"But no one has forced your wife to meet with Dr. McAlister for drugs. She had developed an addiction
and took the risk of dealing drugs with him at the horseracing event. The decision to step into the trap I
set was entirely hers."
Having stated this, Alyssa exited the police station alongside Jasper, who draped his arm around her
shoulder.
Seeing that, Betty anxiously yelled at Javier, "Dad, are you letting her leave just like that? She got Mom
in trouble!"
Rory, unable to contain himself, calmly took a jab at Betty. "You'll need evidence to support your claims
against Ms. Alyssa. If you can't, you need to be careful with what you say lest she sues you for
slander."
Betty glared at Rory while Javier turned his icy gaze to Cyrus, demanding, "Mr. Cyrus, I'd like to meet
with Captain Holt."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCyrus stood with his back against the wall and crossed his arms on his chest. "He's not around. His
superior asked for him."
"Could you please call him? Tell him to return immediately to meet with me."
"I'm really sorry. As an ordinary policeman, I do not have the right to summon Captain Holt." Yawning,
Cyrus waved dismissively, adding, "Why don't you call him yourself?"
Cyrus' indifferent attitude fueled Javier's rage. As Mandy's son and Alyssa's brother, Cyrus showed no
inclination to humor Javier.
Javier furiously thought, "As expected, the offspring of a second wife is just a good-for-nothing."
Betty had not stopped with her sobbing."Dad, Alyssa is taking advantage of you. We can't let that
woman manipulate us!"
"Absolutely not," Javier gritted his teeth and declared, "I know she wants to marry Jasper, but that's out
of the question. I can never approve of such a calculating woman as my daughter-in-law. I won't allow
it, even if your grandfather accepts her."
During their journey home, Alyssa leaned into Jasper's arms, tracing circles on his chest with her
fingers. She advised him, "You shouldn't let your father cause trouble because of me."
"I'm not afraid to," he replied, rasping as he kissed her forehead.
"Mr. Javier is still the company chairman. Regardless, he has the final say. Aren't you concerned he
might fire you and hand the company to your brother?" she questioned sternly.
"If Javier Beckett decides to give up on me and dismiss me from my role as president, you might have
to be the breadwinner, Ms. Alyssa," he teased with a wry smile.
"Are you thinking of becoming a sugar baby? No one in the Taylor family likes parasites," she remarked
with an arched brow.
"I can do anything that's within my ability. I'm pretty capable, you know." His chest tightened, and she
sensed it.
"What are you capable of?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPinching her waist, he lifted her into his arms and stared at her with desire. Breathing heavily, he said,
"You'll find out when we get home."
Blushing, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.
When the car stopped at the villa's entrance, Xavier opened the car door for Jasper and Alyssa. It was
at that moment he spotted the limited edition black Rolls-Royce by the entrance, looking intimidating
despite the dim environment.
The door of the Rolls-Royce opened just as Jasper emerged with Alyssa in his arms.
The visitor called out to Alyssa, "Lyse."
The young couple was stunned by who they saw. Eyes widened, Alyssa immediately got out of
Jasper's arms. She gasped, "Dad?"
