Chapter 355

The party at Berenike Hotel continued, though it had lost a significant amount of its

enthusiasm with the departure of their guest of honor.

Zoe had longed to show off in front of Ada to feed her unbelievably swollen ego. But now

that the

celebrity was gone, all her hard work and planning had gone down the drain-all because of

that sneaky

bitch Alyssa.

Jasper stood in the hallway, watching the green Rolls Royce drive away in the dark of the

night. His posture was rigid and stoic, and the air around him seemed to go down a few

degrees.

“This might not sound very nice, Mr. Jasper, but I believe we’ve been played the fool

again,” Xavier

reported shakily.

He continued, “Everyone online is focused on Alyssa and her hotel, leaving ours in the

dust. Even Mr.

Javier has caught wind of it.

“Berenike Hotel’s reputation is facing serious scrutiny, with some malicious comments

questioning

whether our standards of hospitality have declined …”

Xavier was practically drenched in cold sweat by now. They should have known Alyssa

would have taken

action and prepared for the worst. That had always been her style, after all. She never left

any chance for

her enemies to make a comeback.

Jasper gazed into the distance, asking hoarsely, “I thought she was ‘Madam?””

Xavier flinched, frightened. “She’s ‘Madam’ when she doesn’t do stuff like this… When she

does, well … ‘

Ms. Alyssa’ will do.”

“You can call her whatever you please,” came the response. “I’m not too angry, really.

She’s always been

like this, no?”

Xavier was surprised by his boss’ relatively calm reaction. He remembered how Jasper

used to seethe

with anger and frustration whenever Alyssa managed to outmaneuver him.

Xavier couldn’t help but wonder if/Jasper had gotten used to it.

“What I’m wondering is how Alyssa managed to bypass the security measures. Every

guest tonight

required a personal invitation to enter, and the security has remained steadfast without

fail.”

“Well… apparently, there was a CCTV malfunction shortly before her arrival. We suspect it

might have

been the work of a hacker or some sort of virus, considering the systems had just

undergone

maintenance two days ago.”

Upon hearing the word “hacker,” Jasper’s mind raced with possibilities. Was hacking

another skill Alyssa possessed? Or could it be one of her troublesome brothers at play?

“Jasper,” a sickly, sweet voice called out, interrupting Jasper’s thoughts. It was Zoe.

Jasper scowled just the slightest. He had no patience for her whatsoever. He didn’t even

turn to look at

her.

“Alyssa Taylor was too rude! How could she bring Ada Kingsley away just like that? She’s

practically humiliating you in front of everyone!” Zoe exclaimed, stomping her feet angrily.

Her assumption was that men cared deeply about their pride and public image, especially

someone as esteemed as Jasper. Therefore, she was doing her best to appeal to him in

this manner.

However, what he said next left her pale with trepidation.

“You’ve never met her, so you wouldn’t know. This is how she has always been.”

“W-What? What are you s-

“But I don’t mind.” Jasper glanced coldly at Zoe, a hint of anger in his tone. “But you, Ms.

Harper, crossed

the line tonight.”.

How he referred to her as “Ms. Harper” hit Zoe like a bolt of lightning.

They… A gap had formed between them, even after all these years…

Was he intent on putting up this unbreakable wall between them now?

“My family’s company had organized this event, and I’m the company’s representative

this evening. There was no justification for you to speak up on our behalf before Alyssa.”

“But I was only trying to help you!” Zoe’s voice had gotten so high-pitched that she

sounded like a cartoon

character.

She clung to Jasper’s arm, exclaiming, “Should I have simply let her have her way? To let

her steal your guest of honor and humiliate you in front of everyone? She’s far too

conceited and arrogant. You can’t let this stand just because you two used to be married!”

In a split second, Zoe realized her blunder.

Jasper arched an eyebrow, his gaze icy and piercing. “My marital status was no big secret,

but I have never revealed who I was married to. Who told you Alyssa was my wife?”

“It… Landon told me!” Zoe quickly lied.

“Betty told you, didn’t she?”

Zoe remained silent, her lip bitten raw.
