Chapter 350

Sophia instantly introduced herself, a hint of pride in her tone. “I’m Beckett Group’s

president’s wife, Sophia Kirkman.”

“I don’t understand what she’s saying, Mr. Jasper. You don’t need to translate for me,

though. I’m not interested in her.” Ada didn’t look at Sophia again, continuing her

conversation in Furancian with Jasper.

Sophia could only understand a quarter of what they were saying. When she was about to

re-introduce herself in Furancian, Jasper said lightly to Ada, “We don’t see eye to eye, and

I don’t plan on introducing

irrelevant people to you either, Ms. Kingsley.”

Sophia froze in place upon hearing that.

A flurry of snickers and sarcasm rose from the crowd around her.

“Wow! Ada’s really brave for turning down Mrs. Beckett like that. Who knew she was just

as flawless when

being herself as she was when acting?”

“Are you kidding me? Why would Ada Kingsley give a shit about our country’s business

and economy? She’s Mosgravian, for God’s sake. ‘Beckett Group’s president’s wife’ my

ass!”

“Right? Sophia Kirkman can shove her snobbishness elsewhere!”

Sophia’s face flushed in embarrassment. Still, she had to keep her image up. So, she

forced another

smile. “We’re happy you decided to attend our hotel’s party tonight, Ms. Kingsley.

“I’m sure you know all about our competitor, KS World Hotel. As the company’s matriarch,

I am truly

honored you chose us over them.”

Jasper’s gaze grew cold when he heard Sophia referring to herself as the company’s

matriarch. He

scoffed inwardly.

Xavier quickly stepped in to translate for Sophia out of kindness.

“I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood my being here.” Ada shook her head. “Both Berenike

Hotel and KS World

Hotel are wonderful in their own right, but I didn’t choose to attend your event because of

the hotel’s

reputation.

“I did so because Mr. Jasper has proven himself an honorable, sincere, and charismatic

individual worthy

of my attention.”

Sophia’s cheeks burned once again as if she had been slapped.

Though Ada seemed distant from the mundane affairs of the world, she was secretly an

intelligent and

keen woman.

If she had agreed to Sophia’s words in public, she would be acknowledging that Berenike

Hotel was

better than KS World Hotel.

Not only would that offend the latter, but it would also mean she had chosen Berenike

Hotel to have her

wedding at.

Ada wasn’t so stupid as to fall for Sophia’s trap!

Right when the atmosphere grew awkward, the main hall doors opened.

Zoe walked in in a Swavroski studded pink tulle gown, looking like some fairytale creature.

“Is that world-famous pianist Christina Hammond’s student Zoe Harper?”

“She’s not just her student. She’s also Landon Harper’s kid sister!”

“Landon Harper’s kid sister? You mean my future sister-in-law?”

“Who would my sister-in-law be in that case? Betty Beckett? Ugh! I don’t like her. She’s

fucking weird, man.

In a corner of the hall, Betty sneezed.

She had noticed Zoe already. She was scanning for Landon next. Unfortunately, the man

was nowhere to

be found. It looked like she really had lucked out with him.

Zoe was unbearably pleased with how the crowd’s gaze turned from Ada to her.

She had persuaded Jasper to allow her to perform tonight, aiming to gain fame within

Solana City’s elite

society. She didn’t want to be known as merely “Landon Harper’s sister” forever.

She slowly went up to Jasper, a lovely smile on her face.

But Jasper’s responding glance had no hint of affection in them.

It made her shiver.

Just then, there came loud, firm/clicks of heels on the floor outside the door.

Jasper’s breaths grew chaotic as he swiftly realized how familiar the sound was.
