Even if Javier favored Justin, it wouldn't be easy for Justin to take over thepany, would it? As someone seasoned and used to upheavals, what was Newton afraid of? Justin remained in his wheelchair as he left the hospital. Sheryl and his bodyguard helped him into his luxury Bentley. Just as the car began to move, Alyssa suddenly rushed out and grabbed the window as it rolled up.
Justin's bodyguard hit the brakes immediately. Sheryl, startled, glared at Alyssa's cold expression. "Ms. Alyssa, why would you throw yourself at someone's car like that? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Justin raised his hand, signaling Sheryl to stay silent. He smiled warmly at Alyssa. "Is there something you wanted to talk about, Ms. Alyssa?" Alyssa ran her tongue over her teeth. "I do." Sheryl and the bodyguard stepped out while Justin invited Alyssa into the car.

Justin's gaze deepened, his dark eyes gleaming in the dim light of the car. "I've heard of them." "In that case, I'd like to get your help." Alyssa took out Jasper's blood test results, which she had been carrying, and handed them to Justin.

"Justin, you saved Jasper's life during the kidnapping, and now you've returned for him. I can see that you and Jasper share a deep bond. You want him to wake up, don't you?" Staring at Alyssa's exquisite-looking face, Justin's voice turned hoarse without him even realizing it. "Even ne though we're only half brothers, Jasper and I grew up together. Of course I'd hope for him to be well. It's not just for his sake, but yours too." There was a hint of affection in his voice that sent a chill down Alyssa's spine.
