“Thanks. Sorry for the trouble,” said Jasper.

“Why did you suddenly think of hiking this year?” Xavier wondered.

I go hiking every year,” Jasper answered flatly.

When he was younger, he had once spent one summer volunteering at Crater

Mountain Park to relieve his

stress.

Life was simple back then, consisting only of eating, sleeping, and hiking with

Elijah to assist hikers or

check for safety concerns.

Such peaceful moments had been rare in his life.

When he was appointed president of the Beckett Group, he’d make a hefty

annual donation to the park,

which was unknown to most except for himself and Elijah.

“Mr. Beckett, did you catch Ada Kingsley’s wedding? Wow! Madam was

incredible!” Xavier gushed with

admiration. “How did she come up with the idea of using black roses as

decorations? I’m surprised Adal

agreed to it!”

Jasper’s eyes narrowed as he whispered, “That’s because Alyssa is no ordinary woman.

That little muffin

always has a solution for everything.”

That prompted Xavier to widen his eyes and stare at Jasper agape. Had he misheard? His

boss had

called Madam a little muffin.

That was a rather abrupt departure from Jasper’s usual stoic manner, revealing his more

affectionate side.

As a result of Jasper and Newton’s involvement, Simon Lynch’s appointment to the

Director of Legal

Affairs position had been aborted.

Simon, whose life was smooth sailing, tasted defeat for the first time. He took a month off

traveling in

Sedona for some headspace be ore coming home.

At home, he bumped into Sean, who had waited for that moment for one week.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Alyssa’s loyal labrador,” Simon remarked with a hint of mockery.

“What brings you

back home? I thought you’d be working your ass off for her.”

“Don’t you have anything to inform me?” Sean confronted him, ignoring the taunt.

“Sean, is this how you talk to your brother?” Simon was on the verge of exploding in

anger, having bottled

up his emotions for a while.

*You assisted Sophia Kirkman last time, and now you’ve taken on Betty Beckett as your

latest client. Your

work ethic is certainly something, taking on all the dirty jobs you can.” Sean clenched his

fists and

sneered.

“Sean Lynch!”

“I know it’s your goal to be the pride of the family by reaching heights in your career, but

you shouldn’t

have achieved your goals by betrayal!” Sean growled in fury, “We wouldn’t be where we

are today without

the Taylors. You’re heartless for helping the Becketts go against Ms. Alyssa!”

“Heartless? I’m doing it for the sake of our family!” Feeling aggrieved, Simon

did not think he was in the

wrong.

He argued, “Do we have to work under the Taylors after they helped us that

once? That’s ridiculous! You made your choice to serve Alyssa, but Steven and I

have greater ambitions. Not everyone dreams of

marrying into a rich family!”

Sean could not take it anymore and punched Simon’s face. It marked the first

time in 28 years that he

resorted to physical violence against his brother.

Once, Simon had been a source of pride for Sean, but now he had become

nothing short of an

embarrassment.

Simon furiously returned the punch, leaving the household servants in shock as

the two brothers engaged

in a fight right there in the living room.

Sadly for Simon, he proved no match for Sean, a Taekwondo black belt holder

who stood tall at six feet two inches. Before long, Simon found himself thrown

to the floor and crushed by his younger brother.

“Sean, stop it!”

Their parents and Steven happened to come down from the second floor and

were taken aback by the

scene.
