Even without profanities, Jasper's words were akin to a sharp blade, leaving Alyssa feeling wounded.
"Jasper, I've never trampled on your dignity. Wasn't it you who came to me every time after the
divorce?"
Alyssa's eyes turned slightly red, but she defiantly wore a smirk that could infuriate anyone. She looked
beautiful, yet her demeanor only made hearts ache for her.
"Your dignity is something you didn't want yourself. Now you blame me? Do you have no shame?"
She shouldn't have come. She shouldn't have cared about him.
If only she had known this would happen.
Alyssa thought that Jasper was a scumbag and he deserved whatever that came his way.
Suddenly, Jasper's breathing halted, and he felt a strong dizziness rush to his head. His figure swayed

"Hey! What are you doing?"
Before the words could settle, a stone hit Jasper right on the back of his head.
Jasper felt a sharp pain, and his brows furrowed.
Meanwhile, Julien had already walked over briskly, reaching out to grab the back of Jasper's collar.
But Jasper, with his skills, was as swift as lightning. He sidestepped in a flash, leaving Julien grasping
at thin air.
Julien stumbled forward. With his long limbs, he looked like a praying mantis.
Alyssa, who was initially angry, couldn't help but chuckle at Julien's action.
Frowning, Jasper touched the back of his neck. He tilted his head slightly, radiating a charming yet
sinister presence.
"A sneak attack from behind, and that's all you've got?"
"A sneak attack from behind is better than you acting rogue at night."
Julien dusted himself and got up from the ground. He was still a bit shaken by Jasper's reaction earlier.
"You're divorced, but you're still touching her. Is this what the mighty Beckett Group's president does?"
"What relationship do you have with her?" Jasper glared at Julien.
This weak man dared to lay hands on him for Alyssa. It was evident that he held Alyssa in high regard.
Julien parted his lips but was unsure of how to introduce himself. Just then, Alyssa spoke in a calm
voice. "He's Julien Lovelace, a neurologist I brought from Mosgravia."
Neurologist?
Jasper instantly realized something and fell silent.
"I came here this time not for anything else but for your illness." Alyssa stared at Jasper without any

The distant look in her eyes left Jasper with frustration.
"I'm not ill," he responded coldly.
"You don't need to act tough. You know very well whether you're ill or not."
Alyssa said sternly, "Back then, your head suffered a severe impact. Though I performed surgery, it
wasn't entirely successful. When you get emotionally agitated, your body involuntarily trembles, and
your movements become uncontrollable.
"Over time, you might experience hallucinations, fainting, and in severe cases, even partial paralysis.
Do you want to end up like that? Aren't you afraid Grandpa will be heartbroken if he finds out?"
Julien looked at Alyssa in disbelief.
She performed brain surgery on Jasper? Unbelievable!
