Chapter 203
Alter the birthday event, Newton called his family doctor to check on Lauren out of worry. He fell relleved when the doctor reported that everything was line with her.
In the comidor, two good–looking men leaned against the window sill. Jasper asked Landon for a cigarette, which he lit and took a long drag the orange lame is kered between the willowing smoke,
50 is Alice Alyssa Taylor, the unknown daughter of one of Winston Taylor’s wives?” Landon felt that he was in a dream. The entire
was rather inconceivable.
“Yeah Jasper’s fingers trembled when he flicked the ash.
Tucki Jasper, you hit the jackpot. How did you land this windfall? Landon patted Jasper’s shoulder as his eyes sparkled. “You turned out to be Winston Taylor’s ex–son–in–law by accident.
“Would you have taken off to greater heights if you didn’t divorce her? With the backing of the Taylor Family, your dad and your evil stepmother would have to submit to you. You could do anything with the Beckett Group.”
“The Beckett Group is firmly in my grasp even without Alyssa Taylor’s help.” Jasper puffed a ring of smoke and scored Landon. “Do I look like a kept man to you?”
“Of course not. You were not born to be a kept man. You’re a workaholic.”
Jasper was dumbfounded upon hearing that.
“It’s just a pity that you missed the good opportunity. You could have reached your goals earlier with the help of the Taylors!” Landon lamented.
Filled with empty regrets, Jasper snuffed out his cigarette. However, his motivation was different from how Landon perceived it.
“I cannot wrap my head around her decision to marry me.”
“Same here. She could have done better marrying me than getting together with a bad–tempered, unromantic man who was in love with another woman.” Landon did not hold back his insults.
“Landon, did you really believe Winston would have approved of you? Did you think you were a good match for Alyssa?” Jasper looked hard at Landon, fighting against his urge to grab his friend by the neck.
Landon was rather amused. He added, “Oh, right. Do you remember how you gave her trouble when you saw her getting along with Jonah? You must have regretted saying those mean things to her!”
s an outsider, Landon was clear–eyed about Jasper’s relationship and was busy dissecting Jasper’s flaws.
andon gave Jasper a squeeze on the shoulder with a confident smile. “Bro, I learned a lesson from your mistake. I won’t go down the ame path, Be it Alice White or Alyssa Taylor, I’ll win her heart. Wish me luck!”
