Sean felt anxious upon hearing the threat. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.


    He exined, “I’m worried about Ms. Alyssa. When I was in aa, I repeatedly dreamed of the


    incident from that night. May I visit her?”


    “She’s fine now. The cut on her arm has healed. She doesn’t have any other injuries, but she needs


    time to recover emotionally. She needs to be alone for a while,” Axel replied, sighing.

    Upon being reminded of Alyssa’s injury, Jasper felt overwhelmed by bitterness. In the year after their


    divorce, she had always gotten injured and never enjoyed much peace in her life.


    He med himself for being useless. Regardless of his willingness to sacrifice everything for her, he


    had repeatedly failed to protect


    “I heard about Nina,” Sean muttered, his heart breaking at the memor of the youngdy who had taken


    a bullet for Alyssa.


    He inquired, “Has anyone tracked down that bastard yet?”


    “It’s only a matter of time. I’m monitoring Sophia and Betty’s movements. Sophia just left home tonight,


    and she’ll likely meet Jeffrey Snyder. “My men mighte back with updates soon,” Jasper informed


    Sean with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.


    He added, “Don’t worry. I want that guy dead more than anyone else. I’ve looked into his background.


    He’s imed more lives than Nina’s.


    He’s a devil.


    The only reason he hasn’t been arrested is because Sophia helped him get a new identity.”


    Axel clicked his tongue and teased Jasper, “Your stepmom is a


    Beckett Group seems more like a gang at this point.”


    Sean shook his head. “Yeah. Thatpany is a lion’s den-no, a nest of vipers!”


    Jasper was at a loss for words.


    Axel continued jeering, “I’ll have to thank Madam Sophia when I meet. her in person.”


    Jasper was perplexed. “Thank her? Why?”


    “I’ll have to thank her for not killing Lyse in the three years she lived at your ce.”


    Once again, Axel’s sharp tongue left Jasper speechless. In school, Axel had been even more reserved


    and withdrawn than him. It


    seemed Axel had hidden his true nature well.


    Alyssa’s door suddenly swung open, startling the three men. She changed into a ck pantsuit and


    didn’t have any makeup on. Yet s still radiated beauty.


    She stood there with a solemn expression, as if silently mourning Nina’s death.


    “Lyse?”


    “Ms. Alyssa!”


    Jasper’s heart raced, and his ears reddened as he gazed at Alyssa. He had wanted to call her name


    but hesitated.


    He’d had a good reason to approach her that night due to the urgency of the situation, but he didn’t


    have any justification to approach her at this moment.


    “Sean, are you okay?” Alyssa choked up when she saw Sean’s left arm.


    “I’m perfectly fine, Ms. Alyssa.” Sean had wanted to lift his arm to show he was fine, but he failed.


    He offered an awkward smile. “Don’t worry! I’ll be back to work as usual once I’ve fully recovered.”


    “When you recover, quit working as my secretary.”
