Chapter 874

Cornelius had roped Landon into a meeting at the Harper Group building. However, midway through

the discussion, Landon’s phone rang with urgency-it was Jasper, insisting on an immediate meetup at

Jasper’s villa by Phoenix Lake.

Due to the urgent nature of Jasper’s call, Landon left the meeting under everyone’s scrutiny and raced

the villa.

“What the hell?” Before entering the villa, Landon observed a plume of smoke on top of the structure

like an impending volcanic explosion. Turning pale, he hurried into the villa and found Jasper burning

stuff in the backyard.

Standing by a metal container, Jasper appeared pale and troubled. He bathed in the glow of the flames

the container, resembling a solitary statue amid the remnants of a war.

Alarmed by the chaotic scene, Landon approached him. “Jasper, what’s going on? What are you

burning?”

When Landon spoke, Jasper tossed another item into the fire. Landon took a good look and realized it

was a photo of Jasper with Liana.

Jasper questioned, “Did you bring me to this villa after I was drugged?”

“Yeah. This is the only place I know. You always hang out here, don’t you?” Landon replied.

Still confused about the situation, he confessed, “I couldn’t send you back to Seaview Manor after what

happened to you. Bringing you to my place was out of the question. This villa seemed like the best

option.”

Jasper looked up. “And did you call Alyssa to come here?”

“Yeah. You mentioned her name when you were barely conscious. I wanted to help you as a friend, so I

lied to her and got her here,” Landon admitted.

He scanned the surroundings and asked, “Hm, where’s Lyse? Has she left?”

A crash ensued. Jasper angrily kicked the metal tin over, and sparks landed on Landon.

Landon hurriedly shielded his face with his arm, but the sparks had burned holes through his expensive

suit, even burning off a part of his bangs.

“What the fuck? Jasper Beckett, are you crazy? Do you want to set me in flames? This is not a

sacrificial ritual!” Landon growled at Jasper while he angrily put out the sparks.

Jasper, still not fully recovered from his injury, rolled his fists and panted. His shirt was soaked i

“Huh?” Julien was surprised at how Jonah addressed him on a first-name basis.

“Will you stay here with Sean until he sends you home, or do you want to go with me?” Jonah asked

sternly.

After a pause, Julien beamed at him. “You didn’t have to ask. I’ll choose you, of course.”

“I’ll choose you, of course.” Jonah felt a pang in his chest upon hearing the declaration. In the past, his

ex- lover had uttered the exact words with determination. “Jonah, whatever happens in the future, I’ll

stand by you. You’re the only one that I will protect with my life.”

The Rolls-Royce headed toward the hospital. Jonah hugged Alyssa tightly throughout the journey and

patiently comforted her with a soothing voice.

“Jonah, I’m in pain …” Alyssa mumbled, her face buried in his chest.

Her heart ached as she cried.

“Lyse, tell me. Where does it hurt?”

She closed her eyes and pointed shakily at her heart. “It hurts here.”

Jonah was shocked. He breathed heavily and clasped her icy hand, knowing only Jasper Beckett could

inflict such pain on Alyssa.
