“You cannot allow the others to read your mind through your actions. It’s a risky behavior, Javier

cautioned Betty.

“Got it, Dad.”

Then, Javier made a video call to Jasper. Jasper’s stoic face appeared on the screen.

Seeing that, Betty clung tighter onto Javier’s arm in an attempt to put on the act of a loving family.

Jasper ignored her and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Your sister has secured the partnership with Ada Kingsley. We just need you to formalize the

agreement,” Javier instructed him. ‘Meet her as soon as you can and close the deal.”

“Jasper, Betty is your little sister. She’s done her best to move the deal to this stage. Can’t you lend her

“She is responsible for the outcome of this partnership. There is no free lunch in this world. How can

you expect me to do the dirty work while she takes all the credit?”

Javier was nettled when Jasper talked back to him. He bellowed, “Jasper Beckett!”

“If you

want to get this done, why don’t you speak to Ada in person? I believe that handling a celebrity is a

piece of cake for the group’s chairman.” With that, Jasper hung up on him.

The Harpers were in trouble as well. Penelope Miller had been in competition against Lucille Schmidt in

hosting a jewelry charity auction.

She had almost closed the discussions with Vincent’s team, only to receive the disheartening news

Zoe felt a growing resentment as she watched her mother struggle. She knew the reason behind

Vincent’s sudden change of mind. It was a deliberate move to avenge Alyssa.

Zoe retired to her room, where she paced back and forth with rage. Feeling utterly powerless, che

She said, “Hey, Betty, I’m in a terrible mood today. How about joining me tonight at Landon’s nightclub

for a party? Let’s have a few drinks.”

“Ugh! Zoe, drop it. I’m down in the dumps as well,” Betty groaned and shared with Zoe the trouble with

Ada. “We might have foiled Ada and Alyssa’s partnership, but I didn’t get anything out of it. It’s

frustrating!

“Don’t worry too much. Ada might be too proud to admit that she had made a mistake. She’ll come

around in a few days,” Zoe replied.

Zoe wandered into her dressing room and browsed through the branded items in her wardrobe. She

asked casually. “So many things have been happening lately, and it’s all getting to me. Betty, can you

help me take my mind off things in any way?”

Betty was taken aback by the request. It didn’t take long for her to understand the meaning behind

Zoe’s words. She grinned and assured her friend, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you have the time of your

life tonight!”
