Chapter 734

David was furious, “Are you saying I gave him a chance to humiliate me?”

The secretary immediately explained, “No, no, no! I’m just ticked off on your behalf! You’re

the one Mr.

Victor picked for Alyssa, after all!”

“I don’t require you to be angry on my behalf. I need you to find a solution for me!” David

snapped. He was

visibly agitated as his eyes reddened, and his hands started to tremble.

Seeing this, the secretary hurriedly brought another glass of whiskey, which David

promptly downed. His

composure gradually returned, and his hands stopped shaking.

He looked all aristocratic in public. But who would have thought he relied on strong liquor

“He made e you uncomfortable. You should return the favor. At least, don’t let him enjoy

his date with

Alyssa so smoothly,” the secretary whispered.

David’s eyes lit up. After a pause, he motioned for the secretary to come closer. “I’ve got

an idea. Get on it

right away.”

Jasper couldn’t reach Alyssa’s phone, and Jonah couldn’t provide her whereabouts, leaving

him in

distress. Due to excessive anxiety, he even developed tinnitus, with his heart beating

irregularly.

“Mr. Beckett, there’s an important event for Mr. Javier. You’re to attend it right away. Since

you’ve

recovered, making a public appearance is crucial,” Xavier emphasized.

Jasper remained silent as he stared blankly at his dark phone screen. “Mr. Beckett, you can

but don’t let it mess with your head.”

Xavier sighed, “I get that you worry about Ms. Alyssa, but she’s an adult and can take care

of herself. What

could happen? This isn’t like you, You should prioritize your career.”

Jasper frowned, “Do you think it’s wrong for me to care about her?”

Xavier cleared his throat and said, “It’s not that I

“Remember how I used to be? I was a workaholic, always focused on my job. I had a wife,

but I didn’t

heights because you knew that without power, you wouldn’t be able to protect those

around you. Your pursuit of success was also for accountability to your mother!” Xavier

persuaded anxiously.

Jasper’s gaze slightly narrowed. Thinking of his mother’s tragic death, a wave of heartache

overwhelmed

him, making him feel suffocated.

‘Besides, you have to juggle both. You’re too focused on pleasing Ms. Alyssa and have

neglected your

career. What if you end up worse off than Ms. Alyssa in the future?”

Xavier smirked. “You want to be a kept man? Being one doesn’t let you hold your head

high.”

Jasper squinted his eyes as a hint of restlessness surged in his chest. Xavier’s words were

harsh, but they

were not without truth.

“Get the car. We’re leaving now.”
