Chapter 782
“Mr. Javier will definitely be very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and your status in Harper Group will
also get a boost,” Alyssa remarked.
“Do you think I care about that?” Jasper felt like he was going to explode.
“Who cares if you care or not? Don’t mind my business, and I won’t bother with yours. I’m leaving.”
Alyssa came tonight to cause trouble for Sophia, not to be bothered by him.
She just wanted to leave this room as quickly as possible, as being alone with him in this room made
her
feel suffocated.
She was a sensitive woman, easily affected by emotions and prone to sentimental reactions. And in
this
room, when she looked back on her three years of marriage with Jasper, all she could recall were
unpleasant memories.
Moreover, she had lost her virginity in this room. And Jasper, even to this day, still hadn’t remembered

night they spent together.
It was better to forget anyway.
Some things, when remembered, only caused pain.
Alyssa stood up gracefully, treating Jasper as if he were just a mass of air. Without looking at him, she
quickened her pace, wanting to walk past him quickly.
Just as they brushed past each other, Jasper’s face turned frosty. He suddenly grabbed her arm and
forcefully pinned her against the wall.
Alyssa cried out in shock, and her spine was sore from the impact.
In her gaze, Jasper’s bloodshot eyes were simultaneously beautiful and stifling.
“Jasper! Are you cra-”
“Did we have sex before?”
Jasper’s rough yet magnetic voice reached her ears, almost making her blush. Her heart skipped a
beat.” What did you say?”
“Never mind.” Jasper felt his throat turn dry, and he shook his head forcefully.
Alyssa felt that Jasper must have lost his mind. How could he ask her such a provocative question?
“Get off me!”
She didn’t use much force. Given Jasper’s muscular frame of six feet two inches, he should be able to
withstand that kick.
However, to her surprise, he staggered two steps back. He would have fallen if he hadn’t steadied
himself
against the wall.
Alyssa’s pupils contracted, and she could see that Jasper had turned pale, with beads of sweat forming
on his forehead.
She hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Jasper asked hoarsely. “Why are
you here for Sophia?”
“It’s none of your business. I don’t need you to interfere.” Alyssa’s gaze suddenly turned icy.
Jasper experienced a sharp pain in his heart as she regarded him as if he were a stranger. Gritting his

Tonight is not the right time.”
“Why is it not the right time?”
Smiling, Alyssa sat gracefully with her legs crossed. She showed off her dignified charm like a queen.
“Oh, is it because Mr. Cornelius, Mrs. Harper, and your Zoe are all here? Are you afraid I’ll mess up
your
little arrangement?”
Jasper furrowed his brows. “What arrangement?”
“Your marriage discussion.” Alyssa smiled teasingly.
“Alyssa! That’s enough!” Jasper’s chest tightened, his bloodshot eyes glaring at her.
“Congratulations, Mr. Beckett. You’re getting married again.”
Alyssa completely ignored his anger and instead expressed her seemingly sincere blessing. “Ms. Zoe
is
young and beautiful, with a family background that’s so much more prominent than Liana’s. And she’s
Landon’s sister, making it all the more familial.”
