Chapter 467

Zoe retorted, "You can be an incel all your want, but Alyssa Taylor will never have eyes for you! You'll

only

end up with nothing!”

"Zoe Harper!” Landon roared at his sister, making her flinch, frightened. “Even if she doesn’t marry

me, that still does not give you an excuse to harm, humiliate, or defame her!

“She is a well-educated, respectable, and honest woman. Even though she’s quick and lethal at

times, she

would never be the first to intentionally harm another person.

“I, like you said, she tried to harm you, then you must've caused her trouble first!” 2

Zoe was so angry she might pass out.

“Need I also remind you to give up on Jasper as soon as possible? The one woman he’s interested in

is Alyssa herself. Any person can see that fact clear as day except himself,” Landon sneered.

Even the way Landon mocked his friend was restrained!

“You are coming with me to apologize to Alyssa tomorrow morning, in person,” Landon snapped,

then

turned to leave.

“Are you out of your mind, Landon? Why do I need to apologize to Alyssa? I won't do it!” Zoe

screamed.

“If you refuse, I'm sending you back to Yoarkley, where you'll never set foot back in this city ever

again!”

Penelope was frightened by her son's determined, harsh order.

When had Landon ever spoken to Zoe like this in all her life?

Was this all because of Jasper Beckett's ex-wife, Alyssa Taylor?

“Landon ... Landon, come back!” Zoe screamed, her voice breaking in the process. Tears clouded her

eyes

as she watched her brother leave.

But Landon, who had loved and doted on her since she was a baby, never once looked back.

It was past midnight. Landon sipped on his drink in ACE, his heart twinging whenever he

remembered

what Zoe had yelled at him. He felt like hitting something right now.

The door opened.

"Damn it! Get the girls out of here!” Landon cried instinctively. “I don’t need the fucking company

right

1/2

He tossed the glass in the direction of the door, making it shatter on the ground.

“Mr. Harper, Mr. Jasper is here to see you,” said Angelina as she nodded respectfully.

Then, she shot Jasper an embarrassed look. She stepped aside, her figure swaying sensually in the

dim

light.

"I apologize on behalf of my boss, sir. He's feeling under the weather tonight.”

“It's fine. I'm used to it.” Jasper was the perfect picture of indifference right now.

“Please enjoy yourself.”

Angelina then shut the door behind them, leaving the two men to their privacy.

"What bad luck got you this time?” Jasper quipped, sitting down beside Landon. “Didn't you give up

on

Alyssa already? What's all this again?”

“Fuck! Can you drop the fact that Alyssa dumped me for once, you asshole?” Landon scoffed,

drinking

straight from the bottle.

"Hmph. Dumped you? You didn't even come close.”

Jasper took out a cigarette and held it between his lips.

He continued, “She never accepted you in the first place, so no “dumping’ was involved. All you are

is an

unwanted spare tire.”

“Fuck you, man. If I'm a spare tire, then you're a damned flat one! Not even a Ferrari could run if

they

swapped you on it!"

Before Landon finished his sentence, he recalled how Zoe had called Alyssa a “used ragdoll”. His

heart plunged into icy water as he winced before throwing the bottle across the room.

If any other woman had said that, Landon would have slapped her without hesitation.
