After a brief pause, Jonah lowered his voice and cautioned, “You know, Jameson Schmidt is even more


    calcting then we initially thought. What we’ve uncovered so far is just the tip of the iceberg.


    Consider this: he returned from Kontina after a 15-year absence and suddenly became close to you.


    You’re a Taylor, and we’re entrusting KS Group to you.


    “You’re a princess, a queen. Ifyou were more high-profile, you would have been the most eligible


    bachelorette in Cyrris.


    “I can’t shake the feeling that Jameson might have ulterior motives-I don’t trust him.”


    He furrowed his brow and continued, “I know this might sound harsh, but, to me, Jameson is even


    worse


    than Jasper.”


    “Jonah!” Alyssa eximed, gripping her cup tightly as her heart raced.


    Jonah remarked, “At least Jasper is honest with the woman he loves.”


    Alyssa tightened her grip, her eyes welling up with tears. She retorted, “You’re right. He was so


    devoted to Liana Gardner that he enlisted in the military and went to war after she broke up with him!”


    “But isn’t it true that he risked his life for you? He’s still dealing with the repercussions of those old


    injuries. I’m concerned there might be long-term effects.”


    Alyssa grew more and more anxious. Her eyes darkened. She refuted, “That’s a different thing


    altogether.”


    “Lyse, you weren’t blind when you fell for him. He was brutally honest about the fact that he didn’t love


    you,” Jonah exined with a sigh.


    He leaned forward and grasped her cold hand. “At the very least, Jasper has never lied to you. I don’t


    care about other ws, but your partner shouldn’t be dishonest with you.”


    Her eyes wavered, and she hung her head silently.


    After bidding farewell to the Taylors, Alyssa and Sean returned to Sna City. As they neared the


    freeway, Alyssa suddenly suggested, “Let’s make a detour to Seaview Manor.”


    Sean wore a slight frown but, agreed. “Sure.”


    Upon their arrival at the manor, Alyssa decided to call Rosie instead of Jasper.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Rosie answered with concern, “Madam, I won’t lie to you. Mr. Beckett hasn’t been home for a few days.


    I’ve tried calling him, but he seldom picks up. He sounds weak yet insists everything is fine when I ask.


    Alyssa’s chest tightened as if something had mped down on it.


    Rosie went on, “I knew him well because I raised him. He’s the type who doesn’t like to worry others.


    He always keeps to himself when he’s sick or in trouble, and he refuses to tell me, no matter how many


    times


    I ask.


    *Madam, can you get in touch with him? I’m so worried for him!” Rosie sounded like she was about to


    cry.


    “Mrs. Rosie, don’t panic. I’ll find him,” Alyssa gentlyforted her. Even if Jasper refused to meet


    everyone, she believed he would never turn her down.


    Following the call, Alyssa pondered and decided to contact Xavier. She began, “Hello, Mr. Hall.”


    “M-Ms. Alyssa! Good evening. Xavier replied with a hint of panic in his voice, a stark contrast from his


    usual warm demeanor. She was sure that he had something to hide.


    “Where’s Mr. Beckett? He’s not at home, so where did he go?” Alyssa impatiently interrogated Xavier


    with


    a frown.


    “M-Mr. Beckett is on a business trip,” Xavier exined.


    “Xavier Hall, if you lie to me, there will be consequences,” Alyssa warned him in an intimidating tone.


    “Madam, I’ll tell you everything, even if Mr. Beckett fires me for it,” Xavier finally confessed with a teary


    voice.


    “Please check on him now. He’s in a poor state. I fear something terrible might happen to him!”
