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.
