Chapter 367

The secretary swiftly turned on the television and tuned it to the 3 o’clock news.

Jasper bristled, having flashbacks to the Verdane Valley project.

“Welcome to the 3 o’clock news, providing you with the most up-to-date afternoon

updates.

“Last night, the renowned international actress Ada Kingsley made her entrance into

Solana City, sparking immense enthusiasm among her fans.

“According to sources, her visit to the city is to honor her mother’s request, which was to

have her

wedding held here in Solana.

“The Berenike Hotel and KS World Hotel in the city have engaged in a fierce competition,

vying to be

selected by Ada Kingsley as the venue for her wedding.

“After several days of intense rivalry, Madam Ada Kingsley has made her decision.”

Jasper couldn’t keep his eyes off the screen.

“At 3 o’clock news, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to KS World Hotel for their

successful efforts

in securing Ada Kingsley’s endorsement and being chosen as the venue for her wedding!”

Something burst inside Jasper’s mind.

Meanwhile, Betty couldn’t hide the look of glee on her face. The more the winds sailed

against their favor

now, the higher her chance of removing Jasper from his position.

The screen then displayed Ada, who had consented to an interview with the 3 o’clock

news.

“While it’s true that both Berenike Hotel and KS World Hotel are formidable players in the

industry, I opted for the latter based on personal preference, rather than any reputation-

related factors…”

Javier couldn’t take it anymore. He switched off the television and flung the remote

forcefully onto his desk. “There’s no use looking at the long run now. We’ve utterly lost!

“Not only have you lost the chance to host Ada Kingsley’s wedding, but you’ve gained

attention far and wide for helping our enemy win this war. What do you have to say for

yourself now?”

Jasper was about to speak up when Betty beat him to it. “Breathe, Dad. Don’t overexert

yourself.”

Betty had learned her mother’s tricks since she was young, knowing that if she spoke up

for Jasper now, it would only make her father hate him more.

Betty said, “Ada’s said it’s her personal preference too, so it really has nothing to do with

our hotel’s

capabilities. I’m sure Jasper’s done all he could, too. We only have Alyssa Taylor to blame

for this. She

really is a cunning, evil woman.”

“There is no such thing as cunning or evil when it comes to business,” Jasper retorted.

“She has done no

wrong. It’s our own fault for not having planned out well.”

Betty nearly sneered. She thought that if they were divorced, they should act like it.

Nevertheless, Jasper’s

attitude would only lead to his own downfall.

“You didn’t let Alyssa win on purpose, did you, Jasper?” Javier snapped.

Jasper looked away. “No.”

“Need I remind you that you and her are no longer married-she is no longer part of the

family! She is our

enemy and competitor right now! She has purposely come for our necks not just once but

thrice.

“I haven’t taken action yet on account that she used to be my daughter-in-law, but not

this time. She has

gone too far now!” Javier cried, slamming the table.

Jasper met his father’s enraged gaze with his calm, icy one, as if daring him to do so.

“Watch your attitude, Jasper Beckett! Don’t you dare look at me like that!” Javier

demanded, his heart

skipping nervously.

That was the very same look Jasper’s mother had given him when she committed suicide

all those years

ago, filled with sheer hatred and anger.

Until today, Javier still found himself struggling to move on.
