Betty couldn't fathom Zoe's audacity in proudly announcing her engagement. It seemed like sheer madness.As the Beckett Group president, Jasper was so powerful that Javier had no control over him. What could the Harpers do about Jasper?However, she chose not to confront Zoe directly, choosing instead to observe as Zoe unwittingly made a mockery of herself and turned the Harper family into the laughingstock of Solana City. "Whatever. I don't mind as long as you're happy. I wish you and Jasper a happy marriage," Betty said to Zoe reluctantly."By the way, do you remember Mayor Hodgson's son? He was interested in you, but you weren't into him, so the blind date didn't work out," Zoe suddenly changed the topic.Mayor Hodgson's son? Betty recalled the guy, Freddy Hodgson. Sophia had brought Betty to meet with Mayor Hodgson and his wife at a golf course earlier. It was a blind date masked as a meeting, as Sophia intended to get Betty acquainted with Freddy.In the end, the mayor and

Jameson halted in his tracks and squinted when he heard the icy voice from behind. Yawning, he turned around and questioned, "Josh, what's the matter? It's late, and I'd like to rest.""Jimmy, you put on a good show. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" Josh commented as he took a few steps closer, examining Jameson with a sharp gaze."Huh?" Jameson tilted his head, feigning ignorance.Cutting to the chase, Josh accused, "You set up David's car accident, didn't you?"Jameson still acted like he was confused. "What?"Seeing through Jameson's act, Josh continued, "You sent your men to screw up David's car, but you didn't want him dead, just crippled. "Then, you offered a solution to Dad by introducing Ms. Alyssa to him, which earned you cookie points. You proved yourself capable of sharing his worries. Bravo, Jimmy! That was some slick move."Jameson adjusted his glasses and lifted his chin. He erupted into a series of laughter that echoed in the corridor, sending goosebum

David remained in a coma. In reality, he was awake, but the doctor had opted to keep him sedated to shield him from potential emotional distress.An hour elapsed, and Alyssa emerged from the room, flanked by the hospital director and two medical professors. She wore a somber expression.Victor hurried over and inquired, "Lyse, how's David?"The other family members, the secretaries, and the bodyguards surrounded the medical team as well.Frowning, Alyssa hesitated before delivering the grim news, "Uncle Victor, the situation is not optimistic. David has a severe fracture that's challenging to mend. The chances of successful healing are close to none, and there's only a 20 percent probability of him ever walking again."The Schmidt family seemed devastated by the revelation. If not for Josh and Daisy supporting Victor, he might have collapsed.Only Jameson leaned against a corner of the wall out of everyone's vision and grinned."Ms. Alyssa, please save my brother's legs, even if

The air in the spacious corridor hung heavy.Jasper was stung by the sight of Alyssa leaning weakly in Jameson's arms. Tears welled up in his eyes. Jasper thought that Alyssa's relationship with Jameson developed speedily during his absence. Feeling bitter, he stared at his feet and tightened his grip on Newton's wheelchair handle.Jameson did not flinch at Newton and Jasper's presence. He addressed Alyssa with affection and concern, "Lyse, you've just completed a difficult surgery. You're exhausted and need rest. I'll send you home."Alyssa, however, brushed aside his concern and approached Newton with a worried expression. Kneeling, she gently held Newton's wrinkled hand. "Grandpa, why are you at the hospital? Do you feel unwell?"Jasper pursed his lips after he was ignored by Alyssa. She seemed only to have eyes for Jameson."I'm fine. It's just a heart issue. It flared up, so Jasper insisted on sending me to the hospital at night," Newton explained while looking at Alyssa lo

Newton added, "Tomorrow, I'll get this little punk to make all three meals for you. He'll prepare a bath for you tonight. Ben is on leave for the next two days, so Jasper will take over all the housework."Jasper pressed his lips as his brows twitched in surprise. Managing household tasks was one thing, but entrusting him with cooking? Was Newton being a bit too callous about his health and safety?"Grandpa, I …" Alyssa began, her voice trailing off in hesitation.Just as she was trying to come up with a way to excuse herself, Jameson approached them calmly and flashed a warm and gentlemanly smile at Newton. Jameson said, "Mr. Beckett Senior, I'm afraid Lyse won't be joining you tonight.""Why?" Newton asked, his brow furrowed.Jameson sighed deeply, casting a sympathetic glance at Alyssa's fatigued expression. "Lyse has just performed a ten-hour surgery on my brother, David. She's utterly exhausted, almost fainting after completing the surgery.""What?" Newton leaned forward i
