Chapter 1089
Jasper, who had given Zoe icy stares just moments ago, immediately warmed up at the sight of Alyssa.
Zoe had known Jasper for years. He treated her kindly when they were younger but always devoid of passion. His reaction to
Alyssa proved that Alyssa was special to him.
Green with envy, Zoe watched as Jasper approached the lady of his dreams and the love of his life.
Naturally, Alyssa noticed Jasper walking toward her. His towering height made him hard to overlook, drawing attention along the
way.
Jonah whispered into her ear, “Lyse, he’s coming.” Usually stern, he seemed to be teasing her at that moment.
“Why pay him any attention? Just pretend he’s not there.” Alyssa pouted, though her heart raced. “I’ve made him promise not to

Filthy liar? Jonah had to stifle a laugh. It appeared the coupl preferred expressing their affection through banter.
Meanwhile, Winston and Lyla stepped foot on the red carpet, a arm, under the astonished gaze of the public.
Lyla was dressed in a similar cornflower blue outfit that Alyssa ha arranged for her. The outfit, a prim and proper power suit, was
tailored to Lyla’s fit. A chiffon-layered fascinator obscured her face, adding an otherworldly charm.

“He must have been a super hot guy 30 years ago, maybe even better looking than Jasper Beckett. Besides, his genes are so
powerful-his children are his carbon copies.”
“Indeed...”
“Lyla Nelson is so lovely. I’m mesmerized!”
“There’s a reason she beat Sophia Kirkman to be the queen of TS Network back in the day!”
“What a pity! You youngsters have no idea how popular Lyla Nelson was. If it weren’t for that incident, she wouldn’t have retired
and given up opportunities to Sophia Kirkman. Sophia Kirkman owes her career success to Lyla!”
The onlookers nodded in agreement. Lyla, having overheard the conversations, embarrassedly clung to Winston’s arm.
He teased her softly, giving her a boost of courage, “You have nothin to be afraid of when you’re beside me. Look, they’re all
praising you Besides that, no one would dare to gossip about my wife. They’ll only get into trouble.”
Lyla choked up as she gazed into the eyes of her husband. She muttered, “I-I’m just worried I’d embarrass you, Jonah, and
Lyse.”
Holding his breath, Winston held her hand. “That’s nonsense. Don’t overthink. In fact, I feel that you’re too good for me.”
Lyla stared at her feet and shook her head. She was fully aware that she’d never be Winston’s only love or claim his full
attention. Despite that, she did not feel bitter about marrying him. Without Winston, she wouldn’t have survived until today.
