It was public knowledge that Javier and Jasper did not get along, but it was the first time anyone had


    witnessed an open argument between them.


    Jasper might be a ruthless man, but his record-setting aplishments and swift business expansion


    during his tenure as president had earned recognition from his subordinates.


    However, Javier’s veiled threat to oust Jasper for Sophia tainted his image, painting him as a corrupted


    figure.


    Jasper would have been enraged at Javier’s threat in the past, but he felt different now. His priority was


    Alyssa’s well-being, not his father’s.


    He retorted, “I don’t care who’ll be the future president, but I am in power now, and I would like to


    remove Sophia Kirkman. What can you do about that?”


    With that, he briskly exited the meeting room, leaving behind the astonished attendees and an


    incensed Javier.


    The night had fallen when Jasper left the office. Slouching wearily in the back of his car, he enjoyed


    some shut-eye.


    “Mr. Beckett, you were so cool back there, standing up to Mr. Javier!” Xavier eximed, brimming with


    excitement.


    “Well, ites with a cost,” Jasper responded, wearing a wry smile.


    “Who cares as long as you look cool! Speaking of Justin, he looks too frail to be of any use. Even if


    he’s back, I bet he can’tst even a week on your hectic schedule.” Xavier appeared optimistic about


    Jasper’s future. “Besides, you’re back on good terms with Madam. You’ll have


    “Think about it. Your future wife is a Taylor, and your future father-in-w chairs KS Group. Add a few


    aplished brother-inws to the mix, and Mr. Javier won’t dare touch you. You’re good!”


    “Are you suggesting that I take advantage of Lyse’s influence?”


    Jasper inquired with a cold edge.


    Xavier froze and hurriedly rified, “No! You’d never take advantage of her, of course!”


    Jasper snorted. “Xavier, you’ll need to get checked by Dr. Lovce one day. He’s a neurologist.”


    Xavier put on an apologetic and fearful smile. Admittedly, Jasper’s personality had improved ever since


    he dated Alyssa. In the past, Jasper would threaten to fire him or tell him off. At least now, Jasper


    seemed concerned about his mental health, or at least that was what


    Xavier believed.


    After a moment of silence, Jasper noticed the suffocating feeling in his chest. He thought of all the


    hardships he endured during his time at the Beckett Group. Yet, at the end of the day, Javier treated


    him as disposable.


    “Xavier, let’s go home.” Jasper shut his eyes and took a deep breath. He said lovingly, “Gosh, I missed


    her so …”


    Alyssa was alone at home. She hummed a tune while cing a hand on her hip and stirring the soup

    Rosie had found a friend in the neighborhoodtely-a fellow maid. Alyssa granted Rosie time off to

    As Alyssa was injured on the waist, she suffered from pain, and her


    Jasper was out all day for work, she wanted to make a hot meal for him.


    Recalling her excellent culinary skills, she chuckled at her old self, who sought to win Jasper’s heart


    through delicious meals. The notion seemed so absurd in retrospect.
