Chapter 768

The doors of the three cars opened simultaneously. Zoe and Penelope disembarked from

their respective

vehicles, followed by the gray-haired Cornelius, dressed in an opulent black fur coat.

Holding a walking

stick with a golden eagle carving, he exited the car with Zoe’s help, looking stern.

“Dad, be careful,” Penelope cautioned while approaching him.

Cornelius let out a heavy sigh at the sight of the Becketts’ gate. “Jasper did not show up at

all when you

visited the Becketts to discuss marriage. Is that right?”

She bit her lips and nodded shamefully. “Yes.”

“You’re useless.”

Zoe silently pouted, seemingly unhappy at her mom as well.

Penelope explained fearfully, “You know Jasper’s character well. Even Javier can’t force

him to do

anything against his will. Sophia, as his stepmother, is of no use at all.”

Ever since Penelope’s husband’s passing, Landon had been the pillar of support for their

small family.

Without Landon, Cornelius would have looked down on Penelope even more.

“You’re Zoe’s mom. How could you be of no help when she’s bullied? All you can do is

wallow in

helplessness and anger,” growled Cornelius, who poked Penelope with his stick.

He added, “The Harpers are a distinguished family in Solana City. Everyone holds us in

high regard. But

now, I am forced to show up to settle the mess caused by that Beckett fellow. Is this how

you show your

respect to me?”

“Dad, it’s all my fault. I’m useless,” Penelope apologized profusely, head hung low.

“Grandpa, Mom has tried her best. You should stop blaming her,” Zoe spoke up for

Penelope while holding

Cornelius’ arm.

Cornelius’ eyes were spitting fire. His temples were throbbing. “Jasper is an arrogant little

brat! He

basically humiliated the Harper family with his actions. He’d better behave today and

agree to marry Zoe.

If not, I will treat the Becketts as our archenemy!”

In a lounge at the nightclub, Betty was partying with her friends, reveling in a hedonistic

lifestyle. She

danced closely with two nearly naked male models amidst excited screams.

In a daze, Betty stretched her neck and poured red wine all over her trembling chest.

Witnessing this, a male model hugged her tight and started licking her from the neck

down to her chest.

This elicited more cheers and screams around her as she laughed hysterically.

After the lustful moments, she grabbed a wine bottle and slumped on the couch. While

downing the wine,

she let out uncontrollable laughs.

“Ms. Betty? Ms. Betty!” Her assistant walked up to her and kneeled. “There’s a situation at

Seaview Manor

now.”

“What’s wrong?” Betty drawled.

“The Harpers are paying a visit. I believe they are there to discuss marriage.”

“Pfft. What the fuck is going on? Didn’t Zoe’s widowed mom show up a few days ago? She

was sent home

without getting to meet Jasper at all.”

The assistant explained, “Things are different this time. She’s there with Cornelius

Harper!”

Betty’s eyes flickered open. She shot up on the couch. “Who?”

“Cornelius Harper, Zoe’s grandpa! I heard they came with a group of people. They must be

there for a

confrontation.”

“Hahaha! That’s interesting!” Betty slapped the couch with an exciting gleam in her eyes.

“Get the car

ready! I’ll be home to enjoy the debacle!”
