Alyssa noticed the distress and wariness on Newton's face and assumed that she might have breached a sensitive family topic. It would be inappropriate for her to press for an answer.

Despite always being sensible, she somehow developed a deep interest in the matter that concerned

Jasper.

She blurted out boldly, "Grandpa, is there any tension between Jasper and Justin? And is that related to

their kidnapping case when they were younger?"

Newton looked astonished. Wide-eyed, he gasped, "Y-You knew about the kidnapping?"

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I didn't intend to overstep. Alyssa apologized.

After a pause, she whispered, "Jasper mentioned Justin to me a while ago. He'd promised to tell me the truth later and that he won't keep anything from me.

"For now, only Dr. Liverton and I are aware of the diagnosis. Grandpa, don't worry. Dr. Liverton is a trustworthy acquaintance of mine. He'll keep it confidential," she reassured.

Alyssa felt thoroughly puzzled. After deep consideration, she prodded, "Grandpa, under normal circumstances, the family business would go to the eldest, which means Justin should have been the heir of the Beckett Group.
