Chapter 113
Alyssa tossed and turned throughout the night. Whenever she closed her eyes, her mind would be filled with Jasper’s charming look. She could feel his fingers on her waist vividly.
The thought made her sit up in bed suddenly. Why would her mind go there when they were
divorced?
Finally, she slept for two hours and went rowing for an hour in the morning to suppress her desire. After that, Sean prepared a hearty breakfast for her.
She looked troubled while eating her bread and eggs and drinking her coffee.
“Ms. Alyssa, are you bothered by Ella’s case?” Sean grabbed a napkin and gently helped her to wipe away the crumbs and oil on her fingers. His elegance could match that of a royal footman.
“I hate the feeling of losing.” She inhaled sharply and narrowed her eyes. However, she did not vocalize the rest of her thoughts–that she hated the feeling of being under Jasper’s control
“How do you plan to deal with Betty Beckett?” Sean asked.
“I need some time to think over it. We need to settle the matter before the controversy dies down.”
Right then, her phone buzzed on the table. Her eyes widened when she saw the caller ID. It was a
call from Winston
“Winston, anything wrong with you?” She picked up and questioned him anxiously
“Tsk, what’s with that tone? You make it sound like I’m dying.” Winston smacked his lips and
coughed softly. “Um, when are you coming home? Your stepmoms are throwing a celebration for
you.”
“A celebration?” She was puzzled.
“Weren’t you in the news for being a Good Samaritan? The videos were all over TikTok. You know,
the ones about the Prettiest Angel.”
God! Alyssa rubbed her forehead when he brought up the “Prettiest Angel” topic.
“Your stepmoms want a celebration because they think you made the family proud.
Just when Alyssa was fretting over the fact that she went viral, her family appeared to be happily
*Fine. I’ll be home after two days when I’m done with work,” she replied.
“By the way,” Winston muttered sternly, “has that rascal Axel recently returned?”
“Yeah.” She had no choice but to be truthful.
