Chapter 311
After returning from a management meeting, Jasper rested on the leather chair in the Beckett Grouppresident’s office, visibly exhausted.novelbin
News of his breakup with Liana must have spread within the company. Nonetheless, not one employeein the building dared to gossip about him lest they got into trouble.
As the vice chair of the board of directors, Jasper was de facto yielding the most power in the company.Somehow, that did not bring him any happiness at all.
“I’m surprised that Sophia was able to pay off the Gardners’ debts. It looks like she has siphoned quitea lot of money. This is the perfect time to pay it all back.” Xavier gloated at Sophia’s misfortune.
“Henry was her tool to collect wealth, but he’s in jail now. The fact that she could afford to pay the tensof millions in debt goes to show that she has other channel’s of getting the money.” Jasper’s half-opened eyes gleamed dangerously.
“Could she have made money … from that luxury store, EV Concepts?” Xavier widened his eyes indisbelief. “It’s just an ordinary store selling luxury bags and clothes. Even if their sales are off the roof,it’s impossible to make that much in profits!”
“You’re still naive after all these years of following me around.” Frowning, Jasper launched a paperplane that landed right on Xavier’s chest.
“The EV Concepts store is the front of an extensive web of connections that Sophia built over a fewyears. She might be selling luxury items on the surface, but she is secretly dealing with the exchangeof titles, power, and even darker illegal shit.”
Xavier shuddered at the thought. “We’ve underestimated that witch!”
“No, I haven’t. I don’t take my enemies lightly.” Jasper pinched his nose bridge and sneered. “But it’snot
time to get rid of Sophia yet.
“She is well-connected in the city and is protected by Javier. We don’t have evidence to drag her down,
and it’s not the right time. Play with fire, and she’ll get burned. Time is on our side.”
Xavier nodded with resentment. “Right! Sooner or later, we’ll make that witch a sacrifice!”
“How’s things going for Ada Kingsley’s wedding?” Jasper shifted the topic suddenly.
“Our team has amended the wedding planning proposal. We’re ready to meet with her team at anytime.”
Xavier paused and prodded tentatively, “On that matter… I thought you wanted to make it up toMadam.

“Why don’t you give up Ada Kingsley’s wedding to KS World? I believe Madam will be…”
“Why should I?” Jasper glared at him coldly. “I’m indebted to Alyssa, not KS. Why would I give theopportunity to Taylor Group?”
Xavier stood dumbfounded. He was bewildered by Jasper’s rationale.
“She once said I must give my best in any business competition against her. I would offend her if Ithrew the game now.”
Glancing down, Jasper added, “Let’s go with what we planned. I will not break my principles for anyoneor anything. I’m not Jameson Schmidt.”
Xavier blinked in confusion. Why did Jasper sound a little begrudging there?
Jasper’s phone vibrated on the table from Landon’s incoming call.
“What’s the matter?” Jasper spoke with a deadpan look.
“Jasper, I got my hands on two VIP tickets for Christina Hammond’s concert! She’s that famous pianist,you know. Let’s go together!” Landon was excited.
“You, at a concert? Do you even appreciate piano music?” Jasper did not hold back at all.
“Tsk, of course I do.” Landon was no stranger to Jasper’s sarcasm and took it well. “Come on, join me!I’ll pick you up from the lobby, alright?”
“I’m not going.”
“Why? Are you hiding in your room, crying over the breakup? I can’t believe you’re so heartbroken overLiana Gardner. Why? Does it take time to adjust to life after years of being cuckolded?” Landon madefun of Jasper in retaliation.
Jasper furrowed his brows in disgust. “Stop putting me and Liana in the same sentence. It’s sickening.I’m
hanging up.”
“H-Hold on!” Landon had no choice but to confess, “It’s Zoe. She’s back from studying in Yoarkley.She’ll
be performing as a guest pianist at Christina’s concert tonight.
“I had wanted to surprise you at the concert, but you didn’t want to go. You’re no fun at all!”
