Chapter 773
“Madam Penelope, you may not be aware of our family situation. Despite being a servant, Mrs. Rosie
holds a high position in our family.”
Sophia started sarcastically, taunting Rosie. “She doesn’t even respect us as the hosts of this house,
let
alone you as guests.”
“Sophia, you know very well why Mrs. Rosie holds such a high position.”
Jasper walked to Rosie’s side and positioned himself before her, acting like a shield. His gaze turned
frosty as he glared at Sophia, causing her to shudder.
“After my mother passed away, Mrs. Rosie has been with me, taking care of me like her son. In my
eyes,
she’s as important as my mother.”

“And I’ve already said it. In Seaview Manor, Rosie only takes care of my daily life. She’s not your
servant.
Isn’t it normal for her not to listen to you?”
At his words, people couldn’t help but snicker.
After all, in Seaview Manor, Rosie’s popularity surpassed that of Sophia and her daughter.
“You!” Sophia seethed with hatred, but retorting would make her look bad.
“Besides an apology, I have a second request.”
Cornelius ignored the women’s disputes and continued coldly, “Mr. Javier, with the current situation,
there’s only one way to resolve it-our families must form a union. Allow Jasper to marry Zoe.”
Everyone was shocked.
“You’re asking me to marry Zoe?”
Jasper chuckled, his gaze turning icy. “Mr. Cornelius, what do you take me for? Am I expected to marry
her simply because she’s a woman? Gender alone doesn’t automatically qualify someone to be my
wife.
“I may not actively pursue relationships with women, but that doesn’t mean I don’t exercise
discernment
in my choice of a partner.”
Jasper’s words stunned everyone.
While not directly insulting Zoe, Jasper’s words cut deep into her heart.
Zoe’s lips trembled, and her face turned as white as a sheet.
“Watch your words, Jasper!” Javier was unhappy with the Harper family’s coercion but didn’t want the
situation to escalate.
“Jasper, you’re outrageous!”

The furious Cornelius banged his eagle-headed cane on the ground, “I’m giving my granddaughter to
you, yet you’re upset about it? How dare you humiliate Zoe? You…”
“In this lifetime, I have only one wife. Once she was chosen, it can only ever be her!”
As soon as Jasper said those words, Barry hurriedly approached. “Mr. Javier, Mr. Jasper, Ms. Alyssa is
here.”
Following that, a crisp sound of footsteps in high heels echoed in the hall.
Jasper’s breath caught as he watched the slender, elegant figure approaching them. His gaze was
intense, as if wanting to sear the beautiful silhouette into his memory with his eyes.
Zoe watched as Jasper was completely captivated by Alyssa. Jealousy transformed her face, yet there
was nothing she could do.
In his eyes and mind, Jasper only had room for Alyssa, with no space for any other woman.
If not for that person helping her strategize and her readiness to sacrifice, she might not have had the
chance to be alone with Jasper in this lifetime.
“Ah! Madam!” Rosie exclaimed in delight.
“Madam. It’s really Madam.”
The servants, though they didn’t dare speak loudly, looked at Alyssa with surprised and hopeful eyes.
