At that moment, Sophia received another push notification from Twitter-Jasper and Alyssa had topped


    the trending topics. The discussion showed no signs of cooling down anytime soon.


    Every time Jasper and Alyssa showed up, they would effortlessly capture all media attention and be the


    talk of the town. The duo’s synergy could potentially make them a formidable force if they decided to


    join forces in business.


    Javier did not look at all pleased by the attention. Sophia, staring at the trending topics on Twitter,


    taunted, “How lucky is Winston Taylor to have a daughter like Alyssa? Anywhere she goes, she


    bes the center of attention. Everyone else fades into the background.


    “Jasper did not even bother to cover up his rtionship with her. Javier, let’s take the chance to


    propose a marriage to Winston. Alyssa made us look like bad guys when she concealed her identity to


    marry Jasper. Since we owe Winston one, why don’t we make it up to him?”


    Just then, the Harpers settled into their seats. Penelope, situated just an aisle away from Sophia,


    frowned when she overheard Sophia’s suggestion to Javier.


    Each word from Sophia was sickening. With Sophia in the role of the family matriarch, the Becketts


    ought to consider themselves. fortunate not to witness a decline in their standing.

    The prospect of Zoe marrying Jasper was a headache for Penelope, for it meant dealing, with Sophia


    in the future.


    Having witnessed Jasper growing into a man, Penelope acknowledged that he was a fine young man,


    but she couldn’t overlook theplexities of the Beckett family. Jasper was nothing. more than an


    illegitimate child who happened to be helming the favorite.


    More importantly, he had a half-sibling, Justin, who loomed as a potential sessor. Time was running


    out for Newton to protect Jasper’s position in the family.


    Due to all the reasons above, Penelope wasn’t a fan of Zoe marrying Jasper. On top of that, Jasper


    was a divorcee much older than Zoe, making him a less ideal candidate.


    “Dad, Mom is right,” Betty chimed in. “Look at Jasper and Alyssa, acting all love-dovey. I think Ms.


    Alyssa is interested in remarrying him, and Jasper is more than willing to do so. They’re definitely in


    love. Dad, you should just approve of their rtionship.”


    After years of dealing with Javier, Betty knew her father very well. Speaking up for Jasper and Alyssa


    would only irk Javier.


    Javier repeatedly watched the photos, where Jasper appeared cautious before Alyssa. His anger


    simmered as he dered, “I don’t care. My son will never remarry a woman he ditched-I will not


    approve of the rtionship!


    “Who cares if Alyssa is Winston’s daughter? My son is not a doormat!”


    After Javier vocalized his disapproval, Sophia and Betty exchanged silent, smug nces.


    The Schmidts finally joined the other families in the VIP seat area. Ast the president of Schmidt Group,


    Josh was busy greeting friends and guests in the indoor hall with his wife, rissa Sparks, leaving


    Jameson and Daisy, to escort Victor to his seat,


    Victor merely waved a hand nonchntly at Cornelius, saying, “Hey, Mr. Cornelius! It’s been a while.”


    Although Victor was the family patriarch, he should have initiated a handshake out of courtesy, as he


    was considerably younger than Cornelius.


    Seeing that, Cornelius refused to rise from his seat and replied in an equally dismissive tone, “That’s


    right. It’s been a while.”


    The silent rivalry between the two magnates unfurled from that moment.
