In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton.
Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel.
"Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?"
"She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."
Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless.
"What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."
Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.
He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?
Was Sheryl even her real name? If her entire history was fabricated, then her name was too.

After Alyssa dropped Newton off at Crescent Bay, she tied on an apron and prepared a feast for him and Ben.
Newton insisted she stay for dinner. She had no appetite but sat with them anyway.
"Grandpa Newton, about today—"
"Alyssa," Newton interjected, his face heavy with remorse. He took her hands in his. "I've thought it through. If you or Jasper ever need anything, I'll do everything in my power to help."
Alyssa smiled, keeping her voice light. "You've done enough. Leave the rest to me… and Jasper."
Her heart clenched at the mention of his name.

HI. I am stuck on 2454 for over 3 months now. Will there be any more chapters or we just have to stop waiting for it and forget about this book....
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
