However, Sean lost his composure and teared up when he saw Jonah and Julien tagging along with
Alyssa and Jasper. What had he done to deserve their concern?
"Sean." Jonah grinned, lightening up the mood. "You must have suffered. We're here to take you
home."
"Mr. Jonah—" Sean choked on his tears and struggled to speak.
All of a sudden, Alyssa dashed over to face off with Sean before Jasper could react to it. Jasper's heart
raced upon seeing that, and he tensed up.

"Why did you admit to your guilt?" Panting heavily, she blushed in anger.
Sean grappled with the piercing pain upon hearing her question. His dry lips parted. "Ms. Alyssa... I'm

Rage colored her teary eyes. She lifted her arm, ready to punch Sean in the face.

Giving her a back hug, Jasper soothed her, "Lyse, calm down. Sean is free, and that's all that matters

"I know you're worried sick for him, but he must have suffered for days. Why don't we let him rest at

the only person who could handle the sassy and rash Alyssa.
A car was waiting for them at the entrance. They were about to see Sean off when he suddenly spun
