“It’s really a fine plan, Mr. Jasper!” Xavier said, then asked timidly, “It’s just, with Madam’s

personality,

there’s a risk she just might win over Ada Kingsley. Why don’t we …”

“Get to the point.”

“Why don’t we let Madam have this small win instead? It doesn’t determine the final victor

anyway. We’ll

be the gentlemen in this scenario and let the lady have it. Plus, you two were married

before-”

No!” Jasper said sharply. “If we can’t move Alexa, then we have no choice but to start from

Ada Kingsley.

Alyssa must be in the same boat as us if she’s doing the same thing.

“Every whiff of progress is enough to set us back to square one. We cannot let her have

this win. We need

Ada to attend our welcoming party no matter the cost!”

Jasper then entered his car while Xavier was left standing there alone. The latter’s face

slowly crumbled

into despair.

Jasper pondered how his boss could ever win back Alyssa with the current approach.

Jasper sighed heavily in his seat. He was actually considering Xavier’s suggestion to let

Alyssa win this

round.

But he had never won anything involving Alyssa ever since their divorce. She seemed to

be leagues above

him, shattering his entire plans in seconds, as if by divine intervention.

He realized how different Alyssa was now compared to that gentle, demure woman who

used to be his

wife. Her intelligence, beauty, and grace seemed to be setting them apart for good.

That was why Jasper needed to win. It was one of the only ways he knew to reduce the

wide gap between

them.

Landon had to leave for ACE for a client meeting later that night, leaving only his mother

and sister at

home.

Zoe went to her mother’s room, nuzzling into her mother’s arms before sleep.

Penelope recalled what had transpired during dinner and told her daughter, “You’ve scared

off Jasper with your enthusiasm, Zoe. It might be best to turn it down a notch.”

Penelope sighed. “You’re not ten anymore, and he’s not just your ‘brother’ to play around

with any longer.

“He’s the CEO of his family’s company now, which puts him in a critical position where no

mistakes can be made. The way you interacted with him earlier today might not be

appropriate. I think it-”

“Mom.” Zoe sat up, meeting her mother’s gaze. “I wasn’t playing around earlier, and I

don’t think of him as just a playmate anymore.”

“What do you mean?”

“Why do you think I refused the dream offer from RYO? I’m back in Solana City because I

want to marry Jasper and be his wife.”

“What?” Penelope cried, sitting up in shock. “Are you crazy? He’s like a brother to you!”

“Yes, but he’s not my actual brother!” Zoe said excitedly. “I’ve waited so long for him to

finally end things with that Gardner chick. Now that they’re over, I finally get my chance.”

Penelope was concerned for her daughter, who was deep in her merry fantasies.

“What is it, Mom? Don’t you want us to be together?” Zoe asked, shaking her mother’s

hand.

“No, no. It’s just that Jasper is a wonderful man, but he’s not a good choice for marriage.

Not only was he involved with Liana Gardner, but I heard from your brother that he was

even married once.

“You’re too naive, Zoe. Jasper has a complicated past. I’m so worried you’ll find yourself

unhappy and

suffer if you marry him!”

Zoe sneered internally. She considered herself far from naive; in fact, Betty Beckett

seemed to be the one

who fit that description better.

If Zoe married into Jasper’s family, she would make sure those women cowered under her.

Her mother

truly underestimated her.

“I’m Zoe Harper, Mom. Our family is just as reputable as theirs. Plus, with you and Landon

doting on me

so much, they wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on me.”

“But this is a two-way transaction, Zoe. You still need Jasper to want to marry you!”

Zoe grinned. “My winning chances are already higher than most because of you and

Landon around. If I can prove to Jasper that I’m no longer the child I used to be and that

I’m fit to stand beside him, helping

him out, I’m sure he’ll see me for who I am!”

“But-”

“No buts! I’m marrying Jasper and no one else!”
