"Were you peeping again?" Jasper questioned.


    Alyssa pursed her lips and gripped her coffee cup. "Yeah. I didn''t want you bullied."


    "How did I do? Was I cool?" He ced a hand on her head and slid his fingers between her hair.


    She inched closer and kissed him on the cheek. "Yeah, you were incredibly cool."


    He wrapped his arm around her waist, and his hot breath tickled the tip of her nose. He said, "You


    deserve the credit for what happened today. Had you not pressured the media with KS Group''s power, I


    couldn''t have sessfully kept every single Sna City media out of the press conference.


    "Javier Beckett hated that I disrupted his ns, but he hated the humiliation more."


    After some thinking, Alyssa gently advised him, "Jasper, promise me that you won''t go against your


    dad after the Sophia Kirkman case. Alright?"


    "Why? Feeling bad for me?" He lifted her chin with a grin.


    "I''m serious."


    "Once Sophia Kirkman receives her payback, I promise not to get into trouble with Javier Beckett as


    long as he doesn''t unfairly target you and your family."


    His ringing phone interrupted their conversation. He nced at the screen. The look in his eyes


    softened, but he seemed troubled. "Lyse, it''s Grandpa. He wants to see us."

    The two of them felt worried on their way to Crescent Bay. Knowing that Newton doted on them, they


    wondered if he had summoned them to the vi because he had learned about how Jasper messed up


    Javier''s press conference. Did Javierin to Newton? Was Newton going to hold them


    responsible?


    After all, Newton wouldn''t want to see Beckett Group—his legacy—go down.


    At the thought, Alyssa had an idea. When she entered the vi, she immediately ran toward Newton


    and hugged him. "Grandpa, I missed you!"


    "Haha! Oh, my dear granddaughter! I missed you too!" It had been a while since Newton felt such joy.


    Only Jasper raised a brow at Newton''s way of addressing Alyssa. She was technically his


    granddaughterinw.


    Newton had been calling Alyssa his granddaughter in an attempt to match her and Jasper. Now that


    the two were dating, Jasper thought it was time for Newton to change his embarrassing habit.


    "Grandpa, I''ll perform a health checkup on you. Then, I''ll make your favorite corn soup. How does that


    sound?" She went on one knee in front of Newton with a bright smile.


    "Okay, make more of that soup. Ben loves it too," replied Newton as he gently patted her on the head.


    "No problem!"


    Soon after, Newton fixed a stern re on Jasper. Upon seeing that, Alyssa''s heart raced. She had tried


    her best to cheer Newton up out of fear that he might give Jasper a hard time. However, Newton still


    seemed furious at Jasper over the press conference incident.


    "I heard you messed up the press conference. Is that true?"


    "Yes, Grandpa," Jasper admitted openly without fear.


    Frowning, Newton bent over to pick up his left home slipper. Without warning, he hurled it at Jasper.


    Jasper agilely caught the flying slipper with a frown. He said, "Grandpa, let''s have a civil discussion.


    You need to take care of your health."
