Jonah looked down at his screen. “Speak of the devil,” he mumbled when he saw Jasper’s name
on the screen.
“Mr. Beckett,” he greeted coldly after answering the call.
Silas frowned immediately. He leaned forward just to listen to the phone conversation.
“Mr. Taylor, I’m looking for Alice. I’d like to talk to her about something.” Jasper’s deep voice was
tinged with a trace of anxiety.
“Alice is busy with something else right now.”
“When is she available to talk, then?“.
“She’ll always be busy when it comes to you.”
Jonah had always been nice and polite. But he’d always go for his target’s weak spot whenever he
started insulting them.
Silas clenched his fists excitedly. He was cheering his older brother on.
Meanwhile, Jasper fell silent, his expression now stormy.
“First of all, the fact that Alice changed her phone number means she doesn’t want you to contact

“My bottom line will always be Alice,” he said “This will be the last time I pick up your call. Mr. Beckett. Consider this my final warning as well. Keep your fiancée and your family under control
“Don’t you

When Jonah was done speaking, he hung up on Jasper immediately
Back in Seaview Manor, Jasper stood before the window while staring at his phone. He slowly tightened his grip around it. He could feel his heart throbbing in pain once again
He relied on Jonah to contact Alice, but now, that connection was severed. For the first time ever,
It was already past midnight. Yet there was still someone at the huge workshop in Stellus.
