“What type of outdated mentality was that? A divorced woman is not worthless. I’d even say that marriage is just a burden for rich and powerful women.”
“Absolutely! By the way, didn’t you watch the interview last time?
Jasper Beckett admitted that he had cheated on Alyssa Taylor. So why would she keep a cheater around? She must have dumped him over the affair.”

“He couldn’t possibly skip the event. Let’s wait for a bit more.”
“The four distinguished families will be at the event. Wow, isn’t it going to be a battlefield?” Another excited reporter adjusted his camera position, preparing to capture every explosive interaction. That means Alyssa Taylor and Zoe Harper will both be here. just from
“What will Jasper Beckett do when his ex-wife and rumored lover confront each other? Damn, I have goosebumps all imagining it. So much second-hand embarrassment.”
“Didn’t Jasper Beckett announce in front of the media tha Taylor’s man at that maid’s funeral? Wasn’t that already al confession?”
“Did you take his words seriously? Is he even that trustworthy?”
“Men are liars. He’s probably rebuilding his image after having an affair. How is he going to explain his meetup with Zoe Harper at t hotel late at night?
“If Alyssa Taylor makes the stupid decision to get back together with him after all that had happened, she’d lose my respect.”

“Grandpa, I’ll give you a hand.”
Preston and Zoe supported Cornelius as they showed up in front of the media as a harmonious family.
