Jasper and Alyssa made eye contact with each other, And everyone went silent. It was as though


    time had been frozen for a moment.


    “That’s Mr. Beckett! It really is him!” Someone quickly recognized Jasper.


    “J–Jasper!” Betty didn’t expect to see him there. Naturally, she felt anxious.


    Deep down, she was still scared of Jasper. Even though Sophia kept referring to him as the


    bastard son of the Beckett family, he was still in charge of the Beckett Group.


    “Xavier, take Betty away. Hurry up,” Jasper ordered stonily.


    Some people were recording and taking photos of the whole incident quietly. If Jasper were to drag the


    matter out any longer, the Beckett Group’s reputation would be at risk. All thanks to Betty’s actions.


    Xavier quickly dragged Betty out of the lobby without wasting any time.


    Alyssa chuckled coldly on the inside before averting her icy gaze.


    That was Jasper’s true form. He was cold and emotionless, just like a robot.


    He could care less about the victim and culprit in this scenario. He only cared about protecting the


    Beckett family’s pride and reputation to secure his profits.


    “Shit! She’s going to bite down on her tongue!” Sean eximed fearfully.


    Anxiety washed over Alyssa’s mind. She stuck her wrist into the housekeeper’s mouth without


    giving it much thought.


    The housekeeper bit down on Alyssa’s wrist. A gut–wrenching pain red from her wrist at that


    moment. But she didn’t even flinch. Instead, she endured the pain as much as she could.


    “How could you-” Jasper jolted in shock. It was toote for him to stop Alyssa.


    He could only watch as Alyssa sacrificed her wrist to save the housekeeper. She might look frail and


    petite, but she was actually a kind and determined woman.


    That sight shocked Jasper to his core.


    Suddenly, he recalled a memory of his savior, Dove.


    Back then, Jasper was heavily injured on the battlefield. Dove had ced him on a bup sack and


    tied a rope to it. Then, she traveled a long distance while dragging him with all her might.


    “Don’t give up on hope! We’ll definitely survive!”


    After that, chaos erupted in the survivors‘ camp. Jasper was unable to find Dove. Instead, he found


    the rope drenched in blood. He wondered if her hands had healed by now.


    Jasper clenched his fists as he continued to recall the events of the past. At the same time, he felt


    quite tense.


    Soon, the ambnce arrived at the hotel. The housekeeper was quickly whisked away.


    Alyssa was still worried about the employee. So, she ordered Sean to follow the ambnce to the


    hospital.


    “Thank goodness you took the right precautions, miss. Otherwise, the patient would have been in


    danger,” a paramedic praised.


    “It was nothing. I’m d she’s doing fine for now. Alyssa shed a small smile at the paramedic.


    By the time she returned to the lobby, the front desk manager had already gotten everything


    under control. The crowd was gone as well.


    Alyssa nced at the deep teeth marks imprinted on her right wrist. Blood was seeping out of the tiny


    wounds. She immediately headed toward the hotel’s infirmary. Her wrist was in pain.


    “Alice.”


    Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat. When she turned around, she noticed Jasper stopping behind her. His


    expression was thunderous.


    They were standing so close that they could feel their warm breaths hitting each other.


    If one of them were to take another step, their bodies would have made contact.

    Alyssa was dazed for a moment, but she quickly reacted by stepping backward.


    Before she could do so, Jasper grabbed her by the arm and pulled her toward him.


    The next moment, Alyssa found herself bumping into Jasper’s body. His muscles were


    surprisingly warm and hard.


    For some reason, Alyssa’s heart started racing wildly when she felt Jasper’s body.


    At the same time, she couldn’t help but curse him ment*lly for having such taut muscles.


    “We’re still in public, Jasper. Please mind your manners.” Alyssa was slightly out of breath. She tried to


    wrench her wrist out of Jasper’s grip but failed.


    “Where were you during these past few days? Why did you vanish all of a sudden?” Jasper gazed


    down at Alyssa. His grip on her wrist tightened.


    “Hmph! It has nothing to do with you! You’re just a stranger to me!”


    Alves raw sunoyed by Jasper’s behavios He was as arrogant as ever I was taking care of


    puvate business. It’s normal for you to not know where I went.”


    Come with me. Alice Jasper’s eyes darkened even more as his tone grew colder and deeper.


    “Let go of me. Jasper Leave this ce right now


    Alyssa gritted her teeth angrly Her patience finally ran out at that moment. Tll call for security


    if you don’t leave night now


    Frustration washed over Jasper at that momETLE.


    How dair his ex wife chase him out of the hotel‘ Had she forgotten how she had done all she


    could to please him in the past?


    Jasper’s possessive side took over him immediately He wanted nothing more than to win this battle. At


    the same time, an unknown feeling started sprouting within him.


    “Not even Jonah can stop me from taking you home!”
