Chapter 553: Chapter 553

Jasper fumed as Landon gloated. Green in envy, Jasper scoffed. “What’s so special about that? It’s normal to be invited, given the Harpers’ social standing in Solana City.”

“So, given your family’s social standing in Solana City, did you receive an invitation?”

“Don’t we have anything better to talk about? If not, please leave,” Jasper remarked. He had a short fuse when it came to anything related to Alyssa.

“Look at you! I’m fooling with you,” Landon said. He stopped teasing Jasper, knowing he was upset about not receiving an invitation.

Then, he produced another crumpled invitation card from his back pocket and explained, “Here. This is an invitation from the witch.

“Isn’t it a coincidence that she chooses to throw her birthday party on the same day as Lyla Nelson?

Not only that, she’s hosting it in Solana City. Is she turning this into a competition?”

Jasper’s brows brows furrowed in surprise. “What? Does Sophia share her birthday with Lyla?”

Xavier chimed in, scratching his head in confusion. “If I recall correctly, Madam Sophia’s birthday is this Thursday, not on the weekend. Why would she move her birthday event to the weekend? Is she trying to compete with Lyla?”

“Is there any bad blood between Sophia and Lyla Nelson? Jasper inquired, his senses sharp.

“Um, I’m not too sure. I remember they were signed to the same network as actresses. Lyla always.

snagged the lead roles, leaving Sophia with no option but to take on the villain roles.”

Jasper fell into deep thoughts. He replied, “Got it. Keep an eye on Sophia for the next few days. If she makes any move, let me know right away.”

In Sophia’s room at Seaview Manor, she was busy picking her dress for her birthday party with Betty.

The room was overflowing with luxurious dresses, covering the surface of the clothing rack, the couch, and the bed. The expensive dresses were carelessly laid across surfaces like colorful rags.

“They’re all gaudy! Are these the limited edition dresses for this year? The designers must have been out. of their minds! No one could possibly look good in these outfits!” Betty exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

She flung them onto the floor and even stomped on them.

Xavier nearly burst into laughter, leaving Landon squinting as it took him a moment to catch on Then, Landon yelled angrily, “You little fucker! I’m straight, okay? Even if you want to bed me, I won’t sleep with you. I’ve got better options out there Jasper was left dumbfounded while Xavier struggled to hold back his laughter.

‘That’s enough. I don’t have time for your nonsense. What’s up?” Jasper questioned “Look at this!” He produced an invitation card and waved it in front of Jasper.

“What’s that?”

“I got this invitation card to Lyla Nelson’s birthday party this weekend! Ms. Alyssa’s staff delivered it to me!”
