"How... How about Justin, your brother who had saved you?" Alyssa probed carefully.
Jasper froze.
The horrifying memories from his younger days replayed in his mind. It all felt so vivid to him.
"Justin and I may be half-brothers, but it's a fact that he'd saved my life. There's no doubt about that. I
will always be indebted to him."
Alyssa knew that Jasper was a loyal man. This was a good trait to have. At the same time, it could be
cumbersome too.
"Imagine if Justin comes back and joins the fight to succeed Beckett Group. Would you hand it over to
him?"
Jasper chuckled softly. "Are you so fearful of the possibility that I'd marry into your family instead?"
"That's what I've been thinking about."
Alyssa blinked calmly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and continued, "I am an unrefined

only focused on becoming a leader in the business world. I want to be a radiant matriarch.
"Since I've now become a part of your life, I have to be responsible toward you. I need to understand
your thoughts in order to assist you fully."
Jasper felt a lump rise in his throat. He felt sorrowful.
She used to be someone who hitched her wagon to a star. However, she had held herself back for his
sake. Instead, she stood by him in silence for three whole years.
He had no words to describe it other than to say that he was indebted to her.
"Based on my observation of what Justin did previously, he seemed to be the kind of person to chase
after fame and fortune. It was just because of his physical disability that he wasn't able to come forward
personally.
"But what if he were to recover one day? He's the eldest son of the Beckett family. On top of that, he's
capable. He's also acquainted with the Jesseltons in Mosgravia. He has cast his net wide and paved
the way for himself. Are you saying that he won't fight for his place? I don't believe so."
Jasper furrowed his brows. He commented, "Justin's physical condition doesn't look too good. He has
to be in a wheelchair all year round."
"Was he paralyzed because of the kidnapping incident back then?"
Jasper shook his head. He took a deep breath and explained, "He was still young at the time. He was
held captive in a cramped container for too long. The lack of oxygen damaged his organs.
"Because of that, his physical health now has taken a toll. His poor health means that he needs to be
on medications and requires an oxygen tank all year round. Not only that, he has to rely on a
wheelchair to move around. He's unable to walk upright for an extended period of time."
"He sounds extremely weak."
Alyssa looked like she had a sudden realization. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued,
"Organ damage is an extremely serious issue. Since this is the case, I don't think he'll be able to
contend with you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Were you still thinking about that?" Jasper frowned and forced a smile on his face.
"Alright, forget it."
Alyssa smiled. She gave him a pat on his cheek." So what if he tries to compete with you? Grandpa is
on your side. More than that, you have all my support.
"Why is it that you are a social climber who now has the Taylors to be your powerful backer? Jasper,
my dear, know that you have a bright future ahead of you."
Jasper curved his lips upward into a wide smile. Suddenly, he leaned forward and pinned Alyssa down
on the couch. His breath was warm, and his gaze was seductive.
Playfully, he said, "Please take good care of me, Your Highness."
It was getting dark. A Rolls-Royce was parked near the East Solana Police Bureau.
Not long after, Cyrus hurried out of the station and got into Alyssa's car.
Jasper and Xavier were in the car too. The trio stared straight at him, anticipating the news he had to
share.
