Chapter 904: Chapter 904

He had heard about a love rival snatching someone’s hand in marriage. But he had never heard of a brother snatching his sister’s hand in marriage.

However, Axel had never been afraid of anything. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he did something like that.

“Hey, bastard!”

Axel looked at Jasper from beside him. “If, and I mean if, Jameson asks my sister’s hand in marriage, will you interfere?”

Jasper felt as if an arrow had pierced through his heart. Pain consumed his body.

He couldn’t entertain the thought of Jameson and Alyssa getting married.

“Shit, forget it. Neither you nor Jameson should think about getting my sister. None of you is worth her time, Axel cursed. He thought it was a stupid question to ask.

“I only want Lyse to be happy. As long as she’s happy, I’m willing to do anything for her. Jasper felt as if something was stuck in his throat. His voice broke as he spoke.

“Then, can you help me separate Lyse and that Schmidt guy? Seeing them as a couple is a real pain,”

Axel asked through gritted teeth.

Jasper looked at him in surprise.

“Don’t think too much, I’m not doing it for you, but for Lyse. The onlooker sees most of the game. She’s in the middle of this, so she might not see it. But things are crystal clear to me from where I’m standing.

“Behind those glasses, he’s a casanova, I’m not comfortable leaving Lyse in the hands of someone with malicious intent. I’m worried she will fall into a trap.” Axel was concerned for his sister.

Jasper was worried for her too.

“Let’s work together to keep them apart.” Axel clasped his fingers.

“What if she wants to be with Jameson? Jasper asked, even though the thought made his heart feel like it was being ripped out of his chest.

“Based on how well I know Lyse, she won’t for now. I know how Lyse is when she fancies someone.

No. one knows it better than her brothers.”

Axel scoffed at Jasper as he said that.

Jasper gulped hard. His face burned with guilt and regret. He knew Alyssa was a hopeless romantic.

She once had given her passionate heart and loyal devotion to him. He was once been loved unconditionally. Yet he had been blind and foregone this true love.

“That’s why we have to strike while the iron is hot, Lyse doesn’t have any feelings for Jameson now.

We need to nip it in the bud before it even starts.”

Axel narrowed his eyes and gnashed his teeth. “If we allow their relationship to develop further, I’m afraid Lyse won’t be able to withstand his fervent advances. Then, it will be too late.

“Think about it. But you don’t have any reason to turn me away. We have the same goal–if we can’t have that person, no one should either.”

He was about to leave.

“Are you helping me because we were friends in school?” Jasper suddenly asked, looking at Axel’s back.

Axel stopped in his tracks. He perked an eyebrow. “Oh, how thoughtful of you to mention it. We went to school together, but we were never friends. Goodbye.”

Jasper was left speechless.

On the way back, Winston allowed Alyssa and Jameson to sit in his car. Even a blind person could tell Winston was trying to create some alone time for them.

Winston’s wives didn’t ride in separate cars on the way back. Instead, they sat in one car to ease gossip.

“What is Winston thinking? Is he trying to set Lyse and Jameson up?”

Colene could barely hold it in as the car started. “Pfft, this must be an opportunity for a lifetime for that pipsqueak. He will sleep with a wide smile on his face every night if he becomes part of our family.”

“The Schmidts aren’t as influential as the Becketts in Solana City. I don’t think Mr. Schmidt’s status is suitable for our son–in–law,” Mandy said helplessly.

*Lyse had always had her eyes on Mr. Beckett. Has she moved on? Is she ready for a new relationship?”

Lyla hit the bullseye with her question, “The best way to forget an old flame is to start a new relationship. If Lyse doesn’t date another man, she will never forget that Beckett guy.”
