Jasper gently held Alyssa''s chin as he kissed her on the lips, smudging her lipstick. He traced her lips


    with his, as he relished in her loveliness.


    After reveling in a passionate kiss, they parted right before mes of desire further consumed them.


    Staring at her flushed cheeks and moist lips, he smiled in satisfaction. "Your lips are lovelier than the


    roses."


    "You''re such a clingy man. Every time we meet, you will ask for a kiss or more. Can you give me a


    breather? Gosh!" She slid into his arms and poked him on the chest, her favorite move when she flirted


    with him.


    Every time she was in a low mood, she''d poke or caress his chest. The physical touch almost always


    cheered her up.


    "Well, I want to kiss you and take you. Will you allow me to? Hm?" Jasper whispered affectionately, his


    lips brushing against her earlobe.


    Shuddering slightly, she offered an answer in the form of a deep blush on her cheeks.


    They cuddled on the couch and stared at the ming roses, savoring each moment of happiness.


    "Thanks for finding out Dominic''s tax evasion. We held this over his head and forced him to return the


    50 million dors he misappropriated from thepany." She yfully scratched the bottom of his chin


    with a look of admiration. "Lady Jasper, you are indeed capable of sharing my burden. I''m pleased."


    Wrapping her arms around his neck, she flirtatiously kissed his lips. "You shall be handsomely


    rewarded tonight."


    "Thank you, Your Majesty," Jasper replied gently.


    Usually reserved and serious, he looked exceptionally obedient around Alyssa. He''d y along with


    her when she was in the mood.


    "Pfft. You do look like a boy toy at this moment." She rubbed her fingertips around his lips. "You look a


    little shameless, but I like it."


    "Now that Dominic Taylor has been sacked from KS Group and saddled with 50 million worth of debt..."


    He grasped her hand softly. "...Lyse, do we stop here?"


    "Stop?" She snorted and arched her brow. "We must hit him where it hurts. As an evil bitch, I shall not


    go easy on that loser."


    He tried to hold back augh upon hearing her remark.

    "It might appear like I spared him, but I can always stab him in the back." Snuggling against him and


    adjusting her position, she remarked, "Dominic''s two hotels are doing well this year.


    "Mr. Bates has also invested in that business. But businesses like these almost alwaysmit tax


    evasion—easily in tens of millions."


    "Do you want to deal an even greater blow at Dominic Taylor?" Jasper squinted. "That''s a walk in the


    park."


    "Yes. Only by doing so, we will send a warning to Mr. Bates. He will know which side to pick in the KS


    Group for his own good." Alyssa wagged her finger. "He won''t have a future working with Dominic


    Taylor."


    At that moment, Jasper received a call from Xavier. "Xavier, what''s up?"


    "Mr. Beckett, Victor Schmidt''s attorney visited Josh at the detention center today." Xavier delivered the


    latest news with worry. "Will there be any unweed changes? Will the Schmidt Group exploit


    loopholes to bail out that bastard?"


    "No, they won''t. There is solid evidence against Josh Schmidt, and he will never make aeback


    again." The look in Jasper''s eyes hardened. "If Victor sends his attorney to Josh, it could only mean


    he''s about to settle the score."


    Grinning knowingly, Alyssamented, "Oh, looks like the Schmidt Group will see a tilt of scales.


    Some vicious serpent hiding in the dark might start panicking because things aren''t working out for


    him."


    Victor stared at the agreement for the transfer of shares, which had been signed by Josh, in a hospital


    room in Belbanks. His expression was hard to read.


    "Mr. Victor, are you not going to visit Mr. Josh for onest time?" Corey Blunt, Victor''s secretary, asked


    hesitantly.


    Victor asked icily, "Did Josh send any message to me?" The detachment in his tone felt like he was


    talking about a stranger instead of his son.


    The Schmidts were as cold-blooded as reptiles. While they experienced a multitude of emotions just


    like anyone else, they also possessed a remarkable ability topartmentalize their feelings,


    seamlessly reverting to their power struggles as though such Machiavellian machinations were the sole


    reason that kept them going.
