Tension rose within the empty underground parking lot.

An incandescent bulb cast a harsh white light from the ceiling, drawing an invisible line between Justin and Jasper, separating their worlds-one of harsh light, the other of oppressive darkness.

Sheryl's chest tightened. Instinctively, she lowered her gaze to Justin.

Nonetheless, Justin remained relaxed. He glanced at Jasper with a grim face and said calmly, "As long as it's something I wish to find out, I will have countless ways to do so. Not only did I find out about the promise between you two, but I am also privy to even more of Ms. Alyssa's secrets."

His declaration was a clear display of his ambition and more subtly, a challenge to Jasper.

Jasper's breath hitched, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white and veins bulged.

"Even though you both were once a pair of lovers, I know her way more than you do," Justin uttered with a smile on his face.

Upon saying that, he turned his face away and signaled to Sheryl to wheel him into the car.

"Justin, do you actually have feelings for Alyssa, or are you only hoping to have control over the people and matters that benefit you?" Jasper questioned in a steady voice as a gleam flickered in his eyes.

Justin simply smiled but did not answer. A mocking look flashed across his eyes.
