Jasper's face remained indifferent, but Alyssa's eyes widened. She even shouted in excitement,"Deaf?"

"Yes! It's real. I've already gotten the diagnosis report. I'll send it to you right now. Betty is still in thehospital. I heard she's completely deaf in her left ear, with hearing loss in her right ear. She's alreadyusing a hearing aid.”

Xavier's ecstatic voice echoed in the room. "Mr. Beckett, you're incredible! That wasn't just a slap.That was one hell of a slap!"

"Don't exaggerate it, Xavier," Jasper reprimanded with a frown.

Alyssa burst into laughter, clapping her hands joyfully until they turned red. "Haha! That's great! It'sperfect karma! Who asked her to mock Lauren all the time? I want to see how arrogant she'll benow."

When she met Jasper's unwavering gaze, her smile froze, replaced by a blush spreading across hercheeks. "Um, am I too—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Jasper seized her in a fierce, aggressive kiss, swallowing herwords.

He held her closely against him and ran his hand up her spine to the spot he favored while savoringthe warmth of her lips.

As the woman in his arms trembled slightly, Jasper mischievously spared her at this moment. Herubbed his thumb over her rosy lower lip and chuckled softly. "Are you wondering if you're tooevil?"

Alyssa was captivated by the tender depths of his eyes. Her eyes glistened with emotion, and shefound herself slightly breathless.

"I think you should be even more evil..." Jasper's palm returned to her waist, kneading it gently."Your evil side drives me crazy."

A flush spread across Alyssa's cheeks, and she playfully tapped his chest a couple of times.

Noticing his heavy breathing and reddened eyes, Alyssa knew that his desire was stirred. He wantedher again.

"Madam, it's a pity that you missed it. Mr. Beckett was so cool today!" Xavier's loud and clear voicebroke through the romantic atmosphere. "He took Mr. Newton with him today and confrontedBetty in front of Mr. Javier and everyone at the Seaview Manor.

"Mr. Newton slapped Betty and left her with no dignity. Mr. Javier wanted to protect her to save thefamily's reputation, but Mr. Beckett wasn't lenient. Not only did he kick her out of Solana City, buthe also slapped her twice. We just didn't expect to have an unexpected gain."

Blinking, Alyssa gazed at Jasper with a hint of doubt.

"Betty's crimes are too numerous to list, but she shouldn't have been so foolish as to seek Jasper'sprotection in front of me.”

Jasper's expression was cold, but his hand on Alyssa's waistline was burning. "She can't blame mefor her being deaf. If she wants to blame anyone, blame Javier for not agreeing to my request tohave her apologize to Lauren on her knees. I wouldn't have needed to slap her twice if he hadagreed.”

"When did you start talking nonsense so seriously?" Alyssa saw through his thoughts in an instant.As she talked, she loosened the knot on his tie. "You're not a reckless brute. You deliberatelyslapped her hard, intending to disable her."

After pecking her lips, he came clear. "So, I'm evil too. We're a perfect match.”

"Not necessarily.” Alyssa's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness. "Xavier, how many days will Betty bestaying in the hospital?”

"Probably two or three days."

"Can you arrange for someone to get close to her?"

"Except for the attending physician, no one can get close at all. Mr. Javier's people are guardingBetty's ward.” Xavier was frustrated.

Betty became another fuse in the intensifying relationship between Javier and Jasper.
