"There wasn''t much to talk about in the first ce." Jasper sat heavily on the sofa. He picked up a


    ss and downed


    the champagne in one gulp.


    Thoughts of Alyssa left him feeling irritated. He felt suffocated. Jasper''s eyes then turned red from the


    strain.


    "You really can''t say anything nice. Lyse came to see you, meaning she''s not angry anymore. Why


    didn''t you seize


    the opportunity to win back her favor?


    "Do you really want to be my brother-inw? I represent the Harper family as the first to oppose you

    the family." Landon widened his eyes, acting all anxious.


    "Landon, do you think I''m the only one who has made mistakes?" Jasper''s hand clenching the ss


    revealed taut


    veins, as if he were suppressing some tormenting emotion.


    "What do you mean? Should Lyse be the one to be med?"


    "I don''t know."


    "Jasper, with all the sacrifices Lyse has made for you, you have no right to me her or be mad at her.


    If you truly


    love her, everything she does is right. Don''t try to reason with women. That''s just being stupid," Landon


    spoke


    bluntly.


    While Jasper was lost in thought, footsteps approached them.


    "Mr. Beckett, Mr. Harper, nice to meet you."


    Both men raised their eyes. Standing before them were Dominic and Renee.


    Jasper''s gaze turned instantly cold at the sight of the woman.


    He didn''t say a word but exuded an icy rejection toward the Taylor father and daughter.


    Renee, who had cried so miserably in the parking lot just moments ago, had now reapplied her


    makeup. She even


    emphasized her eye makeup with a touch of pink to look pitiful and delicate.


    Landon didn''t know Dominic and was even less familiar with Renee.


    However, being a discerning scion of a wealthy family, he knew how to maintain proper manners.


    So, he stood up, smiling. "Forgive my ignorance. May I ask who you are?"


    "I''m Dominic Taylor, the executive director of KS Group."


    Dominic added with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Beckett has a closer rtionship with our Taylor


    family. After all, he has quite a rtionship with my eldest niece."


    "Eldest ... niece?" Landon was slightly taken aback.


    "My elder brother''s daughter, Alyssa. Lyse is my niece," Dominic exined with a smile. "She''s a


    cousin to my


    daughter, Renee. The two of them grew up together, so they''re very close."


    Landon was greatly surprised.


    It turned out that Dominic was Winston''s younger brother.


    That was entirely unexpected, and it made Landon look at him with newfound respect.


    Seeing Landon''s expression soften, Renee felt a sense of aplishment.
