Chapter 757

Preston was halfway through his speech when Zoe burst into tears. She moaned,

“Grandpa, Uncle

Preston, I am so ashamed and done for! I should just end my life!”

“Dear child, don’t cry. I will take care of this for you,” Cornelius soothed her. As a retired

businessman who had once dominated the playing field, he was aghast at the treatment

his family received.

He shattered the teapot and seethed, “So, is Jasper Beckett thinking of shirking his

responsibility? He’s

going to regret it.

“Landon, didn’t your mom get hurt after hearing about the scandal? She’s in the hospital,

right?”

Landon gulped and sank into silence.

“When she’s out of the hospital, meet with the Becketts to discuss marriage. If you don’t, I

will!” Cornelius

threatened.

“Grandpa, can we calm down for a bit?” Landon growled. He was at his limits when he

learned that his family planned to cause a ruckus at the Becketts’.

“Landon, if I recall correctly, you’re like brothers with Jasper Beckett,” said Preston, who

crossed his legs and nonchalantly watched the drama unfold. “Isn’t it good news that your

sister married your good friend? I don’t understand why you’d protest against the

marriage.”

“I know Jasper well exactly because I’m close to him,” Landon blurted out.

He had no choice but to admit, “Jasper has someone in his heart-Alyssa Taylor, the only

daughter of Winston and Jennifer Taylor!”

The others froze upon hearing Alyssa’s name. A hint of deference flashed across Cornelius’

eyes, which was rare for the usually ruthless old man.

“Zoe, you have professed a few times to Jasper, didn’t you? You’ve pulled many tricks on

him. Do you think they worked? Has Jasper paid you any attention?” Landon hissed at Zoe.

Zoe quivered and replied, “L-Landon, what are you talking about?”

“After all your efforts, he did not even take a look at you. So, tell me, how could he have

possibly met you at the hotel for a night together?

“Zoe, are you forcing me to be blunt with you? When will you ever learn?” Landon grew

furious, his veins throbbing.

Despite smiling, Preston secretly cursed London out.

“You should quit worrying about Zoe’s marriage. I’ll introduce her to someone rich, but he

is definitely not Jasper Beckett,” Landon declared. The air in the study immediately grew

heavy.

Zoe’s glee had changed into glumness.

“Landon, I am confused. Who else can Zoe marry if not Jasper?” Preston asserted with an

air of authority.

He added, “If the Beckett Group doesn’t agree to take her in, they will be humiliating us.

They are basically saying that Zoe, a precious granddaughter and sister, is nothing more

than Jasper Beckett’s plaything that

can be discarded at whim. What do they take us as?”
