Jasper, standing with his back facing her, felt a thrill in his heart as a smile flashed across his lips.
However, he did not have the courage to face Alyssa.
Meanwhile, Jameson pursed his lips. A storm was brewing in his eyes.
Alyssa and Jasper might have divorced on bad terms, but he sensed the complicated feelings that
lingered between the two.
“Since you’re already here, why don’t you clear the air before you leave?” She took a step forward and
stared at Jasper’s straight back. “Don’t skulk around like a thief. You’re going to give me nightmares.”
His Adam’s apple moved. He turned to her and said, word by word, “Nothing. I’ve just been losing sleep
these past few days.”
She frowned as she was puzzled by the relationship between his Belbanks trip and his insomnia. Was his
insomnia related to her?
Speechless, she felt unfairly blamed for his troubles. She certainly hadn’t caused him any problems!
“Take your sleeping pills if you’re having trouble sleeping. Coming to Belbanks won’t solve your problems.”
“It’s been resolved.” He cast a knowing glance at her. “I believe I’ll have a good night’s sleep tonight.”
With that, he turned around and left.
She watched his slender figure and the black sports car vanish into the night before blurting out, “He’s
absolutely insane!”
Back in this car, Jasper was instantly hit by waves of exhaustion, ready to drop at any time. His eyes were
even more bloodshot than when he had arrived at Heightsnew Villa.
He folded his arms on the steering wheel. His biceps were tense, accompanied by frustration and labored
breathing.
He stared until Alyssa and Jameson entered the Heightnews Villa and closed the gates behind them. It
jolted his heart.
Trembling, he dialed Xavier’s number.
“Mr. Beckett, any orders?”
“Look into it.”
“Huh? Look into what?” Xavier was puzzled.
“The relationship between the Taylors and the Schmidts. The relationship between Alyssa Taylor and
Jameson Schmidt.”
He clenched his jaw. “Alyssa isn’t one to fall in love easily. I do not believe in Jameson’s description of
their relationship.”
“Roger that! I’ll get to it right away!” Xavier sounded overjoyed. He even daringly added, “Madam wouldn’t
have left you if you had trusted her from the beginning. She won’t be dealing with those pests!”
“One more word from you, and I’ll ship you off to Alethia!”
Xavier groaned, “Pardon me, your royal highness! It’s all my fault!”
Alyssa had caught news of Jasper standing in front of Heightsnew Villa. She had wanted to ignore his
dramatic act and leave him suffering in the wind.
To her dismay, Jameson went out to meet with him. She couldn’t let trouble brew and thus had to resolve
the situation decisively.
The episode did not change the mood at the dinner. The event ended on a happy note.
Winston returned to his study with Neil and secretly called Jonah and Silas in for a meeting.
“Dad, what’s up?” Jonah questioned.
“How much do you know about Lyse and Jameson? Tell me the truth.” Winston tidied his outfit and sat
squarely on the couch.
The brothers exchanged glances. Silas immediately ratted out his brother, “Dad, you have to ask Jonah. about this. I knew nothing about Lyse and Jameson showing up together!”
Jonah remained composed.
“Jonah, what stage are they at?”
