Chapter 2059
"Can | join you?" Jasper asked, his demeanor warm and friendly. Nicholas replied simply, "Sure."
Jasper gracefully sat opposite him, arriving alone with no backup.
A palpable tension hung in the air even before a word was spoken.
"Mr. Beckett," Nicholas began, "a man of your stature wouldn't be drinking coffee in a place like this."
Nicholas then took a deep drag of his cigarette. His eyes were grim. "So, this isn't a coincidence. You've been following me."
"It's not what you think," Jasper countered. A slight twitch of Jasper's lips accompanied his sincere gaze. "My wife told meeverything that happened at the nursing home. She knew you'd be here if | couldn't find you at home. After all, both of usprioritize our wives. We might take detours, but we always end up in the same place, don't we?"
An intelligent man would never directly communicate what he meant.Nicholas continued to smoke. "Are you and Ms. Alyssa married?"Jasper blinked and said, "Not yet."
"Then, addressing Ms. Alyssa as your wife is merely a term of endearment; it's for fun. Our situations are different. You can'tunderstand mine.”
Jasper's jaw clenched subtly, but his voice remained calm and low. "Don't you think it's odd that Aidan Lovelace was suddenlyarrested, Chief Novak?"
Nicholas’ eyes were listless. "The Solana City police force don't just do nothing. Justice will always prevail. This is what hedeserves."
Jasper held his gaze unflinchingly. "Then, who do you think is next?"The air suddenly turned stale.“How would | know?" Nicholas dismissed him coldly, but a tremor ran through the hand holding his cigarette.
“Aidan and Jameson worked extremely closely. Aidan, the president of Lovelace Group and a Belbanks bigwig, helped Jamesondistribute illegal drugs, amassing a fortune in the process. Yet, Jameson cast him aside like a disposable tool. As you can see,Jameson trusts no one."
Jasper squinted his eyes and continued, "Jameson was merely getting rid of Aidan after he outlived his usefulness. Chief Novak,are you certain you're any different?"
Nicholas felt a slight stirring in his heart. However, he knew Jameson had eyes all over Solana City. He had no idea how toexplain himself if Jameson found out that he had secretly met up with Jasper. S
Jameson was cold-blooded, sinister,
and distrusting. No matter what,
Nicholas had to survive; only then,
could protect his wife. Besides, was already entangled withJameson-there was no turning
back.

As Nicholas rose to leave, Jasper lunged forward and pressed a silver lighter into Nicholas’ palm."You didn't bring a lighter, right? If you don't mind, you can have it.”novelbin
Nicholas’ eyes constricted as an inexplicable pain surged in his chest. He then accepted the lighter, lowered his head and hastilyleft the café.
Jasper remained in his seat, observing the hustle and bustle of the night. Nicholas had completely disappeared from his sight.Just then, his phone buzzed with a message from Alyssa on WhatsApp. "Did you meet with him?"
He smiled faintly, his calloused fingers dancing across the keyboard. "Yes, we talked."
Alyssa replied, "Was the chat a complete bust? While your IQ is amazing, your EQ leaves much to be desired."
“Even you can't reason with him, Lyse. What else can | do?" Jasper paused as his eyes darkened. Then he added, "But turninghim wasn't my goal from the outset."
A beat of silence followed. Then, a
flurry of emojis filled the screen, followed by a text. "So you met with him to make Jameson suspicious? You want to sow discordbetween them!"
"You're so smart!" Jasper replied.
"You're so cunning!" Alyssa was stunned by the audacity of the plan.
Meanwhile, Jasper appeared unsure how to respond after that. However, his gaze remained loving.
"There's a 30 percent chance this gambit works, even if it puts us in the crosshairs."
Just then, a camera retracted discreetly into the darkness of a parked black car.
