Chapter 119

The fight over a necklace between the two influential men in Sólana City, who each owned a

Centurion Card, was the event of a century.

The employee stammered in shock at the sight of the two black cards. "S-Sir, we only have one

necklace left..."

"I know." Jasper looked away from Alyssa. "I am buying it exactly because there's only one." Liana almost jumped for joy as she awaited Jasper to give her the necklace.

Alyssa pursed her lips at Jasper's insistence as bitterness welled up in her heart. He'd get Liana anything she wanted at all costs. When it came to Alyssa, though, he paid no attention to her feelings. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Ignore him. Please charge it to my card and wrap the gift!" Landon arched his brows and rapped his knuckles on the glass display. "First come, first served."

"Landon Harper." Jasper frowned. Landon stared at Jasper's sullen face and lowered his voice," Jasper, you know me. There are not many women I'd like to buy a gift for. Can't you let me have my way this time, considering we've known each other for almost twenty years?"

Alyssa widened her eyes in disbelief at the two men. At the same time, Liana's jaw dropped at the

confrontation.

She looked down at Alice White for getting cozy with the other wealthy men. After all, Alice had only recently left Jasper. What did rich men like Landon see in Alice, the divorcee Jasper had

abandoned?

Jasper caught his breath. This was the first time in his memory that Landon had put their twenty years of friendship on the line for a woman. Not only that, Landon was confronting him over his ex -wife, whom he claimed he didn't care about.

"Thank you, Mr. Harper." Alyssa flashed a bright smile at Landon at that moment. "I'll gladly

accept your necklace gift."

Landon forgot to breathe at the sight of her alluring smile. "You don't have to thank me! What's more important is that you like it.

Jasper's eyes burned with an incendiary anger as his throat tightened. How could she accept the gift from another man in front of her ex-husband?

Landon picked up the necklace and put it on Alyssa's neck attentively. The color drained from Jasper's face. His fists were curled up, but he felt helpless. "Wow, that's gorgeous!" The store employee covered her mouth and exclaimed.

He had been carrying that box around for a few days to give it to Alice if he had the chance. To his dismay, she did not even take a look at it. That was humiliating for him.

He switled the contents of his whiskey on the rocks as he replayed the scene where Landon helped Alice to put on the necklace. She smiled at Landon, and they left the store together. Alice had only reserved that smile for him. But now, she'd smile at any man except for him.

"Alice White, ever since you left me, you've been degrading yourself," he fumed silently.

A heavy breath escaped his mouth. He downed the whiskey, to the bartender's shock. The bartender was worried about the well-being of his customer, who had down the strong liquor like

it was water

Jasper poured himself another whiskey drink. At that moment, someone reached out and held the rim of his glass.

"Jasper, you shouldn't do this. It's bad for your health."

Jasper squinted at Landon and smiled through clenched teeth. "That's still better than having your girl stolen by your friend."

"I stole nothing!" Landon wasn't in high spirits. He sat on the stool next to Landon and ordered himself a drink, "Give me the same thing."

"Landon, you cannot be with Alice White," cautioned Jasper.

"Why not?"

"She's with Jonah Taylor."

To that, Landon lifted a brow and asked in amusement, "Is that the reason, or are you stopping me from courting her because she's your ex-wife?"

Jasper's throat was dry, and his chest felt heavy.

"I don't care if she's with Jonah Taylor, and your feelings about me dating your ex-wife are not my

concern."

Jasper finally lost his cool from the combination of Landon's bold provocation and the effect of the alcohol. He toppled the glass and grabbed Landon by the collar with crazed eyes. "Landon Harper, you'd better not try anything funny with Alice. Over my dead body!"
