Chapter 615

Author: Sequora
Mark rushed home after spending the night outside celebrating a successful negotiation.

As soon as he stepped in the drawing room, he found his dearest son running unsteadily toward him, and he quickly scooped him up in his arms before he could fall. "Oh, be careful, my dear boy! You'll fall flat on your face…"

"Hmph! I'd never fall!" Bob smiled, but he soon burst into tears as he remembered a certain someone and pointed a pudgy finger at the dining room, "That bad woman hurt me and beat me. Get her out of here! I don't like her!"

Mark carried Bob into the dining hall to find Renee advancing on them and immediately felt a pang of guilt. "Oh, Renee. Have you eaten?"

Renee smiled as she stared pointedly at Bob. "Not feeling an appetite. Can't eat with all the ruckus my brother was making."

Slowly walking to the couch, she took a sip of her tea and reclined against her seat, picking up a pillow while asking, "So? Is there something you want to tell me?"

    The servants were still firing firecrackers and fireworks in the gardens, the ensuing booming thundering across the skies and filling the air with gunpowder scent.It was a scent which Renee really liked for some reason, as she was an indication of the new year—a time which she really cherished.Jasper, meticulous as ever, sensed her emotions and held her hand, patting it.Renee turned to smile at him in turn, the love in their eyes all too obvious.Tom was watching them enviously. Despite his composed appearance, it was clear whenever he saw their interlocked fingers.On the other hand, Ava was a lot less calm, as the faintest emotions would always show on her face.'Hah! Jasper is mine, Renee—you won't get to strut for that long!'Meanwhile, Mark returned to his seat after handing out everyone's presents.With that, everyone drank to each other's health, the ensuing small talk lively and the vibe around the table all around peaceful.Still, after a long while and everyone ra

    Ava was never one to shy away. "Haha! You're the best, Yvie!"Beside her, Tom reclined against his seat as he asked, "Ms. Irwin, could that vineyard belong to one Mr. Dawson?""The one and only.""That jerk! Giving away the good stuff to beautiful women instead of his friend," Tom teased.His glass filled just then, Mark then raised his glass and said, "Everyone, I'm glad you're all here to celebrate this New Year's with me… That's it, that's the speech. I know y'all young 'uns hate speeches, so Happy New Year—that's all I have to say.""Happy New Year!" Everyone cheered as one, raising their glasses as well.After taking a sip, Mark stood up and beckoned at a servant, who left and returned with a tray full of gift boxes.Mark handed one to Renee's first. "I've been gone for too long, and I owe you too much. Here's a little something to make up for it."The gift was thick and heavy, but as Renee stared at Mark, she thought she had gone back in time for a moment.Back then, her

    The dinner started at six, with Mark taking the main seat at the dining table.Tom, Ava and Finlay sat to his left, while Jared, Jasper and Renee sat to his right.Watching as everyone sat, Ava asked Mark, "Shall we get started?""No yet," Mark said quietly. "There's one more.""Who? Is Mommy coming too?" Ava asked in surprise as she couldn't think of anyone else.Renee and Jasper traded glances, just as curious who it could be, when a voice spoke up. "Sorry I'm late."It was Yvie, arriving fashionably late in a green dress and a boxed bottle of red wine."Yvie!" Ava exclaimed chipperly—she had always liked Yvie. "So you're the last one."Yvie remained composed even as she felt everyone staring at her.Looking at Mark first and then Jasper, her eyes were moist with tears, and her heart seemed to ache as she went to stand beside him. "It's good to see you again, Jas."Jasper was looking at her sideways, however, playing dumb. "What are you doing here?""Yeah, well…"Yvie sig

    Naturally, Ava had plans. In fact, she had brought Finlay over expressly for him to seduce Renee.She just didn't expect Jasper to show up, nor did she know that Renee's fiance whom everyone keeps talking about was this handsome.He was her ideal man—cold, imposing, noble, with pride ingrained in his very bones.And because she was her mother's daughter, with her mother choosing to marry Mark, not to mention Mark had been a good influence enough, she would like a husband from Hyperia.Most importantly, Hyperia's men didn't stink like Cromenian men did, so Ava's goal was now to steal Jasper and marry him!"Please be a good girl for once," Mark said a little sternly nonetheless.While he expected her to listen, he didn't expect Ava to let go of him and snort furiously. "If you don't let us stay, I'll call Mommy this instant!"Mark's eyes narrowed coolly as he glanced at Finlay on the couch.Well, they asked for it. They couldn't blame him for what happened.Sighing in exasperati

    Sensing Renee's stare, Jasper turned and raised his brow at her, shrugging as if to say it wasn't his fault.Ava's eyes remained glued to Jasper in curiosity, tugging on his sleeve as if they were already friends. "Jasper… Can I call you Jas? Jasper's so formal. Can you tell me what's going on? They're all saying you're dead, but here you are, alive. It's a miracle…"Noticing her infatuation, Jasper quietly withdrew his hand from her grasp. "I'd rather you stick with addressing me as your brother-in-law.""What? No way." Ava shook her head, her cheeks blushing slightly. "You're not married to my sister."Thanks to her good genetics, she was exceedingly pretty with her fair skin and gorgeous almond eyes, but the freckles on her cheeks did take some points off her."Whatever." Jasper shrugged, not caring to press the issue—it didn't matter how she addressed him anyway.At the same time, Finlay sat beside Renee to chat her up. "I never could have guessed that you're Ava's sister! I'

    Renee wasn't bothered to explain. She turned to Jasper and said, "She's Ava Whitley, Mark's daughter."Jasper reclined against his seat and looked at Ava, "Hello. Does that make you… my sister-in-law?"Ava rolled her eyes. "Where are your manners?! Isn't Hyperia all about manners?! Why aren't you on your feet to receive me?""It really depends on the person in question," Jasper replied as he looked at her pointedly from head to toe.He really didn't like her, having met her when he was pretending to be Hank Jackson and seen how she kept harassing Renee.The man behind Ava strode up, smiling at Renee and holding out a hand. "Oh, it's you! Fancy meeting you here. Do you remember me? We just bumped into each other yesterday."Renee wouldn't have shaken his hand, but he was way too enthusiastic and had already reached for her hand.He was a little smart, but not really—his acting was so crude that his intentions could be read in an instant.Beside them, Ava gasped in surprise. "Oh,
