Jasper took a seat by Alyssa''s side and ced the desserts in front of her.


    She greeted Xavier, "Xavier, it''s hot out there! Here, have some water and desserts before we discuss."


    She then pushed the tter of desserts to Xavier.


    "Thank you, Madam Alyssa! You care for me!" Xavier looked touched by her concern.


    Envious, Jasper shot Xavier a look and snapped, "Hurry up. Let''s get down to business soon."


    Xavier gobbled up a piece of cake and dabbed his lips with a hanky. Sitting upright, he reported, "I


    informed Mr. Galini about Sean Lynch''s arrest per your orders. I''ve even submitted a detailed report to


    him.


    "This morning, Gabe Barrett has been suspended from his duty due to abuse of power. The authorities


    have taken him away for investigation.


    "Hmph! He''s surely losing his job because of all the illegal deals he''s involved in. The Schmidts will


    lose one of theirckeys."


    "Okay." Jasper nodded calmly.


    People like Gabe, who were tasked to clean up the mess of the Schmidt Family, were everywhere.

    Getting them arrested was a piece of cake.


    Alyssa widened her eyes in shock. "You did that? When?"


    This was not Jasper''s first brilliant maneuver. He had always made a move behind her back to ambush


    his enemy.


    "I was at work after midnight—after you went to sleep."


    Blinking, she grabbed his arm, feeling moved by his help. "You could have waited until we woke up."


    "You were stressed out because of Josh Schmidt and Gabe Barrett. I lost sleep because of it—I


    couldn''t sit back any longer." He gently caressed her hand.


    Noticing his dark eye circles, she felt sorry for him. "You have headaches, remember? You need


    enough sleep for your health. Are you still going to sacrifice your health and upset me?"


    "I just wanted to do my best for you and the people around you."


    As Alyssa remained unhappy, he had to coax her. "It''s all my fault. I''ll listen to you the next time."


    Xavier interjected, "By the way, the Schmidts have taken over the project and reached out to the


    Tsulian authorities. Hah! They must be in urgent need for the project."


    "Sigh... That''s a windfall for Josh Schmidt." Alyssa rolled her fist indignantly. "He''s been on Victor''s


    wrong side and losing to Jameson because of David and Daisy''s problems. Landing a huge project


    must be a relief for him."


    Jasper grinned. "Sometimes, all that glitters is not gold. It might be a problem."


    She lifted her brow in curiosity. "Hm. What do you mean by that?"


    "Mr. Beckett spotted a fatal w in the Tsulu resort project that Mr. Jonah bagged. He had advised Mr.


    Jonah to let go of the project as soon as possible," Xavier blurted out eagerly.


    Shocked, Alyssa questioned, "Jonah isn''t a loser like Josh. He would have noticed any issues from the


    start. How did he miss that problem?"


    "Thend auction process in Tsulu is unregted, unlike in Cyrris." Jasper decided to share everything


    with her, "The resort project is strategically located, but transportation will be a major issue.


    "To reach that area, we''ll have to pass through a small vige less than a mile away. The vige is


    home to around ten families.


    "That vige will pose a huge problem for the developer if they ever decide to expand the resort. They''ll


    even run into trouble just to repair the main road.


    "All these potential issues weren''t marked out in thend use n because the local government was


    too eager to attract foreign investment."


    Alyssa fumed upon learning that. "How could they? Isn''t that a scam led by the authorities?"
