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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInstead, 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot. 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!”
