    “Dad, L, Jonah, time’s running out. I’ll go change.” With that, Alyssa coolly waved at her family and


    left the seat with Neil.


    “Lyse, be careful!” L called out to her worriedly.


    Alyssa turned around and briefly gestured “okay” at her.


    “Fine. Since she can’t sit still even for a minute, she can join the race,” Winston grumbled.


    He was worried for Alyssa but refused to openly disy his emotions. At the same time, Jasper’s


    passionate gaze followed Alyssa until she vanished from sight.


    “Surprised, aren’t you? You probably didn’t know Lyse is good at horse. riding.” Jameson approached


    him with a smile, causing him to frown.


    The two good-looking stood side-by-side like something out of a painting. One wouldn’t have known


    that they were archenemies.


    “Lyse is God’s gift to me,” Jasper dered. “Since she’s a gift, she always has surprises in store for


    me.”


    “Pfft. Quit it. Just admit that you don’t know her well enough. Why would you cover it up and protect


    your ego by wording it nicely?”


    Jasper’s chest tightened as he rolled his fist.

    Jonah on Shend Ind?”


    “Jasper Beckett, do not provoke me.” Despite smiling, Jameson reeked of danger. “I’ll make you burn in


    hell.


    Jasper carried an imposing air as he snickered. “I’d like to see what would happen if I provoked a beast


    like you. I look forward to knowing.


    Zoe swigged three sses of champagne, but that did not help with her anger. Standing alone in the


    corridor outside the lounge, she started smoking when no one was around. From the way she smoked,


    one could tell she was a long-term smoker.


    “Aw, look at what Alyssa has done to our poor Zoe. She’s bullied your into smoking and drinking away


    the sadness!” Cackling, Betty approached Zoe, lifting her bulky dress while walking.

    “I’ll never get bullied by Alyssa. I just can’t be bothered,” Zoe replied. with a squint as she furiously took


    a drag.


    Betty was already tired of Zoe’s self-aggrandizing manner and didn’t. bother to counter. Instead, she


    got a cigarette from Zoe and started smoking.


    Zoe seethed with greed, “No matter what game that bitch is ying, Jasper is mine and mine only. I will


    be the one and only Mrs. Beckett!”
