Chapter 865

Jasper fixed a resentful gaze on Renee, sending a shiver down her spine. Trembling, she held her breath

and cautiously explained, “Mr. Beckett, I didn't mean to do anything to you. I was worried about your

health.”

He pressed his hands on the arms of the chair to prop himself up. When he stood up, he instantly felt the

world spinning around him. The burning desire had grown inside him and spread through every cell.

Breathing heavily, he sweated all over. Renee couldn't help but swoon at his frail yet sexy look. Holding onto the wall, Jasper made his way out of the main hall with much difficulty. Renee wasn't about

to give up and doggedly pursued him.

Tonight was her chance, and she wouldn't let it slip away. If she successfully spent the night with Jasper,

not even Alyssa or Zoe could stop her from marrying him.

Standing in the empty corridor, she felt emboldened and threw herself at Jasper, which only validated

Preston's description of her-shameless.

“Mr. Beckett, you can't even stand straight. I'll help you get back to your room. Is that okay?”

"Get lost! I told you not to touch me. Don't you understand?” Jasper shoved her away with all his might as

his eyes burned in anger.

His disdain was as clear as day. It was as if Renee was sick and infectious.

Feeling anxious and furious, she gritted her teeth and tried to hold Jasper back.

They were interrupted by a stern voice. “Hey! What are you doing?”

Renee turned pale, releasing Jasper as Landon marched angrily toward them.

Landon seized Jasper's shoulder, pulling him away from Renee. He confronted her, “Ms. Renee, what do

you plan to do?”

“I ... 1..." Renee struggled to remain composed but recoiled under Landon’s intimidation. Feeling on the

verge of losing control, she explained, “Mr. Beckett had too much to drink. He seems to be in a bad mood. I just wanted to help him back to his room.”

“Too much to drink? I know his tolerance better than anyone else. He was sober before, but he looked

drunk after drinking with you. Something's wrong,” Landon remarked while casting a skeptical look at!

Feeling guilty, she retorted, “Mr. Landon, what do you mean? I am a Taylor. My father holds a high “It's hard to tell. Jasper is a fine man, and I've seen lots of women throwing themselves at him over the

years. Some of them came from better families than yours,” Landon remarked without fear.

He could say anything when he was riled up, and he was not going to go easy on Alyssa’s cousin. “Jasper, how do you feel?” Landon inquired as he checked on Jasper.

"Go. Let's go,” Jasper mumbled in a daze.

"Sure. We'll leave now!” Landon held Jasper and hurried away.

While walking, he grumbled, “Look at you! How would you survive without me? You can live without

women, but you'll be done for without Landon Harper by your side!”

“W-Wait!" Renee called out to them.

Landon halted and shot her a murderous glare. He warned, “Ms. Renee, I hope you won't pull any tricks on

Jasper. You will never win his heart.”

“Why-"

“He has set his eyes on someone else. You are no match for her,” Landon said with a chuckle, refusing to

elaborate further.
