âWhat right does Mr. Justin have to just demand what he wants?â Xavier said, his fists balling up. âThe company wouldnât have reached its height today without you. You have shed blood, sweat, and tears.

âYou nearly lost your life in an accident while supervising the development lots yourself. You havenât even begun to enjoy the fruits of your labor, so how dare Mr. Justin come back and reap what your have sowed?
âSo what if Mr. Javier is backing him up? Youâre doted on by Mr. Beckett Senior! A son has to listen to his father no matter what!â
âWhat are you going on about father and son?â Alyssaâs voice rang out suddenly.
Jasper quickly signaled for Xavier to be quiet. His gloomy expression switched to a warm, loving one.
Alyssa walked toward them with some mugs of tea in her hands. What are you two going on about so loudly? You sound so rilea Xavier.â
âItâs nothing important. He gets riled up just by watching stray mutts fight over a bone.â Jasper went and took the mugs from Alyssaâs hands. âWhatâs with the courtesy? Do you take me as a mere houseguest?â
âIâm just worried you two might dehydrate yourselves with how much youâre chatting,â Alyssa said with a laugh.

âCyrus called me earlier and said theyâre starting the case on Jeffrey,â Alyssa said, her hands balling into fists.
âLandon and I are looking for Inigo too. We have men all over the place, whether itâs the airports, railways, or jetties. They have yet to find any trace of him since everything began.â Jasper wrapped his hand around Alyssaâs and squeezed it lightly, warming her up.
âLooks like someoneâs protecting him. With what you guys are capable of, thereâs no way that bastard wouldnât have been found out by now.â
Alyssa and Jasper shared a look, knowing who exactly was protecting Inigo.
âInigo wonât be able to escape so long as heâs in Solana City. Being protected doesnât matter.â Jasperâs gaze glinted sharply as he spoke.
