The Taylor family members were flabbergasted when they saw Jameson getting out of Winston's car.
Alyssa frowned.
Winston was an arrogant man who always sat on his high horse. No one from the younger generation
except his children had ever sat in his car.
Jasper was the most reputable, capable, and influential person in Solana City. Yet Winston had never
thought that Jasper was worth his time.
However, as of this moment, it seemed that Jameson had successfully gotten close to Winston.
Anyone would be lying if they weren't shocked.
If Alyssa remembered correctly, Winston used to be cold to Jameson. What was with the 180-degree
change in his attitude after merely a few days?
"Lyse, you look so much better. That's great."
A gentle smile appeared in Jameson's eyes. He walked toward Alyssa with a vibrant bouquet of pink
roses in his hand and gave them to her. "This is to celebrate your getting discharged from the hospital."
Alyssa looked at the beautiful roses before her. Her eyes fluttered slightly.
"Thank you, Jimmy." She took the bouquet.

Jameson's eyes glistened like a shiny diamond.
Everyone present exchanged glances. The atmosphere was subtle.
"Thank you for thinking of me, but you didn't have to do this." Alyssa held the roses in her hand as her
lips parted slightly. An inexplicable glint rested in her eyes.
"I will do anything for you." Jameson looked at her deeply, unable to hide his tenderness for her.
Alyssa pursed her lips. She didn't know what to say. The blatant confession from him was a more
intense move than the roses in her hand.
Jasper witnessed the interaction between Alyssa and Jameson. He felt a bitter and painful prick in his
dry throat. He could taste the smell of blood.
The next second, his breath tightened.
He saw Winston's tall and slender figure get out of the Rolls-Royce. He walked to Jameson. They
stood side-by-side like father and son.
Jameson greeted the old man with a warm smile. He had successfully integrated himself into the Taylor
family.
Winston patted his shoulder with a smile. Both of them exchanged a few words. Their relationship had
indeed taken a 180-degree turn.
Jasper's eyes instantly became bloodshot. He punched fiercely into the tree bark.
This wasn't fair!
Yet, what could he have done even if he had walked over? Help clean the Taylor family's eyes? And
risk upsetting Alyssa?
He couldn't bear to hurt her anymore. That could never happen.
"Pfft, and I was wondering if you had what it took, Mr. Beckett. You can only stay here helplessly,
simmering in your anger."
A sharp, mocking voice came from behind him.
Jasper slowly turned around. He was met with Axel's mocking yet dark eyes.
"The high and mighty Mr. Beckett is nothing more than a mere loser." Axel hated Jasper. He didn't
spare Jasper any mockery.
Axel was protective of his sister. He only cared about relationships and wasn't one to be reasoned with.
It didn't matter if it was a good or bad person. Anyone who hurt his dear sister was guilty of high

"I know I should never appear in Lyse's life again. But can't I just look at her from a distance?" Jasper's
voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep the past few days. He would lay in bed with his eyes wide open
every night until the day broke.
His heart felt like it had run dry.
Axel squinted his eyes slightly. He stood beside him and looked at Alyssa. "Honestly, I really hate you,
Jasper."
Jasper pursed his lips slightly. He looked down silently.
"But I'm not a fan of that Schmidt guy either. My sister is a good person. I'm not sure what she did to be
so unlucky with men. I can't help but worry for her as an older brother."
Axel stared at Jameson angrily. He scowled.
"I don't know what's wrong with Winston. I just complimented him for having good taste not long ago.
Now, I have to take my words back. If he gives Alyssa's hand to this Schmidt guy, I'll snatch her back
myself."
Jasper was rendered speechless.
