Chapter 796
Alyssa sped her car all the way back to her place in Solana City, emotions tumultuous.
She had aimed for Sophia when she went to Seaview Manor earlier, yet on the way back home, all she
could recall was how Jasper pressed her up against the wall.
The man’s eyes had locked onto her, filled with a deep sadness. There was exasperation and
desperation in his anger that Alyssa couldn’t forget, no matter what. Her grip around the steering wheel
tightened, making her fingers numb.
Jasper’s gaze had been so sincere.
But what could that prove?
Try as he might, Jasper couldn’t conceal the fact that he had slept with Zoe.
Alyssa glumly walked out of the car, only to find Jonah, Cyrus, and Sean standing outside the front
gates.

“Jonah, Cyrus, Sean! What are you three doing here?” Alyssa asked, surprised.
“Cyrus told me you went to Seaview Manor alone, not even bringing Sean with you. What were you
thinking
-taking on everybody by yourself?” Jonah said with a sigh.
He circled an arm around Alyssa’s shoulder. “But after hearing that Jasper was there, I grew less
worried.
He wouldn’t let you get into too much trouble.”
“Why not?” Alyssa asked tightly, brows furrowed.
“He cares about you, so he would definitely protect you.”
“Heh. That joke isn’t as funny as you think, Jonah.” Alyssa’s heart trembled slightly as she pressed on,
“I
was his wife for three years. Yet he continued letting me be pushed around without so much as telling
anyone off. What more now when we have nothing to do with each other?”
“She’s right, Jonah.” Cyrus walked over to them with a sneer, hands tucked in his pockets. “Jasper
Beckett is nothing but a heartless, cold-blooded jackass. Even if he had no feelings for Lyse, he still
should have
protected her as her husband.
“But look at what he’s done all these years? A leopard can’t change its spots. Look how quickly he’s
gone
back to his old ways right after courting Lyse!”
Upon hearing that, Sean decided to ask, “What old ways, Mr. Cyrus?”

“Fooling around with Landon’s sister, Zoe, of course! Jasper’s known that bratty jinx since he knew how
to suckle from his mother’s tit!” Cyrus was really good at insulting people, even better than his brothers
could.

Jonah remained silent.
Meanwhile, Sean coughed awkwardly, neither agreeing nor denying it.
“You’re really good with words, Cyrus, Keep it up.” Alyssa nodded approvingly.
Jonah’s lips tightened into a line as he maintained his silence.
All of a sudden, his gaze fell to a spot some distance behind Alyssa. “Jameson?”
Shocked, Alyssa turned around to look.
Jameson’s car had stopped not far away. Its engine was switched off, and it remained so silent its
presence was nearly undetectable.
Jameson was leaning forward in the driver’s seat, his arms resting on the steering wheel as he stared
fixedly at Alyssa.
Alyssa bit her lip, meeting his eyes.
She neither waved at him nor went over.
