“What?”
Jasper widened his eyes immediately. His fork ttered on the floor.

When Alyssa noticed how rmed he looked, her heart nank.
“Ms. Gardner threw a fit at home earlier while screaming your name, Mr. Beckett. She’s emotionally
unstable right now. Madam Sophia has requested you to visit her as soon as you can. She’s worried
that Ms. Gardner might harm herself-
Before Xavier could finish, Jasper got up. He bolted out of the dining room immediately.
“You ingrate! I’ll disown you if you dare visit that Gardner woman!” Newton mmed a hand on
the dining table furiously.
Unfortunately, it was toote. Jasper’s silhouette had already disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Goodness, why am I stuck with an ingrate as my grandson? I’ve achieved so much in my lifetime,
yet I can’t save your marriage! Oh, Alice, this is all my fault!”
Newton shook his head with a heavy sigh. He felt nothing but guilt when he looked at Alyssa once
again.
Alyssa’s eyes were clear and calm. She smiled lightly before cing her cool palm on Newton’s
wrinkled hand.
“Don’t say that, Grandpa. You’ve done more than enough for my sake. Jasper and I just aren’t
meant to be.”
Meanwhile, Jasper got ready to get into his car while looking quite worried.
“Mr. Beckett!”
He stopped in his tracks immediately and turned around to look at Alice.
She had run out of the vi. The glint in her red–rimmed eyes was very obvious under the bright
light.
For some reason, Jasper felt slightly guilty when he met her eyes. Just as he was about to say
something, Alyssa interrupted him.
“Please inform Ms. Betty on my behalf that I won’t let her off the hook. After all, she did humiliate
my employee and caused her to have a sudden seizure. Ms. Betty must take responsibility for
what happened.”
Jesper furrowed his brows immediately. He didn’t expect Alyssa to follow him out of the vi just
to bring up that matter
The hopetal glint in his eyes disappeared immediately.
Setty may be my sister. But I don’t really interfere with her private matters.”
“So this is a private matter to you, huh? Fine. I get what you mean.”
Alyssa’s lips curled into a cold smirk before she started making her way back to the vi. She no
longer bothered to look at Jasper after that.
Jasper felt uneasy at that moment. He could feel a shiver running down his spine.
Was Alyssa making fun of him?
That night, Jasper visited Liana, who apparently suffered from severe depression. He stayed at her
ce till midnight before he was finally able to go home.
Jesper was still mindful of what Liana had done to Alice. Still, he pitied her when he saw the medical
report detailing her ment*l illness.
The subject of depression would forever haunt him, after all.
“Something happened. Mr. Beckett. Would you like me to deal with it?” Xavier asked hesitantly
while clutching his phone.
“What is it?” Jasper happened to be resting with his eyes closed
“Someone has uploaded a video of Ms. Betty humiliating the housekeeper to the Inte. Thank
goodness our people were able to notice that video in time. They wanted to ask if you’d like it
deleted to protect ourpany’s reputation.”
“Of course.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly while giving his order. “This is Betty’s personal problem. We can’t let
it affect thepany’s image. Everything rted to that incident must be deleted from
the Inte.”
“Yes, sir!”
Once Jasper returned to Seaview Manor, he headed upstairs right away.
Mrs. Rosie was walking out of her room while wearing a nightgown. She looked very worried as
well

Warmth flooded Jasper’s heart when he noticed Mrs. Rosie in the corridor.
She tended to stay up to wait for him if he didn’t tell her when he would return. In a way, she was
like his mother.
But Mrs. Rosie was now an elderly woman. It was difficult for her to stay awake at midnight.
That was why Alice took over the responsibility of taking care of Jasper during the past three years.
Every night, she would only go to bed after he returned home.
“Jasper, have you eaten? I’ve warmed up a te of leftovers for you.”
“Jasper, can you sleep earlier tomorrow? You tend to stay up till midnight, so you often have
headaches. You need to have a good sleeping schedule, you know.”
“I know you don’t like it whenever I nag you, Jasper. But I’m still going to say it again, even if you yell at
me. I just want you to stay healthy all the time.”
“I won’t stop waiting for you just because you said so. We’re family, after all.”
Mrs. Rosie heaved a sigh. “If only Madam Alice is still here. I’d be able to rest well at night. She spent
the past three years taking good care of you, Mr. Jasper.
“I’ve witnessed how dull her skin became. She stayed up every night and waited for Really, my heart
aches for her whenever I think about it.”
