"Jasper, you''re really vile!" Jameson clenched his teeth. His bloody lips were quivering.


    "Vile? I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine."


    Jasper narrowed his eyes. "Jameson, everyone knows how to y dirty tricks and stab someone else


    from the back. I just don''t think that it''s worth my effort to attack you like that. I don''t wish to be a


    vicious viper just like you.


    "However, my condition is that you are not to touch Lyse or her loved ones. Otherwise, I will not hold


    back in the future. I will hit you 100 times harder than I did today. I will get my revenge on you."


    Jasper didn''t wait for Jameson to respond. Upon saying that, he turned around elegantly and waltzed


    away.


    "Mr. Schmidt! I... I''ll call for backup immediately! We have to avenge you!" Carl had never seen


    Jameson being humiliated like that. He was so mad that he was about to cry.


    Jameson was trembling all over. He spat on the ground.


    Something fell onto the ground—a tooth! His left front tooth had fallen out! Jasper had indeed been


    ruthless with his punch.


    "Even if you were to call ten fighters here, they won''t be able to beat him."


    Jameson mustered all his energy to get back to his feet. Suddenly, he lifted the corner of his lip into a


    sly smile. He looked terrifying. It was as if he had just crawled out from the abyss.


    "There''s no rush. No matter how great one might think they are, there will always be someone better


    out there. Even if he doesn''t end up being crushed by me, someone else will bring him to his demise!"


    By the time Jasper returned to Alyssa''s side, Winston was already looking much better. She was


    feeding him some cut apples.


    Jasper walked into the room with an air of bleakness around him. His breathing was unstable.


    Alyssa smiled. She teased, "What took you so long? Did you drop your phone into the toilet bowl?"


    Jasper replied in a warm voice, "I''m sorry, Lyse. I had some urgent matters to attend to. That''s why it


    took me a while."


    "Ms. Alyssa, let me." Neil was quick-witted. He could tell that Jasper and Alyssa had something to talk


    about. So, he reached out to take the te from Alyssa''s hands.


    However, Winston turned out to be the senseless one. He gave Neil a sidelong nce.


    He mumbled, "Look at you. My daughter was being attentive to me. Couldn''t you just let me enjoy that


    moment a little longer? You don''t have to show off how hardworking you are!"


    Neilughed awkwardly. He looked at Winston as if he was a child.


    Alyssa and Jasper broke out inughter, too. The cloud of gloominess from earlier because of Jameson


    had also dispersed.


    Jasper and Alyssa entered the annex in the office.


    There was a slight emotional tension in the air.


    Alyssa moved closer to Jasper. He was still breathing heavily. She pressed her breasts against his


    chest.


    Then, she lifted her foot, pressing her knee against his slender leg.


    Her eyes glistened with assertiveness.


    Jasper''s throat felt dry. His Adam''s apple bobbed. He ced his hand on her lower back. "Lyse, your


    father is just on the other side of the wall. You''re not thinking about..."


    "What''s with you and your dirty mind?" Alyssa whispered as she flicked him on the head.


    "I was never like thisst time."


    Jasper moved his hand upward, all the way to the nape of her neck. He massaged her gently and


    continued, "But I just can''t help myself the moment we touch. It''s like I''m addicted to you."


    He now knew how to flirt shamelessly.


    Alyssa blushed as her heart raced. She punched him gently on his chest.


    "I wanted to ask you—where were you just now?"


    Jasper bit his lower lip. He didn''t answer.


    "You''re still trying to catch your breath now. Was that phone call such a tiring one to make?"

    Alyssa narrowed her eyes. With her finger, she traced circles on the bottom of his chin. "Did you really


    go and make a phone call? Or had you actually gone to beat up an animal?"


    "You''re a smart one. I truly can''t hide anything from you." Jasper had a submissive look in his eyes. He


    nted a kiss on the corner of her lips.


    "I know that you were mad too. But we don''t have to rush into taking our revenge."


    She held his hand. His knuckles were red. She held onto his hand tightly. "I''m more fearful of you


    getting hurt because of that viper. That would not be worth it."
