Alyssa and her dance partner held hands and bowed to the audience when the dance ended. Her captivating dance elevated the cocktail party into a high-end ball.Liana was green with envy when she heard everyone praising Alice. In her teens, she was once a talented pianist who was good at singing and dancing too. For that, she had won many awards.However, after going abroad, she busied herself with dating and having fun to the point where she abandoned her practice."Jasper, wasn't Ms. White awesome? But I don't think it's appropriate for her to dance in public in that revealing dress. I would have been too ashamed to do that …"Her attempts at backstabbing Alyssa were of no use because Jasper was nowhere to be found when she turned around.…Jasper shuffled to the backstage corridor. Despite his best efforts at self-control, he could not shut down the imagery of Alice's allure in his mind. His throat was getting dry.He forced himself not to think of his behavior as falling fo

Even Jasper was surprised by his own baseless accusation. He had formed a negative preconception against her even when he lacked evidence. Somehow, he hoped that Alice had deliberately played a role in the incident because that would prove his importance to her."Jasper, you think too highly of yourself." Her heart ached as she forced a smile. "To be honest, I have never considered taking revenge against you. "I don't care if you marry Liana. I won't even bat an eye if you marry four wives like Winston Taylor of Belbanks. Spiting you is not worth it at all."Pain shot through his heart. He felt as though something had hit him hard. "Alice, you …""Rose has a waitlist until the end of next year. She is a principled woman. Even the first lady would have to join the line if she wanted Rose's service.""Rose might have wanted to spite Lia for my sake, but I am not that petty to use a friend to get back at Lia. If I wanted to spite Lia, I would have slapped her right away instead of

Liana started, "I—""You shouldn't pick a fight. Alice did not give you a hard time today, did she?" Jasper cast a wintry look at Liana's pale face. He continued, "You should put your grudges behind you since she and I are divorced. I will finalize the divorce after Grandpa's birthday. From then on, she and I will have nothing to do with each other. I hope you act sensibly. That's the only thing I ask of you."After that, he did not speak to Liana until their Maybach arrived at Seaview Manor. She endured the silent treatment from her fiancé while silently cursing out Alice."I'll go get changed upstairs." He left her with a glum look. Liana gritted her teeth, thinking that she hadn't done anything wrong. It was Alice who had robbed her of the marriage and claimed Jasper for three years. A couple of taunts were nothing. Even if she were to kill Alice, that wouldn't be enough to quell her resentment.Why would Jasper side with Alice? Why?…Half an hour later, Jasper descended

Jasper sat on the couch in the study, gently massaging his temples. He rested his elbows on his knees and leaned forward. Shoulders trembling, he appeared to be in great pain.His head started aching on the way home, and his condition was exacerbated after listening to the three women badmouthing Alice.A princess who was a pauper … It was not their place to badmouth Alice."Mr. Jasper, is your headache acting up again? I'll get the medications!" Mrs. Rosie found the pain relief pills in a drawer and brought him a glass of water. After taking the pills, he seemed more at ease as the pain reduced."You can't rely on pills all the time! I remember that your condition improved after Madam Alice performed some acupuncture on you. Shall we get her to check on you?" Mrs. Rosie suggested."Mrs. Rosie." He choked on tears. "H-Have they been putting down Alice all along? They said that Alice made their meals for three years. Is that true?""Yeah, Mr. Jasper. I told you Madam Alice was a h

"I stole the Antique Rosewood Chair from your dad for you!" Colene sounded as happy as a child."Sorry for the trouble! I'll have to thank you when we meet again." Alyssa rubbed her hands excitedly."It's not a problem as long as it makes you happy!""What will you do if Winston learns about it?" Alyssa was worried for Colene. However, Colene was cool about it. "I'm childless, so I have nothing to fear. If anything bad happens to me, just take care of my funeral!"Alyssa was left speechless at her quirky stepmom.…Night fell. After a busy day, Sean drove Alyssa back to the villa. She kicked off her heels and changed into a pair of soft, red velvety slippers. Stretching, she decided to enjoy a bubble bath."Ms. Alyssa, I'll get the bath ready." Sean quickly rolled his sleeves."It's fine. I can do it. Can you throw together a simple dinner? " She gave him a tired smile."Sure. What would you like?" "A blue cheese chicken sandwich."Sean hated the smell of blue cheese, but

When the door opened, Landon slid into the living room speedily, worried that Alyssa might change her mind. "Gosh, it's so hard to visit you. The entrance fee is pretty exorbitant."Under the lights, Alyssa's curves were accentuated by the tight robe on her body. Her tiny waist and buttery skin were luscious. He swallowed hard upon casting his eyes on her."Mr. Harper, your eyes are wandering elsewhere," Sean reminded him with much hostility."It's human nature to love beauty. I'm looking at her with the sole intention of admiring an artwork," he grinned and talked his way out of it shamelessly. It was the first time Sean had come across a man who'd reframe his inappropriate behavior into something noble."Is LAN's sculpture in this box?" She stared keenly at the box in his arms."Yes. I bought two sculptures from her—one for Jasper's grandpa and the other for you." His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Alice, LAN's artworks are handmade. She'll only put ten items on sale every ye

Alyssa said, "Let's do another one.""But you promised to do me a favor!" Landon frowned like a little brat."I really can't agree to that." Alyssa put on a serious face. "I promised Grandpa to show up as his daughter-in-law for the birthday. I will have nothing to do with the Beckett Family after that. "I'm afraid I'll only upset him if I show up to his birthday with a male partner. It's my wish to grant him a memorable 80th birthday. I don't have much time with him, anyway …"A tinge of wistfulness crept into her eyes."Alice, you're a lovely woman. Jasper lost out on you because he's blind!" Landon sighed. Upon second thought, he wouldn't have had a chance with Alice had it not been for Jasper's mistake. Jasper's loss was Landon's gain—a chance at love and happiness!"That's why I wanted us to do another one." She caressed the sculpture with much affection."How about you call me by my name? 'Mr. Harper' sounds too formal." He blinked earnestly."Is that it? My favors don

Twenty minutes later, Jasper showed up in front of Alyssa's villa. He rolled down the windows and stared at the warm lights from the windows, frustrated at the thought of Landon and Alice alone.Frowning, he clutched his phone in his sweaty palm. The screen showed the photo of Alice in a sexy, silky nightdress that showed off her lovely curves.She had only worn loose cotton pajamas in the past, which made her look pregnant. After the divorce, she had let loose of herself and turned into a siren who captivated men everywhere!His firm chest rose and fell. Looking at the photo, he tugged on the perfect knot on his tie. He felt a rush of temptation. …On the other hand, Landon stared at Alyssa with a long face while she chomped on the blue cheese chicken sandwich. He grew up in a very sheltered environment, where his mom doted on him and catered to his fussy tastebuds. He would never eat something like blue cheese."Aren't you eating? It won't be nice when it gets cold," she wonde
