Chapter 685
“Where are you going, Mr. Beckett?” Xavier asked hurriedly.
Jasper paused in his footsteps to answer. “To Lyse’s side while she helps her family.”
It didn’t matter if she didn’t love or cherish him. All that mattered to Jasper was being able
to hold her in
his heart and fill his life with her.
After the incident from decades ago was released, with help from whoever leaked it online,
terrible
rumors and gossip about Lyla bubbled and overflowed uncontrollably yet again.
The journalists swarmed KS World hotel like a plague of locusts. Even the forums and
netizens had a
change of topic.
“Do we really not need to pay to see this shit? Who had known an A-list actress could ever
have such a
demeaning side to her?”

“All of you youngsters weren’t born yet when this happened, but I was there. Lyla Nelson
pissed herself as
a side effect of getting addicted to drugs! She quit the acting industry because of it!”
“Really? That’s so shocking!”
“Why would Winston Taylor want someone like her? The Taylor family is elite and
influential-how could
they accept someone with such a terrible history?”
“They even hosted a birthday party for Lyla! Alyssa Taylor must be so angry right now.”
Alyssa ran to the hall while reading the comments. Her anger continued to grow fiercer,
and her grip on
the phone was so tight that it nearly cracked the screen.
Outside the door, Jonah, Silas, and Cyrus were in the middle of discussing something.
“Jonah! Silas! Cyrus!” Alyssa cried tensely.
“Lyse?” The three men turned to her in an instant.
“Where’s Lyla? How are things right now?” Alyssa asked, panting heavily.
“Dad’s already sent a team of bodyguards to escort the women out.” Jonah took out a
handkerchief to dry the sweat on Alyssa’s forehead.
“They should be in the parking lot by now. We’ll stay behind to deal with the crowd.”
“But what about Lyla? How is she doing?” Alyssa asked, pushing Jonaly’s hand away. All
she cared about
right now was Lyla.
The three brothers shared a gaze and shook their heads.
“Lyla was deathly pale when she left. She was shaking from head to toe, too,” Silas sighed.
“That incident had traumatized her for so long, after all. It must have been extra difficult
to have that
shoved in her face on such an important day for her.”
“Fucking hell!” Cyrus cussed.
“I’m going to call the Division and have the Cybersecurity Department find the
motherfucker who released
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat news!”
“Stay calm, Cyrus,” Jonah quipped sternly.
“You’re a government officer. You can’t use your authority to look into something that’s at
most a
personal matter. That would be a grave mistake on your part.”
Realizing this, Cyrus quickly reeled himself back in. He had a hard time controlling himself,
given how hot-
headed he could be.
Thankfully, his elder brother was here to keep him in check and stop him from going down
the wrong path.
All of a sudden, there was a loud crash, followed by the sound of falling glass.
In a fit of rage, Alyssa had punched the fire alarm’s glass shield.
“Ahh! Don’t, Lyse!”
The three men, who were usually so calm and composed in the face of danger, were
suddenly reduced to
panicked, squawking boys in front of their baby sister. They immediately rushed to her
side.
