Chapter 460
Jasper’s lips stretched into a thin line. “She has Jameson now, besides her throng of
brothers. I don’t
need to kiss her ass even more. That’s embarrassing to a man of my stature.”
Xavier quickly cried, “But Mr. Jasper, you’re not even in her neutral books at this point.
This is the only way.
to win her back!”
Jasper glared at his secretary, making the man shut up instantly.
“We’ve divorced. There’s no use trying to revive anything. I don’t intend on getting her
back either.”
Jasper cleared his throat, his voice hoarse.
“What’s mine would never leave me, and what’s not, well, there’s no point chasing after it
once it’s gone. I
have never regretted leaving her. Never.”
Sophia stormed back to Seaview Manor, bursting into tears even before stepping into the
study. She
clung onto Javier, sobbing and crying her misery out.
“How could Jasper do this to his own sister? What a cruel child! He didn’t want to help.
That’s fine. But
how could he dismiss Betty from her post?

he’s CEO! He’s
been disrespecting you more and more ever since you promoted him to this post!”
“I was the one who gave that order.” Javier pushed Sophia away, feeling irritated. “I was
the one who
instructed Jasper to dismiss Betty.”
How strange. Whenever Sophia behaved like this in front of him, he would always feel
unbearably eager to
appease her and make her happy again. His defenses would cave in like butter to a hot
knife.
But all he wanted to do right now was stay far away from her to get some peace of mind.
Javier found himself reminiscing about Jasper’s mother more and more these days, of how
proud and
independent and strong she had been.
She never once shed a tear nor pleaded so pitifully to him as Sophia did, trying to win his
favor.
Javier’s greatest regret in life was probably the fact that he never actually won Jasper’s
mother over.
It was during that time of his life that Sophia had appeared, fulfilling his masculine pride
and desire.
If only Jasper’s mother had been gentler with him. Maybe they wouldn’t have ended up
like this. After all,
he had truly loved her back then.
“W-What?” Sophia gazed at him in utter shock. “What did you say, Javier?”
“How could you expect me to keep her in the company when she has made such a terrible
mistake?
Where would that make me stand, being the president of the company? What would the
world think of us?
Javier asked sternly.
Sophia retorted, “Is your pride as the company president more important than your own
child?”
“I am Betty’s father, and I’m also the one steering this company forward!” Javier
exclaimed,
angry now.
He continued, “You can spoil your daughter all you want, but I cannot sit by and tolerate
her actions at the
company’s expense!”
“How could you say something like that, Javier? Do you hate me? Do you not love me
anymore?” Sophia
cried, inquiring the most inopportune question to pose to a man.
“I do not have time to deal with this foolishness right now! Winston is declaring war
against us because
of Alyssa, and I need to deal with this. They’re threatening to take this to court!” Javier
angrily shoved

He added, “If you have so much time to whine and sob before me, why don’t you teach
your daughter how
to behave? Do you have any idea how much trouble Betty has caused us for all these
years?
How many times do I have to clean up after her? She’s 25 years old, Sophia. How much
longer do I have
to clean up her mess?”
Sophia was frightened. “J-Javier…”
“I don’t understand it. She’s my child too. Yet why is she so drastically different from
Anne’s son? Look at
Jasper. He’s never caused me any trouble and always kept the company in check.
“He even spearheaded the company’s development way beyond that of the Schmidt
Group!
“On the other hand, your daughter has always found some way to be either useless or
troublesome to us.
So you’d better think about what you’ve done wrong in raising her!”
Javier then stormed out of the study, slamming the door behind him.
Sophia’s eyes welled up with angry, hurt tears once more, and they cascaded down her
cheeks.
“Anne… That fucking bitch… You still haven’t gotten over her, have you? Hahahaha! So
what? I still killed her in the end… I still killed her! Sophia cried hysterically, cackling and
sobbing like a mad woman.
Recalling Jasper’s words to her earlier today, her anger upped to no end. “I won’t stop
here, Anne… I’m going to make your precious, darling son fall to ruins in my hands!”
