Jasper inhaled sharply. That hit Zoe where it hurt.


    “Tyler might be from Yoarkley, but he understood the importance of respecting one’s mentor. He’s my


    mentee, and he’ll never betray our trust for short-term gains,” Alyssa said with a smirk.


    She then added, “So, Ms. Harper, you made a mistake from the beginning. One shouldn’t have


    underestimated the noble character of a gentleman with one’s questionable values.”


    It was a clear insult directed at Zoe.


    Jasper wore a grin on his lips despite looking calm. Landon’s lips drooped as his face looked clouded,


    losing hisposure.


    He had braced himself for Alyssa’s straightforwardness but hadn’t expected it to sting so deeply.


    “Alyssa Taylor! You’re a sly, devious bitch!” Zoe was seeing red. She pointed a finger at Alyssa, which


    only


    highlighted her farcical behavior.


    “Y-You acted like you didn’t know I met with Tyler. You knew Betty would give Ada Kingsley that


    ne,


    but you said nothing until the charity auction. Was that to humiliate her?


    “Alyssa, how could you be so wicked? Must you ruin every person who was in your way?” As Zoe


    spoke,


    she started weeping as if she was the victim.


    “What else should I do? I can’t be keeping them around.” Alyssa rolled her eyes in annoyance.


    “You-” Zoe was too angry to speak. Alyssa was impudent. How dare she speak recklessly in Landon


    and


    Jasper’s presence? She did not seem to mind what men think about her. 1


    “Ms. Harper, you’re here to apologize, not to point fingers. Is it difficult to admit you’re wrong?”


    After a pause, Jasper looked squarely at Alyssa while addressing Zoe, “Even if Javier did not teach


    Betty a lesson, I would have done so. Even if Landon did not force you toe here, I would have


    done so. The result is the same. Do you have anything else to say?”


    Alyssa looked up with aplicated expression. Jasper did not go easy on Zoe. Anyway, it was none


    of her business.


    “Jasper …” Zoe was heartbroken and furious as tears streamed down her face. Jasper was no longer


    the gentle guy with a smile who’d stroll in the park with her, hand-in-hand.


    He hadpletely lost himself after being bewitched by Alyssa!


    “Hey, are you going to apologize or not?” Alyssa lost her patience and was ready to leave.


    “Zoe, apologize to Ms. Alyssa!” Landon urged.


    “I’m sorry…” Zoe hissed through gritted teeth in an almost inaudible voice.


    “Louder. I can’t hear you,” demanded Alyssa with a frown.


    “Sorry!” Just as Zoe spoke, Landon approached her and forced her to bend over and bow to Alyssa.


    She couldn’t fight Landon and was forced to nod to Alyssa. She was torn by the grave humiliation, and


    she vowed to take her revenge.


    “Sean,” Alyssa called out to Sean as she rose.


    “Yes, Ms. Alyssa,” he answered.


    “I heard Mr. Harper said he’dpensate me for the damages caused by Ms. Harper’s actions on
