Chapter 343
When Jasper finally reached the barbecue restaurant, Alyssa and her “companion” had
long left. He
gritted his teeth, recalling how she had been so intimately close to him in the pictures
Xavier sent him.
Jasper felt like a fool at the moment. However, he couldn’t shake his concern about Alyssa

Suddenly, Jasper found the man had exceedingly familiar features.
“Cyrus! Big brother, what are you doing here?”
Jasper tensed up upon hearing that familiar voice.
How many sons did Winston Taylor have?
