"If you try toy your hand on Jasper, I''ll be the first to stop you. You might not care for him, but I do.


    Even if I''m not around..." Alyssa''s sad eyes looked at Jasper''s mother''s tombstone. "Don''t you think


    Auntie Anne would care? As the noble, high, and mighty chairman of the Beckett Group, don''t you think


    it''s distasteful to get physical in front of the deceased?"


    Alyssa had just uttered the deadliest and harshest words in the most nonchnt tone.


    The look in Javier''s eyes sank. He clenched his jaw so tightly that it was about to break open.


    "Mr. Javier, I think it''s not a great day for you to pay your respects to Auntie Anne today. We appreciate


    the gesture. I''m sure Auntie Anne feels the same way. I think it''s best if you leave." Rory and the


    bodyguards sighed in relief as Alyssa loosened her grip.


    Javier''s face was as pale as a ghost. Yet, he gritted his teeth and was unwilling to give up. "I''ve


    canceled everything today toe and see her.


    "I''ll leave after I see her for a while."


    "You wish!" Jasper suddenly pulled Alyssa behind him.


    Javier and Jasper fell into a tense confrontation again. "You were fooling around, and you even married


    Sophia when you already had my mother. Plus, you condoned that unscrupulous and vicious woman to


    mistreat my mother. If you didn''t do these things, none of this would have happened! My mother


    wouldn''t have died!"


    "You." Javier was consumed by anger. His expression darkened.


    "The worst five years of her life weren''t starving in poverty or getting really sick. It was her being a


    trophy by your side that couldn''t be seen by anyone. You took advantage of her and caused her to die!"


    "Nonsense!"


    Javier was breathing heavily from his anger. "Anne died of her depression! She couldn''t take the pain


    and took her life to relieve herself of it! Her death had nothing to do with me!"


    Relieve. Javier had actually thought Anne was relieving herself from the pain.


    Alyssa frowned deeply. She shook her head, angry and helpless.


    Until now, Javier had never understood the condition of Jasper''s mother''s heart, let alone everything


    Sophia had done.


    Perhaps he had loved Anne.


    However, his love for himself was far beyond his love for Anne.


    "My mother is not a victim who used death to get a sense of relief. She died because Sophia."


    "Jasper! Enough!"


    Alyssa grabbed Jasper''s arm and stopped him in time. Jasper, who was consumed by anger, regained


    his senses and shut his mouth.


    Rory was dumbfounded by what had happened.


    Jasper had never even respected Javier when his temper acted up. Alyssa managed to tame Jasper


    with just a word from her.


    There must have been something different about Alyssa.


    She had Jasper under her control.


    Javier was left hanging, sparking his curiosity. He asked angrily as he red at Jasper. "W-What does


    Sophia have to do with Anne''s death? Exin yourself, Jasper!"


    Alyssa thought it would disrupt their n if they continued this conversation, so she forcefully grabbed


    Jasper and left the cemetery hastily.

    Rory tentatively said, "Mr. Javier, let me prepare a new bouquet and send it to Ms. Bartley."


    "What did Jasper mean when he said that? Is he implying that... Sophia killed Anne?"


    Javier grabbed Rory by the cor and questioned him fiercely, "Did he say it out of spite, or does he


    have proof? Why did he say that?"
