Chapter 150
Upon hearing that, Alyssa was baffled. She tried to give Rose a warning look, but the latter wouldn’t so much as glance at her. In fact, her eyes were nearly burning a hole into Jasper’s pecs.
Alyssa couldn’t help but inwardly cursed at the situation.
“Thank you.” Jasper nodded gratefully. But before he could say much else, Rose continued, “You can stay. But she leaves.” She pointed at
Liana.
Liana was shocked. Her face was flushed. She felt thoroughly humiliated. “Why me? I’m his fiancée!” she cried.
The guests flinched at the distasteful noise, finding her increasingly uncultured.
“Tsk tsk.” Rose shook her head. “I wouldn’t have been able to tell, honestly.”
“You–Liana was so angry that she nearly stomped her foot.
Rose took another sly look at Jasper, this time smirking. “Mr. Beckett can stay because he’s an attractive man. And because he’s dressed well for the occasion.”
She then eyed Liana’s outfit. “You, on the other hand, are a mess. Your colors are a terrible intrusion to this place and everyone else’s color palette. Please leave before I heave my guts up.”
Alyssa cupped her forehead, suddenly recalling something.
This mentee of hers was an incredible and diligent young woman, but when it came to that of the opposite S**, she was always the first to
cave in!
“That’s not very kind of you, Ms. Emerson. We meant no harm, so there’s no need to be hostile,” Jasper said lowly.
“Oh? Mr. Beckett, don’t you think I’m already being courteous enough by asking your fiancée to leave when she humiliated my mentor? I could have sent her off with all her limbs snapped in two.” Liana’s smirk never disappeared as she spoke.
Warmth surged through her heart for a moment. She was glad that she was being looked out for.
“It’s alright, Rose,” Alyssa said gently. She didn’t want the event to be ruined. Besides, Liana seemed to have had a taste of her own medicine already.
