Alyssa hummed a tune and headed for the event hall, knowing that Brie was done for good. That put her in a great mood.Given her understanding of Josh—no, her understanding of men in general—their egos often got the better of them. Now that Brie had disgraced Josh, she had landed herself in hot water.Alyssa believed Brie deserved everything that had happened for bullying Tatiana."Lyse." Suddenly, she heard a low and affectionate voice calling out from behind. Her heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists. No other man could make her flustered except for Jasper, the man whom she loved and suffered for.She inhaled deeply and calmed herself before turning around coldly. He stood a few steps away with an exquisite gift box in his hand. He marched up to her with a regal air about him."I'm here," he said to her tenderly. Alyssa replied flatly, "Okay."He pursed his lips and looked apologetic. "I'm sorry. I wanted to come early and lend you a hand, but I still … got late.

"Miley," Jasper calmly greeted her, abruptly inserting himself into their conversation.Miley was taken aback as she sized up the handsome man before her. Her expression wavered, and she exclaimed, "Are you Mr. Beckett, the president of Beckett Group?""It's just Jasper. We can keep it casual," Jasper introduced himself and politely extended his right hand for a handshake. His stunning eyes radiated warmth and joy.He appeared to be a gracious and honest man, quite unlike the rumors that painted him as ruthless and deceptive.Miley was about to shake hands with Jasper out of courtesy when Alyssa held her back. Alyssa glowered at Jasper and warned him, "You'd better not think of currying favor with my sister and earning brownie points. I can see through your plan."He flashed a bitter smile and awkwardly retracted his hand.Miley was confused by Alyssa's brash attitude. She had no idea that Alyssa and Jasper were once married for three years.Looking flustered, Alyssa pressed h

Meanwhile, Rose was waiting at the red light at an intersection not far away from KS World Hotel. She was taking a call with her Bluetooth earpiece in her pink Ferrari.She barked, "Send me the blueprint for the Bastian Fashion Week walkway! If the person in charge on their end gives us trouble again, tell them that Rose Emerson will never work with them!"Not only that, but I'll also make things difficult for them if they ever plan to host a fashion show at Solana City."When the light turned green, Rose stepped hard on the accelerator out of anger. The Ferrari dashed across the road like a streak of pink lightning.At the same time, a sleek black Mercedes-Benz E-Class approached from the opposite direction. One of the vehicles attempted a left turn, while the other tried to make a right turn at high speed."Oh, crap!" Rose cussed. She had been so distracted with her call that she hadn't noticed the black Mercedes-Benz. As they hurtled toward each other, she slammed the brakes

The birthday party was about to start. Alyssa smiled. She felt glad to see Winston and Newton engaged in an animated conversation at the front."Oh, is this real? That's Newton Beckett!" a guest exclaimed."Hey, you're right! He looks great for his age.""Newton is quite close to Mr. Taylor. It's uncommon to see such good friendships these days. One might mistake Mr. Taylor for Mr. Beckett's son!""I heard that Javier Beckett's wife is hosting her birthday celebration at Berenike Hotel tonight. It's quite intriguing to see Mr. Beckett attending Lyla Nelson's birthday party instead of attending his own family event."The guests shared hushed chuckles and snorts."Mr. Beckett obviously doesn't approve of his daughter-in-law, Sophia Kirkman. She's been embroiled in bribery and counterfeit scandals for the past six months. Besides, her niece cheated on Jasper Beckett. Of course Mr. Beckett dislikes Sophia.""I think Jasper Beckett and Alyssa Taylor would make a great couple. I read

"Gosh, are you hurt anywhere? Why didn't you call me? I could have taken you to the hospital!" Alyssa exclaimed, gripping Rose's shoulders nervously."I'm fine. I just have some neck pain," Rose replied, moved by Alyssa's concern."You should get it checked. There might be internal injuries that could cause more pain later," Alyssa suggested.Jasper suddenly chimed in, "I'll get that arranged after the birthday party. I can get a physician to check on you at any time."Rose was taken aback by his thoughtfulness.Alyssa held Rose again, appearing irritated as she said, "That's not necessary. I'm a surgeon myself, and I can take care of my mentee. I appreciate your offer, Mr. Beckett."He smiled wryly. She had dismissed his offer once more."After that idiot crashed into my pink Ferrari, he didn't even apologize and had the audacity to confront me with an attitude. He tossed me a card to 'buy a new car' and walked away!" Rose complained, her anger resurfacing. "Do you think he w
