"Were you peeping again?" Jasper questioned.
Alyssa pursed her lips and gripped her coffee cup. "Yeah. I didn't want you
bullied.”
"How did I do? Was I cool?" He placed a hand on her head and slid his fingers
between her hair.
She inched closer and kissed him on the cheek. "Yeah, you were incredibly cool.”
He wrapped his arm around her waist, and his hot breath tickled the tip of her
nose. He said, "You deserve the credit for what happened today. Had you not
pressured the media with KS Group's power, I couldn't have successfully kept
every single Solana City media out of the press conference.
"Javier Beckett hated that I disrupted his plans, but he hated the humiliation
more."
After some thinking, Alyssa gently advised him, "Jasper, promise me that you
won't go against your dad after the Sophia Kirkman case. Alright?"
"Why? Feeling bad for me?" He lifted her chin with a grin.
"I'm serious."
"Once Sophia Kirkman receives her payback, I promise not to get into trouble
with Javier Beckett as long as he doesn't unfairly target you and your family."
His ringing phone interrupted their conversation. He glanced at the screen. The
look in his eyes softened, but he seemed troubled. "Lyse, it's Grandpa. He wants
to see us."
The two of them felt worried on their way to Crescent Bay. Knowing that Newton
doted on them, they wondered if he had summoned them to the villa because he
had learned about how Jasper messed up Javier's press conference. Did Javier
complain to Newton? Was Newton going to hold them responsible?
After all, Newton wouldn't want to see Beckett Group—his legacy—go down.
At the thought, Alyssa had an idea. When she entered the villa, she immediately
ran toward Newton and hugged him. "Grandpa, I missed you!"
"Haha! Oh, my dear granddaughter! I missed you too!" It had been a while since
Newton felt such joy.
Only Jasper raised a brow at Newton's way of addressing Alyssa. She was
technically his granddaughterin-law.
Newton had been calling Alyssa his granddaughter in an attempt to match her
and Jasper. Now that the two were dating, Jasper thought it was time for Newton
to change his embarrassing habit.
"Grandpa, I'll perform a health checkup on you. Then, Il make your favorite corn
soup. How does that
sound?" She went on one knee in front of Newton with a bright smile.

"I heard you messed up the press conference. Is that true?"
"Yes, Grandpa," Jasper admitted openly without fear.
Frowning, Newton bent over to pick up his left home slipper. Without warning, he
hurled it at Jasper.
