Sophia sneered, remarking, “Jasper deeply wounded Alyssa when they divorced. And his relationship
with
Zoe is questionable.
“Considering Alyssa’s intolerant and strong-willed personality, is it possible for her to accept Jasper? It
might be beyond what she finds acceptable.”
Javier’s expression grew serious at the mention of the probability that Alyssa might find the situation
beyond acceptance. But before he could speak, a knock on the door interrupted.
Following that, Barry’s anxious voice came through. “Mr. Javier, Madam Sophia, the Harpers are here.”
“Just say I’m not here,” Javier answered without hesitation while frowning.
“Mr. Javier, Harper Group’s chairman, Mr. Cornelius, came along as well. Are you sure you don’t want
to
meet him?”
Suddenly, Javier’s heart sank.

With her arms crossed, Sophia smiled nonchalantly. “Until Jasper and Zoe’s marriage is settled, our
family
won’t have a peaceful day. Even Cornelius is here. If this continues, it won’t end well.”
Cornelius sat on the center sofa with his hands folded on top of the eagle head of his cane. His imposi
presence made everyone in Seaview Manor hold their breath.
“Mr. Cornelius, why didn’t you inform me you were coming? I would have welcomed you,” Javier said
with
a smile, walking over with Sophia.
The living room was filled with the Harpers, creating a tense and unfriendly atmosphere.
With an unchanged expression, Javier looked around and said, “Mr. Cornelius, you made quite a grand
entrance. Are you upset because I didn’t welcome you personally?”
“I’m indeed upset, but you know why, don’t you?”
Frowning, Cornelius spoke with a cold and intimidating tone. “Your family is quite arrogant. My
daughter-in
-law personally came here, but your son didn’t bother to meet her.
“I had to come here personally, or your son wouldn’t even bother to show respect.”

“Lauren might be dating Landon, but they haven’t made it public. There’s still a chance to turn things.
around,” Javier opined. “Things will only get messy if they make their relationship public.”
“Javier, what do you mean? Do you not want Lauren to marry Landon?” Sophia asked worriedly.
“Mrs. Harper visited our place to discuss Jasper and Zoe’s marriage, but she went home empty-handed
without getting to meet with Jasper. Didn’t you see her expression when she left? She was so resentful.
“Landon is her only son. After what happened between Jasper and Zoe, she couldn’t possibly agree to
the
marriage between Landon and Lauren,” argued Javier while impatiently rubbing his forehead.
Sophia was taken aback. She replayed the scene and recalled Penelope’s look of rage, realizing that
Lauren might have lost her chance of marrying into the distinguished Harper family.

Given that Landon was willing to marry Lauren and take the problem off their hands, Sophia resolved to
push the marriage through by all means.
With that in mind, she sighed sorrowfully and tiptoed to Javier. While massaging his shoulders, she
whispered, “Javier, you’ve been in a bad mood in the past few days. You must be worried about this
matter. I have a win-win solution that will solve everything.”
Javier mused, “And what is that?”
“Make Jasper marry Ms. Zoe, and everyone will be happy. We’ll approve of Zoe in exchange for Mrs.
Harper’s approval of Lauren,” Sophia suggested, getting more excited and greedier as she spoke.

Javier frowned with frustration. “Can’t you tell who Jasper is in love with? He has no eyes for
except for Alyssa Taylor. And you should know his temper well after 20 years of living together.”
“Jasper might be in love with Alyssa, but it’s all meaningless if she doesn’t reciprocate.”
