"There wasn't much to talk about in the first place." Jasper sat heavily on the sofa. He picked up a
glass and downed the champagne in one gulp.
Thoughts of Alyssa left him feeling irritated. He felt suffocated. Jasper's eyes then turned red from the
strain.
"You really can't say anything nice. Lyse came to see you, meaning she's not angry anymore. Why
didn't you seize the opportunity to win back her favor?
"Do you really want to be my brother-in-law? I represent the Harper family as the first to oppose you
marrying into the family." Landon widened his eyes, acting all anxious.
"Landon, do you think I'm the only one who has made mistakes?" Jasper's hand clenching the glass
revealed taut veins, as if he were suppressing some tormenting emotion.
"What do you mean? Should Lyse be the one to be blamed?"
"I don't know."
"Jasper, with all the sacrifices Lyse has made for you, you have no right to blame her or be mad at her.

stupid," Landon spoke bluntly.
While Jasper was lost in thought, footsteps approached them.
"Mr. Beckett, Mr. Harper, nice to meet you."
Both men raised their eyes. Standing before them were Dominic and Renee.
Jasper's gaze turned instantly cold at the sight of the woman.
He didn't say a word but exuded an icy rejection toward the Taylor father and daughter.
Renee, who had cried so miserably in the parking lot just moments ago, had now reapplied her
makeup. She even emphasized her eye makeup with a touch of pink to look pitiful and delicate.
Landon didn't know Dominic and was even less familiar with Renee.
However, being a discerning scion of a wealthy family, he knew how to maintain proper manners.
So, he stood up, smiling. "Forgive my ignorance. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Dominic Taylor, the executive director of KS Group."
Dominic added with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Beckett has a closer relationship with our Taylor
family. After all, he has quite a relationship with my eldest niece."
"Eldest ... niece?" Landon was slightly taken aback.
"My elder brother's daughter, Alyssa. Lyse is my niece," Dominic explained with a smile. "She's a
cousin to my daughter, Renee. The two of them grew up together, so they're very close."
Landon was greatly surprised.
It turned out that Dominic was Winston's younger brother.
That was entirely unexpected, and it made Landon look at him with newfound respect.
Seeing Landon's expression soften, Renee felt a sense of accomplishment.
Although she was from a branch of the Taylor family, with the support of the Taylor family, she and her
father could still enjoy some benefits. Whenever they mentioned the name, others would give them a

second look.
"Is there anything you need?" Jasper swirled the champagne in his glass, suddenly breaking the
silence with a cold tone.
There was no warmth in his reception, even though they were from the Taylor family.
In fact, he felt an intense aversion to Dominic mentioning Alyssa every now and then, trying to get
close to him.
Over the years, as the president of Beckett Group, Jasper had encountered many people with hidden
agendas and ill intentions. Although young, he was very discerning when it came to people.
Despite being Winston's younger brother, Dominic was not on par with Winston. Also, he was certainly
not on the same level as Jasper.
Dominic cleared his throat, saying, "Actually, my daughter made a mistake before you just now, Mr.
Beckett. She bumped into you. I brought her here to apologize to you.
"But she's not the kind of woman who doesn't know her limits. Please don't misunderstand her, Mr.
Beckett."
Dominic smiled apologetically.
"M-Mr. Beckett, I'm truly sorry for what happened just now." Renee nervously intertwined her fingers in
front of her, looking pitiful.
