Chapter 380

a step back, putting some distance between herself and Zoe to steer clear of the ongoing
controversy.
The reporters who came to their senses scrutinized Zoe.
One of them remarked, “So, Ms. Harper was pointing fingers, even though she wasn’t even a VIP
member
at AX. That’s quite absurd.”
Another chimed in, saying, “She should have minded her own business.”
A third reporter added, “She believes she can have a say just because she bought a few pieces from
AX.
Look at her, making these bold usations in front of the CEO, who probably doesn’t even know her
name. It’s rather tactless. She’s no match for Ms. Alyssa!”
Zoe couldn’t help but grumble inwardly about the media. How could theypare her to Alyssa?
Zoe’s mind went nk as she almost cked out from the anger. That was the greatest humiliation she
had endured in her young life.
Alyssa paid no attention to Zoe as she left the scene, chatting merrily with Vincent and Ada.
The reporters flocked after them, leaving Zoe behind. Her face drained of color.
“Zoe! T-This is bad!” Betty hurried over and tugged on Zoe’s arm. She hissed nervously, “Jasper is
here!”
“J-Jasper? Where?” Feeling guilty, Zoe sweated profusely.
“He was standing not far away and saw everything that happened! He appeared out of nowhere, like a
ghost. I didn’t even notice when he arrived or how much of it he saw!”
Zoe inhaled sharply and rigidly turned around. She spotted Jasper’s tall, stern silhouette ring at her
from the shadows.
A suffocating sensation gripped her throat. Her breathing, heart rate, and thoughts seemed to stall.
“J-Jasper!”
Furrowing his brows, Jasper coldly shook his head and walked away with Xavier following closely
behind.
Zoe had a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She stumbled backward. Jasper’s gaze seemed like a
knife, severing the ties between him and her. a
Zoe buried her face in her palms and sobbed loudly in the washroom. Her delicate eye makeup was
smudged, and her eyeliner and glitter were everywhere.
She grumbled, “Damn it! Why isn’t that bitch dead yet? She should’ve been run over by a car or
something!”

She cried not only because Alyssa outmaneuvered her at the event. More damningly, Jasper caught
her in the act of creating trouble for Alyssa. This time, she could not talk her way out of it. 1
“Exactly. Why hasn’t karma caught up with her?” Betty cursed Alyssa alongside Zoe, but she was
secretly gleeful about Zoe’s defeat. (1
“Why didn’t you do anything about it? Not a word from you!” Zoe released her anger on Betty.
“I-I was too dumb to think of anything. You’ve always been the one toe up with ideas. I’m useless
here. If I were smarter, I’d have handled Alyssa myself,” Betty hurriedly exined.
Between sobs, Zoe hissed, “Is there no news from Abigail yet? Has she not found anything to exploit?
That useless loser!”
“Stay calm. She will help us because she hates Alyssa to the bone.”
Right then, Betty’s phone buzzed. After checking the caller’s name, she grinned evilly and waved her
phone at Zoe. “Guess who this is? It’s a call from Abigail!”
Zoe clenched her jaw. “This time, I want Alyssa Taylor to crash! I want all her efforts to go to waste!”
