Alyssa“s gaze hardened immediately. She looked very distant all of a sudden

“It seems that Ms. Gardner spoiled you a lot. You're a lot more shameless than before.”

“Don't drag other people into our problems” Jasper snapped angrily.

“Stay away from me if you don't want me to insult you! I want nothing to do with you, Mr. Beckett!

Jasper was used to Alice looking at him lovingly over the past three years. Her eyes tended to spark!

“won't let you leave!”

Alyssa started laughing. “Am I supposed to stay just because you said s0? What, do you think I'm you

“There's no need for you to say such

harsh things. You know very well that's not what I meant.” Jasper frowned in displeasure.

“Harsh things? Haha! You really are dense, aren't

you? Can't you tell I'm being sarcastic? Let me make it clear. I hate you, Jasper Beckett. Don't bother

Alyssa’s eyes reddened. She tried to free her wrist from Jasper's grip.

But Jasper was also a stubborn man. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became. He didn't

Alyssa hissed softly in pain.

She clutched her right lower arm with her left hand. Sweat soon seeped out of her forehead.

Only then did Jasper realize what he had done. He released her immediately.

Looking down at his palm, he noticed bloodstains on his hand. His eyes widened slightly at the sight

It turned out that Jasper was gripping Alyssa’s injured wrist. He was so eager to drag her out of the I

“I'll take you to the infirmary right now.” Jasper's voice was deeper and scratchier than before. Even

“Leave this place right now, or I'm calling the police.” Alyssa backed away from Jasper furiously.

“Alice-

“Get lost!” Alyssa roared furiously. Right now, her heart hurt as much as her wrist.

They had been married for three whole years, yet Jasper always ignored her. He wanted nothing

to do with her.

Now that they were divorced, Jasper decided to pester her. Not only that, but he kept making physic

that he no longer minded being around her.

How ironic.

Jasper was stunned upon hearing Alyssa’s scream. His handsome face soon became icy.

"How dare you

demand me to leave! You were the one who wanted to marry me in the first place! Why didn't you sl

“That's because I loved you back then.” An enraged grin stretched across Alyssa’s face at that mome

Jasper could feel a dull ache coming from his heart. Even his breathing was starting to become

heavier.

“When I was still in love with you, I'd tolerate anything you did to me. Now that I no longer love

you, I won't be patient with you anymore.

“Did you really think you'd still receive the same treatment now that we've divorced? The old

Alice is gone, Jasper. I don't love you anymore. You're nothing to me.”

Alyssa tilted her chin haughtily before turning on her heel. She wanted to leave.

“If it wasn't for Grandpa, I wouldn't look for you in the first place, Alice! Do you have any idea how

much he misses you? He's extremely anxious because he can't even get in contact with you!”

Jasper's eyes reddened as well. He decided to hurt Alyssa’s feelings by mocking her.

"You claim to care about Grandpa, but look at what you did! You're such a liar, Alice! Did you think. y

Alice's breath was lodged in her throat at that moment. She clenched her fists as well.

Newton would forever be the connection that tied her to Jasper. She could never give him up.

Alyssa was a woman who cared about her loved ones. She was willing to do anything just to carry

out her promises.

Since she promised Newton that she'd only go through the legal divorce procedures after

celebrating his birthday with him, she would never go back on her word.

She would never break her promise, no matter how torturous the waiting process was.

“I don’t plan to break my promise. I'll visit Grandpa during the next two days.”

"Now."

“What?”

“I want you to visit Grandpa now. He hasn't been able to sleep for five days straight. He couldn't evel

Jasper seemed like he was about to lose his patience. He looked very frustrated at that moment.

“Don't disappoint him, Alice.”

In the end, Alyssa chose to comply with Jasper's wishes.

It was true that she had another motive

in mind back when she decided to take care of Newton in the nursing home. At that time, she didn't

After spending a long time with Newton, Alyssa found herself opening her heart to him.

Newton might be old, but he was still wise. He was involved in the major decision—

making process even though he was no longer the chairman. He would give his advice whenever it

The youngsters learned a lot from him as a result.

Even Alyssa picked up many skills from Newton from their time together. She filled Jonah in on

the things she had learned. Not to mention, she even used those skills when she ran the hotel.

Newton was more than just a grandfatherly figure to her. In a way, he was also her mentor.
