Chapter 248
Jameson froze up on the spot, his heart clenching painfully for a brief second.
Alyssa had fumed so hard her cheeks had gone flushed again. She glared at Jasper, yelling, “How
low are you stooping now, Jasper Beckett? Let me go now! I am not going anywhere with you!”
Jasper let her scream and pull, never letting go throughout. He felt like nothing more mattered in
this world right now besides taking Alyssa away from this place, from this stranger.
Seeing her being in a room alone with the stranger, having drunk so much, was unbearable for
him. He never expected Alyssa to be capable of something like this.
“Let me go, Jasper, right–ah!”
Jasper bent down and lifted her over his shoulder, hand locking on her waist as he marched
straight for the door.
“Put me down, you jacka–I’m gonna hurl!” Alyssa cried, beating at his shoulder with all her might.
Her stomach was churning so badly. She was going to retch at any time.
“I’m not stopping you.” Jasper eyed her sternly and continued walking on, not even a hint of
compassion in his tone.
That was punishment for her behavior tonight, he thought.
He thought Alyssa was such a heartless cheat.
Jameson watched silently as the two left, a flush of anger slowly rising in his expression.
“Bastards will be bastards,” he muttered
“What should we do now, Mr. Schmidt? Should I follow them?” his secretary asked.
“Have someone else trail them.” Jameson traced his finger across the rim of the glass Alyssa had
drunk from, her lipstick soft against his skin.
“It really came as a surprise that Jasper Beckett is actually married!” The secretary cried in
disbelief. “When was their wedding? Not a whisper of this news was ever made public!”
