Chapter 772
At that moment, Jasper found himself to be laughable.
He had thought that, despite Zoe’s bad behavior, there should still be a trace of innocence in her. After
all,
she was his best friend’s only sister.
However, he had misjudged her. Her relationship with Landon was only by blood, and Zoe was nothing
like Landon in other aspects.
She had already been corrupted, perhaps even inherently bad from the beginning. The only reason
Jasper
had seen the good in her was the fact that she was Landon’s sister.
Since that was the case, he didn’t need to show mercy for the sake of his best friend.
“Zoe! What nonsense are you talking about? Getting hit by a car? If something happens to you, how
can I
continue living?” Penelope pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
“Zoe is my only granddaughter, my precious jewel! She has been raised with the utmost care since
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchildhood. She had never suffered any hardship.
“She cursed herself just to prove her innocence to you. This shows that every word she says is the
truth!”
Cornelius stroked Zoe’s head as he glared at Jasper. “Zoe might be a little spoiled, but she has never
told
a lie in her entire lifetime! Is Newton’s grandson so cowardly that he can’t own up to his actions?”
Upon hearing that, Jasper squinted his eyes and clenched his fingers tightly, suppressing his raging
anger.
“Mr. Cornelius, your words are simply too harsh!”
Javier couldn’t bear to hear others insult his son so recklessly in front of so many people, especially
when
his father was dragged into it. He had to uphold his dignity.
“Let’s stick to the matter at hand! What are your demands? Just say it.
“Both of our families are prestigious in Solana City. It’s already unsightly for you to come here tonight.
Do
you really want to make things ugly with my family?”
Just then, Zoe’s eyes sparkled with a sinister light.
This time, she brought Cornelius here to use his influence to force Jasper into marrying her.
She didn’t want to make things ugly with the Beckett family. That would be a complete loss.
“Mr. Javier, I have two reasonable requests.”
Cornelius’s face darkened. “Firstly, I want your son to apologize to Zoe right now. After all, it was
because of him that she was surrounded by reporters and almost suffered a reputation loss.
“Originally, I wanted your family to hold a press conference, but as you said, we are all prestigious
figures. Making a big deal out of it would bring shame to your family. So, just privately apologize, and I
won’t
pursue it any further.”
All the butlers and servants in the Seaview Manor couldn’t stand it any longer. They all showed
expressions of indignation.
Jasper was a noble figure, yet this old man badly bullied him!
They really wanted to let a dog in to bite him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Cornelius, what has Mr. Jasper done wrong? Why should he apologize to Ms. Zoe? You’re being
too
unfair!”
Everyone turned around in unison, only to see Rosie storming out in anger, standing up for Jasper.
Sophia, hiding behind Javier, was initially surprised but then revealed a sinister smile.
She had disliked Rosie for a long time. Over the years, Rosie had taken advantage of Jasper’s support
to
disregard her.
Now, she even had the audacity to come forward for Jasper. Well, this wouldn’t end well for her.
“Mrs. Rosie, go back quickly,” Jasper urged Rosie in a low voice.
“Mr. Jasper, I’m afraid you’ll be bullied!” Rosie’s eyes were teary.
She had been silently watching from upstairs for a long time, enduring it. When she heard Cornelius
forcing Jasper to apologize to Zoe, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Mr. Javier, Madam Sophia, even a servant from your house can speak so recklessly? Isn’t that too
disrespectful?” Penelope sneered at Rosie.
