Chapter 416
It was midnight. Jasper sat by the window in his study room, pouring himself a glass of red wine.
The glass he was using at the moment was one of the presents Alyssa had given him.
It was a pair of Baroque-style crystal wine glasses. The clear clinking of these glasses indicated their
top-
notch craftsmanship and exquisite quality.
As he sipped the wine, he couldn’t help but wonder if when she had gifted him these glasses, she had
thought of spending a lifetime together with him.
Jasper frowned. The wine in his mouth suddenly tasted even more bitter than a bitter gourd.
Right at that moment, a knock sounded at his door. Xavier entered the room with several documents.
“Mr. Beckett, I’ve completed the investigation on Abigail, just as you instructed. Rest assured, I even
found information on where her ancestors are buried! Absolutely no oversight!” Xavier declared

Previously, Jasper hadn’t left a good impression on Alyssa because of Xavier. This time, he was
particularly diligent in gathering information, hoping to make up for his mistake.
“Alright, Scan a copy of it and send it to the president of the Taylor Group.”
In the illumination of the light, Jasper held a magnificent glass in his hand, twirling it around with great
fascination.
Xavier was momentarily stunned. “Huh? Do I send it to Mr. Jonah?”
As Jasper shot him a frosty glare, he immediately laughed sheepishly. “Ah, it’s Madam Alice.”
“Send it via email,” ordered Jasper, then he added after a pause, “Send it anonymously.”
“Huh? Why, though?” Xavier blurted out without pausing to reconsider his words.
Jasper pursed his lips. “I’m worried that she might simply delete it without looking at it if she sees the
sender is from the Beckett Group.
Xavier wondered if it was really necessary to be this discreet.
Jasper’s phone buzzed on the coffee table. He picked it up and saw that it was a video call from
Landon.
Jasper was puzzled as he answered the call. “What are you up to now?”
On the screen, Landon’s face was as pale as a sheet. He lay on a white bed with a blue and white wall
“Jasper… I think I’m about to die…”
“My condolences.” Jasper didn’t even bat an eye.
“Jasper your sister, Lauren… is she lethal?”

Landon explained further, saying, “Today, she gave me a blueberry cake, and I ate the whole thing.

“I nearly vomited my guts out. I had to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital! The doctor said I
had food poisoning from eating spoiled food.
“Damn it! I knew it tasted off from the first bite. It was so sour. And now…. Fuck! The pain is back!”
Xavier, who had been listening, turned around and burst into silent laughter, tears streaming down his
face.
For those aware of Landon’s situation, it was clear that he had an upset stomach. For those unaware, it
seemed like he was about to give birth.
Jasper pursed his lips, trying to contain his laughter. “Then why did you finish it when you knew
something
was off from the start?”
“Lauren made it for me herself. How could I be so heartless to reject her kindness? Ugh! It’s so
painful…”
Landon continued to whine.
Indeed, even a tough guy couldn’t endure a bout of diarrhea! 1
