Chapter 405
Alyssa did not have the time to blow her hair dry. She hastily put on a wool coat over her night robe and
sped to KS World Hotel in her Bugatti with her hair still damp.
Buring the drive, she made a rare call to Jasper after giving it some thought.
Jasper was on a business trip at Edenfells City, approximately 62 miles from Solana City. The Beckett
Group had bought a piece of land by the countryside to build a hot springs resort, which was already in
the works.
At that very moment, Jasper and Xavier, wearing safety helmets, were inspecting the construction
progress under the lead of the person in charge.
Just as Xavier was shining a flashlight for Jasper to read the blueprint, Jasper’s phone rang. He
frowned
and impatiently dug out his phone.
Alyssa’s name lit up the screen, a golden glimmer amidst the darkness. He held his breath and felt his
heart race. His hand was trembling slightly as he clutched the phone.
“I-It’s Madam!” Xavier’s face beamed with exhilaration.
“I know. Calm down.” Jasper feigned his composure and was about to pick up the call when he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaccidentally swiped the wrong way and ended the call, all because of the stiffness in his fingers from
the
cold and excitement.
Xavier howled, “Mr. Beckett, why did you hang up on her? You know she only calls when something
serious is up! What if she’s in trouble?”
Nervous, Jasper blamed his fingers for the mistake. Thankfully, she called back again.
“Hey,” Jasper’s voice cracked slightly as he picked up the call without incident.
“Yo, you finally picked up,” Alyssa chirped in her melodious voice, though she sounded a little cynical.
“I will always pick up your call,” he said earnestly.
“You don’t have to pretend to be nice. I know you inside out after three years of marriage. This isn’t the
first time you’ve hung up on me,” she said with a snort.
Confused, he asked, “When did I hang up on you? I never did that.”
“Enough. I didn’t call you’just to take a trip down memory lane,” she replied impassionately. “You’d
better
get ready to say your last farewell to your best bro.”

“Will do.” Angelina only took orders from Landon as his secretary and personal bodyguard. Therefore,
she did not show mercy to Zoe and dragged the latter out by the arm.
“Argh! Don’t touch me! Get your dirty hand off me! You’re hurting me, you know? Fuck off!” Zoe’s
screams
fell on deaf ears.
To Zoe, Angelina was a monster bred by Landon, who had a firm grip that was impossible to shake off.
Zoe was finally hauled away as everyone watched on.
Deep in the night, Alyssa was enjoying her facial mask as she lit her handmade rose-scented incense
sticks and lay in the bathtub full of rose petals. She was ready for rejuvenation and relaxation after
many
tiring days.
“Oooh, that feels good,” she whispered to herself. Her toes curled in delight, and her eyes narrowed
with contentment. She felt like she deserved either the company of a man or a soothing bath in her life.
She was interrupted by a call from Sean. He was working overtime at the hotel instead of escorting her

tomorrow.
“Sean, let’s discuss work tomorrow if you can’t manage to finish everything on time. Go home and get
some rest,” she spoke to Sean on speaker as she played with the floating petals in the bath.
‘Ms. Alyssa, I… um… I witnessed something just now, and I thought you should know,” Sean began
hesitantly, his voice tinged with concern. “But promise me you’ll stay calm.”
“Pshh, I’ve encountered my fair share of situations in life. Just tell me what’s going on.”
Sean took a deep breath and disclosed, “I saw Landon Harper checking in at the hotel with Lauren
Beckett just a little while ago.”
Alyssa immediately sat up in the bath, “What did you just say? Who’s checking in at the hotel? With
whom?
“Landon Harper and Lauren Beckett. I’m sure I got the right person. He checked into a room with her.”
Alyssa inhaled sharply before letting out an anguished growl, “That fucking animal! Get me a gun! I’ll
shoot
that bastard in the crotch!”
