Chapter 1098
Cornelius thought, “The Taylors should count their blessings. If it were someone else who slapped Zoe,
they’d be in serious trouble.”
Jonah fixed his gaze on Zoe. Despite not saying a word, he induced fear in Zoe, who promptly leaned
closer to Penelope.
Lyla released Winston’s arm and hurriedly reached for Alyssa’s hand. ” Lyse, are you okay? Are you
hurt anywhere?”
Penelope and Zoe looked incredulous upon hearing Lyla’s words.
“I’m fine, Lyla. Don’t worry,” Alyssa reassured Lyla.
“Lyse, I don’t believe that you slapped her. We trust your character, even if the outsiders don’t,” Lyla
expressed her trust in Alyssa while shooting daggers at Zoe.

Alyssa with mixed emotions. He wasn’t concerned at all about the possibility of Alyssa beating up Zoe.
After all, Alyssa had always been cheeky and sassy from a young age.
What bothered him was the fallout from the incident and the potential damage to Alyssa’s reputation.

“Long before this, Mr. Jameson had expressed his interest in Ms. Alyssa at the charity auction!”
“No shit, Sherlock. Just look at the way he stares at her. He even defended her against the Harpers.
He’s made it very clear.”
“I wonder Winston Taylor’s thoughts about the president of Beckett Group versus the Schmidt
princeling”
“I would pick Mr. Jameson. At least, he seems relatively scandal-free, unlike Jasper Beckett and his
involvements with Liana Gardner and now Zoe Harper. Who knows if he’ll be cheating on Ms. Alyssa

Jameson before, he seemed
familiar.
The overwhelming fear nearly suffocated her.
Penelope hugged Zoe tightly and hissed in fury, “Mr. Jameson, are you suggesting that Zoe framed
Alyssa? How could you victim-blame after my daughter has been roughed up? I know your family is
