Chapter 473
Jasper inhaled sharply. That hit Zoe where it hurt.
“Tyler might be from Yoarkley, but he understood the importance of respecting one’s mentor. He’s my mentee, and he’ll never
betray our trust for short-term gains,” Alyssa said with a smirk.
She then added, “So, Ms. Harper, you made a mistake from the beginning. One shouldn’t have
underestimated the noble character of a gentleman with one’s questionable values.”
It was a clear insult directed at Zoe.
Jasper wore a grin on his lips despite looking calm. Landon’s lips drooped as his face looked clouded,
losing his composure.
He had braced himself for Alyssa’s straightforwardness but hadn’t expected it to sting so deeply.
“Alyssa Taylor! You’re a sly, devious bitch!” Zoe was seeing red. She pointed a finger at Alyssa, which only
highlighted her farcical behavior.
“Y-You acted like you didn’t know I met with Tyler. You knew Betty would give Ada Kingsley that necklace,
but you said nothing until the charity auction. Was that to humiliate her?
“Alyssa, how could you be so wicked? Must you ruin every person who was in your way?” As Zoe spoke,
she started weeping as if she was the victim.
“What else should I do? I can’t be keeping them around.” Alyssa rolled her eyes in annoyance.
“You-” Zoe was too angry to speak. Alyssa was impudent. How dare she speak recklessly in Landon and
Jasper’s presence? She did not seem to mind what men think about her. 1
“Ms. Harper, you’re here to apologize, not to point fingers. Is it difficult to admit you’re wrong?”
After a pause, Jasper looked squarely at Alyssa while addressing Zoe, “Even if Javier did not teach Betty a lesson, I would have
done so. Even if Landon did not force you to come here, I would have done so. The result is the same. Do you have anything
else to say?”
Alyssa looked up with a complicated expression. Jasper did not go easy on Zoe. Anyway, it was none of her business.
“Jasper ...” Zoe was heartbroken and furious as tears streamed down her face. Jasper was no longer the gentle guy with a smile
who’d stroll in the park with her, hand-in-hand.
He had completely lost himself after being bewitched by Alyssa!
“Hey, are you going to apologize or not?” Alyssa lost her patience and was ready to leave.
“Zoe, apologize to Ms. Alyssa!” Landon urged.
“I’m sorry...” Zoe hissed through gritted teeth in an almost inaudible voice.
“Louder. I can’t hear you,” demanded Alyssa with a frown.
“Sorry!” Just as Zoe spoke, Landon approached her and forced her to bend over and bow to Alyssa.
She couldn’t fight Landon and was forced to nod to Alyssa. She was torn by the grave humiliation, and she vowed to take her
revenge.
“Sean,” Alyssa called out to Sean as she rose.
“Yes, Ms. Alyssa,” he answered.
“I heard Mr. Harper said he’d compensate me for the damages caused by Ms. Harper’s actions on behalf
of the Harper Group. Please itemize the compensation for infringement and psychological distress and present them to Mr.
Harper.”
