NovelEnglishJustin tilted his chin upward slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold, ruthless glare that made him seem like an entirely different
person.
"As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its spots. Ms. Gardner, are you trying to prove tothrough your actions how
impotent of a person you naturally are?"
"Mr. Justin, please calm down..." Sheryl flinched, her face marked with a handprint, her skin pale with fear as she trembled. "I know
I'm not very bright. | honestly don't know what | did wrong. Please, enlighten me..."
"When speaking with Jasper, all you need to do is to get the main point across. There is no need to get into the details."
Justin closed his eyes and leaned back casually. "Yet, tonight, you brought up the kidnapping incident from 20 years ago at a
crucial point in my conversation with him. That was very untimely."
Feeling perplexed, Sheryl responded, "But... you saved his life. This is a fact. | was just reminding him of it so that he remembers to
be thankful!"

Justin scoffed and narrowed his eyes. "Thankful? He has even otten about his feelings for Alyssa. Why would he care about
what | did for him?
"Those three pills would cause him brain damage. This is a double-edged sword. He does not feel anything toward Alyssa. In the
sway, he will not feel anything towardeither.
"Jasper currently has doubts about me. Every word you say will plant seeds of doubt in his heart. | can let this incident slide this
time, but from now on, do not bring up the incident from 20 years ago. We will get ourselves in trouble if we're not careful."
Sheryl fell silent. Even so, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Justin, in that case, does that put us on the losing end? Jasper is getting
more and more out of control. Wouldn't hee against you in the future, then?"
"We are meant to go against one another. Plus, he will soon realize | have been stalling."
Justin curled the corners of his lips upward slightly to show his determination. "But that doesn't matter anymore. It would all be too
late by the the truly realizes it."
After parting ways with Justin, Xavier drove Jasper back toward Seaview Manor in his Maybach.
"Mr. Beckett, are you really okay? You look really bad." Xavier's chest tightened, and his heart filled with worry as he looked at
Jasper's pale face through the rearview mirror.
Jasper lowered his eyes and answered in a weak and breathless voice, "I'm fine."
Xavier sighed. "If only Dr. Lovelace is around at this time. At least he would be of shelp!"
"He is a neurologist while | am suffering from a gunshot wound. How is he going to be of help?"
All of a sudden, Jasper was reminded of Alyssa again.
Especially after last night, he felt even more indebted and remorseful toward her.
"Damn it... Did Justin put skind of surveillance on you?"
All of a sudden, Jasper's eyes widened in realization.
Ever since Jameson made a fool of him, Jasper had installed anti-hacking and anti-monitoring software on his phone. No one could

Moreover, ever since he and Alyssa separated, they barely spoke on the phone. So, how in the world did Justin get to know
everything?
Just at this moment, Jasper's gaze ended up unintentionally on the dashcam that had been fixed on the rearview mirror.
That night, Alyssa got into his car, where they had their conversation.
Therefore, the issue was within the car.
Xavierpleted all of that shortly after and returned to the study to report back to Jasper.
"Mr. Beckett, there are no abnormalities recorded in the surveillance footage."
Truth be told, Jasper guessed as much. If anyone had done anything to his car, the surveillance footage would be the first piece of
evidence that needed to be destroyed.
With a calm look on his face, he inserted the memory card into his laptop.
