"If you try to lay your hand on Jasper, I'll be the first to stop you. You might not care for him, but I do.
Even if I'm not around..." Alyssa's sad eyes looked at Jasper's mother's tombstone. "Don't you think
Auntie Anne would care? As the noble, high, and mighty chairman of the Beckett Group, don't you think
it's distasteful to get physical in front of the deceased?"
Alyssa had just uttered the deadliest and harshest words in the most nonchalant tone.
The look in Javier's eyes sank. He clenched his jaw so tightly that it was about to break open.
"Mr. Javier, I think it's not a great day for you to pay your respects to Auntie Anne today. We appreciate
the gesture. I'm sure Auntie Anne feels the same way. I think it's best if you leave." Rory and the
bodyguards sighed in relief as Alyssa loosened her grip.

"You wish!" Jasper suddenly pulled Alyssa behind him.

and took her life to relieve herself of it! Her death had nothing to do with me!"
Relieve. Javier had actually thought Anne was relieving herself from the pain.
Alyssa frowned deeply. She shook her head, angry and helpless.
Until now, Javier had never understood the condition of Jasper's mother's heart, let alone everything

However, his love for himself was far beyond his love for Anne.
"My mother is not a victim who used death to get a sense of relief. She died because Sophia."
"Jasper! Enough!"
Alyssa grabbed Jasper's arm and stopped him in time. Jasper, who was consumed by anger, regained

Rory was dumbfounded by what had happened.

"What did Jasper mean when he said that? Is he implying that... Sophia killed Anne?"
