Javier sat in the audience and looked disdainfully at Jasper. “Look at all thepany presidents here.


    Which one of them shaved their head to get a crew cut? Are you still serving in the military?


    “You should pay more attention to your image. Also, you had surgy but a scar on your scalp.


    Why didn’t you wear a wig to cover it?”


    Jasper lowered his gaze, his tone cold yet confident as he replied, “Everyone in Sna City knows


    about


    my injury. So, covering it would be pointless. Besides, even if I’m bald, it won’t affect my good looks.”


    Javier pursed his lips upon hearing that. Despite having low opinions of many aspects of his son, he


    had


    to admit that Jasper had inherited all the best traits from him and Anne. Jasper was basically wless


    and perfect.


    “I’ll have someone make a realistic wig for you tomorrow. Then, I’ll send it over to you,” Javier insisted.


    In fact, it was not about the wig. Javier simply did not like that Jasper was going against him. Hence, he


    was always looking for opportunities to control thetter.


    ong as she


    “I won’t wear it even if you pass it to me. Alyssaid she likes my current hairstyle. So, as longN?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    likes it, I’ll never change it.”


    Jasper’s voice immediately softened when he mentioned Alyssa.


    “You-”


    “And now, let’s wee the president of Beckett Group-Mr. Jasper Beckett!”


    The audience erupted in thunderous apuse. Jasper rose to his feet gracefully, ignoring Javier’s grim


    expression. Then, he walked toward the stage.


    Standing in front of the microphone, Jasper appeared collected and handsome. His presence was


    imposing.


    One would never suspect that he recently had his head cut open as he looked incredibly energetic.


    Just


    as he was about to speak, the phone in his hand vibrated.


    In the past, Jasper would ignore it. However, that night, Alyssa was unreachable. That was why he kept


    his phone with him the whole night.


    Jasper worried that he would miss any of her calls or messages. Thus, when his phone vibrated, his


    hea skipped a beat too.


    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, since Jasper 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?
