David was furious, “Are you saying I gave him a chance to humiliate me?”
The secretary immediately explained, “No, no, no! I’m just ticked off on your behalf! You’re
the one Mr.
Victor picked for Alyssa, after all!”
“I don’t require you to be angry on my behalf. I need you to find a solution for me!” David
snapped. He was
visibly agitated as his eyes reddened, and his hands started to tremble.
Seeing this, the secretary hurriedly brought another glass of whiskey, which David
promptly downed. His
composure gradually returned, and his hands stopped shaking.

his date with
Alyssa so smoothly,” the secretary whispered.
David’s eyes lit up. After a pause, he motioned for the secretary to come closer. “I’ve got
an idea. Get on it
right away.”
Jasper couldn’t reach Alyssa’s phone, and Jonah couldn’t provide her whereabouts, leaving
him in
distress. Due to excessive anxiety, he even developed tinnitus, with his heart beating
irregularly.
“Mr. Beckett, there’s an important event for Mr. Javier. You’re to attend it right away. Since
you’ve

Jasper remained silent as he stared blankly at his dark phone screen. “Mr. Beckett, you can

around you. Your pursuit of success was also for accountability to your mother!” Xavier
persuaded anxiously.
Jasper’s gaze slightly narrowed. Thinking of his mother’s tragic death, a wave of heartache
overwhelmed
him, making him feel suffocated.
‘Besides, you have to juggle both. You’re too focused on pleasing Ms. Alyssa and have
neglected your
career. What if you end up worse off than Ms. Alyssa in the future?”
Xavier smirked. “You want to be a kept man? Being one doesn’t let you hold your head
high.”
Jasper squinted his eyes as a hint of restlessness surged in his chest. Xavier’s words were
harsh, but they
were not without truth.
“Get the car. We’re leaving now.”
