The crowd erupted into gasps of shock and awe once more.
Alyssa Taylor was Alexa?
Something imploded in Jasper’s mind, nking his thoughts out entirely. He felt like his soul had left his
body, slowly drifting out like an astronaut in space.

Alyssa was Alexa. She was the world-renowned, reclusive jewelry designer who had the world at her
feet
because of her stunning creations.
She had been making a fool out of him all this time while he tried his best to invite her onto his team,
likely enjoying her little games to no end.
Jasper snarled, anger and awe pumping through his veins. “You… You lied to me again… You fucking
lied
to me again!”
Why did she always hide her true self from him?
During the three years of marriage, all she did was reduce herself to a meek, quiet little woman who
acted like some maid in the house. Why degrade herself like this?
Was this some other ploy to rub his ignorance in his face?
Jasper ground his teeth together, heart hurting in his chest. He sped the area with one hand,
wincing.
He wondered if Alyssa was having fun tormenting him..
“How do you expect me to love you when you’ve never once been yourself around me?” Jasper
muttered
under his breath.
“Alexa? Ms. Alyssa Taylor is THE Alexa?”

“This isn’t just an act, is it?”
“You can fake a ne, but you can’t fake an entire human, man! Sliva is right here in front of us!”
Several celebrities had abandoned their etiquette and began taking photos or recording videos with
their mobile devices. They couldn’t let go of such a fine opportunity to record history as it happened!
Jameson quietly watched on as Alyssa was beamed by the spotlight once again. He had a fond,
endearing smile on his face.
No woman had ever been such an exciting, intriguing presence in his life as Alyssa was. Her existence
The crowd was getting out of hand. A wall of people had surrounded Alyssa and was slowly closing in
on
her.
Jameson frowned. If this went on, she might be in serious trouble.
Before he could get up, however, Jasper had run past him to Alyssa’s aid, shoving away several guests
to
stand protectively beside her.
Jameson flexed his hands, irritated. If only he could eradicate Jasper from her life there and then.
Alyssa was surprised to see Jaspering to her defense, acting like a human shield for her against
everyone else.
“What do you think you’re doing?” she asked, scowling.
With his back to her, he muttered, “I’m worried you might get hurt. Too many people here.”
“Tsk. Sean and our security team are ready to jump out at my beck and call. We don’t need your false
kindness,” Alyssa sneered, thinking Jasper was some selfish, lying prude ying vignte.
“You lied to me again, Alyssa,” Jasper spoke up in a tone only they could hear. “Do you have nothing to
say to that?”
Alyssa grinned. “It’s terrible, isn’t it? Don’t worry. You’ll get used to it.”
Jasper crinkled his nose, fuming angrily but having nothing to say.
Sean soon led several security guards to protect Alyssa, keeping the crowd away.
“Y-You’re Alexa? I can’t… I can’t believe it, I-” Ada slowly made her way up to Alyssa, tears in her eyes
as she stumbled over her words.
“It was never my intention to hide my identity from you. I just never wanted to get involved in any media
or special circles because of what I’m passionate about.
“I create these beautiful pieces all for my own enjoyment, nothing more,” Alyssa spoke to Ada, her tone
as warm and sincere as ever.
Alyssa added, “I’m very honored to have been on the receiving end of your admiration and respect,
however,
What gracefulness!
What elegance!
“I’m so sorry, Ms. Alyssa. No, Ms. Alexa. Please forgive me for my behavior before,” Ada pleaded,
feeling. unbelievably guilty about how rude and proud she had been toward Alyssa. She really was a
fool.
“I may be Alexa, but I’m also KS World Hotel’s general manager. I remain at fault for breaching the
terms
of our contract, so please. You have no reason to apologize.”
Alyssa was like a mousetrap right now, Sophia and Betty being the mice in question.
They were seconds away from being caught.
Sliva dered, “Lacrima Dei is a less well-known piece belonging to Ms. Alexa’s private collection. It
has
rarely been exhibited to the public, nor would anyone else in the world have it besides Ms. Alexa
herself.”
Sliva turned her sharp, usatory gaze to Betty. “Hence, I hold without a doubt that the ne Ms.
Betty Beckett gave Madam Ada is a counterfeit.
“This is an act of absolute disrespect toward Ms. Alexa, putting her good name and reputation at risk.
Ms.
Alexa has even purchased insurance for every single piece of jewelry she’s ever crafted. I am sure Ms.
Betty is aware of the legal consequences of her actions now that it hase to this.”
