Chapter 1101
Alyssa coldly observed Jameson’s fake act as she clutched her fists.
Winston cast an affectionate gaze at Jameson and said warmly,” Attaboy. I know your feelings. Don’tworry. You’ll have many more opportunities to spend time with Lyse.”
The onlookers gasped at Winston’s response as the cameras captured the interaction. As a legendarybusinessman who was at the top of his field, Winston had never shown such affinity with men youngerthan him. He clearly approved of Jameson as his future son- in-law candidate.
Someone mumbled softly, “Why do I have a feeling that… Mr. Taylor intended to matchmake Mr.Jameson and Ms. Alyssa?”
“It appears like that to me as well. He’s always cold to Mr. Beckett but friendly with Mr. Jameson. It’s aclear sign, isn’t it?
“Besides, everyone in business knows that Victor Schmidt and Winston Taylor are good friends. Mr.Taylor spoilt his stubborn daughter. He wouldn’t have approved of her marriage to Mr. Beckettotherwise. Instead, he would have married her off to Mr. Jameson.”
“But Ms. Alyssa’s heart seems set on Jasper Beckett. They even walked the red carpet like they’regetting back together.”
“Pfft. What good is that? Women from esteemed families have no say in their choice of husband. Mr.Taylor might have given her freedom once, but he would never allow it again.”
“An arranged marriage between the Taylors and the Schmidts will be big news. That will certainly shiftthe dynamics of the business world in Solana City.
Alyssa ‘couldn’t bear listening to the gossip around her and hurried away with a heavy expression.Jameson rushed after her with concern. “Lyse, what’s wrong? Are you still angry over what Zoe did?”
She maintained her stride in silence. He persisted. “Lyse, I have many ways to cheer you up if you’restill upset. I’ll do anything for you as long as it makes you happy.”
Halting in her tracks, she questioned, “Do you have evidence of Zoe framing me?”
“No. I played tricks on her because I knew she would crumble under the guilt,” Jameson admittedopenly with a chuckle.
“From my understanding of Zoe Harper, she is more resilient and shameless than Betty Beckett. Doyou think she’ll cower under your threat when she has the backing of Mr. Cornelius and Landon?” Shestared at him with doubt. “Or did she back off purely out of consideration of your relationship with her?”
Alyssa’s words were full of sarcasm, but it played into Jameson’s plan. Adjusting his glasses, heconcealed the sly glint in his eyes, explaining, “Lyse, I have no relationship with any woman except foryou.”
“Oh, quit it. I have a lover. No matter how interested you are in me, I will not feel the same for you.” Herharsh reply was akin to a blade that pierced through his heart.
Feeling bitter, he began, “Lyse, I-”novelbin
“I do not wish to take away your right to a healthy relationship,” she said with a smirk and called himout. “Don’t waste your effort. You can suck up to my father as much as you’d like, but I’d never leave.Jasper for you.”
On the other hand, Jasper had been working closely and discreetly with Xavier to launch their nextmove.
When he heard that Zoe had nearly tainted Alyssa’s reputation, he rushed to the scene at lightningspeed, but it was too late.
The guests and the reporters had left. He and Xavier stood blankly at the scene.
Xavier reported, “Mr. Beckett, I just checked the trending topics. Zoe apologized to Madam and is nowbeing attacked by the netizens. Everyone is speaking up for Madam.”
