Jasper tried to suppress his cough. Nevertheless, upon entering the villa, a fit of coughing

seized him,

likely triggered by inhaling the blend of cold and warm air.

“Mr. Jasper!” Mrs. Rosie exclaimed and went up to him. She felt sorry looking at him

coughing his lungs out. “What’s wrong? You have a bad cough. Did you catch a cold?”

“I’m fine. Mrs. Rosie, just get me some water,” he instructed, hiding the fact that he was

injured.

That did not lessen Mrs. Rosie’s concerns. “But you don’t look fine at all! Why don’t we get

the family doctor to check on you?”

“I’m really fine. I just need to take some medications, he reassured her with a smile.

Just then, the butler, Barry Durham, announced. “Mr. Jasper, Mr. Javier would like to talk to

you in his study.”

Jasper frowned at the scene that greeted him in Javier’s study. Javier was on the couch

with Sophia, both dressed in matching silk nightrobes.

She had put on some light makeup, and her hair was tousled. She leaned limply in Javier’s

arms and occasionally planted kisses on him.

Jasper nearly left the study after witnessing the disconcerting scene.

“Okay, that’s enough. Jasper is here,” Javier reminded Sophia, as he wasn’t completely

thick-skinned.

Sophia responded by lazily tracing circles on Javier’s chest with her slender fingers,

casting him a flirtatious look. “We’ll continue from where we left off later.”

The more she aged, the more coquettish she became.

With a sullen face, Jasper asked, “What’s the matter, Dad?”

Javier probed, “How are your preparations for your mom’s upcoming birthday party

going?”

“My mom’s birthday party?” Jasper’s smile took on a chilling undertone. “I’ve spent Mom’s

birthdays with her at her grave. You’ve never made any effort for her, let alone visit her.

So, why did you suddenly take an interest in it?”

Javier’s expression froze, taken aback by Jasper’s retort.

She added, “Both elite families, the Schmidts and the Harpers, are confirmed attendees.

We expect them

to send important figures as representatives. I believe the fence-sitters will make their

decisions soon.

“After this, the Becketts and the Schmidts won’t be the only two players in the game.

When I become the president of KS Group, they’ll have to enter a three-way fight!

“Besides, the Schmidts and the Taylors are close acquaintances. On top of that, Landon

Harper is joining our party. It will be unwise of a shrewd businessman to choose Javier

Beckett over us.”

Sean nodded vigorously. “You’re right.”

While Alyssa sipped water from her bottle through a straw, she continued to avoid eye

contact with Sean.

Suddenly, Sean approached her hesitantly, asking, “Ms. Alyssa, have I done something

wrong? Did I not meet your expectations?”

Alyssa blinked rapidly and replied, “Huh? No.”

Sean panicked and blushed, admitting, “Yes, I have… Just tell me what went wrong. I’ll

change.”

“Sean, you haven’t done anything wrong. It’s just that… you’re approaching your 30s, and

it’s time for to live your life and get into relationships.”

“Ms. Alyssa…”

“My sister, Taty, has always been close to you. In fact, the two of you are still close. I can

tell that you

like her,” Alyssa earnestly attempted to play matchmaker. “Why don’t you give it a shot?

Don’t stress about it.

“You come from a family of scholars, and Winston sees you as his godson. No one is going

to protest against your relationship. In fact, we’d be delighted to have an old family friend

as Taty’s boyfriend.”

“Ms. Alyssa, I appreciate the sentiment. I treat Ms. Tatiana well for two reasons. Firstly,

she’s your sister and Mr. Taylor’s daughter, which makes her one of my superiors. I have a

responsibility to look after her. Secondly, I’ve watched her grow up, and she’s like a sister

to me.”

After wrapping up his work for the night, Jasper returned to Seaview Manor. The

temperature in Solana City had significantly dropped over the past few days, and it might

snow soon.
