Chapter 312
Zoe Harper was Landon’s younger sibling, and her growth into adulthood was a story that
unfolded before Jasper’s very eyes. 1
As the eldest brother, Landon doted on Zoe very much, just like how Jonah and the Taylor
siblings treated Alyssa.
After some thought, Jasper relented. “Fine, pick me up.”
Night had fallen over the land. Landon had secured a box with the best view on the
second floor of the Solana City National Theater, all set to enjoy Zoe’s performance.
He had also arranged for a camera to be set up in the box. He was excitedly adjusting the
camera settings, planning to record Zoe’s entire performance.
Jasper sat beside him, crossing his slender legs. He shot a disdainful look at Landon, who
was behaving somewhat like a paparazzi.
“The hosting organization will record the performance and present the CD to the
performing guest. Quit embarrassing yourself with your amateur skills.”

video.”
Landon narrowed his eyes before cussing in the middle of adjusting the camera angle,
“Lyse is here. Am I seeing things? Who’s that pale, sickly guy beside her? Is he dying or
what?”
Jasper’s heart raced, and he jumped up, rushing to the railing. He spotted Alyssa and
Jameson conversing and exchanging glances in the box across from them.
Unaware of the envy brewing in the other box, Alyssa felt a chill due to the powerful air
conditioning on
the relatively empty second floor. She had goosebumps in her thin, dark green maxi dress.
Jameson noticed her discomfort and swiftly removed his jacket. He knelt on one knee,
much to her surprise.
“Jameson, what are you…” Alyssa began.
He looked into her shocked eyes and smiled. “I wanted to put my jacket on your body, but
I wouldn’t want
to hide that lovely dress of yours. You remind me of the mythological Siren in that dress.”
She held her breath, her feet squirming uneasily in her heels.

Alyssa thought that the people of Kontina must be very open about expressing their
feelings. She concluded that that was probably how Jeremy Shields won her sister, Miley
Taylor’s heart.
Meanwhile, Jasper seethed with jealousy as he watched Jameson kneel before Alyssa. The
suggestive gesture stoked his anger, causing him to grip the railing so tightly that his
knuckles turned white and his veins bulged.
Jasper couldn’t shake the thought of whether Alyssa and Jameson were now an item. He
pondered whether she had developed feelings for him.
Jasper was in so much pain that he was scared of drawing another breath.
“Who the hell is that guy?” Despite being rejected by Alyssa, Landon was furious when he

He continued, “He looks all polished with those glasses, but I bet he’s a wolf in sheep’s
clothing. And why does he have that weird, powdery look on his face? Where’s he from?”
Jasper’s gaze remained fixed on Alyssa as he explained with an icy tone, “He’s Jameson
Schmidt, the youngest son of Victor Schmidt from the Schmidt Group.”
“The Schmidts?” Landon was taken aback. “Why haven’t I heard of this guy before?”
“He lived in Kontina for years before recently returning to Solana City.”
“Ooh. The Schmidts sound like a formidable bunch. Gosh! Why is it so difficult to fight for
Alyssa’s affection?”
Landon cast an amused glance at his friend. “Bro, you can do it. You have two choices-to
surrender or to fight him. Make your pick.”
Jasper inhaled sharply and clenched his jaw. “You! Shut the hell up!”
