Alyssa eximed, “What?”


    Alyssa abruptly stood up from her chair, staring at Ss in disbelief. “Illegitimate daughter? The


    Emerson


    family’s illegitimate daughter?


    “So it’s understandable that she hid her background from you.”


    Looking at Rose’s background check, Ss felt uneasy for some reason.


    Compared to those who openly expressed their sadness and misfortune, he felt more sympathetic


    toward Rose, who kept everything inside.


    “Rose is such a fool.” Alyssa felt as though her heart was cut with a knife, making it hard for her to


    breathe.


    “The two foreign men Rose drank withst night are high-level executives from a foreign construction


    “Considering Rose’s conversation with her fatherst night, it seems like the Emerson family arranged


    everything.”


    “This is outrageous! Did they actually make their own daughter drink with clients for business? George,


    that heartless scum, is he out of his mind?”


    Alyssa mmed the table, making coffee ssh everywhere. At the same time, her eyes revealed a


    murderous intent.


    “Ss, I’ll handle this matter. Promise me one thing. Take good care of Rose these days until she


    recovers.


    Ss hesitated for a moment, not answering immediately.


    “Can you do that?” Alyssa red at him.


    “Okay. I can’t say no, can I? Of course I can,” Ss agreed repeatedly.


    “What? Now that you know Rose is an illegitimate daughter, do you look down on her?”


    “Are you scolding me? Am I such a shallow person?” Ss blushed, a bit flustered.


    At this moment, Jonah calied Alyssa.


    “Lyse, Jasper will attend a business cocktail party tonight. You can meet him there.”


    “Got it,” Alyssa replied casually.


    “Lyse, you can actually arrange a private meeting with him.”


    After a pause, Jonah spoke earnestly, “Even if you can’t be husband and wife, or even friends, you


    don’t


    have to avoid each other forever.”


    “Just a meeting during the reception is enough. I don’t want to meet him privately.”


    Alyssa didn’t know why, but she was quite afraid to see Jasper. She lowered her voice and said,


    “Jonah, I


    actually want to let Julien meet Jasper.


    “If possible, move up the treatment schedule. Once he fully recovers, we can cut off all tiespletely.”


    When Ss returned to the ward, Rose was standing by the window, talking on the phone with her back


    to


    him.


    “I’ve done enough for the Emerson family over the years. What more do you want from me? Do you


    want.


    me to sell my blood or my body?”


    Rose forcefully suppressed the trembling anger in her voice. Beads of sweat were dripping down her


    face.


    Suddenly, her palm was empty.


    Ss took advantage of her distraction and pulled out her phone, pressing it to his ear.


    Rose raised her tear-stained face in astonishment, looking at his profile. His handsome features and


    firm righteousness inexplicably gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

    “Hello.” Ss’ gaze was cold.


    “Who… Who are you?” George asked in surprise.


    “With your status, you’re not even worthy to know who I am.”


    Ss sneered. “But let me remind you of one thing. What you’re doing now has crossed legal


    boundaries and vited a woman’s will. I can sue you at any time.”


    “Sue me? Haha! Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am?” George was both angry and


    amused.


    He thought this was some inexperienced youngster or Rose’s boyfriend who got upset and tried to


    stand. up for her. So, he didn’t take Ss seriously.
