“Jasper! You jerk! Don’t touch me! Put me down!”

    Alyssa’s face instantly turned red as she twisted her waist, her legs restlessly kicking up and down.


    The hand that initially clutched Jasper’s shirt became a fist, pounding vigorously on his chest.


    Even though her hand was sore from the pounding, for him, it was like being tickled. He was even


    enjoying it.


    “I told you to listen to me, but you didn’t. If you don’t listen, I can only carry you.”


    The gaze Jasper directed at Alyssa carried profound affection. Despite his cold gaze, there was a


    hidden warmth in his eyes as they looked at her. He found himself unable to rein in his emotions.


    After all, could it truly be deemed love if it were within one’s control?


    “Why should I listen to you? Who are you? I won’t listen! I just won’t!” Alyssa’s face turned redder from


    the


    anger, and she struggled even harder.


    “If you don’t stay still, I’ll kiss you.” Jasper swallowed hard and squinted his eyes.


    “You beast!” She shrank her whole body, anxiously biting her lower lip.


    Just then, he smirked and mischievously let go of his hand suddenly.


    Alyssa abruptly cried out and closed her eyes. Sweating in fear, she directly wrapped her arms around


    Jasper’s neck.


    His expression remained cold, but his gaze softened a little.


    Jasper carried Alyssa upstairs, leaving the group of people behind.


    As such, the Harpers were left in an awkward position. But now that they were there, leaving without


    finalizing the marriage would be more embarrassing.


    “Dad, what should we do now?” Penelope anxiously whispered to Cornelius.


    “Jasper’s stance is clear. He doesn’t want to ept Zoe, and he doesn’t even want to discuss the


    marriage with us.”


    “Grandpa, are you just going to watch me be bullied? I’m your granddaughter!” Zoe cried, sounding


    pitiful.


    If Cornelius weren’t someone with a bit of stature, an ordinary old man would probably have exploded


    in a


    string of expletives.


    Nevertheless, he couldn’t endure it any longer.


    “Mr. Javier, is this how you’re going to handle this matter? Your son has almost ruined Zoe, but he’s still


    pestering his ex-wife right in front of us. Do you believe you can toy with my family?”


    Cornelius angrily picked up a teacup from the coffee table and hurled it to the ground.


    The Harpers’ bodyguards rushed forward as if the cup smashing was a signal.


    This frightened Sophia so much that the color was drained from her face. Instantly, she hid behind


    Javier.


    The Harper family rose from the underworld, and everyone in Sna City knew about it.


    With the bodyguards, they looked like they were about to sh with the Beckett family.


    “Mr. Cornelius, what are you doing?” Javier’s eyes burned with intensity. “Our family isn’t one to be


    trifled


    with either!”


    “Hmph, rest assured, this is a society governed byw. I’m tired of the days when people kill at every


    turn.”


    Cornelius’s eyes slowly darkened as he continued, “I just want to tell you that I’m very angry at what


    Jasper did tonight. When my anger res, who knows what consequences it might bring?”


    Upon hearing that, Javier clenched his fists, barely able to control his anger.


    Wasn’t that a tant threat?
