Chapter 1235 So what if Jasper had saved Alyssa multiple times? His so-called sacrifices couldn't make up for the pain he inflicted on her. "No! No!" Zoe vehemently denied, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "That man has nothing to do with the hotel scandal!" Alyssa merely smiled, opting not to press further, as Zoe unwittingly betrayed the truth through her expression.

She calmly shook her head. "Good. Bring her away,” Landon instructed with a wave of his hand. Zoe's eyes widened in fear. "W-Where to?" "The police station.” Looking crushed, Zoe stumbled backward indignantly. She yelled in a shrill voice, "Landon Harper, you're fooling with me! Didn't you say you'd let this slip if I tell the truth?" "Let this slip? Have I said so? Maybe you're being delusional.” Landon turned away from her with a determination that felt like a farewell. "Zoe Harper, I said I'd teach you a lesson, and no one could stop me—not even Grandpa.” Two bodyguards immediately dragged Zoe out of the venue by her arms. Her limp legs brushed across the ground. Her hair was messy and tousled. She even lost one of her high heels. At that moment, she resembled a prisoner on her way to serving her sentence. "Save me, Grandpa!" However, Cornelius did not intervene, even after Zoe was dragged out. What else could he do after his useless granddaughter had tarnished the reputation he had meticulously built over decades? Defending her in front of the guests would mean giving up on the Harper family's standing. After the earth-shattering incident, the four distinguished families left the event hosted by the Jesseltons, which had concluded before the scheduled time. Without giving Jasper a chance to explain, Winston resolutely locked Alyssa into his car and brought her to Belbanks. On the other hand, Jonah offered his car to Sean and Tatiana for the couple to enjoy some private time on their trip back to Belbanks. Moreover, Jonah knew Tatiana wasn't in a great condition, and only Sean could provide her with comfort. Alone in the parking garage, Jonah watched as the rest of his family departed in their cars. When they were gone, he extracted the crumpled diagnosis from his chest with shaky hands. Unable to hold back tears, he allowed them to fall onto the paper detailing the harsh diagnosis. Once again, he carefully inspected the report, feeling a stabbing pain whenever he read a line. He was soon interrupted by heavy footsteps approaching him. Taking a deep breath, he quickly wiped away his tears and turned around slowly. Not far away stood Jasper, wearing a melancholic expression and dull eyes.
