Chapter 256
Alyssa, Sean, and Tatiana arrived at the former’s private villa around four in the morning.
Having been worried about her sister, Tatiana had forced herself to stay awake. Her tired, bloodshot eyes were a somber sight.
“Don’t blame yourself anymore, Taty. I’mreally okay. Don’t you have a class in the morning? Go and get some sleep,” Alyssa said, hugging her sister.
“Am I useless?” Tatiana mumbled, tearswelling up in her eyes.
She continued, You’ve always protected me since I was a kid, yet now that I’m older,I can’t do anything to protect you in return…”
“Silly girl.”Alyssa gently tapped herforehead.”Our family is better because of
you and your mother. We love taking care of you and watching you grow.
“If you really want to do something forme, then pursue your dreams and never give up. When you make it big in the world of celebrities, I plan to make you an ambassador for my business. What do you think?”
“I will realize my dreams, Alyssa. You cancount on me!” Tatiana said, wiping away her tears.
Later, she cleaned up and went to bed to rest. Alyssa tucked her in and bi d her goodnight before exiting the room.
Sean was already waiting for her in the study.
“Any findings on why Liana washospitalized?”The gentleness in Alyssa’s eyes had swiftly turned to a keen, alert stillness.
“Yes. She attempted suicide by slitting herwrists. She has made it past the critical
hour,” Sean replied, narrowing his eyes before adding,”with Jasper Beckett’s supervision.”
“Of course. He’d remain by her side evenif he died and had become a ghost.”Alyssa scowled.
“What do you think about Liana’s actions,Ms. Alyssa?”
“It’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year.”Alyss a massaged her temples.
Then, she added, “She hasn’t had a taste of being Mrs. Beckett yet, nor has she killed me. She wouldn’t die so soon. Plus, if she genuinely wanted to kill herself, she would have made sure no one found her.”
“So you mean to say she’s using this toforce Jasper’s hand?” Sean frowned.”But why such a risky move? Isn’t their wedding date right around the corner? Is it possible that Jasper has changed his mind about the marriage?”
Sean sighed. “No, Ms. Alyssa. I can’t disobey your direct orders.”
“Oh, good then.”
Just then, Alyssa’s phone rang. The caller ID read, “Big Bro.”
Alyssa bit her lip, gingerly handing her
phone to Sean. She could almost hear her brother’s wrath even without answering his call.
Sean couldn’t avoid answering, so he did.”Sir.”
“Pass the phone to Alyssa.”
Beside Sean, Alyssa’s eye twitched nervously.
