Chapter 1015
Alyssa and Axel were rendered speechless.
Jonah’s tone suggested he was upset.
Was he standing up for Julien?
Landon was Cornelius’ eldest grandchild. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He never had to answer to anyone.
However, even he, who wasn’t sensitive to these things, could sense the trace of anger in Jonah’s cold gaze.
He let out an awkward laugh. “I-I-I’m just asking. I’m sure Mr. Jonah invited a miracle doctor. I worried for nothing.”
“Mr. Landon, Dr. Lovelace is a better doctor than me. Don’t worry. The operation is in good hands.”
Alyssa choked slightly as she said it. Her eyes reddened. “Once Jasper gets over this, I still have to rely on Dr. Lovelace for his
care.
“He is an expert in neurology. He should know what to do with Jasper’s physical complications.”
Upon reaching the end of her statement, her tone softened, and her eyes betrayed a sense of guilt.
Landon’s breath quickened.
He was careless with words, so he didn’t dare to comfort her. He was worried he would upset her by saying all the wrong things,
consequently making things worse.
“Damn it! That bastard, Jeffrey, is the cause of all this!”
Landon, his eyes ablaze, rolled up his sleeves. His arms displayed

Jeffrey winced in pain. He couldn’t scream no matter how hard he tried. He could only twitch in pain. It was better to be dead at
this point.
“You better behave yourself.”
Axel kept his dagger. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. Then, he took a cigarette out and flicked it with his fingertips. His
mouth caught the cigarette.
Axel continued, “Or else, you can trust that I have a hundred ways to handle you before you even think about leaving this car.
Torture is my kind of game.”
Jeffrey shuddered. He was so terrified that he had forgotten the pain.
To him, Axel was the most terrifying man that ever walked the earth. He was the devil disguised as a man, charming and
arrogant.
Throughout the journey, he observed Axel extracting either an unidentified object or a secret weapon. It felt like a magic trick.
He was curious to know if Axel was secretly a wizard.
He was worried he might cast a deadly spell on him at this rate.
Jeffrey was scared out of his wits.
“We received a report that you held a high-profile person from Tsulu,
hostage.”
