“Indeed, I am. Is there a problem with that?” Jasper’s nonchalant reply nearly gave Javier

and Sophia

heart attacks.

Sophia stared resentfully at Jasper’s indifferent look as she lurked behind Javier like a

ghost. Her eyes held an ominous quality as if she were bestowing an evil curse upon

Jasper.

Javier shook in rage as he growled, “Jasper Beckett, have you forgotten your roots?”

Jasper snickered. “Thanks for reminding me over and over again that I’m your son.

Otherwise, I might

have forgotten.”

“You ungrateful brat!” With his eyes burning with anger and a dizzying sensation

overwhelming him, Javier pointed at Jasper. He seethed, “I’ll ask you one last time-are you

dead set on attending the Taylor

Family’s event this weekend?”

“Oh, dear child, how can you be so wrong?” Sophia seized the right timing and put on the

façade of a worried mother. “It’s not my party that I care about. But you knew your dad

and Winston don’t get along well, and Alyssa has been giving us trouble repeatedly.

“Why would you side with them during such a crucial time? You, missing our event as the

company.

president, will only be a disgrace to your father!”

Jasper retorted in a frosty tone and a glare, “Sophia, if you don’t care about the party, why

don’t you call it

off?

“You, your daughter, and your relatives have been abusing your power, causing scandals

our company

struggles to recover from.

“You have pushed the company to the forefront of public scrutiny and hurt our operations.

“Your reputation stinks in Solana City, so why would you choose to throw a high-profile

event for your birthday? You should lie low instead. Do you take the netizens as fools?

They remember.”

“You-You-” Sophia balled her shaky fists in a fit of rage.

Initially, Javier was somewhat swayed by Jasper’s argument, but his sentiments shifted

when Jasper added, “While my father might be willing to make sacrifices for you out of

love, don’t expect the rest of

the family to go along with your behavior.”

Sophia nearly passed out from the provocation.

Meanwhile, Javier momentarily pushed Sophia out of his thoughts. He was only consumed

Jasper continued, “If you’re talking about Sophia’s birthday, forgive me; that has nothing

to do with me. I’m not prepared for it at all.”

Jasper’s smile faded as he added, “Sophia is your wife and Betty’s mom. The two of you

can take care of

her party. I see no reason for me to get involved as an outsider.”

Javier was enraged when he heard Jasper describing himself as an outsider. He snapped,

“Aren’t you part of the Beckett family too? How dare you act like an ungrateful brat when

you’re benefiting from the

Beckett Group and sitting in the role of the president?”

Sophia leaned into Javier, wearing a sly smirk.

In the past, Jasper might have engaged in an argument with his father. But now, he had no

intention of speaking to his father, who had fallen entirely under the influence of Sophia

and Betty’s manipulations.

He said, “Do you have anything else to discuss? If not, I’ll retire to my room.”

“Jasper Beckett, I’m not finished with you! Get back here!” Javier sprang up from the

couch, nearly toppling Sophia in the process.

Jasper paused in his tracks, standing tall without looking back. He declared, “Oh, I almost

forgot to mention-I won’t be attending Sophia’s birthday party

Sophia’s expression soured upon hearing this. She demanded, “What do you mean?”

Javier was equally astonished and exclaimed, “Are you ditching your family event for the

Taylors’ party instead?”

“Indeed, I am, Is there a problem with that?”
