Alyssa leaned forward, jolted from the emotional turmoil.
Suddenly, Winston growled sternly, “Alyssa Taylor, what do you plan to do?”
She sensed pressure and turned to look at her father.
Winston accused, “Are you going to confront Zoe Harper over a man? I hope you’re not as shamelessas that woman. Do not make me lose my respect for you, and don’t bring shame to our family!”
Alyssa pressed her lips tightly together. Jameson, happy at Winston’s intervention, grinned as hedowned the champagne in his flute.novelbin
Just when Zoe was about to touch Jasper, he stood up without warning, causing her to lose herbalance and fall on her butt. The Harpers’ bodyguards went up to help Zoe. However, it only addedfurther humiliation as she attracted unwanted attention from the other guests.
Jasper glared daggers at Zoe. “Ms. Zoe, please behave.” His warning clapped like a frighteningthunder.
Alyssa quietly smiled when Jasper distanced himself from Zoe, her heart dripping with honey. No otherman was as trustworthy and as loyal as Jasper.
Zoe was further incensed when she saw the stifled laughs of the guests. Similarly, Cornelius wasenraged but had no good reason to unleash his anger on Jasper. After all, it was Zoe who hadshamelessly attempted to gain Jasper’s favor in the public eye.
“Tsk tsk. The Harper family did not raise their daughter right. If she were my daughter, I would havetaught her a lesson for doing so,” from new money, Zoe Harper can’t hold a candle to Lyse’s
classiness. Lyse is ladylike.”
“Sure, Lyse is from old money, but she’s no lady. Don’t flatter her. She’s just a cheeky monkey,”Winston mocked his daughter and shot Alyssa a glance. “Have you forgotten how many times shebroke the glass at home and at your place when she was a kid?”
Upon hearing that, Alyssa pouted, unhappy at how Winston had taunted her by bringing up the past.
“How could you call your daughter a monkey? She’s just energetic and lively-different from the otheryoung ladies! I like her a lot.
So what if she breaks all the glass at home? She can even destroy the entire house as she pleases.We’ll just build a new one!” Victor remarked, sounding extremely pleased at his future daughter-in-law,
Xavier escorted Jasper for an outfit change. At the same time, S closed her legs and bent over as shequivered.
Things were getting bad. She battled with agonizing pain, feeling thankful for not having taken a drop ofwater that day. Otherwise, she would have peed herself right there.
Ever since Alyssa settled in her seat, she had been silently observing Sophia. Just like what Tristanhad said, Sophia would struggle to participate in outdoor events for long, given her current condition.
Alyysa’s eyes squinted hard as an idea flashed across her mind. She rose with her champagne glassand addressed the audience, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for gracing the event with yourpresence. I am glad to have met with many respectable figures, as well as spending time with familyand friends.
“I am pleasantly surprised and hon presence here today. As you all might know, Mr. Jesselton is thebusiness legend from Mosgravia, and his son is the CEO of Jesselton Incorporated.”
Beaming brightly, she toasted Ezzo and Zeke in fluent and melodious. Grunslandish, “I will raise myglass to the Jesseltons. Welcome to Solana City!”
With that, she tossed her head and downed the champagne with grace.
