Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent.
"Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly.
"Not at all." Perhaps he had been expecting too much.

She was strong and perfect as she was-why should he expect her to be anything more? Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore.

Jasper, on the other hand, remainedposed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on.
"What's the password?" Jasper asked gently, his voice steady as his gaze met Alyssa's tear-filled eyes.
With trembling hands, Alyssa took the phone and entered Axel's birthdate. The screen unlocked instantly.
In the photo album, they found images of documents.
Amber, wary of unexpected events, had saved a copy of the documents on her phone.
Instinctively, Jasper leaned in, his head close to Alyssa's as they studied the contents together.
Both proficient in Grunslandish, they read through the document with ease.
Landon, curious, peeked over their shoulders. Unfortunately, his lack of Grunslandish skills rendered the text iprehensible to him.
"RC Biotechnology Research Institute. That's theanization behind the human drug experiments. They're the ones who released that drug!" Her fiery gaze locked with Jasper's.
"Yeah. These photos must be of the documents Amber found at The Millenium. Jameson probably didn't have tto take them with him and left them behind." "In that case," Landon interjected, his voice anxious, "was Amber being hunted because of this?" "He likely kept this experiment report as leverage against RC. Now that Jameson and his men are dead, who else would want this document?" The atmosphere grew tense.
All signs pointed to Justin and Sheryl. They were the only ones wary of Amber.

"Damn it. That darn bastard!" Landon roared, clenching his fists.

"You and she are alike in that way." Alyssa's heart skipped a beat, but she pressed on. "If she called me, it must have been for something important." Despite her efforts, the answer eluded her.

We were in the smilitary academy and share a good rapport. He might listen to me." en.kikistories Landon shook his head in disbelief. Jasper had a sharp tongue and little tact-convincing Axel seemed like a stretch.
In the end, Jasper and Landon escorted a drained Alyssa into the car, leaving Xavier to drive her back to her place in Belbanks. "Jasper, what do you think-" Before Landon could even finish his sentence, a loud crash startled him.
Jasper, his eyes blazing, had slammed his fist into the car window, shattering it.
After suppressing his fury for so long, he finally let it explode in front of Landon after Alyssa had left.
"I won't spare him," Jasper growled, his voice trembling with rage.
"Who?" "Justin and that bitch working under him."
