Chapter 1087


    “And who might that someone be?” Cornelius asked, his brows furrowing with discontent.


    “Who else can she be? It’s Sophia Kirkman’s second daughter, Lauren Beckett,” Zoe grabbed the


    chance to tell on Landon.


    She casually teased, “Landon hasn’t been hometely. He’s built a love nest with Ms. Lauren out there,


    where they spend most of their time. Thest time Mom was sick, I was the one who got her to the


    hospital. I guess Landon’s put his family behind even before marrying Ms. Lauren.”

    “Zoe, can you please stop?” Penelope mumbled, not because shel wanted to protect Lauren. She


    worried that Cornelius might be upset. at Landon.


    Preston grinned, remarking, “Ms. Lauren must be a stunning beauty. Knowing Landon, he’s never been


    so serious with any woman. From the sounds of it, Ms. Lauren has won his heart.”


    “My grandson falling for Sophia Kirkman’s daughter? Ridi Nostrils ring, Cornelius tapped his walking


    stick on t Why are they living together before marriage? Is that how ady should behave? Indeed, an


    indecent woman like Sophial will never raise her daughter right!”


    “Dad, you need not worry too much about Landon. He’s a grown and won’t let himself be taken


    advantage of,” Preston reassured Cornelius with a yful chuckle, much to Penelope’s relief.


    Meanwhile, a malicious smile yed on Zoe’s lips. Landon might be head over heels for Lauren and


    intend to marry her, but the family would never ept Lauren solely because she was Sophia


    Kirkman’s daughter.


    At that moment, the reporters gasped. “Jasper Beckett has arrived!”


    “It’s him! Jasper Beckett’s here!”


    All attention shifted to Jasper’s direction as the shutters clicked away. Hearing that, Zoe perked up and


    cast an expectant nce at the other end of the red carpet.


    There, she found Jasper d in a ck suit, wearing an aloof expression on his face. His eyes exuded


    the same arrogance, and each move exuded an imposing presence.


    His cool demeanor had captivated the interest of many females, including Zoe.


    Penelope had to tug at her daughter and whispered, “Zoe, let’s move. What are you standing here for?”


    “Mom…” Ogling Jasper, Zoe nearly salivated at his handsomeness. “I love Jasper so much. How I wish


    I were his woman.”


    She had been fortunate enough to embrace Jasper in the dimness of a hotel room that night when she


    was undressed. Through his suit, she felt his toned body and went numb at the sensation.


    Since that night, she couldn’t help but fantasize about how it’d feel to be underneath him as she


    pictured them making love. She was driven. crazy by her desire for him.


    “You need to pull yourself together or risk bing a joke. A youngdy should behave with


    decorum,” Penelopeined.


    “Decorum is worth nothing. I would give up anything to be with Jasper Beckett,” Zoe muttered under


    her breath as she eyed Jasper..


    Penelope failed to hear Zoe’s words. With a frown, she questioned, Zoe, what was that? Why were you


    talking to yourself?”


    “Mom, go ahead without me. I’ll wait for Jasper and enter with him.”
