Jasper’s heart sank. After multiple exchanges with Jameson, he gained a better understanding of


    Jameson’s character than Alyssa.


    Unlike Alyssa, he had no lingering sentiment for Jameson from. childhood. He knew Jameson was a


    vindictive man and a ruthless. one at that. In other words, Jameson was petty and extreme in his


    revenge.


    “A rtionship devoid of integrity is inherently meaningless,” Jonah expressed, showing his concern for


    Alyssa. “The idea of you with Jameson filled me with worry because he has no principles and would do


    anything to get his way.


    “Who knows if he’d do the same to you? Lyse, you’re my beloved sister. I cannot risk letting you date a


    problematic man.”


    Alyssa teared up at Jonah’s genuine brotherly love for her. “Jonah.


    He gently stroked her hair and turned to address Jasper, “Mr. Beckett, why didn’t you tell me it was


    Jameson Schmidt’s doing when we were on Shend Ind? If you had done so, we could have found


    a way to exploit his weakness.”


    With a long sigh, Jasper exined bitterly, “I might despise Jameson, but I cannot point a finger at him


    without solid evidence. Spection remains just that-a spection.”


    His reply stirred up some inexplicable emotions in Jonah, who developed a newfound respect for


    Jasper’s morals. This was the reason he always believed Jasper was a better man than Jameson,


    despite Jameson’s best efforts to win Alyssa over.


    Jameson might appear gentlemanly and capable on the outside, but he was rotten and evil within.


    Jasper might have his faults, but he do pincipicu.


    “Besides, Jameson is an important friend of Alyssa’s,” Jasper added. without delving further.


    Feeling pained, Alyssa wondered, “Did you keep your suspicions to yourself because you didn’t want to


    upset me?”


    “Yeah,” Jasper admitted with a bashful smile. “I might be too much of a coward. I had nned to


    investigate him after leaving Shend Ind, but I nearly lost my life there. It’s all my fault for being


    reckless.


    He acted humbly in front of Alyssa despite his esteemed status as he was scared to upset her, which


    would be a waste of his previous efforts in winning her favor.

    “You’re a fool, Jasper,” Alyssa muttered.


    Alyssa stared at her feet. Her eyes became misty, and her heart. ached. In retrospect, her arguments


    with Jasper over Jameson. seemed rather ridiculous.


    Fortunately, Jasper’s love did not waver. Any other men would have. given up on her out of anger.


    The private jet traveled back to Sna City on a smooth journey. In the silent cabin, Landon had fallen


    asleep due to fatigue.


    Alyssa and Jasper sat side-by-side, leaning against each other. He pinched her soft and warm hand,


    feeling an electric charge passing through his body.


    All of a sudden, he furrowed his brows as he noticed something odd with the joint of her pinky finger.


    He asked, “Lyse, what’s wrong with your pinky finger? Was it injured


    She held her breath and quivered in his embrace. Confused by her response, he panicked, wondering,


    “What’s the problem, Lyse?”


    Meanwhile, Alyssa contemted if she should tell him the truth. She wondered if she should tell him


    that she was that woman who fought. off the enemies with him. Should she also let him know that she


    lost functionality in a finger because she had dragged his severely injured. body back to the barracks?
