Pinching Alyssa’s chin between his fingers, Jasper leaned forward and kissed her

aggressively. Hist

tongue forced its way into her mouth and passionately tangoed with hers.

Landon and Xavier were trapped in a seemingly endless wait on the first floor. Xavier

paced nervously, casting occasional glances of the second floor.

Meanwhile, Landon sat on the couch with a grim expression and stared down at the

surveillance footage

that played on his phone. He replayed the scene where Zoe had bullied Lauren a couple of

times. His

anger grew with each replay.

“Mr. Harper, what are you watching? You look serious,” Xavier wondered and went up to

Landon.

Landon shot him a death glare and waved him away, saying, “Go away. I don’t air my dirty

laundry.”

Stunned by Landon’s anger, Xavier retreated right away. Landon went back to watching

the footage.

His heart ached at Lauren’s reflex reaction-she had curled up into a ball and wrapped her

arms around

her head when Zoe had approached her.

Wait a minute! He furrowed his brows and examined Lauren’s response. Why did she

exhibit symptoms of

PTSD? Could she have been a victim of abuse at home?

Could her response to Zoe be rooted in her trauma from Betty’s abuse? Was that the

reason?

“When did you get here? Why didn’t you let me know?” Alyssa broke the

the silence as she d

stairs. Startled by the two silent men in the living room, she tried to calm her breathing.

Landon quickly stowed his phone away and flashed her a knowing grin. “Well, we didn’t

want to intrude on

your intimate time together. It’s not often that you two get to meet. We didn’t want to

stand in the way.”

“What intimate time?” she exclaimed and glared at him, feeling the urge to wipe that grin

from his face by

hitting him with her heels.

Landon crossed his legs and turned around, resting his chin in his palm. He studied her

keenly and raised an amused brow at her moist lips and blushing cheeks.

He thought, “Oh Jasper, you must have gotten some action. You’re just a horny, shameless

man beneath that stoic exterior!”

“Madam, you’re finally here! There’s hope for Mr. Beckett!” Xavier exclaimed and stared at

Alyssa with

She didn’t bother to correct how Xavier had addressed her. Instead, she told him sternly,

“Mr. Hall, the relapse of internal injuries is the reason behind Mr. Beckett’s fever. We must

take it seriously.

“I’ve just contacted a hospital under KS Group known for high patient confidentiality and

arranged for a head physician to attend to him. Why don’t you and Landon prepare to

send him there right now?”

Xavier nodded with gratitude. “Thank you, Madam! I knew you cared about Mr. Beckett.

You wouldn’t

leave him to his fate.”

“I won’t watch him die, but that doesn’t mean I have feelings for him. Stop making things

up,” she

stubbornly rebuffed Xavier.

Then, she walked down the stairs and approached Landon. When they exchanged glances,

he felt a weird

feeling of pressure.

She said to him, “Mr. Harper, come with me. Let’s have a chat.”
