    “So what if Mr. Javier is backing him up? You’re doted on by Mr. Beckett Senior! A son has to listen to


    his father no matter what!”


    “What are you going on about father and son?” Alyssa’s voice rang out suddenly.


    Jasper quickly signaled for Xavier to be quiet. His gloomy expression switched to a warm, loving one.


    Alyssa walked toward them with some mugs of tea in her hands. What are you two going on about so


    loudly? You sound so rilea Xavier.”


    “It’s nothing important. He gets riled up just by watching stray mutts fight over a bone.” Jasper went and


    took the mugs from Alyssa’s hands. “What’s with the courtesy? Do you take me as a mere


    houseguest?”


    “I’m just worried you two might dehydrate yourselves with how much you’re chatting,” Alyssa said with

    Xavier blushed and quickly turned away.


    Alyssa’s heart pounded in her chest. She gently pushed Jasper away right as he was about to slip his

    “Cyrus called me earlier and said they’re starting the case on Jeffrey,” Alyssa said, her hands balling


    into fists.


    “Landon and I are looking for Inigo too. We have men all over the ce, whether it’s the airports,


    railways, or jetties. They have yet to find any trace of him since everything began.” Jasper wrapped his


    hand around Alyssa’s and squeezed it lightly, warming her up.


    “Looks like someone’s protecting him. With what you guys are capable of, there’s no way that bastard

    Alyssa and Jasper shared a look, knowing who exactly was protecting Inigo.


    “Inigo won’t be able to escape so long as he’s in Sna City. Being protected doesn’t matter.” Jasper’s
