"Justin, are you a fan of mine?" Alyssa blinked rapidly.
The notion struck Alyssa as interesting. More peculiarly, Justin claimed he had met her way earlier, which made her feel doubtful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough her identity as Alexa got exposed, it was a well-kept secret years ago. From Justin's words, he seemed to have known she was Alexa long before she was exposed.
"I have heard great things about you. You feel familiar and real—like someone who's by my side. | don't see you as a stranger," remarked Justin earnestly.
"Haha! My granddaughter-in-law is pretty famous!" Joking, Newton took Alyssa and Jasper's hands.
Then, he put their hands on top of each other in front of Justin. "Jasper, you need to worship Alice. Just look at how famous and brilliant she is. She's a lucky charm of the family!" Alyssa pressed her lips together as she blushed. Jasper interlocked his fingers with hers and declared, "Grandpa, don't you worry about that. To her, I'm just her man. But to me, she is my entire world." In a black wheelchair, Justin sat, half of his frosty face veiled in shadows after the call. The light and shadows seemed to have split his soul into two.
He placed his arms on the armrests. Under his exquisite, sapphire-encrusted sleeve were his weak wrists. His slender fingers danced across the armrests as if he were playing a silent tune on the piano.

He gave the pills a side-eye with a smirk. "That's a lot of pills to take daily. I'm taking pills like they're my meals. | wonder if my blood is as poisonous and bitter as the pillgogw.” A look of pity flashed across Sheryl's eyes. "Sir, you've been through too much." "The sgoes for you." Justin gracefully picked up the pills.
She immediately shook her head. "My suffering is nothing compared to yours." "If I hadn't made the wrong move, Jasper would be going through my suffering today." Justin shoved a pill into his mouth and chewed on it like candy. "If Jasper were the one who suffered, you would feel sorry for him. Right, Sheryl?" Sheryl went on one knee by his feet and carefully held his cold hand, treasuring it. "Sir, do not worry. | will never betray you even if the whole world is against you. | have no feelings left for Jasper but hatred at this point. | hate him as much as | hate Alyssa layior!" He glanced at Sheryl. She had been molded and trained to perfection. Still, her radiance paled in comparison to Alyssa's dazzling beauty, as seen in the video call.
Jasper always seemed to be the luckier one from a young age.
"| overheard your call with Mr. Beckett Senior. He's too much! How could he play favorites?" Sheryl was gripped by fury. "You're his eldest grandson who grew up with him and Mr. Javier. You're the legitimate heir, while Jasper is just an illegitimate son inferior to you."
