Jonah and Sean left.
However, the news of the CEO of KS Groupâs sudden visit to Beckett Group had rapidly spread throughout the building.
Landon helped Jasper back to the office. Xavier also came along as he was unable to shake off his concerns.
His arm was dislocated, and his clothes were covered with sweat out of pain, but he didnât utter a word.
Landon noticed something was off and then realized Xavier was injured, too. He quickly arranged for someone to take Xavier to the hospital for treatment.
âJonah normally appears gentle and refined. But when he goes berserk, damnâ¦â Landon sighed, finding no words to describe the horror.
âItâs all for his sister. I understand him,â Jasper said wearily.
He sat on the sofa with his neck tilted back, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
If someone else had bullied Alyssa, he might have acted even more recklessly than Jonah.
Thinking about Jonahâs parting words, Jasperâs breath hitched. He felt as though his blood froze in his veins.
âFair enough. If it were Lauren, I wouldnât have stayed calm either.â
Landon looked worriedly at the cut on Jasperâs neck. It wasnât too deep, but blood had still stained his pristine shirt collar.
âGo to the hospital and get that taken care of.â @
âItâs fine,â Jasper said while taking a deep breath.
âWhy did Jonah turn so violent against you?â Landon asked with deep concern in his eyes.
âHe found out about Alyssa and me being intimate, Jasper replied.
âIt seems that in Jonahâs eyes, Lyse is no longer just a sister. Sheâs like his daughter. Heâs more of a fatherly brother. Itâs not bad. At least he didnât storm in here with a gun blazing. Youâre luc teased âIn the end, itâs my fault I really shouldnât have touched her after our divorce.â
ndon âBut, Landy, I couldnât control myself. I couldnât control my thoughts and my body. She was so close that night, and the temptation was too deadly for me. All I could think about was possessing her. I wanted her.â
He wanted to own her, to fill her, to make her completely his.
Landon thought of Laurenâs words and felt sorry for Alyssa.
âThinking it over, itâs not surprising Jonah wanted to kill you. What you did to Lyse back then was truly horrible.â
âWhat are you saying?â Jasper looked at him in confusion.
âTwo years ago, you took Lyseâs virginity. She was already yours two years ago, and you donât remember a thing. Damn, youâre a fucking horrible.â
âLandon.â
Jasper looked at him in confusion. He clutched Landonâs hand with trembling fingers.
âIs what youâre saying true? Who told you this?â
Alyssaâs words that day had made him doubt himself.
But he couldnât accept this revelation, as it overturned his entire understanding.
âLauren unintentionally saw everything that happened that night.â
Landon let out a helpless sigh as he recounted, almost word for word, the secret that Lauren had disclosed to him.
Jasperâs mind buzzed, and the immense shock left him almost detached from reality.
Their marital status wasnât only a formality.
Why didnât Alyssa tell him?
