"Why do you sound like you've known him for a long time, Ms. Alyssa?”

“I'm sorry, Silas.” Alyssa looked down at her feet guiltily.

“Huh? Why are you apologizing to me?”

Silas was surprised to hear the apology. He placed a hand on Alyssa’s forehead immediately. “Are yo

Alyssa’s voice grew softer as she spoke.

"What are you talking about, you silly brat?”

Silas walked over to Alyssa and gave her a comforting hug. All he felt was sorrow and heartbreak for

touching her injured arm while hugging her.

"We're your older brothers. It's our duty to protect you. If you get married again in the future, we'll b

Silas felt his words weren't reassuring enough. So, he added, “Even if you stay

single for the rest of your life, we'll still protect you. You can rely on us.”

Alyssa smiled happily in response.

“It was the KS Group. The Willow Group has transferred

Jasper's body went stiff before his eyes darkened immediately.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?”

"Our team was engaged in a negotiation with the representatives from the Willow Group. They were

about to seal the deal when Mr. Taylor suddenly swooped in and snatched the

deal away. We didn’t think this would happen.”

The manager was so intimidated that his face turned ashen

Xavier added, "Do you think Mr. Taylor is the mastermind behind the exposure, Mr. Beckett? Then

Jasper raised his head to gaze at the rearview mirror. As a result, Xavier fell silent immediately.

“There's a tailor shop up ahead. Stop the car.”
