RankNovelSebastian understood what Alyssa wanted.
There wasn't substantial proof to prove that Jasper had abused drugs in the first place. The substance found in his blood was simply supporting evidence.
As long as they found the right opportunity to reveal that, it wouldn'tpletely exonerate him, but it could at least divert public suspicion.

After emerging from the Bender residence, Landon took Zayne away to keep him under close watch and ensure Sebastian wouldn't retract his statement. Landon planned to release him only after Sebastian fulfilled Jasper and Alyssa's request.
"Landon, it's really nice to see you. How's Lauren doing lately?" Afraid of looking at Jasper, Alyssa had no choice but to speak with Landon.
"She's doing great." A tender look cacross Landon's eyes at the mention of Lauren. Landon blushed and continued, "We're now trying for a baby." "Really? That's wonderful!" Alyssa was genuinely happy for them.
"Yeah, we'll share the good news with you both when it happens," Landon said, excitement lighting his face.
The mood turned awkward in an instant.
Jasper lowered his eyes, saying nothing.
A lump rose at the back of Alyssa's throat. Forcing a smile, she said, "Landon, Mr. Beckett, I'll take my leave now." Jasper opened his mouth to thank her, but Alyssa moved too quickly. In the blink of an eye, she was gone, her black car vanishing into the night.

"Be honest—you're still in love with her, aren't you?" "If you were in her position, I would've shielded you without hesitation too," Jasper replied, fixing his gaze ahead. "Does that mean I'm in love with you?" Landon frowned and retorted resentfully, "Aren't you?" Jasper was speechless. "Mr. Harper, that's disturbing." Landon clicked his tongue. "You jerk. Don't I know you well enough?" He gave Jasper a gentle shoulder bump. "You're just being stubborn by refusing to admit it. Beware of turning into a mule!" "Thanks for tonight. I'll leave you to go hand spend twith Lauren. Good night," Jasper said, turning to leave.
But Landon grabbed his arm, his tone serious. "Jasper, why didn't youe toearlier with everything that's been happening? I would've helped you sooner if I'd known en.kikistories Justin was trying to sto "I don't need your help." UMS you!" In an anxious voice, Landon exclaimed, "Why not?" "Because it's dangerous to be one of Justin's targets." "But-" "Do you want Lauren to face another life-threatening situation? Justin is far more dangerous than your Uncle Preston or Jameson. I can't bear to see anyone close toget hurt again." After saying that, Jasper got into his car quickly and sped off, leaving Landon alone.
A worried look filled his eyes as sorrow filled his heart.
After getting control over Sebastian, Sean was over the moon as he drove himself and Alyssa home. Alyssa, on the other hand, was strangely quiet in the back seat.
"Now that Sebastian is finally willing to side with Mr. Jasper, not only can this turn the public's sentiments around, it will surely also impact Justin's-" Sean's voice trailed off as he trailed gleaned in the rearview mirror. He saw Alyssa leaning her head against the car window. Much to his surprise, tears were streaming down her cheeks while she sat there in silence. en.kikistories "Ms. Alyssa? You..." Sadness welled up in Sean's chest as he recalled the night's events. He looked away, pretending not to notice, and gave her space topose herself.
Just then, Alyssa's phone rang.
Frantically wiping her tears, Alyssa steadied her breath before answering. "Hey, Jonah." "Lyse, I'm in Mosgravia," Jonah said in an extremely worn voice.
"How did it go? Did you find Jul?" Jonah fell silent briefly before answering in a soft and melancholic voice, "I'm sorry, Lyse. I've tried everything, but I still couldn't locate Julien. He might no longer be in Mosgravia." en.kikistories Alyssa's chest tightened. Even so, she consoled Jonah tenderly, "It's alright. Let's think of something else." "Lyse, I'm truly afraid... I'm afraid that I will never be able to find him, ever."
