Female Novel
Chapter 1984
If Landon were to hear what Jasper just said, he would probably laugh at him.
"Good-for-nothing!"
"Useless president!"
"Polyandry?"
Alyssa narrowed her eyes at him. She tickled him on his chin with her fingers and tilted his chin up.“Would you be happy with that, Mr. Jasper?"
"No, | won't."
Jasper looked her in the eyes with his fiery gaze. He then gulped. The bob in his Adam's apple was exceptionally sexy. "But |know that | don't deserve it.”
If he didn't deserve it, who did?
That said, The Taylors always maintained a level of conservativeness. Although Alyssa's heart was racing, she uttered inaneutral tone, "Also, what are you doing? Is this a proposal?"
Jasper pursed his lips and didn't reply.
“Others would usually have a romantic proposal and an expensive ring. I've never seen anyone hold a brush and a broken oneat that." Alyssa put her hand on her hip, making herself look as if she was mad at him.
Jasper clenched his hands into fists. The brush's bristles dug into his palm.
He recalled the time when Alyssa married him in the past. There was no proposal and no wedding ceremony. All she had withher was her luggage when she moved into Seaview Manor quietly.
Even the three-carat wedding ring was just a tool for formality's sake. He didn't put any heart into choosing that ring. Yet, shewore it every day and treated it like a treasure.
He was indebted to her. Time and time again, he was covered by all the debt he owed her.
It was his dream to marry her. However, till today, he couldn't bring himself to say those few words openly—"Alyssa, marry me."Right at this moment, Alyssa's phone buzzed.
The secret group chat hadn't pinged in quite a long while. Surprisingly, the quietest member, Jonah, broke the silence.
Jonah: "Lyse, | heard that Landon is getting married. Feel free to let us know if there's anything that we can help with."
Alyssa smiled. She typed her reply speedily.
“Looking for three groomsmen. Limited spots available! One chance only!"
Silas: "Why three? Shouldn't it be four? There are exactly four of us. We can fill up four spots."
Axel: "Are you dumb, Silas? That spot is obviously allocated for Jasper. Fill up? I'd like to see if you can fill up four spotsyourself.”
Silas: "Oh, right, right... | forgot about Jasper. But wait, who are you calling dumb?"novelbin
Axel: "Are there any games or trivia for the groomsmen during the wedding, Lyse? With Silas’ brain, he'd better not be agroomsman."
Silas: "Just wait and see. Damn it!"Axel then sent a GIF of a dog sitting on a cat and wagging its tail. It really annoyed him.Alyssa noticed that Liam hadn't said anything. She tagged him and asked, "Liam, can you attend the wedding?"
Liam: "Of course. | can help out if any help is needed. It's just that I'm not that close with Landon. About being one of hisgroomsmen, it's a bit."
Liam held a high position in the military. He also had a huge responsibility on his shoulders. His every move was being watchedby countless people in secret.
He also barely had any interaction with Landon. Even with Jasper, they had very minimal interaction.It was indeed too demanding to have him be a groomsman.
Jonah: "Don't forget Julien, Lyse."
Silas: "That's right! Your lover! Fortunately, he's a man. Otherwise, we wouldn't have enough people."
Jonah: "They would probably need a priest if they are having a traditional wedding, right? | can't be a groomsman if | were to bethe officiant.”
Alyssa bit her lip and thought about it. She then added Cyrus to the group."Cyrus, urgent help is needed! Can you be a groomsman?"
Jasper saw that Alyssa was engrossed in her chat with her brothers. So, he excused himself and left the room. He wentdownstairs to cut some fruit for her. At the same time, he made a call.
In the kitchen, he plated the fruits skillfully while he spoke on the phone with Xavier.
“Keep an eye on upcoming famous auctions within the country and overseas. Remember to inform me if there are any high-enddiamonds."
"Wow! Mr. Jasper, are you being influenced by Mr. Landon? Are you planning to propose formally to Madam?" Xavier cheeredfrom the other end of the call.
"Maybe, if there's a suitable timing. Just making some preparations first." Jasper lowered his eyes. His heart was filled with anarray of conflicted emotions. He was worried but also filled with anticipation.
"Ho, ho. You're finally getting it right!"
Xavier was about to burst into happy tears. "I'm so happy to know that | will be able to see you get married again. | can rest inpeace even if | were to die tomorrow!"
Jasper was speechless.
He was marrying his first wife again, not getting remarried to someone else!
"Oh, right. You asked me to investigate The Ivory Gang, right? It took me much effort to finally find out some things."Jasper froze. "Go on."
“Multiple gang members are involved with drugs. The police already have them on their watch."
“Marc despises drugs. His subordinates never involved themselves with drugs throughout these decades. Those who did wouldonly end up dead. Yet, some people took that risk?" Jasper lowered his darkened eyes.
"It's a different era now. Mr. Marc hasadvanced in age. There have beenmultiple internal strifegin taelreblehttwowyedrs.? is Said that the gangwould be in a worse condition if itweren't for Mr. Nathan holdingeverything together. The content ison NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!

Despite that, Marc was Colene's father, while Colene was Alyssa's precious family member.Inevitably, he paid more attention to them.
Moreover, there was also the death of The Ivory Gang member who died a tragic death on the street. He kept getting the feelingthat there was something more behind his death.
"No matter which drug, the symptoms of addiction are pretty much the same. But did the man we saw last time really die from anoverdose?”
Jasper's eyes were deep. He frowned. "Why did it look more like he was ill or poisoned?"Xavier gasped. "It was strange indeed!"
Jasper gave it some thought. Out of the blue, he asked in a deep voice, "Where can | buy it?”Xavier was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"The drug. Find a way to buy me some."
