Chapter 1135

Chapter 1135

“That's right, Mr. Beckett. Did you think that you are over the law and can do whatever you like just

because you're the president of Beckett

Group?

"Watch what you say. I might just sue you for defamation!” Preston said as he pointed at Jasper's

face.

Jasper had a callous look on his face, and Preston had absolutely no respect for him at all.

However, Jasper thought he was more like a barking dog putting up a

fierce front.

Landon hugged Lauren close and stroked her shoulder gently. He

rolled his eyes at Preston

As someone from the Harper Group, he was criticizing someone else for being over the law? That

was ridiculous!

“Jasper, did you investigate thoroughly before saying these things?” Sophia, whom Rory brought

back, witnessed this scene.

She chimed in smoothly and condemned Jasper and those siding with him, “Beckett Group and

Harper Group are family friends. You and Landon are also as close as brothers. How could you raise

this sort of suspicion? This will hurt the peace between both families. Wouldn't this make Landon

feel uneasy, too?”

Landon couldn't bear to hear the words from a cunning woman like

Sophia.

He hurriedly clarified, “Mrs. Beckett, I am trying to be prudent here. If needed, I can also turn my

back on my family. Don't you try to sow discord between Jasper and I!"

Sophia and the rest of the Harpers were speechless. Their faces turned glum.

"So, in your eyes, the value of life is way more precious than living in peace and one’s reputation. Is

that right?” Jasper sniggered. His words were as sharp as a knife.

“That's not what I said ...” Sophia coughed.

“It was all because of this man who did something to the horse that Lyse was riding. He caused Lyse

to fall from the running horse, and it

almost cost her her life.’

“Do you think that I shouldn't have said those words? Are you thinking that I shouldn't take this

revenge?”

Jaspers gaze filled with deep hatred, and his eyes were red. His heart was wrenching in pain.

He spoke through clenched teeth, and his voice became increasingly shaky. “It doesn't matter who

did it. I will make him die a horrible death. Don't think that I only care about honor and reputation.

The only one I care about is ..."

He turned his eyes slowly and eventually fixed them on Alyssa. He looked at her lovingly and

continued, “... is only her.”

In an instant, Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears. She stared at him in

a daze.

At this moment, she felt as if even her heart had been drowned by the wave of emotions that just

overcame her.

“Fuck! He's freaking cool!” Landon exclaimed quietly. He was in awe and envious of Jasper all at

once.

“Well ... Jasper really loves Alyssa,” Lauren commented with a sigh of relief. She rested her head on

Landon.

She was aware of Sophia's hatred for Alyssa. She was still quite worried at first. But, with Jasper

around, she knew that Alyssa

wouldn't be bullied.

“I love you very much too, darling,” Landon said as he gave her a warm kiss on her cheek.

“I know. You tell me that every day. You sound like a broken record,” answered Lauren in her sweet

voice with a hint of annoyance.

Landon’s eyes beamed with sincerity. In a deeply affectionate tone, he said, “Believe me, Lauren. I

will be like Jasper. Even if the sky falls, I will never leave you. I will always watch over you, by your

side.”

Lauren didn't reply. She simply lowered her eyes and covered her

mouth with her hand.

Rather than being watched over like a flower in an arboretum, she wished that she could be of help

to him. Even if there was nothing she could do as the dull person that she was, she did not want to

create trouble for the one she loved most.

While some of them felt pleased, some others felt their heart sink.

Jasper's behavior was decisive and merciless. Everyone there knew the kind of person he was. None

of them could stop him.

The hatred in Zoe made her blood rush to her eyes. She let out a little dry cough as she was about

to blow her top.

Alyssa obtained all that she dreamt of having. As for her, even after exhausting all means, she had

only pushed Jasper farther away from her!

“Mr. Beckett, you're insisting that Max was the one who did it. Do you have any evidence?”

Cornelius questioned in a frigid tone.

Jasper wasn't in a rush to answer him. He smirked coldly.

Max rolled his eyes. He reckoned that Jasper didn't have any concrete proof. He figured that Jasper

was just questioning him either because of hearsay or news that someone else had said.

Thus, he clenched his teeth and sneered. “I didn’t do anything! I only went to the stables to check

on Harper Group's horses! I didn't come into contact with the Taylor family’s horse!

“Mr. Beckett caught me for no good reason. He even allowed his men to treat me roughly! What are

your real intentions toward the Harper Group? Or were you trying to use cheap means as such to

avenge your personal vendetta?”
