Chapter 99
“What?”
Jasper widened his eyes immediately. His fork clattered on the floor.
When Alyssa noticed how alarmed he looked, her heart nank.
“Ms. Gardner threw a fit at home earlier while screaming your name, Mr. Beckett. She’s emotionally unstable right now. Madam Sophia has requested you to visit her as soon as you can. She’s worried that Ms. Gardner might harm herself-
Before Xavier could finish, Jasper got up. He bolted out of the dining room immediately.
“You ingrate! I’ll disown you if you dare visit that Gardner woman!” Newton slammed a hand on
the dining table furiously.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Jasper’s silhouette had already disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Goodness, why am I stuck with an ingrate as my grandson? I’ve achieved so much in my lifetime,
yet I can’t save your marriage! Oh, Alice, this is all my fault!”
Newton shook his head with a heavy sigh. He felt nothing but guilt when he looked at Alyssa once
again.
Alyssa’s eyes were clear and calm. She smiled lightly before placing her cool palm on Newton’s
wrinkled hand.
“Don’t say that, Grandpa. You’ve done more than enough for my sake. Jasper and I just aren’t
meant to be.”
Meanwhile, Jasper got ready to get into his car while looking quite worried.
“Mr. Beckett!”
He stopped in his tracks immediately and turned around to look at Alice.
She had run out of the villa. The glint in her red–rimmed eyes was very obvious under the bright
light.
For some reason, Jasper felt slightly guilty when he met her eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Alyssa interrupted him.
“Please inform Ms. Betty on my behalf that I won’t let her off the hook. After all, she did humiliate
my employee and caused her to have a sudden seizure. Ms. Betty must take responsibility for
what happened.”

to bring up that matter
The hopetal glint in his eyes disappeared immediately.
Setty may be my sister. But I don’t really interfere with her private matters.”
“So this is a private matter to you, huh? Fine. I get what you mean.”
Alyssa’s lips curled into a cold smirk before she started making her way back to the villa. She no
longer bothered to look at Jasper after that.
Jasper felt uneasy at that moment. He could feel a shiver running down his spine.
Was Alyssa making fun of him?
That night, Jasper visited Liana, who apparently suffered from severe depression. He stayed at her
place till midnight before he was finally able to go home.
Jesper was still mindful of what Liana had done to Alice. Still, he pitied her when he saw the medical report detailing her ment*l illness.
The subject of depression would forever haunt him, after all.
“Something happened. Mr. Beckett. Would you like me to deal with it?” Xavier asked hesitantly
