Alyssa was reminded of the past the moment she heard Javier had arrived. Knowing he had never been particularly fond of her, she rose to her feet. "Grandpa Newton, I'll step out for a while so you and your family can have some space."
Jasper's gaze darkened, his heart skipping a beat. He was about to ask her to stay, but Newton beat him to it.
Grabbing Alyssa's slightly cold hands, Newton pulled her back down beside him. "What nonsense are you spouting, Alyssa? You're not an outsider. If anything, you're closer to me than my own son. You're my most beloved granddaughter-in-law!"
Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes. "Grandpa Newton…"
Newton snorted. "Just be yourself, even in front of Jasper's father. Do as you please. You and I are family. As for him and me…. Hmph, that's another matter entirely."
At that, Jasper's lips curved faintly.
Moments later, Ben led Javier in, with Rory trailing behind. Javier was usually impeccably dressed, carrying himself with quiet authority. But today, he looked utterly defeated. Even Newton couldn't hide his shock.
"What happened to you, Javier? How did you end up like this?"
"Dad…" Javier's voice was hoarse. After a sleepless night, his eyes were bloodshot. "There's something important I need to discuss with you in private."
"What is it? Just say it here."
Newton had already shared the greatest secret of his life with Alyssa and Jasper. To him, there was nothing left to hide.
"If you won't say it, then save it for another day. I want Alyssa and Jasper to stay with me today. It's so rare that they visit, and I don't want to waste a single moment of our time together."
A suffocating silence settled over the room.
"Mr. Javier, now that it has come to this, just say it!"
Rory could no longer hold back. He stepped to Javier's side, his reddened eyes blazing. "Mr. Justin is no longer the innocent, gentle man he once was. That version of him is gone. Now… Now, he's a monster through and through!
"Your family has never truly been united, never worked toward the same goal. And now, if you keep thinking only of yourself, it won't just be Mr. Beckett Senior or Mr. Jasper who suffers.

Please give us a proper ending. I can't believe that we reached as far as chapter 2483 and the story is still hanging. We would love at least for Alyssa and Jasper to be reunited without hassles....
