It was as if any woman whom Zeke initiated a pursuit of should be grateful to him.
"Lyse ..." Tatiana held Alyssa''s hand worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Alyssa''s gaze remained calm.
With a cold expression, Alyssa coldly responded, "Mr. Zeke, I am a divorced woman. The entire Sna
City probably knows about this. Please don''t tell me that you were not aware?"
It was obvious that the Jesseltons were flustered. They turned to look at each other.
The people around them gave a sidelong nce at Jasper.
He had pursed his lips into a line and was looking deeply at Alyssa. Without any hesitation, he was
prepared to walk in front of her to shield her from any gossip and hurtful words.
Cornelius stood beside Javier. He clicked his tongue and shook his head in disdain.
"This Alyssa Taylor is too smart for her own good. How could she be so frivolous? Is being a divorcee
something to be proud of? I can''t believe she boasted about it at such an important event.
"It''s up to her if she wants to be shameless, but how could she drag Jasper into it, too? Mr. Javier, this
woman is disrespecting the Beckett Group. She''s trampling on you."
Javier''s face tightened as a cloud of gloominess gradually settled over him.
"To other women, being divorced may be a shameful thing. But for Ms. Alyssa, it might be something
she can take pride in."
Zoe had her arm linked around Cornelius'' arm.
She mocked coldly, "Mr. Zeke showed interest in pursuing her. By uttering such words in public, not
only can she secretly make the Becketts feel awful, but she can also prove to the people that she is
attractive. She can also annoy Jasper. So, why not?"
Javier''s expression had already turned extremely dark. He looked as cold as ice!
"There are plenty more fish in the sea. Based on your worth, Mr. Zeke, I''m sure you can easily find an
exceptional woman who is a good match for you. It is obvious that I fall short. I do not deserve such
favor."
Alyssa smiled at him casually and rejected him with tact.
As much as she was being tactful, it was still a rejection! A strong wave of agitation rose from within
Zeke. Hispetitiveness was awakened.
As someone who had a virginplex, he was quite revolted when he first heard that Alyssa was
divorced. However, what he hated even more was this feeling of rejection!
With that, Zeke took a step forward, gazing at Alyssa with tenderness, as if he were about to marry her.
"Ms. Taylor, I don''t mind if you have been married before. I like you as a person. Your experiences and
magnanimity make me feel even more strongly that this is your unique charm. This is what''s attracting
me to you so much.
"Your ex-husband didn''t cherish you properly. But in my eyes, you are a star shining brightly in the
night. You are a dazzling pearl lost in the sea. I will definitely cherish and protect you. Please give me a
chance to pursue you!"
Landon held onto Jasper and gagged. "I can''t watch this show that this foreigner is putting on! You can

say that he is being passionate, though in reality, he is just being outrageously shameless!"
"It''s all my fault."
Deep down, the bitterness in Jasper''s heart churned.
He held his trembling fingers and continued, "If I had yed my part as Lyse''s husband properly in the
first ce, and if I hadn''t been so dumb, so silly ... all these wouldn''t have happened. Everything is my
fault."
The crowd gaped in shock. Even Ezzo was stunned!
His son was a prideful man. Over all these years, this was the first time he had humbled himself to win
a woman''s favor!
He wondered if Alyssa was an extraordinarily beautiful woman who would bring about cmity.
Alyssa hadn''t expected Zeke to persist. Her attractive face became frosty. She was about tosh out at
Zeke when suddenly, she felt someone''s hand on her shoulder.
Winston had stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder. He smiled at the Jesseltons and said,
"I''m sorry to the both of you. My daughter is already taken. She is engaged."
