    Chapter 30


    Jasper returned to Seaview Manor,pletely drenched. Rosie hurried over with a cloth, but he waved


    her away.


    He headed upstairs with a long face.


    “W-What’s wrong with him? Did someone offend him?” Rosie asked in concern.

    “You shouldfort himter. He had been deceived,” responded Xavier.


    “Huh? He’s sharp and smart, though. He had been deceived? Have you reported to the police? We


    have to call the cops.” Rosie was surprised.


    Xavier shook his head. “It’s It’splicated. The police can’t do anything about it. Fortunately, justice


    prevailed over evil.”


    “I told him to download an anti-scammer app long ago. He just wouldn’t listen. Look at him now. He’s a


    victim.”


    Xavier smiled bitterly at the thought of Jasper having finally met his match. It wouldn’t have been this


    serious if it was money-rted, but the liar made use of Jasper’s pride!


    A pale-faced Jasper headed upstairs. He appeared lifeless.


    ‘Mr. Jasper, Ms. Gardner is here. Mr. Javier is asking for you. He’s in the study,” a maid informed him


    politely.


    His lips were pursed into a thin line as he walked to Javier’s study. (1


    “Jasper, you’re finally here!” Liana ran to him and hugged him as though he was a treasure found.


    He appeared indifferent. He did not return the hug immediately like he always did. Sorrow seemed to


    consume him as he faced Liana.


    “Jasper, how did it go? Have you met Ms. Alyssa?” Javier inquired sternly.


    As the chairman of Beckett Group, Javier had many responsibilities to attend to. Thus, he usually


    wouldn’t involve himself in such trivial matters.


    However, Sophia had been reminding him about the matter every day. He had no choice but to get


    Jasper to keep the situation under control.


    “Jasper will protect Liana and her family. He genuinely cares for her. If he personally spoke to Ms.


    Alyssa, Taylor Group wouldn’t refuse his request that easily. Beckett Group isn’t any smallpany. If


    they offend us, it won’t bode well for their development in Sna City.” Sophia snorted while linking


    arms with her husband. (1

    It was a method she had used for over 20 years, treating Jasper with high regard and showering him


    with praise to raise expectations from others.


    That way, she couldin to Javier whenever Jasper had shorings, using it as a means to


    drive a wedge between them.


    “Dad, Aunt Sophia, let’s stop right here.” Jasper’s eyes were hollow.


    “What do you mean by that?” Javier’s brows creased.


    “I won’t help Gardner Group from now onward. That’s it.” He then left without looking back, leaving the


    trio dumbstruck.


    “J-Javier, he’s joking, isn’t he?” The smile on Sophia’s face went stiff. She was getting anxious.


    Javier’s expression was grim, but he didn’t say anything.


    Jasper returned to his bedroom, drenched. He wasn’t in the state of mind to wash up and get changed


    because the fact that Alyssa had deceived him filled his head.


    “Why wouldn’t you meet me personally, Alyssa Taylor? Is it that you’re hiding something? Or do you


    think that I don’t deserve it?” Doubts filled his mind.


    All of the orders are canceled. The products will rot in the storage, and we can’t afford to pay the


    workers. If this goes on, we are going to go bankrupt!” Liana eximed.


    She lost her ever-gentle demeanor because her family’s crisis had consumed her thoughts.


    “It’s gettingte. I’ll get Xavier to drive you home,” Jasper said wearily.


    “Jasper, what happened? What made you change your mind? Tell me. Just tell me!”


    Jasper kept his words brief after a tiring day. Besides, what else could he say to her? Could he tell her


    that her brother deserved every bit of it?


    At that moment, he noticed something.


    The box containing the suit was missing! It was supposed to be on the headboard!


    He removed Liana’s hands and searched every corner of the room for it. Sternly, he called out, “Mrs.


    Rosie.”


    Rosie hurried over. “Yes, Mr. Jasper.”


    “Where’s the box on the headboard? There’s a suit in it.” He sounded urgent.


    ‘I didn’t touch it. You told me not to touch anything Madam Alice gave you when I do the cleaning.”
