Jasper kept Landon company in the rain. Their erect figures looked like timeless and flawless sculptures.
"You should go back and handle the matters in your family. Let Lauren stay here with Grandpa for a while. You can cover again once Grandpa has simmered down a little." Jasper exhaled heavily. He gave Landon a pat on his stiff shoulder.
Landon's voice was extremely hoarse. "Tonight... | will stay here to keep her company." "You've got to be kidding me! The temperature is almost going below zero. You'll surely fall sick if you stand here all night!" Jasper's expression becgrim. "Lauren will feel even more terrible if she finds out that you're being like this!" "Then. just don't let her find out." Landon forced a bitter smile with his pale lips. "Jasper, this is the only way that | can make myself feel better.

Please don't stop me." Alyssa knitted her brows tightly. She received a phone call from Cyrus the moment she went back into the villa.
"Cyrus." "Hey, Lyse." Cyrus paused for a moment. Then, he asked cautiously, "About Lauren. Is she alright?" Cyrus' voice sounded so warm that Alyssa was almost brought to tears. She always showed the weaker side of herself when she was in front of family and Jasper.
"She's here at Grandpa Newton's place. She's asleep," Alyssa choked.
Cyrus took a deep breath. In a raspy voice, he asked, "Is there anything that | can do for her?" Alyssa pursed her lips. She answered softly, "You can get a box of teddy bear cakes for Lauren when you're free." "Sure. I'll get them first thing tomorrow morning and bring them over to Mr. Beckett Senior's place." "Would you like to meet Lauren?" Cyrus replied in a tone that contained both a youthful shyness and the consideration of a mature man. "It's alright. She needs good rest. There's no need to tell her that | was the one who bought the cakes either." Cyrus' words tugged at Alyssa's heartstrings.
Landon and Cyrus were two equally outstanding men. Tonight, they were each watching over the swoman in their own ways.
However, where was Lauren's true happiness? Angelina accompanied Lauren in the room for a long tbefore exiting the room reluctantly.
She gave her moist eyes a rub. When she turned around, she spotted Alyssa and Jasper walking toward her.
"Angelina, you've got exceptional skills all these while. You're the best bodyguard in Harper Group."

Jasper frowned. He finally got to the crux of the matter. "How was someone from Harper Group able to harm you to this extent? They incapacitated you such that you didn't even manage to contact Landon in time. Not only that, they managed to bring Lauren to Harper Group without anyone knowing?"
"That was too skillful of them... and too cruel!" Alyssa's eyes reddened with anger .She clung onto Jasper's arm so tightly that his shirt sleeve beccrumpled. At the stime, Angelina broke out in cold sweat as she recalled the incident.
"The man whom | fought with is likely a hitman. His skills showed me that he's merciless and oerilous .I was not a match for him at all. Perhaps you are the only one capable enough to go against him, Mr. Beckett."
