Chapter 2339
"Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled.
The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face.
Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood.
She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time.
She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading.
Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation.
For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions was like walking into a lion's den. Any slight distraction would be enough for nature to consume them.
*Jasper... I hate you... I really hate your guts...
Alyssa mumbled as she continued moving her legs, which she could no longer feel. As she moved forward, the tears at the corners of her reddened eyes froze.
Initially, she wanted to take this opportunity to take a walk down memory lane with Jasper during this hike. She wanted them to return to that cave where they'd hid from the landslide so they could reminisce about those heart- stopping times they had been through together.
In the end, it all came to naught.
There would not be another chance. She had nothing left.
"Alyssa Taylor... It's time for you to wake up."
Alyssa's teeth were chattering from the cold. She blinked hard, and an ice crystal got into her eye. "He truly doesn't want you anymore... You are no longer important..."
She cried as she uttered those last few words.
Discontentment, helplessness, and agony chewed repeatedly at her badly wounded heart.
While she was crying her eyes out, she missed a step unexpectedly and fell off the slope of the mountain!
As she rolled and rolled, she became covered in snow. She rolled down like a snowball, and in the end, her body slammed heavily against a massive rock at the bottom of the slope.
"Oof!"
Even though she wore a puffer jacket, that dull pain still spread throughout all her limbs. She was in so much pain that she couldn't get to her feet at all.
Just like that, she lay on the ground, staring up at the night sky. The sky was dark, and she was all alone.
After a long while, she gritted her teeth to withstand the pain as she tried to get up from the ground. Nevertheless, both her legs were frozen stiff, and she was unable to stand up no matter how hard she tried.
Just as she was losing all hope, something caught her eye.
That massive rock in front of her marked the same spot where she hid herself when she got lost in the mountains when she was 11.
This was also the place where she first met Jasper and where their story first began.
After all that she had been through, she couldn't believe that she ended up back here.
Devoid of all energy, she leaned against the rock and curled herself up into a ball. With tears flowing down her face, she smiled.
The moment Jasper's private plane landed, he got into his sports car and zoomed toward Crater Mountain on his
own.
Strong winds howled, and a heavy snowfall was imminent. Road conditions were treacherous, and visibility was poor.
As he sped on the freeway, his car tires slipped a few times, almost causing him to get into a major accident. Fortunately, thanks to his excellent driving skills, he was able to avoid such an occurrence.
Just as he was approximately two miles away from Crater Mountain Park-
A black sports car caught up with him like the wind from behind and started driving alongside him. Jasper's palms became clammy as he held onto the steering wheel. He had a feeling that this was not a friendly company. In fact, alarm bells rang throughout every inch of his body, telling him someone was out to get him.
Suddenly, he looked to the side and widened his eyes in shock.
The window of the car next to him was lowered. Through the crazy, chilling winds, he spotted a handsome yet icy face.
It was Remy!
Jasper pressed his lips together tightly. His chest heaved while his temples pounded hard.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
In the next moment, his eyes widened.
Looking completely unmoved, Remy held onto his steering wheel with one hand. Then, he raised his other hand, which was holding firmly onto a gun.
He pointed the muzzle right at Jasper's forehead.
