"You clueless thing!" Newton bellowed at Jasper.
Alyssa's chest tightened when she witnessed Newton's outburst. She was about to speak up for Jasper
when Newton added, "You should have run it through me before carrying it out. How could you act
alone? Are you addicted to angering your dad?"
"Grandpa, I—"
"If your dad pulled the same thing on me, I would have been pissed as well. Anyway, I was about to
teach him a lesson for not discussing the press conference with me." Sighing furiously, Newton
remarked, "You should have given me a heads up so I could fight with him over hosting the press
conference.
"I could have stopped him so you didn't have to get into an argument with him, killing two birds with one
stone. See, you have angered him again. You know he's petty, and he'll keep score. Why would you do
that?"
"Grandpa, I know you wanted to protect me, but I'm no five-year-old. I'm an adult who could protect
you, Lyse, and the company." Touched by Newton's sentiments, Jasper helped him to put on the left
slipper. "Please do not worry about me. I can resolve all my problems by myself.
"Now that you're retired, you should enjoy your retirement. Stop losing sleep over my problems."
"Sigh. That's right. I'm a useless old thing now." Newton let out a long sigh and teared up.
Getting emotional, Jasper advised, "Grandpa, don't say that about yourself."
Alyssa observed the sadness on Newton's face as though he was saying, "I'd love to protect you, but I
know my time is running out. I cannot protect you forever."

Newton put on a grave expression and asked, "Sophia's case will be brought to court tomorrow, right?"
Alyssa and Jasper exchanged looks and nodded.
"Ben, get me the gifts I bought for Alyssa and Jasper!" Newton raised his voice.
From his tone, he seemed in the pink of health.
"Coming, Mr. Newton!"
Ben appeared with two exquisitely wrapped gift boxes—one for Alyssa and the other for Jasper.
"Alice, Jasper, check your gifts out," Newton urged with a loving smile.
Alyssa happily opened hers and was greeted by a velvety, sleeveless mermaid dress with a realistic
embroidery of two butterflies on a flower. The pattern looked like a painting.
"This is the work of Angelo Costa of Vittorino, isn't it?" She ran her fingers through the meticulous
embroidery with excitement.
"He-he! You certainly know your stuff." Newton gave her a thumbs up and added, "I hope this dress
brings you luck tomorrow."

Newton retorted, "I never said you should wear it. You'll only look like a theater actor in it."
Jasper was utterly wordless.
"Mr. Jasper, this is a good luck charm from Mr. Newton. It's a pair with Ms. Alyssa's dress," Ben
explained with a warm smile.
Of course, Alyssa and Jasper appreciated Newton's sentiments.
"I'm cheering for the both of you in court tomorrow. Break a leg," said Newton while clasping their
hands.
