“I appreciate the thought, Mrs. Hodgson.” Alyssa nodded kindly. “But I’m a divorcee with

intention of iemarrying anytime soon. I’d only waste you and your son’s time in that

regard.”

“Oh, never! So what if you’ve divorced? You’re still a gorgeous, strong young woman, far

more formidable than many other women your age!”

Betty’s cheeks grew hot with embarrassment and anger upon hearing this. She shot

Alyssa a hateful glare, feeling like a fading star beside a bright sun. With Alyssa around,

shone.

Alyssa and Sean soon left in the golf cart, leaving the Becketts to their mess.

“Well, Javier, I take it you’d understand if we call this partnership quits. There will be

better

opportunities in the future.” Orlander nodded at Javier, then quickly left with his wife.

If he insisted on giving Javier this project, nothing good would come. His entire reputation

might

be dragged through the dirt.

Meanwhile, while Javier was getting a headache trying to resolve the current situation, he

turned

around to find that his son had long disappeared.

Alyssa had changed out of her golf clothes into her sleek and elegant office wear. She

stepped out

The moment she turned the corner, she came face to face with Jasper. His gaze was dark

when

she looked up at him, but she wasn’t intimidated one bit.

“Are you some kind of peeping Tom, Mr. Beckett?”

“I’m not letting you get the Verdane Valley project, Alyssa Taylor.”

Alyssa smirked, the movement of her lips making heat lick in Jasper’s stomach. He

continued,

This project belongs to me. You won’t get an inch near it.”

“Oh? What do you have planned then? Thanks to Sophia and Henry Kirkman, your family’s

scandal

is breaking news now. The Bureau’s not going to let this go anytime soon.

“That means you guys won’t be able to get your hands on any projects for the time being.

“What happened to have nothing to do with one another after the divorce? Have you

He continued, “Will triggering and upsetting me to no end make you happy? Is that what

you need

to finally get over your anger?”

“Aha. I knew it.” Alyssa sneered. “Why did you stand up for me earlier, hm? Don’t you

know how

disgusting two–faced cowards are?”

The word struck Jasper’s heart like a molten stake. All he felt was anger–anger and

aggravation.

How was it that this woman always managed to cross his anger thresholds every time?

“Don’t… make me hurt you, Alyssa,” Jasper hissed, leaning into her. “Don’t think I’d go

Alyssa blinked slowly, not the least bit angry. In fact, she even seemed excited. “There we

Jasper. An opponent always makes this game fun. I should probably tell you a secret then.”

She leaned over to his ear, then whispered, “I was the one who gave the authorities

Jasper was left alone in the changing rooms, feeling like the wind had been punched out of

him.
