Zoe Harper was Landon’s younger sibling, and her growth into adulthood was a story that unfolded


    before Jasper’s very eyes. 1


    As the eldest brother, Landon doted on Zoe very much, just like how Jonah and the Taylor siblings


    treated Alyssa.


    After some thought, Jasper relented. “Fine, pick me up.”


    Night had fallen over thend. Landon had secured a box with the best view on the second floor of the


    Sna City National Theater, all set to enjoy Zoe’s performance.


    He had also arranged for a camera to be set up in the box. He was excitedly adjusting the camera


    settings, nning to record Zoe’s entire performance.


    Jasper sat beside him, crossing his slender legs. He shot a disdainful look at Landon, who was


    behaving somewhat like a paparazzi.


    “The hosting organization will record the performance and present the CD to the performing guest. Quit


    embarrassing yourself with your amateur skills.”


    “What do you know, you nitwit? My recording is full of love. It’s different from the official video.”


    Landon narrowed his eyes before cussing in the middle of adjusting the camera angle, “Lyse is here.


    Am I seeing things? Who’s that pale, sickly guy beside her? Is he dying or what?”


    Jasper’s heart raced, and he jumped up, rushing to the railing. He spotted Alyssa and Jameson


    conversing and exchanging nces in the box across from them.


    Unaware of the envy brewing in the other box, Alyssa felt a chill due to the powerful air conditioning on


    the rtively empty second floor. She had goosebumps in her thin, dark green maxi dress.


    Jameson noticed her difort and swiftly removed his jacket. He knelt on one knee, much to her


    surprise.


    “Jameson, what are you…” Alyssa began.


    He looked into her shocked eyes and smiled. “I wanted to put my jacket on your body, but I wouldn’t


    want


    to hide that lovely dress of yours. You remind me of the mythological Siren in that dress.”


    She held her breath, her feet squirming uneasily in her heels.


    Alyssa thought that the people of Kontina must be very open about expressing their feelings. She


    concluded that that was probably how Jeremy Shields won her sister, Miley Taylor’s heart.


    Meanwhile, Jasper seethed with jealousy as he watched Jameson kneel before Alyssa. The suggestive


    gesture stoked his anger, causing him to grip the railing so tightly that his knuckles turned white and his


    veins bulged.


    Jasper couldn’t shake the thought of whether Alyssa and Jameson were now an item. He pondered


    whether she had developed feelings for him.

    Jasper was in so much pain that he was scared of drawing another breath.


    “Who the hell is that guy?” Despite being rejected by Alyssa, Landon was furious when he saw her with


    another man.


    He continued, “He looks all polished with those sses, but I bet he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And


    why does he have that weird, powdery look on his face? Where’s he from?”


    Jasper’s gaze remained fixed on Alyssa as he exined with an icy tone, “He’s Jameson Schmidt, the


    youngest son of Victor Schmidt from the Schmidt Group.”


    “The Schmidts?” Landon was taken aback. “Why haven’t I heard of this guy before?”


    “He lived in Kontina for years before recently returning to Sna City.”


    “Ooh. The Schmidts sound like a formidable bunch. Gosh! Why is it so difficult to fight for Alyssa’s


    affection?”


    Landon cast an amused nce at his friend. “Bro, you can do it. You have two choices-to surrender or


    to fight him. Make your pick.”


    Jasper inhaled sharply and clenched his jaw. “You! Shut the hell up!”


    The spacious walkway suddenly felt much narrower.
