Sophia took a deep breath and went to open the door, acting calm.” What is it?"

“What are you doing here, Madam Sophia? Mr. Javier is searching for you all over the place.” As

Rory spoke, his eyes wouldn't stop peeking behind Sophia into the lounge.

“I was tired, so I found a place to rest. What are you looking for? You think I'm hiding someone?”

Sophia leaned back against the door, arms crossed in front of her chest. She sneered. “Only an ugly

and perverted mind would view the world as such. Go inside, then. Try to find a man hiding in here,

or so help me!”

“That's not what I meant, ma'am.”

Rory didn't pursue the matter. He smiled politely and gestured for Sophia to exit the room. “Ladies

first, Madam Sophia. Mr. Javier requests your immediate presence in the VIP area. Everyone is

present save for you, Madam Sophia and Mr. Javier worries abo speculation.”

A peculiar atmosphere had settled in the VIP area.

Zoe hid behind Cornelius, now pale and rigid as ice.

Max had been by Cornelius’ side and helped him accomplish countless unspeakable acts without

leaving any loose ends each time. Why would Jasper have caught Max this time? It was impossible!

The rest of the Harper family were just as shocked.

“Max ... h-how could it be you?” Cornelius was quaking so violently

Cornelius had personally adopted Max from the orphanage when he was a child and spent a lot of

effort raising him. On the surface, Max

was Cornelius’ personal assistant, but Cornelius had long treated Max

as his own son.

“Mr. Cornelius, I-ouch!”

Before Max could finish speaking, Xavier kicked him in the waist, making him fall heavily onto the

ground.

Everyone was shocked.

Alyssa’s eyes widened slightly as she grew tense and alert.

She never imagined that Xavier, who usually obediently followed and did as he was told, would have

such an unbridled side to him—all just to get revenge for Alyssa himself!

Just then, Jasper gently wrapped an arm around her waist. He asked gently, “Did he frighten you?”

“Tsk. Frighten my ass,” Alyssa scoffed. Yet she couldn't help but feel warmth blossom in her chest

from the feeling of Jasper's hand on

her waist.

“It always used to be Xavier who'd calm me down when I was on the edge of blowing up,” Jasper

murmured. He nodded, feeling pleased. This is the first time he’s been unable to hold himself back,

all for his dear Madam Alyssa.”

Alyssa’s lashes trembled lightly. Jasper's magnetic voice and warm breath on her skin seemed to

make an electric current run up her spine. She had the urge to look down, feeling shy.

Xavier had lashed out at lightning speed. He kicked Max again, eyes red with fury. “Motherfucker!

How dare you try to hurt Madam Alyssa!”

"You dare hurt one of my own?” Cornelius roared angrily.

Everyone who was a Harper rose and went to stand behind Cornelius. They glared furiously at

Xavier, some even eagerly waiting for Cornelius to give them the word to end him.

"He works for me. Touch him, I dare you,” Jasper spoke up, his gaze icy and laced with anger as it

swept across the Harper family's faces.

Jasper was like a powerful warlord, capable of putting an ominous pressure on everyone in the

room.

Everyone quickly fell silent.

Xavier's fearless expression quickly turned into a grateful, blushing one. He gazed fondly at Jasper,

suddenly becoming his original, meek self again.

"Who permitted your man to injure someone in our family? Is

someone as lowly as him fit to insult us?” Cornelius barked, glaring at Jasper. “And what do you

mean by saying someone from our family harmed Ms. Alyssa and her horse?”
