Chapter 346

Jasper was about to punch Cyrus in the face when Alyssa cried, “Don’t hit my brother!”

That made Jasper freeze instantly, and his hand paused in mid-air.

Cyrus leaped on the chance to land a punch on his cheek, the skin at his lip breaking from the

force.

Jasper hissed, the taste of blood filling his mouth. He stumbled back just the slightest, wincing in

pain.

Alyssa looked on in shock, not expecting Jasper to have actually listened to her.

Jasper just stood there and let Cyrus hit him.

Cyrus hurried back to protect his sister, glaring at Jasper, whose lip was now bleeding. “Touch my

sister

again, and I'll kill you, bastard!”

Unbeknownst to him, Alyssa was grateful that Jasper had actually let up on her brother. If he hadn't,

Cyrus

might have ended up in the hospital.

Alyssa didn't press charges in the end. She knew what kind of person Xavier was, having spent time

knowing him for three years.

Xavier followed Jasper back to the car like a wounded dog, hunched over and with a metaphorical

tail

between his legs.

“I'm sorry, sir. I let myself get caught by that asshole cop and caused you this much trouble.”

“It's fine,” Jasper quipped, mouth still sore.

"Y-You're hurt!” Only now did Xavier notice the blood on Jasper's lip. He cried, “Was it that cop? I'm

going

to sue him! I'm going to sue him for attacking an innocent civilian-"

Innocent?

He wasn't so innocent when he caged Alyssa in earlier.

“Just drop this.”

“But-"

“That “asshole cop’ is Alyssa’s seventh sibling, one of Winston's many sons.” Jasper should have

realized

that earlier. He did share similar features with his father.

"Damn! The seventh sibling?” Xavier exclaimed. “They're practically matryoshkas at this rate! Why do

we

keep on crossing their paths?” (1)

Jasper closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, sighing as he brushed away the flaked blood at

his lip.

He prayed that he'd meet all of Alyssa’s brothers in one shot. He really couldn't take it anymore. 1

Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Zoe.

“Jasper?”

Jasper suddenly understood why Alyssa had said what she said. “You're allowed to have so many

little

sisters to play with. Why can’t I have my brothers watching my back?”

So this is what she meant!

Jasper sat up straight in his seat, now alert.

“I've prepared the compositions for the piano performance for the welcoming party. Do you want to

take a

look?”

But Jasper hadn't heard a single word she said. All he could think about was why Alyssa had said

what

she said.

So, she still cared about the fact that he was involved with other women.

Did that mean she was jealous?

“Jasper? Jasper! What's my big brother doing, hm?” Zoe called. “Are you paying attention?”

“Can you not call me that?”

“Huh?”

“Landon is your brother, not me.”

Zoe was taken aback. “You... do you not like it when I call you that?”

“No, I don’t. Don't call me that again.”

Jasper then hung up the call.
