"And who might that someone be?” Cornelius asked, his brows furrowing with discontent.

"Who else can she be? It's Sophia Kirkman's second daughter, Lauren Beckett,” Zoe grabbed the

chance to tell on Landon.

She casually teased, “Landon hasn't been home lately. He's built a love nest with Ms. Lauren out

there, where they spend most of their time. The last time Mom was sick, I was the one who got her

to the hospital. I guess Landon's put his family behind even before marrying Ms. Lauren.”

"Zoe, can you please stop?” Penelope mumbled, not because shel wanted to protect Lauren. She

worried that Cornelius might be upset. at Landon.

Preston grinned, remarking, “Ms. Lauren must be a stunning beauty. Knowing Landon, he's never

been so serious with any woman. From the sounds of it, Ms. Lauren has won his heart.”

“My grandson falling for Sophia Kirkman’s daughter? Ridi Nostrils blaring, Cornelius tapped his

walking stick on t Why are they living together before marriage? Is that how a lady should behave?

Indeed, an indecent woman like Sophial will never raise her daughter right!”

“Dad, you need not worry too much about Landon. He's a grown and won't let himself be taken

advantage of,” Preston reassured Cornelius with a playful chuckle, much to Penelope's relief.

Meanwhile, a malicious smile played on Zoe's lips. Landon might be head over heels for Lauren and

intend to marry her, but the family would never accept Lauren solely because she was Sophia

Kirkman’s daughter.

At that moment, the reporters gasped. “Jasper Beckett has arrived!”

“It's him! Jasper Beckett's here!”

All attention shifted to Jaspers direction as the shutters clicked away. Hearing that, Zoe perked up

and cast an expectant glance at the other end of the red carpet.

There, she found Jasper clad in a black suit, wearing an aloof expression on his face. His eyes

exuded the same arrogance, and each move exuded an imposing presence.

His cool demeanor had captivated the interest of many females, including Zoe.

Penelope had to tug at her daughter and whispered, “Zoe, let's move. What are you standing here

for?”

"Mom..." Ogling Jasper, Zoe nearly salivated at his handsomeness. “I love Jasper so much. How I

wish I were his woman.”

She had been fortunate enough to embrace Jasper in the dimness of a hotel room that night when

she was undressed. Through his suit, she felt his toned body and went numb at the sensation.

Since that night, she couldn't help but fantasize about how it'd feel to be underneath him as she

pictured them making love. She was driven. crazy by her desire for him.

"You need to pull yourself together or risk becoming a joke. A young lady should behave with

decorum,” Penelope complained.

“Decorum is worth nothing. I would give up anything to be with Jasper Beckett,” Zoe muttered

under her breath as she eyed Jasper..

Penelope failed to hear Zoe's words. With a frown, she questioned, Zoe, what was that? Why were

you talking to yourself?”

“Mom, go ahead without me. I'll wait for Jasper and enter with him.”
