Chapter 1108

Jasper’s public act of chivalry proved to the guests that Alyssa was the only love of his life. Zoe Harper

meant nothing to him at all.

Jameson clenched his fists, his body tensing. Why was he always a step slower than Jasper Beckett?

Why did that scoundrel always manage to be in the place beside Alyssa?

Zeke looked visibly upset, but he maintained a smile. “It’s the Cyrrisian culture to protect the ladies. Mr.

Beckett, you’re indeed a gentleman for taking care of Ms. Alyssa. Compared to you, I appear a little too

rash. I was wrong to disregard Ms. Alyssa’s feelings. For that, I’ll drink as a penalty.”

After that, Zeke downed a glass of champagne. Jasper studied him with a knowing gaze as he

confidently downed his drink as well. The timely applause from the audience alleviated the tension, but

Javier wore a discontented expression.

Betty couldn’t help but scoff. “Dad, what’s Jasper thinking? Zeke Jesselton clearly has an interest in

Alyssa, so why is he coming between them? He’s only going to upset Zeke. How can he prioritize a

woman over business relationships? This shows he’s unfit to be the group president. And that Alyssa

Taylor is nothing but trouble.”

“Can’t you learn from Lauren for once and keep your mouth shut? Women from your social standing

don’t blabber as much as you do!” Javier glared at Betty, silencing her.

Meanwhile, Alyssa raised her glass with a smile and announced,” Ladies and gentlemen, let’s all toast

to the Jesseltons today! Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

The atmosphere lightened under Alyssa’s lead and her bright smile.

She hid in a corner, clutching her glass but refusing to drink.

“Hm? Madam Sophia, why aren’t you drinking?” Alyssa cast a dooming glance at the pale Sophia.

Then, she smiled. “Don’t you want to celebrate the merry occasion with our VIP guests? Or does the

Schmidts’ luxurious Grunslandish Dom Pérignon not suit your taste?”

Sophia’s heart sank. Flashing an awkward smile, she glowered at Alyssa as all eyes turned to her.

Indeed, she hadn’t taken a sip of the champagne.

The Schmidts did not conceal their displeasure at all. Josh hinted at Daisy, who was always obedient to

him. She immediately jeered, “I bet Madam Sophia, as the matriarch of the Beckett Group, has enjoyed

better luxuries. It’s fine if she does not like the peasant’s drink we’re serving today.”

Sophia sensed the sarcasm, especially after Daisy Schmidt had caused her trouble at previous social

events. Of course, Daisy wouldn’t miss the chance to take a jab at her.

Sophia was forced to clarify, “That’s not what I mean! Please don’t misunderstand. I’m just a

lightweight.”

However, Jasper promptly called her out, “Oh, Madam Sophia, you’re too humble. Aren’t you the one

who drinks the most at our family’s cocktail parties? Just unleash your true self at this merry event.”

Madam Sophia? Jasper sounded like he was addressing one of the many maids at home. The guests

exchanged complicated looks, wondering if Jasper still refused to acknowledge Sophia even after

Sophia worked her way up tirelessly to be Javier’s wife.

It would be really amusing if Jasper addressed Sophia as such in private.

Sophia trembled violently. Even her heavy makeup couldn’t conceal

the resentment on her face.
