Smiling, Jonah handed Alyssa a leather envelope.
This. She puzzledly accepted the envelope and checked the documents within. Soon, she

“The Beckett Group won the bid for the Verdane Valley project. Javier Beckett handed the
project to Sophia.
“Look, this is a multi–billion–dollar project with huge profits and lots of opportunities for
abuse of power. Not only that, it is a good chance to widen her web of connections in
Solana City.
“More importantly, Sophia would advance her influence in the Beckett Group using the
project
and rise to power against Jasper. She might have been an actress, but she is ambitious in
business. She dreams of having full control of the Beckett Group, especially when she has
Javier’s
affection.”
“Full control? Haha, she is delusional. She does not have the capability to do so.” Alyssa
checked
the documents with a spark in her eyes.
She added, “Even if Jasper runs Grandpa’s business empire to the ground, she has no say

“Take a good look at the documents I gave you. At 1:00 pm the day after tomorrow, Javier
and
Sophia Beckett will meet with the mayor, Orlander Hodgson, at the Becketts‘ golf club at
Verdane
Valley. I think they will discuss the Verdane Valley project collaboration.”
He held her shoulder with a serious look, as though he was relaying an important mission.
“I will
count on you to avenge me.”
“Pfft, forget about it. I know what’s in your mind, dear brother.” She tilted her head and
rested on
his broad shoulder.
She continued, “You know I’m stubborn and vindictive. You know that I will make a move
on
them. So, you laid everything out like a children’s game for me to take my revenge.”
“Lyse, don’t call me out. Be nice to me.” He pinched her cheek.
“I’m a 24–year–old, Jonah. I am even a divorcee now.” She turned around with a straight
face. “All
my brothers have sacrificed too much for me It’s my turn to protect all of you while you

After suffering the humiliation earlier in the day, Liana went home and called Sophia to cry
and
vent.
“You deserved it!” Sophia berated her, “I told you to stay calm and stay away from him
because
he’s still upset. But you did not listen! Now that you’re snubbed, you have no one else to
blame but
yourself. What good is crying?”
“But Aunt Sophia, Alyssa’s back! Jasper brought her to Seaview Manor!” Liana’s face was a
mess of
tears and snot. “She’s walking all over me. How could I sit back and do nothing?”
“You have to! I picked up the meaning behind Jasper’s words that day. Why haven’t you?
You have
to be gracious if you want to be his woman! You’re only ruining the image I crafted for you
with all
the jealousy, the crying, and the drama!”
Sophia added snarkily, “Your goal is to become the wife of the Beckett Group president.
You’re not
leading a romantic play with Jasper! Even if Alyssa spits on you, you must endure it if it
helps you
achieve your goal!”
“But, Aunt Sophia…”

bother
me for now.”

Liana slumped onto her bed with such resentment that she almost crushed her phone in
her grip.
At that moment, she received a call from an unknown number. She wiped away her tears
and picked up grumpily, “Who is this?”
“Ashley, it’s been a while. How are you doing in Solana City?”
She heard a man speaking Grunslandish with a Mosgravian accent mixed with a sneer.
“I–Is that you?” asked Liana tentatively. Her face paled.
Ashley was the name she adopted when she was studying in Mosgravia. After reuniting
with
Jasper, she cut off her ties to her social circles in Mosgravia.
She also deleted her old Instagram account and got herself a new email and phone
number, all in

To her dismay, the man from her past had tracked her down!
“I missed you so much. Let’s meet up. Shall I go to you, or you come to me? Darling?” He
sounded
threatening.
Her silk dress was drenched in sweat. She struggled to breathe. “Where are you? I’ll go
meet you!”
