Jasper responded, "I''m just curious."


    "I didn''t do much. I just disfigured her," Landon revealed.


    When Landon recalled the pitiful state Betty was in when she was tortured in the warehouse that day,


    he couldn''t


    help butugh.


    "Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why I hadn''t seen hertely. She''s probably too embarrassed to show


    her face in


    public anymore."


    Jasper nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked at Landon seriously. "During this time when you''ve


    been staying


    with Lauren, you didn''t do anything to her, did you?"


    At this question, Landon''s heart skipped a beat.


    He suddenly recalled the scene fromst night where he and Lauren were entangled in the bathroom,


    kissing as if


    they couldn''t bear to part. At once, he felt a rush of heat from his lower abdomen.


    Just as he was unsure how to answer, Xavier urgently ran over from the other end of the corridor.


    "M-Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa is here."


    Hearing that, Landon widened his eyes and looked at Jasper.


    Meanwhile, upon hearing that Alyssa was here, Jasper seemed to be in a daze and asked again,


    "Who''s here?"

    "Ms. Alyssa. Alyssa Taylor. She''s in the banquet hall right now." Xavier was ecstatic and couldn''t stop


    grinning.


    That was because he hadn''t seen his boss'' wife for quite some time.


    He didn''t know whether Jasper missed her, but Xavier missed her quite a bit.


    "Jasper, is Lyse here to see you? Damn, your patience paid off!" Landon excitedly patted Jasper on the


    shoulder.


    "Many elite figures in Sna City will be at the cocktail party tonight."


    Suppressing his emotions, Jasper said solemnly, "She might just be here to expand her socialwork.


    After all, she


    will inherit the Taylor family business."


    "My goodness. Why don''t you think positively for once? You''re really something else."


    Landon turned to Xavier and asked, "Did Lysee alone, or did shee with Jonah?"


    Xavier replied, "Neither. She came with a stranger."


    "Is it that bastard, Schmidt?" Landon thought of Jameson and couldn''t help but get angry.


    "No, it''s not him. It''s a guy who looks ... exceptionally beautiful, somewhat androgynous."


    Although Xavier only nced at Julien from a distance, thetter left a deep impression because of his


    extraordinary appearance.


    Upon hearing this, Jasper had a surge of emotions.


    It wasn''t one of Alyssa''s brothers, not Jameson, and not even someone that Xavier knew.


    He thought he hadpletely given up on Alyssa. However, whenever there was something rted to


    her, he couldn''t ignore it.
