“Oh?” Newton responded curiously, stroking his chin.

“Yeah, Dad,” Sophia piped up, “When has someone like Landon ever personally gone to

see another

woman?

“He clearly has Betty in his thoughts. He wouldn’t have come by otherwise. Plus, Alyssa

already has

someone else.” 1

Jasper slowly turned his eyes to Sophia. He swallowed anxiously, as if trying to control a

turbulent

emotion.

Newton was surprised to hear this. “Alice has a boyfriend? Who is it?”

“Victor Schmidt’s youngest, Jameson.” Sophia had gotten word of this from Liana herself.

Even though

there wasn’t much evidence that the two were dating, she might as well bring this up to

from interfering with their plans.

“Alyssa is not dating Jameson Schmidt,” Jasper finally spoke up, setting down his cutlery.

“But I heard they’ve already gone on several dates, like going to the flower gardens,

orchestras…”

“They are not dating.” Jasper’s gaze glinted with invisible knives. “Hopefully, Sophia

remembers not to

“Alyssa Taylor is the daughter of Winston Taylor, who is also the CEO of KS World Hotel.

“Most importantly, she’s a woman. Rumors and gossip like this could have devastating

effects on her

reputation.”

Sophia bristled, her lip twitching angrily.

Javier cried, “Is this how you speak to your elders? Don’t you know r-”

Jasper stood up before his father could finish talking. I’m full now. Please enjoy the rest of

your meal

without me.”

Newton watched as his grandson left the dining room, his eyes narrowing curiously.

Jasper tugged on his tie, heading to the gardens to take a breather.

Feelings of frustration, distress, and fear had enveloped him since the moment Newton

brought up the

exponentially.

It felt almost as if his lungs were being slowly consumed, making it increasingly difficult to

draw breath.

He took out a cigarette and lit it before taking a puff.

As he grew increasingly upset, he reached for his phone to call Landon.

“Finally, you asshole!” Landon cried from the other end. He was whining like some kind of

housewife left at home for too long. “You haven’t come to see me once since I got food

poisoning, you ass!”

“There’s something you might want to know.” Jasper took a deep breath. “Javier and

Sophia intend for

you to marry Betty in an alliance.”

“Oh, fuck!” Landon yelped from the other end of the call. “Why the fuck am I involved in

your family drama

now?”

“Does it matter who you marry? I thought you said they’d be nothing more than a

decoration to your

name?

“Yes, I did say that, but-”

“So why not marry Betty? She likes you, and you’d benefit from joining our families

together.”

“What the fuck, man? You know how sly that sister of yours is! You can’t do this to me!”

“She may be sly, but she’s putty in your hands. You could do what you want with her, and

Neither Landon nor Jameson was going to have Alyssa. 1

Jasper gritted his teeth, feeling as if he were a vengeful fly swatter trying to rid Alyssa of

all the stray flies

buzzing around her.
