Jasper silentlymented. How could he possibly be responsible for what happened in Alyssa’s dream?


    Regardless, he had indeed scarred Alyssa with his poor treatment of her.


    “Why don’t you contact Mr. Jonah instead? We learned that Madam had gone home to Belbanks. I


    believe


    Mr. Jonah must know where she is,” Xavier threw out a good suggestion.


    Jasper red at him. “It’s absurd that, as president of Beckett Group, I have to call her family because I


    couldn’t locate her. What if Jonah doesn’t know either? Should I call all her brothers then? Get out of


    my


    sight.”


    “Okay. I’m leaving!” Xavier quietly left the office, knowing that Jasper was in a foul mood.


    After the door closed, Jasper dialed Jonah’s number right away. Jonah picked up and spoke with an


    emotionless tone, “Mr. Beckett, how’s your injury?”


    Jasper ignored the question and worriedly asked, “Mr. Jonah, is Lyse with you?”


    “No, she’s not. Why? Is she unreachable?”


    Jasper breathed heavily and informed Jonah, “She’s not answering. I called her a few times.”


    “Oh, that’s not unusual.”


    Jasper was taken aback by Jonah’s nonchnt attitude.


    Jonah added, “I have no idea where she went. She’s an adult. She doesn’t have to report her


    whereabouts.


    You know, she once cut off contact with her family because of you.”


    “She cut off contact because of me? Why?’ Jasper was surprised.


    Jonah quickly changed the topic after the slip of the tongue. “Why are you looking for her? Is it because


    your head hurts?”

    “No. I’m just worried about her.”


    “Don’t worry. She knows how to keep herself safe and protect her best interests. She’ll show up when


    she


    wants to talk to you. The only possibility right now is that she doesn’t want to see you.”


    Upon hearing that, Jasper felt a stabbing pain in his heart. The pain spread through his body. He


    looked


    after hanging up, and his palms grew sweaty.


    Still, he was moved by Jonah’s words just now. He shared a simr experience with Alyssa, which was


    to


    cut off contact with family for a few years.


    He couldn’t help but wonder what she had been up to during those years of no contact Why had she


    not shared the story with him before?


    After entering the racecourse, Jameson still refused to let go of Alyssa’s hand. She called him a few.


    times. “Jimmy? Jimmy? Jameson!”


    He snapped back to reality. “Huh?”


    She pursed her lips and red at him before her eyes traveled to their hands.


    Jameson sheepishly let go of her hand, saying, “Sorry, Lyse. I was nervous just now.”


    The air between them grew awkward. However, Alyssa decided to put on a serious face, refusing to act


    weird about the hand-holding, as they were both single adults, with her being a one-time divorcee it


    would be weirder if she fussed about the hand-holding


    She addressed him sternly, “Why didn’t you announce your identity to the guards? They wouldn’t have


    misunderstood you, and you wouldn’t have had to fight with them.”


    “Did you really think they’d let me in if I did that? he responded indifferently. “They’d only inform David


    about it, and I’d still be denied entry. The oue would be the same.”


    Alyssa didn’t probe further, as that would be crossing a line. As an outsider, she had no intention of


    meddling in the Schmidt siblings’ infighting.


    She asked, “Jimmy, why did you bring me here? Is it for horseriding?”


    I’ll show you a horse. I promise you’ll love it.”
