Chapter 675
It was impossible not to be moved by Jasper’s efforts.
Winston was incredibly touched by Jasper’s explanation, and he no longer treated Jasper
with hostility.” Jasper, thank you. I can see your effort and sincerity in the gift. You must
have gone through a lot of
trouble for this.”
“Mr. Taylor, you’re most welcome,” Jasper replied with calm, but his heart was drumming
in joy as he clenched his fists. Winston had finally called him by his first name!
He felt as though he had finally gained the approval of an in-law after years of taunting for
his relationship
with Alyssa. He might even lose sleep over this milestone.
In contrast, Jameson wrestled with anger when he witnessed Jasper’s triumph and

careful planning. It was a bitter defeat.
With a smile, Jasper announced, “I have another gift for Madam Lyla. It’s a joint gesture
from me and my
grandfather. On behalf of Beckett Group, we will contribute three million dollars to Lyla
Taylor Care
Foundation for its charitable work.”
The guests were astounded by Beckett Group’s generous donation.
Winston’s eyes sparkled as he nodded appreciatively. Jasper, despite his flaws, had shown
keen
observation and thoughtfulness.
He had donated three million dollars, slightly less than Winston’s previous donation, to
avoid stealing the
spotlight. The gesture placed him ahead of Jameson.
Newton beamed approvingly and gave Jasper a thumbs-up. He had planned to donate to
the foundation
anyway.
Sensing an opportunity, Victor casually raised his hand and declared, “I’m contributing
four million dollars,
just a bit less than your donation, Winston!”
The guests were awestruck by Victor’s generosity. The Schmidts felt compelled to follow
the Becketts’
lead to save face.
“Thanks!” Winston waved at Victor with a smile. For these business tycoons, millions of
dollars were
nothing.

“Did Dad just donate four million dollars to Taylor Group’s foundation? Is it worth it?” David
muttered
quietly.
“Dad probably thinks that four million dollars is a fair price to pay after getting humiliated
by Jimmy,” Josh commented with a snicker when he noticed Jameson turning white.
After presenting the birthday gifts, Jasper and Jameson left the stage. Adjusting his glasses
with a malicious glint, Jameson commented, “Well, Mr. Beckett, I never expected you to be
so clever. It was
quite an effort. I’ll let you win this time, but just this once.”
“Choose your words carefully, Mr. Schmidt,” Jasper replied, lifting his chin proudly.
“You didn’t ‘let me win’. You lost to me.”
“Jasper Beckett,” hissed Jameson with rage in his eyes. He couldn’t stand the idea of being
defeated.
