Chapter 40
Jasper used to be a cadet of the most elite military academy in the nation. He was enlisted in the army for three years after graduating from the academy. Hence, he was still strong and powerful as ever despite being a businessman.
Silas‘ punch ended up bruising the corner of Jasper’s mouth. The latter’s body didn’t even budge in the slightest.
“Holy shit! Is he another love rival of mine?” Landon screamed Internally. Naturally, he dared not scream in Silas‘ face.
He suddenly remembered the way Alice had mocked him earlier. Apparently, homewreckers mustn’t be arrogant.
Meanwhile, Silas tried to punch Jasper again out of fury. At that point, the latter would never give him another chance to strike at him. So
Jasper dodged the punch swiftly.
“Jasper, didn’t I tell you to stay away from Alice? Are you this shameless?”
Silas panted heavily, his eyes now bloodshot. “I’ll fucking skin you alive if anything happens to her! Hell, I’ll make the Beckett Group pay for this!”
“Mr. Taylor, you’re being dramatic. It’s just a dislocation.” Landon was afraid another fight might break out again, so he quickly intervened.
“Hah! It’s just a dislocation?”
Silas scowled furiously at Landon. “Both of you either toy with women’s feelings or ignore the shit out of them! How could you understand my feelings, huh?
“I love Alice the most! I’ve vowed to protect and love her for the rest of my life! Now get the hell away from Alice, you disgusting plece of
shit!”
What Silas said was the truth.
Even if he were to get married to another woman in the future, he would still prioritize Alice before his wife.
Jasper looked surprised upon hearing Silas‘ straightforward and passionate confession. He would never have the courage to confess his
love to a woman in such a way. (1)
Alice became a charming and enchanting woman right after divorcing him. At first, Jonah appeared in her life. Then, she got acquainted with Landon. Those men started developing an Interest in her. (1)
Jasper found it difficult to describe what he was feeling right now. (1)
It felt like he was an idiot for not knowing such a precious treasure was right next to him. Once he ditched it, everyone else wanted it for
themselves. Naturally, Jasper was reluctant to let that treasure go.
“Just you wait, Jasper! I’m definitely suing you!”
Silas pointed at Jasper angrily. He wanted to order Axel to assassinate that son of a bitch.
“Go ahead, but I’d like to correct you on one thing.”
Jasper made eye contact with Silas with a stony look on his face. “Alice and I have yet to wrap up the legal divorce procedures. She’s still
my wife for now.”
Landon was speechless. He felt that Jasper was exceptionally talented when it came to insulting people.
Silas, on the other hand, wanted to spit at Jasper. But he suppressed the urge to do so because he needed to protect his dignity as a well-
mannered scion.
“Mr. Taylor.”
A soft voice drifted from behind the men. They quickly turned around to look at the speaker.
Alyssa could be seen standing elegantly. Her left arm was now sealed in a cast. She looked calm and composed, though her face was slightly pale.
Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly. His throat felt dry for some reason.

Alice stood there by herself. Her beautiful eyes conveyed innocence. The men who laid their eyes on her wanted nothing more than to
protect her.
Suddenly, an old and blurry memory popped into Jasper’s mind. Strangely enough, Alice resembled the figure in that memory.
Alice
…
Alice
Pain shot through Jasper’s head for a moment, but it soon disappeared alongside the memory.
Silas quickly approached Alyssa with reddened eyes. His heart ached for her as he asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“Not really. Let’s go home.”
Alyssa flashed a bright smile at her older brother.
For a moment, Jasper was captivated by that smile.
Silas wrapped an arm around Alyssa’s waist and led her to the other end of the corridor.
The latter couldn’t be bothered to even glance in Jasper’s direction.
Jasper was jealous, to say the least. He was about to approach the siblings when Landon stopped him.
“That’s enough, Jasper. You’ll only piss her off if you go after her right now. It’s your fault for hurting Ms. White in the first place. Haven’t you realized that she’s the one who called Mr. Taylor here?
“She only wants to be with him right now. Let’s not bother them anymore.”
Jasper watched as Silas and Alyssa disappeared from his line of sight. He could only clench his fists tightly in response.
Soon, Sean hurried over to the location. Silas had informed him to come here as soon as he could. Hence, Sean was still kept in the dark
about Alyssa’s situation.
“What happened to you, Ms. Alyssa? Who hurt you?”
“It’s all thanks to that fucking mutt, Jasper!”
