Alyssa raised her chin and confidently strode toward Jasper. He could feel his heart racing as he
watched her approach, his whole body tensing up with anticipation. He desperately wanted to approach
her.
Frowning deeply, Zoe tightened her grip on Jasper possessively. She could tell that Jasper knew the
beautiful Alyssa. More than that, he seemed to care about Alyssa a lot!
Just as Jasper believed Alyssa was headed toward him, she breezed past him.
“Christina!” Alyssa left behind an astonished Jasper and called out to someone with a wide smile.
“Oh! My sweetheart!” Christina strolled over from the far end of the corridor, waving excitedly at Alyssa
as though they were long-lost friends. They evidently shared a close bond.
The three men stared agape. Even Zoe was dumbfounded at the scene. Christina had always been
distant and aloof. Throughout their three-year mentorship, she seldom praised Zoe and often appeared
annoyed.
What did Alyssa do to elicit a rare smile from Christina?
“Darling, I did not know you were in Sna City! I would have freed up my time to have lunch with you!”
Christina eximed, embracing Alyssa with delight.
“You had your rehearsals to attend to. I wouldn’t want to interfere with yourmitments,” Alyssa
spoke Grunndish fluently in a singsong voice.
Naturally, she was dealing with Christina as Sharon. They were close to each other because Christina
had
Alyssa possessed a charm that allowed her to effortlessly form friendships with those she coborated
with.
Memories flooded Jasper’s mind when he saw Alyssa conversing with a renowned pianist. His
shoulders
trembled, and he almost cked out.
When Alyssa was newly married to him, she’d smile at him, bright-eyed.
Like any youngdy, she’d chatter about anything she deemed interesting. However, he had been too
self-
absorbed to give her the attention she deserved.
Over time, Alyssa slowly transformed into a taciturn woman, an almost invisible figure who quietly

her days with him at Seaview Manor.
During the three years, she withdrew from social interactions and did not form any friendships. Instead,
she immersed herself in art and music.
Meanwhile, he found her uninteresting and iparable to Liana in every conceivable way, even
regarding her as a blemish on his life. 1
It ultimately became clear that he was the one responsible for nearly breaking Alyssa. His emotional
abuse made her subdued andpliant.
Her profound love for him ended in tragedy, like the story of Titanic.
“Jameson,e over!” Alyssa’s eyes shimmered as she looked beyond Jasper in search of Jameson.
She beamed and motioned at Jameson.
“Coming.” Jameson hastily adjusted his tie and shirt. There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes as he
approached Alyssa in great strides.
Jasper clenched his fists as he wallowed in bitterness. At the same time, Landon ground his teeth in
jealousy. The two looked like brothers in trouble.
When Jameson rubbed shoulders with Jasper, he suddenly came to a stop. He adjusted his sses
and gave Jasper a smug and triumphant smile. His razor-sharp gaze cut through Jasper’s heart.
Jasper powerlessly watched as Jameson stood beside Alyssa.
He wondered if that was all he could do, watching on as a bystander. Was there no way to halt Alyssa
and Jameson’s budding rtionship?
“Jameson is a friend of mine. He and his mother are big fans of yours. He’d love to get an autographed
CD for his mom,” Alyssa introduced Jameson warmly to Christina.
“OK! I’m more than willing to do so!” Christina was unusually nice to a stranger for Alyssa’s sake. Not
only
did she sign the CD, but she also asked her agent to take a group photo for them.
Everything looked so perfect at the moment. Bitterness coursed through Jasper’s veins.
