Chapter 6
Alyssa was shocked to see the name on Jonahs phone.
Should I answer it? Jonah asked.
Yes!
He slowly answered the call and put it on speaker, but he was in no hurry to speak.
Mr. Jonah, are you with my wife? Jasper asked in a hoarse voice.
Alyssa found his words incendiary and became furious in an instant. Mr. Jasper, please mind your
words. Im your ex-wife.
Alice White, I knew youd be with him. Jaspers tone was deep.
Should I be waiting at your house to be kicked out, then?
On the other end of the call, Jaspers expression turned dark. I advise you not to be in such a hurry.
We havent completed the procedures, and the divorce certificate hasnt been issued. Youre still legally
my wife. Please be mindful of the Becketts reputation as if its your own.
You took Liana Gardner to Seaview Manor and forced me to sign the papers. Jasper Beckett, did you
care for my reputation when you did that? Alyssa sneered, then continued, One-sided courtesy
doesnt mean anything. Since you dont care about my reputation, why should I care for the Becketts?
After all, I respectfully gave up my position as the presidents wife to Liana. You should ask her about
that.
Jonah raised his brow and took a sip of tea. This was the real Alyssa. The obedient and gentle wife
who was always wronged by the Becketts was just a persona she had made up for Jasper.
Although he felt that his sister was perfect, he liked the feisty woman that was not scared of the world
and had no restraints more. Thankfully, she had returned.
Jasper sounded tired when he spoke again, I dont have time to argue with you. Grandpa is sick. Hes
in the hospital, and hes been asking to see you. He wont take his meds if youre not here.
Alyssa became distressed when she heard that. Although she was already divorced, old Mr. Beckett
was good to her. She could give up all the assets and not want a single penny, but she couldnt let go

of that adorable old man.
Hes at the hospital under Taylor Group, right? Ill go over in a moment.
After she ended the call, she sighed.
Lyse, Ill send you over, Jonah said gently.
Its okay. Im going there to visit Grandpa. I dont want to cause another unnecessary fight. Itll only
worsen the situation if you send me over. She waved her hand and added, Ill drive.
At the hospital, Jasper and Xavier were standing outside Newtons ward.
Alyssa walked over and noticed that Jasper was skinnier.
Dang it! Why should I care about him? Whether hes gotten skinnier or fatter, itd never be because of
me. He can do whatever he likes! Alyssa cursed in her heart.
When she stopped before them in her heels, the two men looked up at her. They were both taken
aback, especially Jasper. He could not recognize the woman who had been his wife for three years.
Xavier, how is Grandpa doing? Alyssa didnt even look at Jasper.
M-Madam Alice, i-is it really you? Xavier was dumbfounded and asked a st* pid question.
The woman before him had delicate makeup and S**y red lips. She was in a professional, black suit
that showed her curves, and the ruby butterfly brooch on her chest was dazzling.
Alyssa was also taken aback. As she had rushed over, she forgot to change into sneakers and turn
herself into the obedient Alice White.
Its me alright. Dont you like my new style?
No, thats not it! Youre so much prettier! Also, you look much more confident and spirited than before.
Xavier was honest and said exactly what was on his mind.
Is that so? Maybe its because of the divorce. She smiled. I finally got to see the light again, so I look
much happier.
Jaspers expression darkened, and he felt irritated. Since you were so unhappy, why did you stay for
three years? Didnt I repeatedly tell you that you can cancel the marriage anytime? We didnt need to
wait for three years like prisoners. I couldve brought you to Grandpa and ended it.
Hearing that, Alyssa felt distressed. This was Jasper Beckett. No one could affect him if he had no
feelings for them. Even if she put in her heart and soul for him, he wouldnt care.
Back then, she loved this cold and prideful man so much that she had thrown herself into the
relationship without inhibition, and the consequences were devastating.
I made a promise to Grandpa, so I had to adhere to it. Since I promised to stay in this marriage for
three years, I had to stick by it. But now youre free. You can bring any woman you want back home.
You dont need to sneak out and meet your lover like before. Alyssa sneered.
Jasper was speechless. Did she have such different personalities? Did she think that since they were
divorced now, she might as well go all out? However, he felt she was much more attention-grabbing
than how she was previously. There was a flash of emotion in his indifferent eyes.
Jasper!
Alyssa turned and saw Liana walking over with Sophia. When she saw that Alyssa was here, there was
hostility in her gaze. However, it lasted only for a moment and was quickly replaced by an innocent
gaze.
Why are you guys here? Jasper asked in surprise.
Just as he was done asking this, Liana pounced into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his
waist. Jasper, why didnt you tell me about such a serious matter? Do you consider me your girlfriend
or not?
Yes, Jasper. Do you know how worried Liana was when she heard that Grandpa was hospitalized?
She vomited her lunch. Sophia felt distressed for her niece.
What happened? Why did you vomit? Jasper asked worriedly.
Shes always had gastric problems. It comes back whenever shes nervous. Its not a big deal, but it
just never gets better. Sophia sighed.
Ill find a good doctor for her. If the doctors in the country cant treat her, Ill take her abroad to look for
a cure. The man was gentle as he wrapped his arm around Lianas waist.
Alyssa sneered in her heart when she thought of the time her stomach problem kicked in. Back then,
she was so sick yet she had to go to the hospital alone. She didnt tell him about it, but he never even
showed concern even though her face was pale and she looked weak.

It turned out that it was not that Jasper didnt know how to love, but that she was just not worthy
enough to get his love.
Liana leaned into Jaspers arms and stared at Alyssa with a malicious smile.
Wait! Why did she change so much? Shes become so beautiful! The butterfly brooch on her chest,
isnt that the latest design from the famous designer Alexa? Its worth five million. How could a country
bumpkin like her afford it? This bitch doesnt have any money. It must be a fake! Liana thought to
herself.
Jasper, why dont you let Liana accompany you to visit Grandpa? She cried all the way here and was
so worried about him. Sophia was very enthusiastic and acted as if Alyssa, who had taken care of their
family for three years, was invisible.
However, Alyssa only maintained an indifferent expression. She didnt even care about Jasper, so why
should she care about her?
At this moment, Newtons secretary walked out of the ward.
Mr. Beckett asked for his granddaughter-in-law. Is she here?
Liana showed envy when she heard that.
Ben, Im here. Worried, Alyssa walked up. She didnt care about titles now that they were in such a
situation.
Madam Alice. Ben respectfully gestured for her to enter.
Mr. Beckett has asked for you and Mr. Jasper.
Alyssa didnt say anything else and walked into the ward. Jasper pursed his lips and followed behind
her.
Jasper, wait for me Liana quickly followed, but Ben stopped her.
Sorry, but Mr. Beckett ordered that he doesnt want to see anyone else besides his grandson and
granddaughter-in-law. Please leave.
