Suddenly, Renee became excited. “Dad, has Mr. Beckett arrived?” she asked.


    “Yes, he’s here.”


    She eagerly added, “Have you discussed the new project with him? You must tell him that the proposal


    was my idea!


    “A man born with a silver spoon like Mr. Beckett has seen countless beautiful women. I’m sure none of


    them can grab his attention,” Reneemented with a smug smile.


    “I’m sure he’ll be interested in me. After all, I’m highly educated and broad-minded. In addition, I’m


    beautiful, not to mention my distinguished background.


    “Once he notices me, he’ll be drawn to my talents. Then, I’ll captivate him, and eventually, he will fall for


    me!*


    Her cheerful tone sounded like she had already won Jasper’s heart and was one step closer to


    marrying


    into the wealthy Beckett family.


    In the new!


    next second, Dominic’s gaze turned menacing. He replied in a low voice, “Hmph! Let me offer a


    piece of advice. Don’t get too happy,


    “What do you mean by that, Dad?”


    Dominic answered, “Jasper is a divorcee.”

    “What? H-He’s a divorcee? When did he get married?” Renee was astonished upon hearing that.


    “How would I know when he got married? But never mind that. What’s more important is, do you know


    who his ex-wife is?”


    Of course, Renee had no idea who Jasper’s ex-wife was. She had spent thest year studying and


    doing


    her research in Hestrya.


    Diving deep into the development of technology and intense work, she paid miniinal attention to


    domestic affairs during this phase of self-enhancement.


    “It’s your cousin, Alyssa Taylor Dominic uttered the name through gritted teeth.


    Instantly, the other end of the call fell silent. At that moment, all he could discern was the sound of


    Renee’s breathing.


    After a while, she burst intoughter. “Haha! Dad, you must be joking, right? Uncle Winston dotes or


    “There’s no way he would marry her off silently. Not when Alyssa is getting wed to the president of


    Beckett Group. Shouldn’t they hold a wedding of the century? How is that possible?”


    Dominic replied, “I don’t know the specific details, too. But the next one would be Mr. Beckett’s second


    marriage.”


    “Well, so what if it’s his second marriage? Even if he gets divorced eight times, he’s still a gift from the


    heavens.


    “I’m sure it’s not Mr. Beckett’s fault that he and Alyssa are divorced. It must be because she doesn’t


    have


    the capabilities to safeguard the marriage.’


    Renee continued disdainfully, “I think it’s good that they’re divorced. Alyssa is now a forsaken woman


    that


    no man wants.


    “She’ll never get in my way anymore. This gives me even more reasons to mock her when I see her.


    Haha!”


    Dominic hurriedly said, “Just moments ago, Jasper admitted publicly that he still has feelings for Alyssa


    and is still in love with her!


    ‘He made it clear that he wants to remarry her! i don’t think it will be easy for you to be with Mr.


    Beckett.”


    However, Renee remained indifferent. “Men are egoistic creatures. Back then, when you divorced


    Mom,


    you had two mistresses. Yet, you acted like Mom was the love of your life before Uncle Winston.


    “Mr. Beckett is a man of high status. So, of course, he needs to maintain his good image in public. After


    all, divorce isn’t seen as a positive thing.”


    Dominic was infuriated after listening to her. “You ungrateful girl! When have I ever mistreated you? I


    paid


    for all your food, clothes, and expenses!


    “You spent three to four million dors annually in Hestrya, including your sponsorship for emerging


    celebrities and cosmetic surgeries! Who did you think filled that financial hole for you?


    “It’s one thing if you don’t know how to appreciate my efforts. How dare you talk back to me like that?


    Believe it or not, I’ll cancel your credit cards!”


    Renee responded yfully, “Come on, Dad. I was just joking with you. Even though you and Mom


    divorced, I’m certainly on your side.


    “Dad, since you want me to give back to you, just watch closely. Once I have the chance to get close


    Mr. Beckett, it won’t be long till I be Mrs. Beckett.”


    Renee spoke with confidence while smiling arrogantly.


    On the other hand, the cocktail party moved on to the next segment. It was the much-anticipated part of


    the event, where prominent figures in Sna City’s business sector would give speeches.


    Initially, Javier was supposed to take the stage. However, sincer had arrived, Javier gave him the


    chance to address the audience.


    Jasper had just recovered from a severe injury, after all. Thus, he needed to make a public appearance


    to


    set the record straight on certain rumors regarding him and the Beckett Group.


    “You know you’re attending an event tonight. It’s fine if you’re not wearing high-end attire, but why didn’t


    you tidy up your hair?”
