Chapter 290

“Wow!” There was a collective gasp fromthe audience, followed by an even more thunderous applause.

Landon was taken ab ack by the announcement and shot Jasper a worrisome gaze. Jasper stood frozen with a cold expression, as though he’d turn anyone to ice upon touch.

Worse, a spotlight traveled across the audience and hit Jasper like a ruthless mockery. It further highlighted his lifeless face.

“Lia and Jasper are childhoodsweethearts. They’ve been through a lot to finally settle down. The Beckett family is happy at the news, and we’d like to share the joy with everyone here!”

Sophia grasped Liana’s hand tightly. Her face was flushed from excitement, and her tone was animated as if she were at a

wedding.

Liana blushed hard like a new bride. She looked at Jasper affectionately and mistook his stiff expression for nervousness.

…

At the same time, Alyssa was busy making some desserts for Newton and Lauren in the kitchen when Lauren stumbled in with a pale face and waved her hands.”Help! Help, Alyssa!”

“Help Alyssa?” Alyss a was speechless andconfused by Lauren’s words.

“Grandpa … Grandpa fainted! He’s fainted!”Lauren started crying.

“What?”Alyssa’s eyes widened as herheart pounded. She put down the ladle and ran out of the kitchen.

She found Newton lying on the floor in the living room. His bulging eyes stared at the ceiling as his limbs went numb. Along

with seizures, he was foaming from his twitching mouth.

She inhaled sharply after recognizing the symptoms of a cerebral ischemic stroke.

“Was it the good karma from her past?How did she get to marry Jasper Beckett, the popular bachelor? Argh!”

“Ugh… Look at the loose dress on her.Could she be pregnant with his child? Getting pregnant before marriage is pretty common in their circle.”

“Oh, you’re spot on!I felt that the dresswas too loose on her at first sight. That sounds possible!”

“That’s not true love if she’s gettingmarried only because she’s pregnant. It’s

at most her shameless trick to ti e him down.”

“I’d pull a shameless trick as well tomarry Jasper Beckett. She’s really hit the jackpot.”
