I'd only waste you and your son's time in that regard.”"Oh, never! So what if you've divorced? You're still a gorgeous, strong youngwoman, far more formidable than many other women your age!”Betty's cheeks grew hot with embarrassment and anger upon hearing this. She shot Alyssa a hatefularound, nothing else evershone.Alyssa and Sean soon left in the golf cart, leaving the Becketts to their mess.“Well, Javier, I take it you'd understand if we call this partnership quits. There will be betteropportunities in the future.” Orlander nodded at Javier, then quickly left with his wife.If he insisted on giving Javier this project, nothing good would come. His entire reputation mightbe dragged through the dirt.Meanwhile, while Javier was getting a headache trying to resolve the current situation, he turnedaround to find that his son had long disappeared.Alyssa had changed out of her golf clothes into her sleek and elegant office wear. She stepped outof the changing room, back in her high heels.The moment she turned the corner, she came face to face with Jasper. His gaze was dark whenshe looked up at him, but she wasn't intimidated one bit."Are you some kind of peeping Tom, Mr. Beckett?”“I'm not letting you get the Verdane Valley project, Alyssa Taylor.”Alyssa smirked, the movement of her lips making heat lick in Jasper's stomach.

Is that what you needto finally get over your anger?”“Aha. I knew it.” Alyssa sneered. “Why did you stand up for me earlier, hm? Don't you know howdisgusting two-faced cowards are?”Disgusting.The word struck Jasper's heart like a molten stake. All he felt was anger-anger and aggravation.How was it that this woman always managed to cross his anger thresholds every time?“Don’t... make me hurt you, Alyssa,” Jasper hissed, leaning into her. “Don't think I'd go easy on youjust because of our marriage. You're no different than any other competitor of mine!”Alyssa blinked slowly, not the least bit angry. In fact, she even seemed excited. “There we go,Jasper. An opponent always makes this game fun. I should probably tell you a secret then.”She leaned over to his ear, then whispered, “I was the one who gave the authorities evidence ofHenry Kirkman's crimes. I was also the one who leaked the news to the media.“You should really be thanking me. I'm sure you were really concerned when Sophia got.appointed President.” *Jasper's face had warmed up with their proximity, but now it felt like knives had sliced across hisheart.“The art of war, Mr. Beckett. It applies to the business world too.
