Jasper stood ten feet away, meeting Javier's gaze with an indifferent look. The
row of black seats between them seemed like spiked bushes, just like their
relationship.
The air in the banquet hall immediately froze. Rory and the hotel manager were
gripped by shock and fear.
"Jasper... Why are you here? What's going on?" Javier formed a guess in mind,
but he furiously demanded an answer from Jasper.
"Isn't it obvious, Mr. Javier?" Dressed in a grey four-piece suit, Jasper stood tall
in confrontation with Javier. His frostiness and imposing air overwhelmed Javier,
who was used to being treated like a king. Javier held his breath.
Javier foresaw himself being outdone by Jasper very soon. Jasper's authoritative
behavior was the equal of Javier's younger self, if not better. At that moment,
Javier felt fortunate that there was no one else there to witness his humiliation.
"I have sent the reporters away. Seems like they'd rather get on your wrong side
than make themselves my enemy," Jasper explained with a smirk.
"Why? Why did you do so?" Anger rose in Javier, and his ears rang. "Did that
Taylor bitch ask you to do this? Are you seriously destroying your family's
reputation for her? She's fooling you!"
Jasper's expression hardened. A storm brewed in his eyes. "Everything I do is of
my free will. Lyse has nothing to do with you. I won't let you insult my future wife."
Javier's eyes wavered in surprise. Hearing that, Rory and the hotel manager fell
silent.
Jasper added, "Even if she was fooling me, there's nothing wrong with wanting to
keep my lover happy.”
"You nutcase! You're sick in the mind!" As the leader of the Beckett Group, Javier
had resorted to hurling tasteless insults in retaliation.
"I'm still better than you. You do not know right from wrong; you're defending a
criminal,” snapped Jasper, looking unfazed.
Javier lost his cool. He furiously stomped on the ground and punched in the air.
"As the chairman of the Beckett Group, everything I do is for the benefit of my
company and my family! You don't understand why I'm doing this because you're
a selfish and hopeless lovefool!”
Jasper wore an icy look. He'd rather have never been born before than find out
that his poor mother had entrusted her happiness to such a heartless and
sanctimonious jerk.
"See you at 9:00 am tomorrow in court," Jasper hissed and marched past Javier.
"You and Simon Lynch should put your best move ahead. No matter what you do,
the outcome will not change. You will witness Sophia Kirkman receiving the
harshest sentence.”

Newton doted on Jasper very much,
but he didn't have much say in the
company's affairs at his age. Jasper
repeatedly assured her that he
couldn't care less about giving up on
his influence and status, but she
couldn't possibly watch as he lost
everything just to be with her. She
would be very guilty if that happened.

She found Jasper standing out there with two cups of coffee in his hand and a
doting look in his eyes.
She quickly opened the door for him. He joined her in the car and handed her a
cup of hot coffee.
