Chapter 666
Alyssa, looking skeptical, silently gave Jasper a look. She didn’t understand what he was
up to by
provoking Jameson.
“Just some everyday goods. I ran a typical business,” Jameson responded, adjusting his
glasses. Only the
stiffness of his lips betrayed the anger simmering beneath his facade.
He added, “Mr. Beckett, I must say you’re quite imaginative. I know you hold a grudge
against me, but you
shouldn’t question my character and disregard my hard work because of it.”
Jasper put on an amused expression.

challenges of building a
business from scratch.”
Alyssa took a sip of champagne after hearing Jameson’s biting reply. It stirred some of her
memories.
She was among the few who truly comprehended Jasper’s tough journey to the position of
Beckett
Group’s president. It hadn’t been as straightforward as Jameson assumed.
“I never thought that I would get a lecture just for asking you a question, Mr. Schmidt. It
seems I’ve made
you nervous. Let’s leave the rumors I heard from Kontina as mere hearsay,” Jasper

As Alyssa’s older sister and a woman of high social standing, she had to stifle her laughter.
The trip back
home had certainly been worthwhile!
Jasper, are you done?” Alyssa finally snapped and glared at him, “I’ll kick you out if you
keep spewing
nonsense.”
Jasper held his breath and clenched his fists. He then inched closer to her, touched her

Leaning in, he coaxed her, “Can you at least wait until after dinner to beat me up? My title
might mean nothing to you, but please spare a company president from public
humiliation.”
Miley silently chuckled at the situation. She and Alyssa shared a penchant for
eavesdropping.
“Just stay where you are. I can’t be bothered to beat you up-you’re quite a handful,”
Alyssa scoffed,
turning away from Jasper.
Jasper stared longingly at her rosy lips, feeling tempted. Despite being in his 30s, he still
acted like a love-
struck teenager when faced with her smile and words.
The stage lights dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated the stage as the emcee made an
announcement.
