Chapter 972


    “How shameless of you to speak about Alyssa as her ex-mother-in-w!” Jasper finally stepped forward


    without hesitation and mocked Sophia, “You’re Dad’s second wife, and I’m not your son. You do not


    have the right to im you were Lyse’s mother-inw.


    “Still, Lyse respected you and tried her best to fulfill your unreasonable demands when she was


    married to me. She endured you and Betty’s bullying. Why did you skip that part?”

    Alyssa felt a lump in her throat and wiggled her finger as she was reminded of the bitter past. Jasper


    did not need to look at her to empathize. He gripped her hand firmly and dered, “Lyse married me


    because she loved me. Is love a sin?


    “I was the one to me for the divorce. I did not see through Liana’s true colors and continued flirting


    with her after I was married. I


    unknowingly hurt Alyssa, not realizing that all the while, she was the one I loved.”


    The cameras shed again in a frenzy to capture Jasper’s act of protecting his ex-wife and his


    confession about his extramarital affair.


    Sophia’s expression crumbled. Betty stared agape at Jasper’s explosive statement. They never


    expected him to give up everything- his status and reputation-for Alyssa.


    They underestimated his feelings for Alyssa. He’d rather sacrifice himself to protect Alyssa. He would


    rather suffer a blow in his reputation to uphold her innocence.


    Trembling, Alyssa watched as Jasper stood firmly in front of her. She choked on her tears, touched by


    his empathy, which meant more to her than his deration of “I love you”.


    Jasper scanned Sophia and Betty’s faces before turning to the crowd. “I will make this clear for thest


    time-I was the one at fault in our divorce. Alyssa was not to be med. I will take legal action against


    any media who wrote a single article demeaning her. Those who start rumors will pay a huge price for


    doing so.”


    His words came as a huge shock. Shuddering, Sophia and Betty stumbled backward and gave up on


    confronting Alyssa.


    Cyrus, admiring Jasper’s courage, pped his hands with respect.” That was cool.”


    Jonah and Ss nodded in approval. Axel, who hid in a corner, smiled with satisfaction as he ced a


    cigarette between his lips, mumbling, “Not bad. You act more like my brother-inw now.”


    A reporter suddenly came forward and questioned loudly, “Mr. Beckett, why do you frequently meet up


    with Ms. Alyssa if you’re divorced? I have been following your updates. Whenever Ms. Alyssa gets into


    trouble, you will show up to help. Are you nice to her because she was your ex-wife, or do you still have


    feelings for her?”


    The other reporters chimed in, “Mr. Beckett, what is your current rtionship with Ms. Alyssa?”


    Feeling helpless in the onught of questions, Alyssa heard Jasper reply, “She was my ex-wife. Now,


    I’m her man.”


    While speaking, he looked at her. They both teared up when their eyes met.
