Chapter 569
Alyssa reflexively held Jasper when he fell toward the ground. She was startled by the
warm liquid on her hands. When she slowly unfurled her palm, she was shocked by the
massive amount of blood.
Then, she noticed the long, humiliating lash marks on Jasper’s broad back. His white shirt
was now
stained red from the bleeding.
Unable to contain her anger, her eyes flashed with fury as she questioned, “Jasper, are
you okay?”
Covered in sweat, he lay in her arms and muttered, “Are you worried about me?”
“Bullshit!” she blurted out without thinking.
His heart raced with delight as he grinned. “Thank you, Lyse.”
Feeling angry, she hissed at him, “Shut up! You’re badly injured. Stop talking. I don’t want
to hear a word
from you.”

Alyssa’s sudden appearance left everyone in astonishment. Lauren, who had witnessed
the entire
incident from the sidelines, welled up with tears at Alyssa’s timely intervention,
On the other hand, Sophia and Betty wore disapproving scowls.
“Mr. Javier, your place seems pretty merry today. I would have missed the Battle of the
Bastards if !
arrived a second later,” Alyssa taunted him with a sly grin, sending a piercing look at
Javier that would
even startle Jon Snow,
The servants, who understood the reference, laughed discreetly. Alyssa held tight onto
Jasper and smiled
lazily. “They always say not to air your dirty laundry. Until today, I’ve never seen a father
deliberately
hitting his son in front of many witnesses.
“Why don’t you strip Jasper naked instead and parade him at the gates of Seaview Manor?
I’ll invite all the
Solana City reporters to cover the spectacle and catapult you to fame.”
Her snarkiness elicited more muffled laughter from the servants. Jasper was left
speechless and amused
by her witty retorts. It seemed that Alyssa had been using her free time to think up
creative ways to get
back at him.
Javier harbored a deep resentment for Alyssa. He wondered how Winston had raised such
an impudent
and Ill-mannered daughter.

His flesh had been bared, and the lashes tugged at old wounds. Nerves twitched, and his
bones felt as if
they might give away, but he persevered.

“I’m not in the wrong.” Jasper hissed and raised his chin.
“You insolent brat!” Just as Javier was about to strike again, two familiar figures suddenly
appeared. A
clear, commanding female voice cut through the tense air. “Stop it!”
All eyes turned immediately to the door. Meanwhile, Jasper was drenched in sweat from
the whipping, his
face drained of color.
In his blurred vision, he saw Alyssa. Her beauty acted as an instant shot of adrenaline for
him. Even on
the brink of death, her presence had the power to revive him.
“Alyssa…” he mumbled. She stormed up to him. As she drew near, he hesitated for a
moment before
closing his eyes and collapsing into her arms, wearing a faint smile.
