Time was ticking. The press conference was about to begin.

Landon escorted Sebastian out of the manor and into Jasper's car. He glanced at Jasper, who sat in the back seat, his expression calm and composed.

With concern etched on his face, Landon said, "Jasper, let me come with you. I can't feel at ease otherwise."

Jasper met Landon's gaze, firm and aloof. "Don't worry, Landon. You've done enough. It's time for you to step back."

If Landon continued to help, he would only get caught up in the chaos.

Despite his current difficulty in articulating his feelings, Jasper couldn't forget that this was his best friend, the one he'd stood by for more than 20 years.

Landon had endured so much to finally be happy with Lauren, and Jasper wasn't about to be the one to disrupt that hard-earned happiness.

"Don't worry, Mr. Harper," Xavier reassured.
