Jasper peered at the stage, but Alyssa had long left. He could only frown, brows knit

d the glass and left the scene before anyone could catch her.

Alyssa never showed up in front of Newton again after Winston’s arrival.

Jasper found himself with no appetite whatsoever, even as countless delicious dishes were

served as the evening went on. He kept alancing around the venue, his eyes brooding and

sad.

“A toast to your health, Mr. Taylor!” Landon cried, raising his glass. “You’re truly blessed to

be married to a woman such as Alice White! I hope you appreciate her and love her with

all your heart. She deserves it.”

Jonah smiled and clinked his glass with Landon’s. “Oh, I won’t. I’ll treat her like a queen

every single day of my life.”

Landon cleared his throat, then gave the man his name card. “This is my card, and there’s

my phone number. A pleasure to be an

acquaintance, Mr. Taylor.”

Jonah raised an eyebrow. “I know who you are, Mr. Harper. We can skip the pleasantries.”

“Oh, but I’m sure there’s something you don’t know about me. I’m interested in Alice,

too,” Landon said without an ounce of holding back.

Jasper’s hand around his wine glass tightened.

Jonah seemed unperturbed. “Oh?”

“There’s always a bigger fish, Mr. Harper. Alice has a long list of admirers. If you lose

feelings or interest in her one day, don’t be shy. Call me, and I’ll sweep her away in my

arms.”

Landon’s gaze was lirm and steady. It didn’t look like he was joking at all.

Jonah grinned, finding Landon amusing. “Thank you for the reminder. But I’m sure that will

never come to pass.”

Jasper couldn’t stand it anymore. He stood up and left the table.

Though these two men hadn’t mentioned his name once, it felt like they were throwing

sarcastic jabs at him non–stop. It was unbearable

The moment he left the table and the main venue, someone smashed into his chest. It

was Liana.

“Jasper!”

Just then, he noticed a familiar ligure walking by in the distance.

It was Alyssa.

He opened his mouth as il about to speak, but then Liana forcefully kissed him on the lips.

Alyssa just so happened to turn and look at them. She grimaced just the slightest upon

seeing this sight, then turned away as if nothing had happened, leaving them alone.

Jasper’s heart lightened. He immediately shoved Liana away, nearly making her fall on her

feet.

“You Why did you push me? How could you?” Liana cried.

Jasper grilled his teeth, wiping away the lipstick on his face. “You know I despise being

forced against my will.”
