Jasper’s mistaken perception of Alyssa was unquestionably deserving of a spot in the hall of shame.


    Right at that moment, the inte rang. Jasper put the call on speaker. “What is it?”


    “Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa’s secretary is here to see you. He didn’t have an appointment. Should we


    send him away?”


    Xavier rolled his eyes upon learning that Sean was here. He despised Sean very much, and their


    rtionship resembled that of cats and dogs-in a perpetual state of conflict.


    “Let him in,” ordered Jasper in a cold andposed tone.


    The opportunity to meet the esteemed president of the Beckett Group was a rare privilege. However,


    Sean was connected to Alyssa, so Jasper was willing to make an exception.


    A few minutester, Sean entered the office with a stoic expression.


    “Mr. Beckett, I came under Ms. Alyssa’s orders to deliver something to you,” said Sean as he ced at

    “What’s inside?” Jasper’s gaze was fixed on the box.


    “A bomb,” Sean replied indifferently.


    Jasper pursed his lips, finding himself at a loss for words.


    “Hey, do you think you’re funny?” Xavier couldn’t tolerate Sean at all. He was such ackey for Alyssa.


    He retorted, “If it really is a bomb, do you think you can get past the security check at the Beckett


    Group’s


    entrance?”


    Sean sneered at him. “So why did Mr. Beckett ask in the first ce? You just have to keep in mind that


    it’s nothing dangerous. Ms. Alyssa gave it to you, so just ept it.”


    Xavier gritted his teeth and thought to himself that the person in front of him might seem decent, but he


    could be quite an asshole when speaking.


    Jasper pressed his lips together firmly as he opened the box with curiosity.


    Indeed, there wasn’t anything dangerous in it. Instead, a mousse cake shaped like a dog’s head was in


    it. He smiled unwittingly.


    “Did Ms. Alyssa make this herself?” He seemedposed, but a hint of joy in his eyes gave him away.


    “Huh, how can you even entertain such a thought, Mr. Beckett? Ms. Alyssa told me to buy it for you. Do


    you still think you’re worthy of Ms. Alyssa’s cooking?” Sean mocked.


    Jasper was dumbfounded, his jaw clenched tight.


    “You’re speaking in vain. It’s not as if Ms. Alyssa never cooked for Mr. Beckett. If he wasn’t worthy, how


    could she have done so for three years?” Xavier snapped angrily. He could no longer hold back his


    anger.


    Sean nced at Jasper with disdain. “Alice might make dog food, but that’s not the case for Ms.


    Alyssa.”


    Xavier was utterly infuriated. He clenched his fists, ready to throw a punch at him. “How dare you!”


    “That’s enough, Xavier,” Jasper called a halt to his actions. Instead, he questioned Sean sternly, “Why


    did Alyssa send me this?”


    “Ms. Alyssa sent me here to tell you that she has already received the anonymous email you sent. This


    is what she gave you in return.”


    Jasper was stunned for a while. She already knew? So soon?


    “Ms. Alyssa sent this cake to remind you not to treat her like a fool, She’s incredibly smart an extremely


    talented people around her. She doesn’t need a strategist who’s as dense as a dog.”

    Once Sean had finished his sentence, he didn’t even bother to excuse himself. He simply turned and


    left the office right away.


    “Strategist who’s as dumb as a dog. Was he talking about you?”


    Jasper thought that even if it had been that apparent, he did not need to point it out.


    Xavier finally realized what he had blurted out when he saw Jasper’s grim expression. His face turned


    pale in an instant, and he timidly retreated to the corner of the wall.
