Chapter 774

At this point, everyone knew that Jasper had someone in his heart, and that particular someone was

their

former madam.

Why did Alyssa suddenly appear now? What was she here for?

Did she hear about the Harper family pressuring Jasper into marriage, so she came to save him?

Alyssa wore a tight black dress draped with a stylish black velvet shrug. Her hair swayed down to

her waist, and her red lips were vivid. She looked cool and elegant.

Two initially contradictory qualities harmonized perfectly in her. She was truly astonishing.

She exerted such pressure on Zoe with a single assured glance that the latter couldn't lift her head.

Upon seeing Alyssa’s sudden appearance, Penelope quickly pressed on her tightened chest.

When she recalled Alyssa’s deeds, she felt that even their entire family joining forces might not be

enough to compete with her. Penelope's not-so-healthy heart couldn't take it.

“Grandpa, she's the one I mentioned to you, Alyssa,” Zoe urgently whispered to Cornelius.

Zoe added, “She used to bully me a lot. Grandpa, you must help me get justice.”

Cornelius stared at Alyssa’s face, feeling complicated.

Although he was meeting Alyssa for the first time, her father, Winston, was an old acquaintance.

They might not be friends, but Winston's character was well-regarded in their circle. He could

confront Javier but found it hard to make things difficult for Winston's daughter.

"Good evening, Mr. Javier. I apologize for the sudden visit. Oh, Mr. Cornelius, you're here too.”

Smiling, Alyssa greeted Cornelius. “I'm Alyssa. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cornelius.”

Graceful and sensible, she was indeed raised by Winston.

Zoe anxiously urged Cornelius, “Grandpa! Grandpa, why aren't you saying anything? She not only

bullied

me but is also my rival for Jasper!”

Hearing that, Cornelius pressed his lips together. This grudge was not something he couldn't help

his

granddaughter settle.

However, as a big shot who had been through life and death, he couldn't stoop to the level of

quarreling

with a young woman.

Meanwhile, Jasper’s intense gaze was still on Alyssa’s stunning face.

His brain told him that this woman had hurt him deeply and he should be angry. But his heart and

body

were on fire, with passionate hormones telling him he longed for her.

“Ms. Alyssa, what brings you here and at such a late hour too?” Javier asked with a half-smile,

maintaining

a distant attitude toward his former daughter-in-law.

“That's right, Ms. Alyssa. You just said it yourself that it was an impromptu visit. It's quite rude to

come

unannounced.”

Sophia added with a smirk, “Didn't you see? We have an esteemed guest here, and we're discussing

important matters. It's inappropriate for an outsider to listen. If there's good news, we'll inform you

later.”

Sophia's words were loaded with implication and sarcasm.

At once, Jasper's expression turned cold. Just as he parted his lips, Alyssa calmly said, “Madam

Sophia, you misunderstood. I'm not interested in the conversation between your two families at all.

I'm here to

see you.”

Everyone was puzzled, exchanging glances.

Stunned, Sophia frowned. “Me? Why?"

"Would you like to have a private chat, or should I speak openly right here?” Alyssa smiled, her eyes

twinkling menacingly.
