Chapter 363
Betty thought that Zoe was a bluff. She couldn’t help but wonder how someone like Zoe could possibly
get her hands on Alexa’s designs when even a celebrity superstar like Ada had trouble doing so.
Betty rolled her eyes silently, though she still praised, “You’re amazing, Zoe! If you can find one of Alexa’s
designs to give Ada, she’ll definitely join us!
“That way, we’d get revenge on Alyssa and help my brother. You’ll leave a good impression on him, too.
I’m sure your relationship with him will blossom then!”
Zoe was grinning so widely that her teeth looked like they might fall out. “That’s why we need to win Ada
over from KS World!”
Betty, meanwhile, had other ideas.
She wasn’t going to help Jasper. They didn’t even share the same mother.
Instead, she intended to use this opportunity to prove herself to their father and wrest control of the
project from him.
That would earn her father’s favor and help reconcile her mother’s relationship with him. And Zoe would
become the catalyst for that, Betty thought sneakily.
“Well, tonight went to hell,” Zoe grumbled. “Jasper left, and my brother never showed up either ... Screw
him. I’m not going to talk to him when I go home!”
“But I did see your brother earlier. He left before you saw him,” Betty suddenly said coldly.
“What? When?”
“When you were playing the piano, he was right there with my sister, Lauren. She’s really pushing him
toward fame,” Betty remarked with a hint of bitterness.
“Your sister? Your sister, that idiot?” Zoe was in shock, unable to believe what she’d just heard. She knew
Lauren very well. They were even classmates in the same girls’ school back then.
“It’s over for me, Zoe,” Betty moaned. “Your brother seems to be in love with her already.”
“In love?” Zoe rose from her seat, splashing her drink all over the counter. “That idiot doesn’t deserve my
brother’s love!”
Betty secretly cheered her on. However, on the surface, she continued miserably, “You didn’t see how
caring and tender he was toward her. He bought a gown for her and even told her how he would only treat
honestly-”
She sighed again, the wine lowering her inhibitions. “I’m beginning to think that he’s just blind. He’s as
blind as a fucking bat.”
Zoe’s expression grew even more menacing. She sneered, “Are you standing up for her, Betty? Do you miss Alyssa being your
sister-in-law?”
“What?” Realizing she had misspoken, Betty gave an awkward chuckle. “No, no, of course not. I’m analyzing the situation for
you.
“I don’t know why Jasper is behaving like this after the divorce. Is this what they mean by realizing how much someone means to
you after you lose them?”
Zoe gritted her teeth, a dark and obsessive need for possessing Jasper churning in her gut. “I don’t buy it. Jasper’s not in love
with Alyssa Taylor! If he were, they wouldn’t be fucking divorced after three years of marriage! He’s just envious because she’s
doing better without him!”
She then twirled her hair around her fingers, saying, “Meanwhile, I have known Jasper for years. Alyssa could never compare to
me. I’m sure he still cares about me. He’s just blinded by that whore, Alyssa!”
Betty grimaced but said nothing. Something was definitely wrong with Zoe, but she couldn’t say anything just yet. After all, she
still needed Zoe’s help to marry Landon!
“We need to find a way to get Ada on our side. Betty, we need to help Jasper win this. I’ll help you,” Zoe decided. Her bloodshot
eyes narrowed as she recalled how Alyssa had given “Ragnarok” to Ada.
Zoe added, “It’s just a fucking brooch. Alexa has way more designs than this. If she can get her hands on one, then I can too!”
