“And who might that someone be?” Cornelius asked, his brows furrowing with discontent.
“Who else can she be? It’s Sophia Kirkman’s second daughter, Lauren Beckett,” Zoe grabbed the chance to tell on Landon.
She casually teased, “Landon hasn’t been home lately. He’s built a love nest with Ms. Lauren out there, where they spend most
of their time. The last time Mom was sick, I was the one who got her to the hospital. I guess Landon’s put his family behind even
before marrying Ms. Lauren.”
“Zoe, can you please stop?” Penelope mumbled, not because shel wanted to protect Lauren. She worried that Cornelius might
be upset. at Landon.
Preston grinned, remarking, “Ms. Lauren must be a stunning beauty. Knowing Landon, he’s never been so serious with any
woman. From the sounds of it, Ms. Lauren has won his heart.”
“My grandson falling for Sophia Kirkman’s daughter? Ridi Nostrils blaring, Cornelius tapped his walking stick on t Why are they
living together before marriage? Is that how a lady should behave? Indeed, an indecent woman like Sophial will never raise her
daughter right!”
“Dad, you need not worry too much about Landon. He’s a grown and won’t let himself be taken advantage of,” Preston reassured
Cornelius with a playful chuckle, much to Penelope’s relief.
Meanwhile, a malicious smile played on Zoe’s lips. Landon might be head over heels for Lauren and intend to marry her, but the
family would never accept Lauren solely because she was Sophia Kirkman’s daughter.

At that moment, the reporters gasped. “Jasper Beckett has arrived!”
“It’s him! Jasper Beckett’s here!”
All attention shifted to Jasper’s direction as the shutters clicked away. Hearing that, Zoe perked up and cast an expectant glance
at the other end of the red carpet.

There, she found Jasper clad in a black suit, wearing an aloof expression on his face. His eyes exuded the same arrogance, and
each move exuded an imposing presence.
His cool demeanor had captivated the interest of many females, including Zoe.
Penelope had to tug at her daughter and whispered, “Zoe, let’s move. What are you standing here for?”
“Mom...” Ogling Jasper, Zoe nearly salivated at his handsomeness. “I love Jasper so much. How I wish I were his woman.”
She had been fortunate enough to embrace Jasper in the dimness of a hotel room that night when she was undressed. Through
his suit, she felt his toned body and went numb at the sensation.
Since that night, she couldn’t help but fantasize about how it’d feel to be underneath him as she pictured them making love. She
was driven. crazy by her desire for him.
“You need to pull yourself together or risk becoming a joke. A young lady should behave with decorum,” Penelope complained.
“Decorum is worth nothing. I would give up anything to be with Jasper Beckett,” Zoe muttered under her breath as she eyed
Jasper..
Penelope failed to hear Zoe’s words. With a frown, she questioned, Zoe, what was that? Why were you talking to yourself?”
“Mom, go ahead without me. I’ll wait for Jasper and enter with him.”
