Alyssa, Jasper, and the others followed Newton back to Crescent Bay villa. Newton

enthusiastically held Jasper and Alyssa’s hands with each of his, refusing to let go at all.

Not only that, he cussed out Javier and Sophia with creative, colorful language during the

trip. Alyssa even worried that he would get exhausted from all the name-calling.

After venting his anger, Newton started feeling bad for Jasper. He moaned and sighed

about his poor grandson while discreetly trying to put Jasper’s hand on top of Alyssa’s.

Jasper smiled at Alyssa from beside Newton as his heart exploded in joy. She noticed his

passionate

eyes but merely pressed her lips and ignored him.

Her indifference worried him, and he tried to hold her hand. All of a sudden, the warmth in

his hand

disappeared as she had removed her hand.

He gazed up and accidentally met her eyes. She was glaring at him as though she would

skin him alive.

Jasper resigned to the current situation. It seemed that he had failed to hold her hand.

Nevertheless, het

was happy enough that she had shown up for him. He dared not ask for more.

“Jasper, you should really thank Alice for tonight. If she hadn’t told me that your dad beat

you, I wouldn’t

have rushed over in time!” Newton said knowingly and blinked at Jasper.

Newton added, “See, Alice cares about you, you little rascal. You should thank her for

saving your life.”

“Lyse, thank you,” Jasper tenderly spoke to Alyssa.

She was jolted by the affectionate gaze and responded with a faint smile, “You should

thank Lauren

Instead of me.”

This revelation surprised both Newton and Jasper. “Lauren?”

Alyssa put on a cold expression as she explained, “Yes, it was Lauren who called me and

informed me

about the situation. I then alerted Grandpa. I was just lending a helping hand. Mr. Beckett,

please don’t

read too much into it.”

“The fact that you told Grandpa about it shows that you still care for me,” Jasper

shamelessly pointed out.

Alyssa could deny her intention as much as she liked, but he’d somehow find a way to

prove that she

cared.

She snickered at him. “Sure, if you’d like to think so.”

Newton sighed. “Oh, so that was what happened. My dear Lauren is a kind and helpful

soul. She might not have grown up by my side, but thankfully, she did not turn into a

rotten apple living with that witch.

“On the other hand, Betty has been spoiled rotten by my son, who couldn’t tell right from

wrong. She

hasn’t learned anything good from her mom and nearly landed herself in prison. My hair

almost turned grey fretting about her scandals!”

Alyssa chimed in, “Lauren’s a good kid. She was closest to me when I was living with the

Becketts, and

she was always kind to me.”

The mention of Lauren brought back memories of her marriage, which once again brought

her heartache.

Nevertheless, she remained composed and added, “I could even say that I wouldn’t have

survived my

time at Seaview Manor without Lauren’s companionship.”

Newton picked up her undertone. Feeling sorry for Alyssa, he shot a disapproving look at

Jasper. Jasper’s

eyes dimmed as he put on a troubled expression, filled with remorse and pain.

“Grandpa, I have something that I’m not sure if I should discuss with you. If it’s

inappropriate, just forget

about it,” Alyssa said hesitantly.

Jasper hurriedly reassured her, “Don’t worry. You can talk about anything you want-nothing

is off-limits.”
