Chapter 755

Cornelius lived separately from his sons, just like Newton. He lived in a massive manor

slightly smaller than the Seaview Manor, but it was still considered one of the top ten

manors in the nation.

The scandal had spread across the family. Even the domestic staff would gossip about Zoe

in their

pastime.

Furthermore, the silence from Jasper and the Beckett Group created an impression that

Zoe was nothing more than a discarded plaything after a night of fun and passion. Her

reputation as a Harper lay in ruins.

“Hey, is Ms. Zoe around?” The maids huddled together to gossip.

“She’s in Mr. Cornelius’ study, crying as if someone died.”

“What’s the point of crying? She should have behaved better as a Harper-protecting her

reputation is a

priority. She’s now involved with Mr. Beckett and wasn’t even fully dressed in the photos.

Any

distinguished family would care about their reputation. No one would want a woman like

her.”

“Perhaps Mr. Beckett would want to marry her. They must have had relations after sharing

a room for the

night. Now that the cat is out of the bag, he will have to take responsibility.”

“But he doesn’t seem inclined to do so. He hasn’t made any statement. He’s obviously not

eager to take

responsibility.”

“I think Mr. Landon is a close friend of Mr. Beckett. It’s going to be awkward between them

now.”

“Hush! Mr. Preston is here!”

The maids hurriedly retreated to a corner and greeted Preston respectfully, “Hi, Mr.

Preston!”

Preston descended the stairs in a slick back haircut and a navy-tailored suit with a closure

collar. He

looked bright and shrewd.

Preston was Cornelius’ second son and Landon’s uncle. He smiled as he walked down the

stairs and left a remark when he passed by the maids, “You big mouths. You’re still safe if

I’m the one overhearing you, but if Landon hears that, he might penalize all of you.”

The maids shivered as they held their tongues.

“Grandpa, you have to help me! How am I ever going to show up in public now?” Zoe cried

as she flung herself into Cornelius’ arms. Her eyes were swollen from the crying.

“My dear granddaughter, don’t cry! You’re going to hurt your eyes,” Cornelius comforted

Zoe and patted her on the back. He teared up because he felt sorry for her.

“Fear not, dear child. Even if your mom or Landon refuses to help you, I’ve got your back!

My grandchildren are raised pampered. No one shall take advantage of you!”

“Dad, you’re so right,” Preston chimed in solemnly. “Zoe was my brother’s darling

daughter and your favorite grandchild. We cannot turn a blind eye after what that Beckett

guy has done to her.”

“Uncle Preston …” Zoe wailed even louder. In her eyes, Preston had always been nice and

smiling to her.

When she was young, her dad refused to buy her luxury items and limited her pocket

money, causing her

to feel humiliated around her peers.

But Preston treated her differently. He’d always give her loads of pocket money and buy

her expensive

gifts when he visited. He satisfied her vanity, and therefore, she always regarded him

fondly.

“Preston, have you heard about the scandal?” Cornelius looked grim.

“Goodness, you know how influential our family is in Solana City. Any scandal involving us

will create a

storm in the city.”
