Chapter 169: Chapter 169

Landon blushed when he added. “And she has more than one sultonl Last night he could think of nothing else but Alice’s remark on his way home.

She had confessed to him I wouldn’t team to love without Jasper. I will not fall for another man alter leaving him.”

Why not Why couldn’t she?

Of course he wou never let Jasper know. Why would he give Jasper something to gloat over?

At the same bone, Jasper was struck by a belated realization. Pain twisted his heart.

“Is this what it is, Alice? You alving up on your happiness just to get even with me?‘ he wondered.

www Business was good at the KS World Hotel with a 40% increase in occupancy rate and a full house at the restaurant every day.

The hotel employees worked hard in high spirits, encouraged by Betty Beckett’s apology. They felt that their efforts were seen and knew Alyssa would speak up for them it they were bullied. The results were good because the morale was high.

Alyssa happily checked the monthly financial report in her office. She’d be one step closer to becoming president by doing a good job with the hotel.

Abssa was an ambitious woman who had been cooped up in her boring housewife life for too long.

Now that she was back in her career, she was ready to take off.

“Ms. Abyssa, Mr. Jonah is here. Smiling, Sean invited Jonah into the office.

“Jonah She flew toward Jonah like a butterfly and hugged him.

“How are you? Is it tiring?” He gently rested his hand on her waist.

“No! How could I possibly handle the role of president it I were to complain about my workload now?”

After that she covered her mouth and blinked at him. “Um, I’m not trying to kick you out. If you want to be the president, I’m happy to be your vice president! I pledge my loyalty to you!”

“The only thing I worried about is that you’ll give up on it.” He playfully pinched her nose. “I’m scared you’d head off to travel the world again. If that happens, I’ll have to postpone my retirement.”

“I won’t.” She pursed her lips in guilt. “I admit I was selfish. I ignored your feelings while living the high life.”

She promised. “But I’ll never do that again. As a daughter of the Taylor family, I need to take responsibility for running the family business.

I can’t do as I wish.”

She had a taste of the consequences of her willulness, and she wouldn’t want to be put through the pain anymore.

Soon, her phone rang. “Give me a second. I’ll take this call”

She let go of his hand and picked up the phone from the table. Surprised to see Mrs. Rosie’s name on the screen, she hesitated before picking up. “Mrs. Rosie, how are you?”

“Madam Alice,” Mrs. Rosie longingly called out to her.

“Please, just Alice. I’m divorced now,” Alyssa gently corrected her.

“Ah, it’s a habit I can’t change. Sorry, Ms. White.”

“It’s fine. What’s wrong, Mrs. Rosie?”

“I used the silver needles on Mr. Jasper. The headache went away like a miracle, I applied the cream on him, and the bruise cleared up a little as well.”

“Is that so? That’s good to hear.” Reluctant to discuss Jasper, Alyssa excused herself, “Mrs. Rosie, I am in the middle of something. I’ll call “Madam Alice? Ats. Rosie called her name in panic. A. Are you never getting back with Mr. Jasper?”

“Uh–huh “It’s been a mess at home ever since you left. No one else is looking after Mr. Jasper except me. He doesn’t listen when I remind him to take care of his health.

“It’s not like he has been listening to me,” Alyssa said. ‘Guess I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on him.”

“Not only that, no one’s taking care of Ms. Lauren…

Alyssa was concerned about the adorable Lauren, who was autistic.

“Mr. Javier is busy with work. Sophia doesn’t care about Ms. Lauren, and Betty goes around bullying the poor girl, leaving Ms. Lauren covered in injuries! Mrs. Rosie almost cried out loud.

She continued. “Even Mr. Jasper is out working all day. That leaves no one siding with Ms. Lauren at home. I feel bad for that kid, but as a maid, I have no say in her late.”

Alyssa’s eyes were ablaze as she clenched her fists upon hearing the updates.
