Did Jasper just announce he wouldn’t get a divorce


    Sophia and Betty were taken aback by his sudden change in attitude l’or a moment, Sophia forgot


    about her outburst while Betty stopped crying


    Jasper Beckett Are you defying my order?


    Jasper, the out of wedlock son who was never favored, always went against Javier’s wishes since


    he was young


    Now that Jasper was appointed the president, he became even more brazen with his newly-


    attamed power and publicly defied his father


    Jasper was equally shocked by the smooth objection


    “What are you thinking? You were the one who wanted a divorce from Alice and to marry Lia‘ But don’t


    want to divorce Alice now that I asked you to How could you take marriage lightly? I’ve


    raised a useless son“”

    “Taking marriage lightly? That sounds about right” Jasper was enraged and restored with squinted


    eyes, “Like father, like son”


    “You prick!” Like a detonated bomb, Javier lost control of himself and pped Jasper hard on the face.


    Even Jasper jolted at the loud p–a red mark formed on his cheek.


    “Gosh, Javier. Just speak to him nicely. Why would you hit him? Jasper might be a little brash because


    he’s young and hot–blooded. It will only ruin your health and your rtionship with him. It’s not worth it


    all.”


    Sophia went up to hold Javier. She secretly chuckled at the scene and felt better after Jasper got


    what he deserved.


    “Sophie, I know you have a soft spot for him. You’ve always treated him like your own. You doted on


    him too much! You nevery a finger on him. Look at him now–you’re why he’s a spoiled brat.” Javier’s


    hand felt numb after the p. His face was redder than Jasper’s.


    “He’ll always be a child to me. I’m not his biological mother, so he won’t warm up to me. If I’m not nice


    to him, I’ll only push him further away. I just wanted to be a good mom.”


    Sophia started sobbing pitifully without warning. Each word that came from her sounded from a ce


    of weakness, but she was merely attempting to add fuel to the fire.


    Smirking, Jasper was familiar with her tricks. He saw through her fakeness from a young age. He never


    called her out because he knew Javier couldn’t care less about him.


    He was only appointed the president of the Beckett Group as his sickly older brother was


    recuperating in Mosgravia


    As a neglected child, he learned that he couldn’t get what he wanted just by gaining the pity of his


    father


    “He’s no child He’s thirty years old! You should stop finding excuses for him.” Pointing at Jasper, Javier


    baked, “I have two tasks for you. You need to get them done tomorrow!


    “Fustly, file the divorce with Alice White and get her to apologize to Betty in person! Secondly, take


    Betty off the trending topics on Twitter and make the scandal die down.”


    A faint smile appeared on Jasper’s lips. He had a scary scowl on his face. “Dad, do you always get


    physical with your business opponents before entering the negotiations?”


    W–What do you mean?” Javier was surprised.


    “We might be father and son but we need to separate personal matters from business. I will never back


    down whenever thepany’s interest is at stake.”


    He exined, “I cannot divorce Alice for now because I promised Grandpa I’d officially get the divorce


    after his 80th birthday. I need to keep my word. As for the negative news online, I proposed that Betty


    issue a public apology. I will not actively intervene.”


    *Jasper You- ring, Javier was about to p Jasper again when Jasper grabbed his wrist.


    “Dad, I’m almost thirty years old. Do you think you can hit me as you like?” Jasper’s eyes gleamed with


    a vicious look.


    Javier flinched and felt a dull pain in his wrist.
