Chapter 1102
“But-“Xavier sounded hesitant.
Heart sinking, Jasper demanded, “What is it?”
“Jameson Schmidt was the one who helped Madam.” Xavier broke into a cold sweat when
he brought up Jameson’s name.
Rage filled Jasper’s eyes. His jawline tightened as he clenched his teeth.
“Not only that, photos of Mr. Taylor and Jameson are circulating online. There are-
unverified rumors of an arranged marriage between the Taylor and Schmidt families.
Madam might end up marrying Jameson Schmidt!” Even Xavier quivered as he spoke.
Jasper was clearly more crushed and heartbroken than Xavier upon hearing the news.
Nervous, he was about to look for Alyssa when he witnessed the Jesseltons of Mosgravia’s
Jesselton Incorporated approaching him. under heavy security protection.
“Mr. Beckett, it’s the Jesseltons!” Xavier gaped at the entourage. ” Damn, are the father
and son both here? It could’ve been a sudden schedule change, as we weren’t notified at
all.”
While they were speaking, Ezzo and Zeke Jesselton came to a stop in front of Jasper.
Ezzo addressed him with amusement, “Mr. Beckett, I thought I
wouldn’t have a chance to see you again because you were absent from the meeting last
time. I thought you resigned.”
Zeke lifted his chin with a mix of disdain and haughtiness. “Dad, is he the president of the
Beckett Group? I thought the president was the
Jasper pressed his lips, knowing that he must have pissed off the Jesseltons after he stood
them up last time.
Worse, the Beckett Group and Jesselton Incorporated would see more interaction in the
future as the two companies had recently signed a billion-dollar project.
The Jesseltons appeared to hold a grudge against Jasper, looking down on him and
choosing instead to side with Justin Beckett.
“Sorry to disappoint you,” Jasper collected himself and replied with a nonchalant smile.
He shrugged off the Jesseltons’ attitude and graciously reached out for a handshake.
“Justin isn’t the president-of the Beckett Group. Besides, I have not resigned from the
company.
“Why don’t we take this opportunity to introduce ourselves once again? Let’s put aside
petty grudges that stand in the way of mutual gains. There are no everlasting enemies in
business. Don’t you agree?”
Ezzo and Zeke exchanged glances. Jasper’s humility had thwarted them from making a
scene.
Even though the Jesseltons were friends with Justin, at the end of the day, Jasper held the
power within the Beckett Group.
Moreover, Jasper hit the nail on the head when he professed that there were no
everlasting enemies in business, only private interests.
Finally, Ezzo and Zeke backed down and shook hands with Jasper, their attitude softening.
“Mr. Beckett, let’s work well together.”
Jasper replied firmly, “I hope so as well.”
The four distinguished families settled into their seats in the VIP area.

After the debacle, the Harpers seemed uneasy and abashed, except for Preston, who had
been reveling in the drama.
He relished in the trouble that ensnared Landon’s family, as he was secretly a rebel and
traitor at heart.
“Preston, thank you for taking care of Zoe’s trouble today,” Cornelius expressed his
gratitude toward his second son. “If it weren’t for you, we would have been in a difficult
spot because of what she had done.”
