Chapter 653
“Miley.” Jasper calmly greeted her, abruptly inserting himself into their conversation.
Miley was taken aback as she sized up the handsome man before her. Her expression
wavered, and she
exclaimed. “Are you Mr. Beckett, the president of Beckett Group?”
“It’s just Jasper. We can keep it casual,” Jasper introduced himself and politely extended
his right hand
for a handshake. His stunning eyes radiated warmth and joy.
He appeared to be a gracious and honest man, quite unlike the rumors that painted him
as ruthless and
deceptive.
Miley was about to shake hands with Jasper out of courtesy when Alyssa held her back.
Alyssa glowered at Jasper and warned him, “You’d better not think of currying favor with
my sister and

He flashed a bitter smile and awkwardly retracted his hand.
Miley was confused by Alyssa’s brash attitude. She had no idea that Alyssa and Jasper
were once
married for three years.
Looking flustered, Alyssa pressed her lips and mumbled, “Miley, he and I-”
“Miley, I’m her man.”
Both Alyssa and Miley were dumbstruck by Jasper’s sudden proclamation.
He added, “I’m Alyssa’s man, though it’s a one-sided declaration.”
He cast an intense gaze at Alyssa. “She can date whomever she pleases, but she’s the
only woman for
me.”
Miley gasped at his self-deprecating statement, while Alyssa clenched her teeth, blushing
with
humiliation. She couldn’t believe Jasper’s audacity!
“So are you pursuing her?” Miley asked tentatively.
Jasper replied, “Yes, I am.”
He had embarked on an ardent and determined pursuit of love.
However, Alyssa led Miley away, saying, “Miley, he’s insane. Just ignore him. Let’s go meet
Dad, Mandy,
and the others!”

Jasper stood there, smiling foolishly at Alyssa. He was hopelessly in love with her.
Alyssa held Miley’s hand and asked, “Miley, did you come back alone? Why isn’t Jeremy
with you?”
“Oh, he’s swamped with work. These few days are crucial for him because the election
results will be
announced soon,” Miley replied with a somber expression.

in Kontina must
have attracted lots of votes for him as well. He’ll be the next president of Kontina!” Alyssa
reassured her.
“Thank you for that, Lyse,” Miley replied.
She then sneaked a glance behind her and whispered, “Lyse, what’s your relationship with
Mr. Beckett?”
“Hmph. We’re archenemies.” Alyssa clenched her jaw and narrowed her eyes.
“Anyway, just ignore him. He’s a madman who spouts nonsense. He’s annoying.”
“Really? I heard that he’s an outstanding young man and the heir of Beckett Group,” Miley
pondered out
loud.
Alyssa nearly bawled as she recalled the incident just now, when he had accidentally felt
her chest. She
taunted, “An outstanding man? He’s just full of shit.”
