"It can''t be Josh." While Alyssa was caught in a daze, Jasper shared his analysis confidently once


    again. "I say that because he has achieved his goal. There are huge risks involved in sneaking into the


    detention center tomit a murder. It wouldn''t be necessary for him to do this.


    "He has already suffered a loss when he once acted on impulse. There''s no way that he''d make the


    same mistake."


    Jasper was just like a counselor to the queen.


    Alyssa couldn''t agree more. She nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too."


    "Although there isn''t any avable evidence, I have a strong feeling that it may have been Jameson.


    This seems like a method of his.


    "Moreover, he''s a powerful man in Kontina. He has also been making connections in Sna City in


    secret. Based on these, it would be a simple feat for him to buy someone off to get rid of David," Jasper


    continued with a serious look on his face.


    "Yes, that makes sense. There''s nothing Jameson can''t do!" Alyssa pressed her lips together tightly.


    She couldn''t agree more with Jasper.


    Jasper gave her a slight tickle on her chin. He looked at her with a proud and loving look in his eyes.


    "Now that you''ve mentioned it, I''m beginning to suspect him too. This morning, I looked into the list of


    visitors who came to visit David these few days. Jameson was the one who came to see himst!"


    Alyssa''s and Jasper''s eyes lit up upon hearing that piece of important information.


    "Cyrus, aren''t there CCTV cameras in the visitation room? Are you able to show us the footage?"


    Jasper asked instantly.


    "I can do that. But for privacy reasons, there wouldn''t be any audio. It will just be a video recording."


    "Then, we can hire a professional lip reader to interpret Jameson and David''s conversation," Alyssa


    suggested immediately.


    "I had that thought too. However, it''s a pity that the footage doesn''t show Jameson from the front. Only


    David can be seen. That said, we should be able to obtain some useful information. I''ll work on it now


    and keep you both posted!"


    After they ended the call, Alyssa remained silent and kept her eyes lowered.


    "What''s up, Lyse? Are you feeling down?"


    Jasper lifted her by her waist and sat her on hisp. He let her lean on her side against his chest. He


    caressed her back and said, "Initially, we hoped for David to receive a death sentence. I thought a


    significant amount of effort would still be required on our part for that to happen.


    "This saves us the trouble now. He has died a more horrifying death than being executed. This doesn''t


    seem like a bad thing no matter how I think about it."


    "It isn''t. It''s just that..."


    Alyssa frowned slightly out of helplessness. She continued, "What I really wanted was to send David to


    court. I wanted him to receivewful judgment in the public eye.


    "This would be how he could''ve been held ountable for the things he did to Maggie, Taty, and the

    other women. He had it too easy!" she sighed.


    Jasper''s eyes turned dark. He lowered his head to give her a peck on her earlobe.


    This vicious side of Alyssa made his heart skip a beat.


    "Lyse, you''re expecting too much from yourself. That''s why you''re disappointed when things steered off


    course a little. There are many things in this world that we can be dissatisfied with. All you need to do is


    to do your best. As for the rest."


    "Just leave it to fate?" Alyssa mumbled unhappily.


    "No, leave them to me." Jasper''s low yet gentle voice sounded right by her ear. "Or, you don''t have to


    do anything. With me here, you can entrust everything to me."


    It was as if someone had lit a small fire in Alyssa''s heart. She felt warm on the inside. She burrowed


    her head into Jasper''s chest and said, "I know that I can rely on you, but you know that I''m a worrier by


    nature. I like to get things done on my own. I''ll feel terrible if I don''t do them well."


    "I know. In fact, I''m just like you too. That''s why I have been attending to all matters at the Beckett


    Group personally. If I delegated to others, I won''t feel at ease," Jasper said in an understanding


    manner.


    "Your father is nasty! It''s so rare to find such an outstanding and responsible president like you. I can''t


    believe that he makes things difficult for you and nitpicks every single day!"


    Alyssa blurted her honest thoughts. She covered her mouth with both her hands the moment she


    realized she had run her mouth.


    Jasperughed softly. He moved her hands away and kissed her on her lips. "There''s nothing wrong


    with what you just said. Why are you panicking?"


    "But he''s still your father. It''s fine for you toment. I shouldn''t have said that."


    "I''ve mentioned before, Lyse. Javier and I are just business partners now. I don''t see him as my father


    any longer. Out of everyone in the family, Grandpa is the only one I care for."
