"Jasper, although Justin is recuperating in Mosgravia, you shouldn't let your guard down. Your last
contract signing with Jesselton Incorporated was his debut. Since he took action, it means he'll be back
sooner or later," Alyssa expressed her concern for Jasper.
"Lyse, are you genuinely afraid I'll be living off you?" Jasper teased.
"I'm being serious!"
"I'm not afraid of Justin's return or confronting him head-on. Under fair competition, I have no
complaints if he wants to take back what belongs to him."
Alyssa knew that the kidnapping case from years ago weighed heavily on Jasper. He still felt indebted
to Justin.
"But if he uses dirty tricks, I won't go easy on him. Taylor Group won this horse racing event. Ezzo

by."
Jasper's low and charming voice lightly echoed in her ear. "With me around, you don't have to worry."
Lyla didn't go on vacation like she said she would. Instead, she stayed home, taking care of Winston
and cooking for her family as usual.
Her life remained unchanged despite Sophia's fall from grace. It was still peaceful and serene.
She was grateful to Alyssa for avenging her, but now she had a husband, family, and daughter. Hatred
had become insignificant in her eyes.
Alyssa drank the nourishing soup that Lyla had made for her contentedly.
The three ladies surrounded Alyssa. Only after they found that she looked fine did they feel at ease.
"It seems that dumbass is taking good care of you."
Colene rested her chin on her hand and shook her head while clicking her tongue. "Right? I truly
admire Jasper. A privileged heir willingly becoming a homemaker for you is no small sacrifice."
"Indeed, Winston would never do the same. He's too proud for that," Mandy joked.
Alyssa wore a smug expression, feeling like she had hit the jackpot.
"Lyse, be patient and wait a little longer. I think Winston has been considering your relationship with
Jasper. He's just too proud to change his tune."
Lyla's words surprised the other three ladies. They were delighted.
"Really?"
"Before this, Winston favored Jameson and has been creating opportunities for you and Jameson.
After the recent horse racing event, I sense that Winston is not rejecting Jasper as much anymore.
"Moreover, that day, he made it clear to Jameson that he wouldn't intervene in your relationship with

Overjoyed, Alyssa downed another large bowl of soup.
Things were finally looking up.
"Madam Lyla, Ms. Tatiana, and Mr. Lynch are here. They're in the living room downstairs," Barry
reported.
Lyla's expression stiffened slightly. "Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
"You don't look good, Lyla. Is something wrong?" Alyssa, perceptive as ever, noticed Lyla's unease.
Lyla didn't know how to begin, but Colene jumped in, saying, "Winston knows about Sean and Taty. He
disagrees with their marriage.
"Besides, Sean's brother is serving as Sophia's defense attorney. His father, Judge Lynch, also
supports his son in serving the Beckett Group. Winston is even more displeased now."
