Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 755

Cornelius lived separately from his sons, just like Newton. He lived in a massive manor slightly smaller than the Seaview Manor, but it was still considered one of the top ten manors in the nation.

The scandal had spread across the family. Even the domestic staff would gossip about Zoe in their pastime.

Furthermore, the silence from Jasper and the Beckett Group created an impression that Zoe was nothing more than a discarded plaything after a night of fun and passion. Her reputation as a Harper lay in ruins.

"Hey, is Ms. Zoe around?" The maids huddled together to gossip.

"She's in Mr. Cornelius' study, crying as if someone died."

"What's the point of crying? She should have behaved better as a Harper—protecting her reputation is a priority. She's now involved with Mr. Beckett and wasn't even fully dressed in the photos. Any distinguished family would care about their reputation. No one would want a woman like her."

"Perhaps Mr. Beckett would want to marry her. They must have had relations after sharing a room for the night. Now that the cat is out of the bag, he will have to take responsibility."

"But he doesn't seem inclined to do so. He hasn't made any statement. He's obviously not eager to take responsibility."

"I think Mr. Landon is a close friend of Mr. Beckett. It's going to be awkward between them now."

"Hush! Mr. Preston is here!"

The maids hurriedly retreated to a corner and greeted Preston respectfully, "Hi, Mr. Preston!"

"Dad, you're so right," Preston chimed in solemnly. "Zoe was my brother's darling daughter and your favorite grandchild. We cannot turn a blind eye after what that Beckett guy has done to her."

"Uncle Preston …" Zoe wailed even louder. In her eyes, Preston had always been nice and smiling to her. When she was young, her dad refused to buy her luxury items and limited her pocket money, causing her to feel humiliated around her peers.

But Preston treated her differently. He'd always give her loads of pocket money and buy her expensive gifts when he visited. He satisfied her vanity, and therefore, she always regarded him fondly.

"Preston, have you heard about the scandal?" Cornelius looked grim.

"Goodness, you know how influential our family is in Solana City. Any scandal involving us will create a storm in the city."
