Chapter 276
Sean and Jasper tensed up in confrontation.
“Oh, Mr. Beckett. I wonder if I should callthis a pleasant coincidence or bad luck,”Sean was smiling but harsh with his words.
“Is Alyssa Taylor in there?”Jasperquestioned with a scowl. Liana’s heart was racing, and she went numb at the mention of Alyssa’s name.
“Why? Can’t she be here?”Sean smirkedand retorted,”It’s not like you booked the entire garden to yourself.”
“Tsk, Mr. Beckett did nothing except ask aquestion! What’s with your attitude?”Xavier chided Sean.
“Really? It’s pretty shameless of you tomake that claim. You’re giving me second-hand embarrassment,” Sean mocked him
with a frown.
“You _”
“Enough, Xavier,”Jasper stopped Xavier.Then, he questioned flatly,”What’s Alyssa doing here?”
Sean’s cold gaze swept past Liana, who was clinging to Jasper. With an arched brow, he snickered.”She’s here for the same reason as you are!”
Jasper’s f rown deepened after learning that. Alyss a had indeed developed an interest in the rose garden. Too bad he would never let her have it!
…
At the same time, Alyssa had ventured deeper into the bushes, holding the hem of her skirt. She looked like a dainty fairy underneath the colors of the sunset.
She squatted in the mud without much fuss and pinched the soil with her hands. She carefully observed the stems and
petals, even taking photos with her phone and making detailed notes.
The other young ladies at the rose garden were there for the view and the photo-taking. Only Alyss a appeared to be on her treasure hunt.
