When Jasper and Alyssa got home, Jasper received a call from Xavier. Then, he
went to the study to get some work done.
"Mr. Beckett, the foundation's matters are pretty much all set. You'll just need to
pick a date for the official announcement.”
"Alright. Thanks." Jasper's voice sounded low and a little weary.
"Also, weren't you planning to bring Madam to Swizo for a holiday? I've made
preparations for a manor there. It's right at the foot of the Alton Mountains. The
scenery there is fantastic. You and Madam can head over there any time," Xavier
said in a jolly tone.
He had been feeling elated since they defeated Sophia. Every day, he was so
happy that he'd be smiling in his sleep.
However, Jasper still didn't respond after a while. He wasn't paying attention. He
was still thinking about his conversation with Justin earlier that night. He was also
bothered by how Justin had looked at Alyssa.
Jasper felt his chest tighten. The look in his eyes was deep.
"Mr. Beckett? Mr. Beckett? Did you doze off?"
Jasper jolted back to his senses. "What were you saying?"
"I was saying that I've made arrangements at Swizo. You can bring Madam for a
vacation there any time."
Concerned, Xavier asked, "What happened, Mr. Beckett? You sound weak. Are
you feeling unwell?"
"Xavier, I spoke to Justin earlier tonight. He's also met Lyse." Jasper massaged
his temples. He was feeling disconcerted.
"What?" Xavier couldn't help but exclaim. He simply blurted, "What the hell?
What were you thinking?"
Jasper was too distressed to reprimand him for his language. He explained, "We
were on a video call. Lyse and Grandpa were around, too. Justin said that he
wanted to see her. I didn't think too much about it. It wasn't nice to reject him
either."
"You let him speak with her just because he said so? Are you going to give in to
everything he says? Mr. Beckett! You're usually an intelligent person. You're as
smart as a whip! Why did you become so senseless in the face of Mr. Justin?"
Xavier was so anxious that he just rambled on. "That incident that happened
when you were kids... It was an accident! An accident! What happened to Mr.
Justin was terrible. But you were also a victim. You almost lost your life too!
"It's fine if you feel grateful toward him. However, you shouldn't need to feel like
you owe it to him forever! You don't need to give in to his every demand!"
Jasper furrowed his brows slightly. His heart sank.
"I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist. But who knows if those kidnappers
were actually targeting Mr. Justin? You might've just been collateral damage!”
The more Xavier spoke, the more he felt indignant. "Just think about it. You were
still so young back then. It had only been a few years since you got back to the
Beckett family. Only a handful of outsiders knew of your existence.
"Mr. Justin was different. Mr. Javier used to bring him out in public. He's Mr.
Javier's lawful eldest son, born with a silver spoon in his mouth!
"If I were a kidnapper, Mr. Justin would surely have been my number one target!
He would be more valuable as a hostage compared to you. You were just an
added benefit at the time!" Jasper was rendered speechless.
Xavier spoke crudely. Nevertheless, his points were valid.
Back then, Jasper was just an "illegitimate son". Justin was far more valued than
he was.
Yet, Jasper couldn't deny that Justin had fought for his life too. That was how he
was fortunate enough to escape from the grasp of those devils.

Would Justin, really? Would he be interested in Alyssa?
Jasper inhaled sharply. He shook his head aggressively. He mumbled to himself,
"He won't."
"He's not a priest or a saint. What do you mean that he won't? What if he
becomes interested in Madam? Are you going to give in to him too?"
"Definitely not."
