Jasper''s hand that was tidying Alyssa''s hair paused. He looked at the phone screen too.


    "Alyssa, do you know this number?"


    "No."


    "Are you going to answer it?" Jasper frowned slightly.


    Alyssa had never answered any unknown calls. She rarely received them either.


    This time, however, her heart was beating faintly with expectancy. It felt like if she didn''t answer the


    call, she would miss the opportunity of gaining millions.


    "Hello," Alyssa answered with a gentle tone.


    "H-Hello."


    A timid, soft, and gentle voice of a girl came through the phone. The voice reminded her of her sister.


    Alyssa and Jasper looked at each other. She immediately ced the call on speakerphone and


    recorded it. "M-May I know who this is?"

    "I-Is this Ms. Alyssa Taylor?" the girl asked softly.


    "Yes, this is she."


    "It''s me, Maggie."


    Both of them felt their bodies tensed, especially Alyssa. Her heart was beating like a drum. Her fingers


    quivered, and her palms were damp with sweat.


    Jasper stared deeply at Alyssa. He held his breath, took her delicate hand, and ced it on his chest,


    giving her a sense of peace no one else could.


    "Maggie, you finally called me." Alyssa''s voice was gentle and inviting. She didn''t address Maggie as


    "Ms. Madison" to draw closer to her. "I''ve been waiting for your call every day, and it has finallye."


    Jasper narrowed his eyes as he stared at Alyssa. He couldn''t believe the unconceble excitement in


    her.


    She said she had been waiting for Maggie''s call. This would mean she had a chance to meet Maggie


    and talk to her before. Otherwise, how was that possible?


    However, when did they connect? Jasper never noticed.


    "You were waiting for me. every day?"


    Maggie paused and said weakly, "Ms. Alyssa. If I didn''t contact you...


    "I would still be willing to wait. It''s your choice whether to call. However, it''s mine whether to wait."


    Alyssa''s eyes were glistening. Every word she said wasced with determination.


    There was a long pause on the other side.


    However, Alyssa gave Maggie her absolute patience. Maggie didn''t say a word, so she was waiting


    silently.


    Sometimes, Jasper was in awe of the way Alyssa could hold herself together. To get what she wanted,


    she was willing to sacrifice herself, suffer humiliation, and act sparingly. She had never felt like she was


    above everyone else and showed her wealth off because of her prestige.


    He only had this level of perseverance with her. He could never be as patient as her with everyone


    else.


    "Ms. Alyssa, I called to tell you that I am willing to be a witness to use David of taking advantage of


    me," Maggie croaked. She spoke with a trembling voice, her wordsced with hatred, gritting her teeth


    with each utterance.


    Jasper was taken aback, his eyes quivering in shock. His heart raced even faster, and his jaw tensed


    with the intensity of the moment.


    At this moment, a strong surge of emotions overwhelmed Alyssa. She tried hard to suppress the urge


    to tear as her lips trembled. She said gently, "Great, as long as you are willing. Mr. Beckett, from the


    Beckett Group, and I... We have your back."


    Jasper''s heart suffered a significant blow, alternating between contraction and release.


    It was difficult for him to open his heart to others after his childhood spent in poverty and his family


    broken. It was hard to show the same empathy to people other than his loved ones.


    Yet, at this moment, his heart trembled violently with bitterness and ache. Was he experiencing


    empathy for Maggie?


    "My mother is keeping a strict eye on me. She will follow me wherever I go, and I have no personal


    space. However, I can slip out to find you when my mother is asleep at night."
