Jasper's eyes dimmed, and his chapped lips curled downward in a tight frown.

Alarm bells rang in Xavier's mind. He rushed forward and stood in front of Jasper's hospital bed as if shielding him from a threat.

For once, Justin's usual bright demeanor was replaced by something colder-grim and calculating. His eyes burned with unspoken anger, and it was clear he wasn't here for a social call.

Upon noticing all that, Winston frowned.

"Mr. Justin, Mr. Jasper is injured. I wonder which fool let his dog loose to harm him. Through gritted teeth, Xavier urged Justin to leave. "Mr. Jasper doesn't wish to entertain any visitors right now. He needs rest. Please leave!"

Upon hearing that, the look in Justin's eyes dimmed subtly.

In reality, Xavier had no idea who the mastermind was. He was simply blowing the matter out of proportion, driven by his frustration and anger.

Unexpectedly, Justin had taken his casual remark to heart.

Not wanting Winston to witness the awkward tension between the Becketts, Jasper hissed under his breath," Xavier, don't be rude to Justin."

Justin ignored Xavier but looked to Winston instead. He lifted the corners of his lips slightly into an elegant smile. "Apologies for barging in, Mr. Winston."

Winston forced a smile in return. "No need for apologies, Mr. Justin. I am an outsider here. You and Jasper are brothers, after all. It's more like I'm the nuisance here."

Justin's gaze hardened. "Mr. Winston, I'm afraid I must ask for a moment alone with my brother."
