After hearing that, Alyssa did not refuse further. She knew this woulde up again even if she refused now. Justin might appear
carefree, but he was actually stubborn and malicious deep down. He would stop at nothing to get his way.
Moreover, Alyssa had accepted Justin's help so Winston could recover soon. It would be too narrow-minded of her to turn him down
over such a trivial invitation.
At 6:00 pm sharp, Alyssa's luxury car glided slowly into Seaview Manor. She gazed out the window at the familiar sight, reminded
of the times when she and Jasper had lived here as a married couple. The moments they shared were bitter, sorrowful, and happy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTears welled up automatically, and she lowered her eyes to conceal the sorrow.
Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to the man next to her, surprised, and saw him presenting a clean, nice-
smelling, white handkerchief.
"lI wouldn't have arranged this dinner at hif I'd known it would make you feel so ufortable to be back here," Justin said.
He gazed deeply into Alyssa's reddened eyes and added in a soft, regretful voice, "I'm sorry, Lyse."
Lyse...
Even his extremely gentle tone sounded almost identical to Jasper's.
Alyssa's heart fluttered—not because of the man before her, but because of Jasper, the person deeply etched in her heart, the man
she could never et.
"Please don't misunderstand. Mr. Beckett. | wasn't getting emotional."
Alyssa took deep breaths to calm herself down. In an icy tone, she continued, "Also, | would very much prefer it if you called me
‘Ms. Alyssa’ or 'Ms. Taylor." It would be more formal that way, and these forms of address would be more suitable considering my
identity."
Justin was taken aback slightly. He smiled, as if unaffected by her frigidity. "Sure. I'll do as you ask."
Even though Justin said tonight's dinner was with his family, Javier was not at home—he had gone out of town.
Justin sat at the head of the table in the spacious dining room while Alyssa and Rafe, Beckett Group's guest of honor, sat on either
side of him.
"We were able to secure Project A5, all thanks to your support."
Justin lifted his glass elegantly and looked toward Rafe with a smile. "I hope we'll be able to work well together moving forward,
and | hope you'll support KS Group with their projects in Solana City. | would be extremely grateful."
