantly stepped on


    the gas pedal.


    “Mr. Jasper!” Xavier caught up with him with an umbre.


    Jasper shoved him away. He was all drenched in the rain, and his lips quivered. He huffed, “Alyssa


    Taylor, you liar!”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
