Alyssa's hand froze midair. Her eyes reflected astonishment.Even though Alyssa was irked by Aidan's taunts, she appeared more emotionally composed than before, possibly due to being in love. She calmed down soon enough. However, Jasper was the one who couldn't take it. He took her hand and pulled her into a tight hug. Holding her shoulder, he addressed Aidan sternly, "Is that your family rule? I thought it was arrogance and conceitedness."Aidan furrowed his brows. "What did you say?""Am I wrong?" Jasper cast an intimidating look at him. "I don't care about the relationship between your family and hers. Lyse is a sensible and well-mannered woman. She wouldn't slight you if you didn't do it to her in the first place."You were rude to her just now. It's clear that you're the problem here. Mr. Lovelace, you're a senior to Lyse and a respectable man, but I'm appalled by your behavior."Alyssa lifted her gaze to stare at Jasper through tears. She fought the urge to give him a ki

Aidan stopped dead in his tracks. The annoyed look crept up his face once more.Alyssa freed herself from Jasper's grip and stormed up to Aidan. In the next moment, she raised her hand in the air and slapped Aidan across his face twice with all her strength.Everyone's jaw dropped to the ground. Even Jasper and Aidan were caught off guard by her actions. Aidan finally processed the slap when he felt the burning sensation on his cheek, the ringing in his ear, and the blood trickling down from his lips."Alyssa Taylor!" Humiliated and furious, Aidan pressed a hand against his cheek. He gritted his teeth, looking as if he was about to go off at her.Seeing that, Jasper hurried over and pulled Alyssa into a protective hug. He shot a threatening glance at Aidan, successfully intimidating the latter. Aidan's heart skipped a beat under Jasper's glare. For a moment, he forgot about the pain on his cheek."The first slap was for Julien. I don't care about the state of your relationship w

After consoling Mandy, Alyssa and Jasper retired to their bedroom. After locking the door, she was about to start a discussion when he wrapped an arm around her waist and sealed her lips with a trembling kiss.Initially taken aback, Alyssa's surprise quickly turned into surrender as she closed her eyes, reciprocating the embrace and melting under his touch.He gently and cautiously scooped her in his arms, seemingly worried that she might turn to dust. They shared a fervent kiss, their bodies intertwining in the heat of the moment.The air grew warmer as the room filled with the sounds of Jasper's heavy breathing and Alyssa's soft moans. She could feel his presence enveloping her, sensing his skin beneath his shirt and succumbing to his kiss that consumed her almost entirely.After what seemed like an eternity, she felt her head spinning. He finally regained control of his desires and moved away from her. She whispered, "I… I'm on my period. We can't make love."Sensing his hard

Winston's hand trembled when he held the glass of water. "It's time to get my will ready."Feeling bitter, Neil stopped him. "Mr. Winston!""Nothing to worry about. All the business tycoons here and abroad do the same. They'll prepare their will at this age just in case anything happens." Winston stared at Neil solemnly. He began, "Neil, I can't discuss this matter with my wives. They're too kind and gentle to accept it. I can't turn to my kids, too. I might appear rich and glamorous on the outside, but as their dad, I gave them a lot of trouble. I know what I have done."That's why I can only bring up this matter with you. You're the only one I trust."Neil lamented, "But Mr. Winston, you said you'd like to see all your children married and settled down. You wanted a bunch of grandchildren.""Hah. I don't have the time to wait. Jonah, Silas, Cyrus, and that brat Axel are either busy with work or busy serving Jesus. None of them will give me what I want." Winston sighed a few ti

Jameson started, "I'm well aware that I can't change how someone feels. Although I am deeply in love with Lyse, I've never forced her to be together with me. I am her sincerest suitor. I can't stand seeing her together with a bastard like Jasper. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing." Jameson's gaze became deep as he placed a box on the table. "This box contains the miracle drug that saved you the last time. There are a total of three doses. It's enough to stabilize your condition. This drug is difficult to procure even if you were to send someone to Mosgravia to purchase it for a high price. You would be lucky to get even one dose, let alone three doses. "I just want you to promise me that you will not let Lyse marry Jasper. Then, you'll have my guarantee that you'll be able to access this medication all year round. This wouldn't be something that you'd have to worry about." A vicious look flashed across his eyes. "It doesn't matter who Lyse gets together with. I will give them my
