Chapter 821


    Victor eventually arranged for Jameson to take Alyssa home.


    Jasper pushed Newton’s wheelchair toward the parking lot, with Zoe trailing behind like an annoying


    tag- along.


    “How long do you n to keep following me?” Jasper suddenly stopped. He did not bother to look back


    while he asked.


    Zoe was taken by surprise. She almost collided with Jasper and stumbled awkwardly.

    “Ja-Jasper, I want to apany you in taking Grandpa home.”


    Zoe tried to look pitiful and said, “Grandpa just got discharged from the hospital. There must be a lot to


    take care of. I want to help you…”


    “Help? What can you do?” Jasper asked bluntly.


    Zoe couldn’t find any words to respond.


    “I’ve watched you grow up. I’ve seen how Mrs. Harper and your brother protect you. Your hands


    haven’t even touched a speck of dirt. What can you do?” Jasper retorted without sparing her any


    dignity.


    “Jasper, I …”


    “Think about what Grandpa needs. You know it in your heart.”


    Jasper thought of Alyssa. His heart was tightening, and he lowered his gaze.


    “If you have that intention, go back and take care of Mr. Cornelius.”


    With that, he pushed Newton away.


    Zoe stood alone, her face turning red with frustration as the wind tousled her hair.


    The driver piloted the car home, with Benjamin as the escort, while Jasper upied the back seat


    alongside his grandfather.


    The car’s interior exuded warmth, yet Newton’s cold expression rendered it akin to an ice cer.


    Jasper knew his grandfather was angry. Yet, the divorce between him and Alyssa persisted as a reality,


    and their entrenched disagreements remained unsolvable-another undeniable fact.


    Despite pouring his heart into pursuing her and risking his life, he found it impossible to earn even a


    modicum of trust from her.


    While he was unafraid of making one-sided sacrifices, the absence of trust from her troubled him


    deeply.


    Upon reaching the vi in Crescent Bay, Jasper alighted from the car and aided Ben in readying the


    wheelchair. He intended to assist Newton in settling into the wheelchair.


    “I won’t use a wheelchair. I’m not disabled. Why should I use a wheelchair?” Newton impatiently pulled


    Jasper aside and instructed Ben, “Ben, get my cane.”


    Soon, Ben brought the cane over.


    Newton took the cane, tightly pressed his lips together, and swung his arm at Jasper’s back without


    uttering a word!


    Newton’s sudden action startled Ben so much that he was left speechless.


    A resounding thud echoed as Jasper winced, feeling a dull ache spread across his back, and he


    furrowed his brow.


    “You ungrateful brat! What has gotten into you? Why are you still alive? Just die!”


    Newton was consumed by anger. Unable to contain his rage, he swung his cane at Jasper once more.


    “She is such a good girl, and you had to ruin the marriage. Why did you say those things? Why did you


    push her away? Is your brain clogged with shit?”


    In the cold moonlight, Jasper’s handsome face took on a particrly icy and lonely appearance. He


    gritted his teeth, enduring his grandfather’s harsh reprimands.


    “Are you blind? Can’t you see how much the Schmidt guy cares about Alice? Can’t you see they’re


    growing close? Can’t you see Victor wants Alice as his daughter-inw?”


    Newton barraged him with rhetorical questions, teetering on the brink of erupting into expletives.


    “Your connection with that girl from the Harper family is ambiguous. Even if you’re innocent, you should


    go all out to exin to Alice to prove your sincerity!”
