Landon swallowed hard as he felt a burning passion ignite within him. He had decided what position he


    wanted to make love to his delicate wife.


    "Pervert!" Biting her red lips, Alyssa forcefully jabbed Jasper in the ribs with her elbow.


    The three of them took their seats back in the living hall.


    After a while, Lauren fell asleep watching the television. Angelina came downstairs and prepared them


    tea after settling Lauren down.


    She looked at Landon, wanting to say something, but stopped herself. She figured this wasn''t the best


    time to report to him.


    "I went back home." Landon lowered his head and drank his tea. His tone was low, and he sounded


    guilty. "Jasper, Lyse, I owe you an apology. My grandfather managed to arrange for the police to


    release Zoe."


    A cold glint instantly appeared in Jasper''s eyes when he heard that name.


    "She did something terrible, but it was not enough to convict her of it. I knew she would be released


    after being detained for half a month."


    Alyssa remained unfazed. She was calm. "However, even if Zoe were released, she would be as good


    as dead in this country—she would be shunned by society.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Her reputation has been dragged through the mud because of the negative news surrounding her. She


    can wave her dream to be the center of attention and talk of the town goodbye.


    "Even if she has the Harper family in her pocket, officials have banned her. She will never appear in


    public events, TV stations, or livestream tforms. Being a pianist waspletely out of the question.


    "Sophia and Zoe were the nastiest women in Sna City. Their bad reputation would stand for


    generations."


    "That''s not enough. It will never be enough." A fiery me swirled in Jasper''s eyes as if they would


    devour everything. He squeezed Alyssa''s hand so tightly that it hurt. "She needs to die without a body


    to make up for the damage she did to Lyse. We''re letting her off too easily with this punishment.


    "Landon, she may be your sister, but I have to say this. Even if thew lets her go, I won''t. I will never


    let her go."


    Alyssa''s heart trembled as she rested her head on Jasper''s shoulder. She felt an inexplicable sense of


    peace.


    "Jasper, I don''t think you have your chance to do so. I''ve sent her away." Landon sighed as his frown


    deepened. "My grandfather and mother still want to protect her. I fought with them.


    "But in the end, Zoe only got kicked out. I will monitor her closely and not let her enter the country


    again. Lyse, this is as much I can do for now. I want to give her a piece of my mind too, but..." "You


    don''t need to exin anymore, Landon. I know you''re caught between a rock and a hard ce." Alyssa


    smiled lightly andforted warmly, "I''m thankful enough for how much you''ve done. It''s enough. You


    don''t need to do anything else.


    "You are at a crucial season of your career. If you go overboard with how you handle Zoe, your


    annoying uncle will use it against you and make things difficult. Your grandfather will have a bias


    toward you too. Don''t underestimate these biases. They might be the death of your victory to getting


    the Harper Group.


    "Plus, besides seeing that bitch getting the justice she deserves, I am more eager to see you and


    Lauren being happy together. I want to see her marry into the Harper family gloriously. Who cares


    about the obstacles ahead of you? You are strong enough to defend and protect her."


    Alyssa was implying that he should focus on establishing his authority in the Harper Group. His future


    with Lauren would be bright with this authority in his hands.


    "Lyse, Jasper, don''t worry. Leave Lauren to me."


    Landon looked at Alyssa gratefully and considered her a good friend for her kindness and


    understanding in wishing him and Lauren happiness.


    However, he wasn''t jealous.


    Lauren was the perfect woman in his eyes.


    Jameson was in the shooting range practicing his gun skills when Carl hastily ran to him to report to


    him.


    He was wearing a spotless white shirt and straight ck suit pants. ck leather cuffs were clipped to


    his arms, restricting his bulging biceps.


    Beneath his gold-rimmed sses, his gaze was as sharp as a knife. He held the gun with precision,


    aiming and firing three shots at the target 100 yards away.


    "Bang, bang, bang!"


    Carl covered his ears as he admired his boss.
