Chapter 148

Liana had begged Sophia for those two invitation cards. Her resentment at having to stoop

so low had now destrated

“Why didn’t you tell me we were coming to an event like this? You know I don’t like these

things.” Jasper ommided mutally his lay light belztight

“I wouldn’t have been able to ask Ms. Emerson to make my wedding dress for me, given

my social status. That’s why i wanted por la come. She’s sure to agree to my request if

you ask her.”

Jasper’s lace had darkened. Liana hurriedly added, “I’m really sorry I didn’t tell you

beforehand

“Just tell me next time. I could have sent someone to come in my stead.” Jasper sighed,

though his tone had sollened considerably now

“I promise I will next time.”

Just then, a set of familiar footsteps rang out from behind them. It was a precise and

confident stride, Jasper instantly recognizal who il

was.

He turned around.

Alyssa approached them. She was dressed in an azure sundress and matching coal. She

stood out against shrubs. Her hair was in an elegant bun today, revealing her neck. She

didn’t wear lipstick but still stood out.

Some women didn’t need makeup to look beautiful. Some queens didn’t need a crown to

command power

Llana had turned green with envy and hatred.

backdrop of pink rose

She thought she had dressed strikingly enough in red. Yet the minute Alyssa had walked

in, she had been delivered a resounding defeat

Jasper swallowed hard, unable to move his eyes away from Alyssa

Alyssa ignored him. She walked past him as if he were Invisible.

That fueled the flames of irritation in his chest.

“Oh? I never thought I’d see you here, Ms. White. It must have been hard to get an

invitation to this event, huh? Liana said in a mocking

tone.

“It wasn’t easy.” Alyssa smiled. “Only those who are unbelievably close or on good terms

with Rose Emerson would be invited today, and each one a pillar in the fashion

community–that or a VIP client of hers, I wonder which category you fall into, Ms. Gardner?

“I-” Liana turned red, as if she had just been slapped in the face.

Alyssa’s words had successfully drawn everyone else’s attention to Liana and Jasper,

“None. Ms. Gardner. The same goes for Mr. Beckelt. You two must have had an

exceedingly hard time getting here, hm? Alyssa cocked

her head.

Enraged, Liana stormed up to her, finger in her face. “You and everyone else here know

who Jasper is! Do you really think Ms. Emerson would refuse him if he asked to be here

today?”

Alyssa nodded courteously. “You have a point there.”

“What about you? What right do you have to attend today’s event, huh? Are you some

‘pillar‘ of the community? Or some big client?”

“None of that, I’m afraid.”

“So what if you’re dressed up nicely? You’re just a country bum who got her golden ticket

early on in lifel Liana shrieked. She could only humiliate Alyssa this way.

She was terrified that Alyssa might suddenly reveal she was married to Jasper. If that

happened, Liana would be labeled a sleazy mistress.

“That’s enough, Lia!” Jasper ordered, his tone sharp.

Everyone’s gaze then fell back on Alyssa.

Was this remarkable and beautiful young woman really from the country? They couldn’t

tell one bit. Her sense of fashion and confidence

“Ms. Emerson is here!‘ someone suddenly cried out

Above the quests on a winding staircase was Rose Emerson herself, slowly descending.

She was dressed in a rose–colored jumpsuit straight from her brand Rozabeta, her hime

cut hairstyle giving her a proud, royal look

But the moment she spotted Alyssa amongst the quests, her expression changed.

A grin spread across her face as she ran the remaining way downstairs.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming over, Madam? I’ve missed you, you old geezer!”

She squealed happily, running toward Alyssa.

He didn’t like how things were going. He never participated in any dinner parties or high

tea events unless he had to meet with a client. Right now, he fell like he was being taken

advantage of by Llana

Sure enough, his appearance shocked many of the quests.

Isn’t that Jasper teckell from Beckett Group?

“Who’s that woman with him? How lucky the must bel
