Chapter 106: Chapter 106

“Why not? I’m not sitting back and waiting to be attacked by an animal.” Alyssa dusted her hands and glared at Betty.

“D–Did you just call me an animal?” Betty’s face reddened in anger.

At that moment, the door opened. Alyssa looked across and felt a chilly air swept by her.

Next, she watched in shock as Jasper showed up in front of them. The ex–couple looked stunned when they locked eyes.

Alyssa looked away coldly as though he was a stranger. He pursed his lips. There was a heavy look in his eyes as he wrestled the frustration deep inside.

“Jasper!” Betty seemed to have found her savior. Crying and wailing, she complained to him, ” Alice White has gone mad! She slapped me in the face! You’ll have to see to this!”

“Yeah, it was me. Her cheeks are probably still burning.” With a smirk, Alyssa proudly admitted to slapping Betty.

“Why are you here?” He gave her an unfeeling look.

“What do you think?”

In the past, Alice always stared at him with light in her eyes. She appeared to have no feelings for him now. He could not find the passion and eagerness in her eyes anymore.

Feeling tight in the chest, he grappled with mixed emotions.

“Jasper, Alice wanted me to publicly apologize to her hotel employee in a press conference! When I refused to, she threatened me with the backing of the Taylor family! She even hit me!”

Betty put on her best performance when she realized that Jasper did not care about her. “Jasper, the employees were around! They can bear witness! Oh, poor me…”

“Alice, you’ve shared the video online for the netizens to attack the Beckett Group. Isn’t that enough?

How could you demand a press conference?” He frowned and chided her, “Isn’t that being greedy?”

Sean wanted to argue with Jasper, only to be held back by Alyssa. She stood in front of Sean. The action fanned the flames of jealousy in Jasper. He seemed to have found a chance to release his frustration since their divorce.

“I’m not greedy. I’m just… calling for justice.” Her dark eyes gleamed dangerously.

“Whatever you want to call it, I’m not letting you win If so, there’s nothing more to discuss Goodbye.” She raised a brow and shoved a hand into her packet.

Then, she marched out boldly.

“W–Wait Betty hadn’t forgotten about the photos in Alyssa’s possession. Sweating, she said, ” Jasper, she Photoshopped nude photos of me to tarnish my reputation and force me to apologize! You can’t just let her leave.”

Jasper immediately stopped Alyssa in her tracks.

Gave me the phone.”

“Who do you think you are? Alyssa chuckled while burning in rage. Without further ado, he snatched the phone from her hand.

Betty watched from the sidelines with glee. Sophia was right–Jasper was a great help who’d always clean up her mess.

Jasper Beckett! Give it back to me!” Panting, Alyssa reached out to swipe the phone from him like a monkey. She sprained her ankle in her high heels and stumbled right into his firm chest.

When they collided he reflexively wrapped an arm around her tiny waist.

She was ashamed and angered. Her face was as red as a cherry. Coincidentally, she felt the shape of his nipple through the fabric of his soft, ironed shirt and rubbed against it.

“Damn it. It’s perfect,” she thought.

Squinting, he was focused on the phone. With an arm around Alyssa’s waist, he grabbed her phone tightly with his free hand He remembered her passcode as 0923 if she hadn’t changed it.

He quickly typed in the numbers and successfully unlocked the phone.
