Nina paced back and forth in the garden after speaking to Alyssa on the phone. She was in distress.

This was the first time she had ever done something like this in her life. Her heart wasn't strong enough to take it.

She returned to the villa anxiously.

All of a sudden, her heart stopped for a second. Jasper, who hadn't returned for a long time, entered the villa.

"Mr. Beckett ... Mr. Beckett!"

Nina broke into a sweat. Her face paled as she ran after Jasper. She went in front of him to block him.

She had been working as a maid here for many years, but she never dared to talk to him. She had no idea where she got the courage to charge toward him.

Jasper frowned slightly. "What can I do for you?"

"I-I ... You ..." Nina cursed herself for getting tongue-tied now.

"You can take your time." Jasper looked at her lightly.

He had never had this level of patience before. Now, Alyssa had completely influenced him. He was more easygoing and rational now.

Nina bit her lip hard. Her face reddened. She contemplated telling Jasper the truth—that Sophia had killed his mother.
