Chapter 1222

At the mention of the good news, the guests cast looks of anticipation at Javier. A gleam flashed across

his eyes as he turned to his son with a smile. “Jasper, come here.”

Jasper felt his heart sink. He frowned at Alyssa and tightened his grip on her hand, reluctant to part

ways with her.

She advised him, “Go. I’ll be here waiting for you. I won’t go anywhere.”

They exchanged tender glances before she freed her hand from his grip. With no valid reason to

refuse, Jasper made his way to his father under the watchful gaze of the onlookers.

In a rare occurrence, Javier flashed a warm smile at him and patted him on the shoulder. After that,

Javier smiled and announced to the

guests, “I will take advantage of the merry occasion to announce some good news in our family.

“My son, Jasper Beckett, will be engaged to Zoe Harper, the

granddaughter of Cornelius Harper. The engagement ceremony will take place in this month.”

The guests stared at him agape when they learned about Jasper and Zoe’s engagement. Some of the

guests turned toward Zoe, the future Mrs. Beckett.

At that moment, Zoe trembled so violently that it seemed like she was suffering from seizures. Her eyes

shone with greed, and she teared up thinking about the effort she had put into reaching her goal.

God knew how long she had yearned for this moment and how much effort the Harpers had poured

into persuading Javier to make her dream come true. This was the perfect chance to get back at Alyssa



and make a joke of her.

All the humiliation and frustration Zoe suffered at the hands of Alyssa seemed to have disappeared at

that moment.

The guests stared at Alyssa in shock. All colors drained from her face as she quivered. Her warm and

tender moments with Jasper meant nothing to her as her blood turned cold-a sharp pain shot through

her heart, leaving it in tatters.

While her mind went blank, Zoe stared at her and cackled, reveling in Alyssa’s dejected expression.

The guests started gossiping. “Why has no one heard about the arranged marriage between the

Becketts and the Harpers? That’s really odd.”

“Well, that’s just how the Becketts roll. They only made public the relationship between Alyssa and

Jasper after they divorced. Not one word to the public in their three years of marriage! It’s the same this

time around with the Harpers.”

“What are Jasper Beckett’s feelings for Alyssa Taylor if he’s gettin married to Zoe Harper?”

“Maybe Javier disapproved of their relationship. To be honest, I never thought they’d end up together

after she got Madam Sophia behind bars. She’s brought humiliation to the Beckett family.

“No matter how pretty or capable she is, I wouldn’t approve of a daughter-in-law like that if I were Javier

Beckett. It’s not like I’d gain anything from the marriage.”

The gossip inflicted pain upon Alyssa. Winston, upon learning of the engagement, appeared

incredulous and incensed.



His beloved daughter had faced humiliation during her divorce from Jasper. Why, then, would Javier

announce Jasper’s engagement to Zoe just when Jasper and Alyssa had reconciled, proudly displaying

Winston refused to believe that Javier genuinely sought an arranged

marriage with the Harpers. If anything, he suspected Javier was using his son to exact revenge against

the Taylors.

He seethed at Javier’s pettiness.
