The familiar voice cut through Jasper’s heart like a de.


    Alyssa suddenly came back to her senses and tore away from Jasper’s grip, as if she’d been caught


    doing something inappropriate. She shoved Jasper away, making the man stumble backward.


    “What are you


    you doing here, Mr. Jameson?” Alyssa asked curtly, unable to mask the shock in her eyes.


    Jameson bristled with killing intent, shaking just the slightest against the dark background. He shot


    Jasper a menacing re, pushing at his sses, It disappeared just as swiftly as it came, though not


    before Jasper picked up on it.


    In response, Jasper stirred up the deadliest energy he could muster, nearly snarling at Jameson. He


    was


    never one to lose when it came to this, especially not now when he stood before the woman he loved.


    Alyssa noticed Jasper’s gaze. It looked like he was ready to tear Jameson limb by limb.

    Alyssa was perplexed by the animosity disyed. Was it all because Jameson stopped him from taking


    advantage of her?


    How shameless!


    “Are you okay, Lyse?” Jameson went over to Alyssa’s side, asking kindly, ‘Do you need any help?”


    “No, I’m fine.” Alyssa smiled, making Jasper tremble with envy.


    It had been ages since Alyssa smiled at him like that. Yet now it was directed at Jameson Schmidt!


    “You don’t look fine.” Jameson stood close by her side, exuding a protective, authoritative presence. He


    then nced at Jasper. “Do you need me to do something about him?”


    Jameson was behaving as if he was dating Alyssa!


    Jasper’s eyes!


    red with fury as he clenched his hands into fists. If Alyssa weren’t here, Jasper would have struck him


    by now.


    “No need. His legs are still functioning, so he can leave on his own.” Alyssa didn’t once look at Jasper


    when she spoke.


    “Then… Can youe with me, Lyse?” Jameson asked.


    Alyssa’s eyes widened in surprise.


    Unable to stifle his rage any longer, Jasper hissed, “Do you have any idea what you’re asking,


    Jameson


    “I do. However, I’m afraid some people have no idea what they’re doing.” Jameson stood in front of


    Alyssa. “Can’t you see how much she hates you? You’re no longer married. I can call the cops on you


    right now for harassment, Mr. Beckett.”


    “That’s enough,” Alyssa quipped, not wanting things to escte. She said tly to Jasper, “Hurry up


    and


    leave.”


    “Lysel


    “I said, leave!” Alyssa yelled, finally showing her anger. “I don’t want to see you, Jasper!”


    Jasper flinched. His mouth suddenly filled with blood. He held back from spitting it out, however.


    Beside them, Jameson’s lips curled into a sneer.
