Chapter 783
However, Jasper suddenly realized that Alyssa wasn’t seeking an explanation or defense. She wasn’t
concerned about his innocence.
What she wanted was for him to disappear from her life completely.
Landon’s presented evidence, while not direct, still implied an indirect solid connection.
This incident had become much more complicated than it should have been.
Luckily, only members of the Beckett and Harper families were present tonight. Making these matters
public to outsiders or the media could ruin Zoe’s reputation.-
After all, Landon was Zoe’s brother, and it was impossible for him to be so ruthless.
Landon refused to compromise, and the situation was at a stalemate. Cornelius had no choice but to
leave first. He needed to go back and investigate the whole situation thoroughly.
“Landon, Zoe, you two are coming back with me!” Cornelius said, standing up with his cane.

Alyssa’s
voice rang out as she descended the stairs gracefully with a charming smile on her face.
She radiated a presence far more potent than Sophia, the true owner. It was almost as if Seaview
Manor
belonged to her as much as Heightsnew Villa did.
Sophia’s face darkened.
“Oh, Ms. Alyssa, you’ve graced us with your presence again. I’m sure you and Jasper have a lot to
catch
up on. We won’t bother you.”
Cornelius didn’t look pleased, as Alyssa’s arrival had indeed messed up their plans.
“Please stay, Mr. Cornelius. Don’t get the wrong idea. Jasper and I don’t have much to discuss. You
can
consider his recent behavior as a moment of confusion. As his ex-wife, even I still haven’t quite
grasped
what’s going on in his mind these past three years.”
Alyssa openly admitted her identity as Jasper’s ex-wife, leaving Cornelius at a loss for words.
Jasper arrived at the scene and quickly caught up. He overheard her words and frowned in frustration.
Cursing under his breath, he questioned whether he could ever win this woman’s favor in the next life.
But what was with those erotic scenes that appeared in his mind? Was he starting to have serval
fantasies at the age of 20?
“Don’t bother me anymore, Jasper.”
Despite Alyssa’s pounding heart, she fiercely pushed against his chest, her cheeks burning. “You
saved my life, and I don’t want to hate you. But if you bother me again, I won’t show you mercy.”

“Alyssa, do you really hate me so much? Do you really not trust me?” Jasper knew he sounded resentf
A man unable to garner any response from the woman he loved could grow resentful, eventual
descending into madness.
“Jasper, do you know how much I hate staying in this room?”
Alyssa lifted her eyes, casting a cold gaze at the stunning crystal chandelier suspended from the calling
Her eyes had met the elegant fixture for over a thousand nights in the past three years.
She smiled bitterly. “Returning here, all I can think of are the countless lonely nights, unrequited love,
and
heartache.
“Honestly, you should be with Zoe because, in her eyes, you’re perfect. But in my eyes, you’ve already
fallen and broken into pieces that can’t be pieced back together.
“I wish for our future lives to be happy, and I hope our paths never cross again.”
Never cross again.
Well said, Alyssa.
Jasper felt like he was in agony. As he stiffly and slowly released his grip on her, the flames of anger
burned in his blood vessels, churning and roiling in his chest.
Initially, he had wanted to explain.
