I let out a helpless sigh, turned my head to the side, and even rolled my eyes. Why is Caden always like this? Speechless. I'm really speechless. "I already told you I didn't do anything. I was just discussing work with Mr. Crawford. Don't try to control my life." "Don't control your life?" Caden let out a cold laugh, clearly displeased with what I said. Before I could finish explaining, he kissed me—forcefully, just like he always does. The kiss was intense and overwhelming, almost causing me to lose my breath. It wasn't until over ten seconds later, when my phone started ringing, that he reluctantly let me go, looking annoyed. I looked at him helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, stop messing around ... My phone's ringing. I'm going to answer it." I took out my phone and had just said hello when I heard Grandpa's voice on the other end. Surprised and excited, my tone instantly lifted. "Grandpa! Why are you only calling me now? I've missed you—" Grandpa chuckled warmly on the phone. "I saw on TV the past few days that you're getting engaged to Caden. I figured since I've got some spare time, I might as well come back and attend your engagement ceremony." "Really?" I laughed. "That's great! When are you coming to Rivemon? I'll come pick you up!" "In a few days. I'll call you once I arrive," Grandpa said with a smile. I happily agreed and chatted with him for a bit more before hanging up. Then I turned to Caden and said, "Grandpa called. He said he'll be coming to Rivemon in a few days to attend our engagement ceremony. That's great. I haven't seen him in such a long time." Caden had calmed down by now and smiled a little. He placed a hand on my shoulder, gave it a light pat, and said, "Alright, when Grandpa arrives, let me know. We'll go pick him up together." Jasper's POV: Naomi was discharged from the hospital today. As her senior, I helped her handle the discharge paperwork and supported her the whole way out.As we stepped outside the hospital doors, Naomi lowered her head slightly, looking a little embarrassed. "Jasper, I'm really fine now ... " "Naomi!" Naomi looked up in surprise. Kelsey came running over with a bouquet of lilies in his hands, smiling brightly. "I knew you were getting discharged today, so I came to pick you up! How are you feeling? Are you fully recovered? Come on, I'll take you home." As he spoke, he reached out, trying to grab Naomi's hand. She stiffened instantly and quickly clutched the hem of my sleeve, looking at me with pleading eyes. I frowned, glaring at Kelsey with disgust. "You again?" Kelsey shot me a glare right back. "Seriously, Jasper, why are you always hovering around like a ghost? I came to pick Naomi up, so why are you here? Are you just trying to mess with me?" Without thinking, I stepped in front of Naomi, shielding her behind me. "I already warned you not to bother Naomi. Don't mess with anyone from our company. It seems you ignored my warning, huh?" Kelsey looked me up and down with a mocking sneer. "So what if I listen to you? And what if I don't? Jasper, do you think you're some kind of king that everyone has to obey? What's with you being so protective of Naomi? Don't tell me you've got a thing for her too!" Naomi's face turned pale. The anger inside me was slowly rising. That one sentence from Kelsey not only insulted me but humiliated her as well. "What, no comeback? Did I hit a nerve? Jasper, I didn't expect you to be a traitor too. Weren't you all about Rosaline—" I couldn't take it anymore. My fist landed squarely on his face with a dull thud. Kelsey fell to the ground, groaning as he clutched his face and started cursing me out, "Jasper, what the hell's wrong with you?! Are you crazy?!" "What's wrong with me? I'm doing what your parents should've done—teaching that filthy mouth of yours a lesson!" I charged at him again, losing all reason as we started to grapple and fight. Naomi was panicking, trying desperately to pull us apart, but couldn't get in between. "Jas-Jasper, Mr. Row ... please stop fighting. This is the hospital entrance. Please—just stop ... " Rosaline's POV:I was in my office, hands braced against the desk, eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of me. A video was playing—Jasper and Kelsey fighting in public. The person who filmed it even caught Naomi in the frame. I frowned, a headache already creeping in. "Where's Jasper? Tell him to get back here," I said as I pulled out my phone and called his assistant. The PR department was already working on controlling the damage on Twitter—dealing with the video and the gossip articles spreading like wildfire. An hour later, Jasper and Naomi finally returned to the office. Naomi followed timidly behind him, eyes red, tear stains on her cheeks. She didn't dare speak when she entered the CEO's office, keeping her head low, looking all pitiful and wronged. Jasper had a visible bruise on his face, a red mark at the corner of his mouth. His expression was icy, and he didn't say a word. "Oh, so you do know you need to come back?" I said coldly, lips pressed into a tight line. The moment I saw him step in, I couldn't hold back my anger. I seriously couldn't tell if Jasper's brain had stopped working. Did he not understand how much influence he had? And he actually got into a street brawl with another werewolf. The damage this caused was a total disaster!
