“How shameless of you to speak about Alyssa as her ex-mother-in- law!” Jasper finally stepped forwardwithout hesitation and mocked Sophia, “You’re Dad’s second wife, and I’m not your son. You do nothave the right to claim you were Lyse’s mother-in-law.
“Still, Lyse respected you and tried her best to fulfill your unreasonable demands when she wasmarried to me. She endured you and Betty’s bullying. Why did you skip that part?”
Alyssa felt a lump in her throat and wiggled her finger as she was reminded of the bitter past. Jasperdid not need to look at her to empathize. He gripped her hand firmly and declared, “Lyse married mebecause she loved me. Is love a sin?
“I was the one to blame for the divorce. I did not see through Liana’s true colors and continued flirtingwith her after I was married. I
unknowingly hurt Alyssa, not realizing that all the while, she was the one I loved.”
The cameras flashed again in a frenzy to capture Jasper’s act of protecting his ex-wife and hisconfession about his extramarital affair.
Sophia’s expression crumbled. Betty stared agape at Jasper’s explosive statement. They neverexpected him to give up everything- his status and reputation-for Alyssa.
They underestimated his feelings for Alyssa. He’d rather sacrifice himself to protect Alyssa. He wouldrather suffer a blow in his reputation to uphold her innocence.
Trembling, Alyssa watched as Jasper stood firmly in front of her. She choked on her tears, touched byhis empathy, which meant more to her than his declaration of “I love you”.
Jasper scanned Sophia and Betty’s faces before turning to the crowd. “I will make this clear for the lasttime-I was the one at fault in our divorce. Alyssa was not to be blamed. I will take legal action againstany media who wrote a single article demeaning her. Those who start rumors will pay a huge price fordoing so.”
His words came as a huge shock. Shuddering, Sophia and Betty stumbled backward and gave up onconfronting Alyssa.
Cyrus, admiring Jasper’s courage, clapped his hands with respect.” That was cool.”
Jonah and Silas nodded in approval. Axel, who hid in a corner, smiled with satisfaction as he placed acigarette between his lips, mumbling, “Not bad. You act more like my brother-in-law now.”novelbin
A reporter suddenly came forward and questioned loudly, “Mr. Beckett, why do you frequently meet upwith Ms. Alyssa if you’re divorced? I have been following your updates. Whenever Ms. Alyssa gets intotrouble, you will show up to help. Are you nice to her because she was your ex-wife, or do you still havefeelings for her?”
The other reporters chimed in, “Mr. Beckett, what is your current relationship with Ms. Alyssa?”
Feeling helpless in the onslaught of questions, Alyssa heard Jasper reply, “She was my ex-wife. Now,I’m her man.”
While speaking, he looked at her. They both teared up when their eyes met.
