Chapter 1049

“Arrange for Mr. Beckett to meet the suspect right away, Cyrus!” Orion

instructed.

Everyone was shocked.

Was it that easy?

“Yes, captain.” Cyrus was stunned by how smoothly it went.

“But Jeffrey is a dangerous man. It might not be safe to see him

alone, Mr. Beckett. Let Cyrus go with you,” Orion said.

“No need,” Jasper replied calmly.

“It’s alright, Captain Holt.. Mr. Beckett is far more skilled than Cyrus

and Jeffrey combined,” Alyssa said with a smile. “You best send more officers to watch over Jeffrey if

Mr. Beckett gets angry. I fear Jeffrey might end up losing his life in the station.”

Alyssa couldn’t let Jeffrey die before everything came to an end-not

yet.

Cyrus and two officers waited outside the detention center while. Alyssa and Jasper went inside to

speak to Jeffrey.

Some time went past before Jeffrey was lugged before them. He was cuffed and clad in prisoner’s garb

behind the bars.

“Fancy seeing you here,” Jeffrey snickered and sat on the metal chair. He leered at Alyssa and teased,

“Did you miss me, Ms. Alyssa?”

Alyssa’s expression was frosty. Though angry, she was able to

control herself.

But Jasper’s anger had reached boiling point. His jaw was clenched tight as he glared at Jeffrey. He

bristled like some caged animal, ready to lunge forth at any time.

Just then, Alyssa held Jasper’s trembling hand underneath the table.

Her firm grip steadied Jasper’s being, sending a curious calmness throughout his body. It quickly

stabilized his emotions..

“Hurry up and get to the point. I want to get back to sleep,” Jeffrey continued. He was clearly not

interested in cooperating with them.

“We’ve come here to talk about working with you, Jeffrey,” Alyssa began, using a more acceptable

term.

“Work with me? Do you think I’m an idiot, Ms. Alyssa? I nearly died under both your hands. You two

want to work with me? What

nonsense!” Jeffrey scoffed.

“You didn’t succeed in killing us, though you wanted to, did you?” Alyssa asked with a faint smile.

Jeffrey’s brows furrowed.

He was a mercenary, a trained hitman. Alyssa’s words were insulting his expertise.

She continued, “You know very well that the laws in my country only sentence criminals of the gravest

offenses to a maximum of 20 years. in prison. Do you really want to stay behind bars for that long?

“You’d be 60 by the time you return to Tsulu. Would you still have your support back there? You’ll still

have to be imprisoned in Tsulian jail when you go back at the old age of 60. You know just how terrible

the prison conditions there are. Do you think you’d survive?”

Alyssa’s words struck every one of Jeffrey’s weak points. She was a natural mediator.

Jasper clasped her hand silently as he watched her speak. His gaze was filled with admiration and

tenderness.

Jeffrey’s smile froze momentarily on his face.

Alyssa struck while the iron was hot.

She said, “We know Sophia was the one who instructed you to do this. Things wouldn’t have ended up

the way they did otherwise. Our number one enemy is Sophia, not you. Now that you’re arrested and at

risk of imprisonment, Sophia continues living her life freely out int the world. It’s as if the consequences

you’re suffering today have nothing to do with her. Can you live with that?”
