Chapter 194
But Jasper wasn’t giving up that easily. He grabbed hold of her arm, stopping her from taking another step. His eyes were nearly
bloodshot by now. “Did he louch you, Alice? Answer mel”
“Someone dutuurd Jonah! Alyssa growled out, glaring at him.
“What?” Jasper gaped in shock.
“I managed to suppress the effects, but I can’t do much else to deal with this lucked up cocktail of drugs, so I’m getting him to the
hospital right now!”
Alyssa llung Jasper’s hand away, yelling, “I don’t have time to deal with this nonsense right now, Jasper Beckett, but mark my
words. If something happens to Jonah because of this, I’ll make sure you and your family pay!”
Her words were like blades that lodged themselves in Jasper’s heart. It felt like someone had carved a hole into his very being.
His cheeks were warm and flushed as if she had just slapped him in the lace.
Jasper never expected Alyssa to be so hostile toward him all for another man, nor had he ever seen such a ferocious,
determined gaze.
There was a mesmerizing beauty in it.
“Come back, Alice!” Jasper cried as Alyssa ran off with Jonah in low.
But she didn’t stop this time.

“Alice” Newton cried out. “Alice!”
Alyssa stopped in her tracks, slowly turning around.
Her face fell drastically, paling when she saw who it was.

Alyssa was at a loss for words. Shame, panic, guilt, and countless other negative emotions flooded her chest. 1
*Jasper, Grandpa.. Mr. Taylor. You see how much she’s humiliating our families, now?” Liana cried, standing ahead of everyone
to
accuse Alyssa.
Liana continued, “Jasper had already agreed to divorce her after your birthday, Grandpa. You love her so much. Why couldn’t
she just hold
back for a bit longer?”
It didn’t look like she planned to stop. “I wanted to let you have a peaceful birthday celebration, Grandpa, that’s why I stayed in
line. But clearly, Alice doesn’t feel the same. She’s out here shaming our family!
“Mr. Taylor, this is a woman who’s yet to leave her marriage officially, but here she was, already getting herself involved with your
son. She even got herself alone in a room with him on Grandpa’s birthday, of all things! Would you really want your son to be
with a woman like this?
Jasper had had enough. “Liana Gardner!”
But she had already said her fill. She needed to drag Alice down this once, even if it meant Jasper’s impression of her would turn
sour
“Alice You” Newton blinked rapidly, not knowing what to say.
Meanwhile, Javier shook his head, silently grateful that his son had ended things with this woman. She would only humiliate their
family
further if they hadn’t.
Sophia sighed and said in a tone of faux kindness, “We were all young once. You can’t blame them for this. It’s good that our
family found out about this first, instead of anyone else. If we-
