The crowd dispersed. After all, they felt a little awkward watching a couple being lovey-dovey with one


    another.


    Jasper and Alyssa pulled away from each other slowly. He couldn’t take his eyes off her and continued


    looking at her amorously.


    “That… That was overboard.”


    She already had her face mask on. Adding such a long kiss on top of that made her gasp hard for air.


    She looked at him resentfully and added, “Who said you could kiss me?”


    “I just felt like it. I didn’t think that much,” Jasper remarked. A small, satisfied smile yed on his lips as


    he reached out to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

    “What happens if someone were to recognize us?”


    “They won’t. If they were to recognize us, they would have recognized us the moment we stepped in.”


    He wasn’t a saint. By nature, he had a possessive side to him.


    Furthermore, she was the woman whom he loved to the moon and back.


    How could he not have reacted to what others werementing about them? He wanted to show them


    who was the boss!


    Alyssa was a brilliant woman. She certainly knew what his intentions. were.


    Hence, she was suddenly inspired to be yful. She wanted to poke fun at him, so she pouted and


    asked, “What if people were to


    What do we do then?”


    Jasper’s eyes became dark, and he stared straight at her for quite a while. He then leaned in and


    whispered in her ear. Intentionally or otherwise, his lips brushed against the side of her ear in the


    process.


    “I didn’t kiss you to show them that you are mine. I wanted to dere to them that I am yours.”


    Alyssa’s heart pounded. Her cheeks had turned red behind her mask.


    She simply used her fist to give him a light punch on his chest and let the matter slide.


    Right at that moment, her cell phone rang. A mere secondter, Jasper’s phone rang, too.


    They turned their backs against each other and answered their respective calls.


    “Hello? Cyrus?”


    “Hi, Lyse. Nina’s autopsy has beenpleted. Everything has been settled ordingly. Her funeral will


    be held tomorrow,” Cyrus informed her in a low voice.


    Alyssa took a deep breath and nodded. “Got it.”


    “Other than that, Jonah and Ss have given their kind advice. They will house her grandmother at our


    nursing home in Belbanks. She was the one who chose to go there.


    “It is understandable that she doesn’t want to stay at Sna City since Nina had passed away there.


    Plus, Belbanks is right by the sea. Its weather conditions should be better than Sna City’s. Looking


    after her when she’s on our turf would also be more convenient.”


    “Yeah, I agree it will be better for her to be at Belbanks. I appreciate it.


    She continued, “I will attend Nina’s funeral first thing tomorrow. But, I hope that her funeral can be held


    on the down-low. Take care not to alert the media lest we shock her grandmother.”


    “I know. On my side, the police force haspletely sealed this case. Jonah has also considered from


    all sides and used KS Group’s influence to suppress the news.


    “Lyse, you don’t have to worry. We will make sure that you don’t have anything to worry about.”


    As for Jasper, his eardrums almost burst from Landon’s roaring voice when he answered the call.


    Jasper! We have news on the whereabouts of that son of a bitch, Brad! He has stowed away and


    entered Tsulu justst night!”


    “Make sure you keep your eyes on him. Don’t lose sight of him!” Jasper reminded him.


    He felt his chest tighten. He quickly lowered his voice and asked, How about the police? Have they


    arrived at Tsulu?”


    “Not yet. But my men are there!”


    “Alright. Come with me to Tsulu tomorrow, then!” Jasper’s eyes turned bloodshot as they zed with


    the fire of rage.


    “Huh? That’s so sudden!” Landon eximed in surprise.


    “If you cannot bear to leave Lauren, just connect me with someone. I will go over myself.”


    “No, that’s not it. If you want to go there, I will apany you. The one thing that I regret the most in


    my life is not bearing arms with you back then! Oh, no, there’s one more thing. I also regret letting that


    bimbo, Zoe, return from Yoarkley!”


    Landon’s head throbbed at the thought of Zoe. He couldn’t help but p his thigh, consumed by a


    deep-seated feeling of hatred for her.
