Landon gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw. Thankfully, Jonah held him back when he was about to
barge into the hall.
Jonah advised him, "Landon, calm down. You have nothing to worry about because my dad and Jasper
are there to handle it.
"Besides, you shouldn't appear like you're siding with outsiders at this critical point where you are about
to be appointed the president of the Harper Group. You don't want to upset your grandpa. So, do not
act rashly for the sake of your future."
Landon's eyes burned in rage. "But Jasper is my bro! I can't sit back and watch my family fuck with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLyse! How could I betray Jasper just for a company president role? I'd be ashamed to face them in the
future."
Jonah was rendered speechless by Landon's seemingly uncultured outburst, but he shrugged it off
because he empathized with Landon's feelings.
Meanwhile, Jasper again shifted his hostile gaze onto Zoe, his eyes an abyss, ready to consume the
evil woman.
Zoe tried to maintain her composure under the pressure of Winston and Jasper. Suddenly, she raised
her voice, "Get that thing ready!"
She knew that the evidence she possessed was a destructive weapon. It would be a pyrrhic victory for
her, but she did not care. All she wanted was to utterly destroy Alyssa and Jasper's relationship.
Zoe's assistant, who had been waiting by the stage, hurried over and handed her a leather envelope.
Zoe began, "Jasper, you had a secret marriage of three years with Alyssa, during which you cheated
on her with Madam Sophia's niece. Because of you, Alyssa suffered a loveless marriage."
She did not take the envelope immediately, choosing instead to study Jasper with amusement. "You
ignored her affection and her suffering for three years, treating her like she was invisible. You even
forced her to get a divorce just so you could be with your mistress. Am I right?"
To be fair, what Zoe announced was old news. The guests at the event had more or less heard about
the absurd history between Alyssa and Jasper. Despite the passing of time, and Jasper's best efforts to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmake amends, Alyssa's ordeal still felt heartbreaking to hear.
She must have loved him so to endure the torture for three years. Anyone would have left the marriage
right away.
Choking on emotions, Jasper admitted, "Yes, you are right. I admit I did that to her." "Do you really think
that's the extent of the torture you inflict on her? Think again," Zoe said with a chuckle.
Frowning hard, Jasper struggled to cope with the rising headache and dizziness.
Alyssa felt her heart sink when she realized what Zoe was up to.
Zoe, arms crossed, gestured at her assistant. "Go. Hand the envelope to Mr. Taylor. I think he will be
the most interested in his precious daughter's suffering."
The assistant handed the envelope to Winston. Forehead dotted with sweat, Alyssa yelled, "No! Dad!"
Winston furrowed his brows and extracted a document from the envelope. Soon after that, he looked
crestfallen and greatly shocked. He pursed his colorless lips, nearly crumpling the paper in his hand.
Alyssa sobbed. "Dad, I ..."
