Alyssa narrowed her eyes, her gaze cold.

The man before her often disguised his vile and vicious nature beneath a fragile exterior. Justin was everything Jasper wasn't—where Jasper was honest, strong, and serious, Justin exuded a chilling, sinister energy. He was like a snake in human form, cold and cunning.

"Lyse, don't listen to his nonsense," Silas said bluntly. "He's just trying to unsettle you, luring you in with lies."

Stepping forward, Silas positioned himself between Alyssa and Justin, confronting the latter. "Are you some plague or sewer pest? Why are you always around? You're not welcome here. Get out of Lyse's sight right now!"

Justin ignored the jab. Instead, he turned to Abel with a composed smile. "Dr. Liverton, I'll have one of my subordinates deliver a box of stroke-suppressing medication shortly."
