All Chapters of Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

Jasper's question left Quincy averting her eyes guiltily, and she glanced pointedly at Donald before sighing. "There's nothing I can do… It's all for the sake of the family."Jasper snorted. His father Will could never stand his ground on anything, so major decisions in the family were made by his grandfather Donald, while Quincy dealt with the trivial things.And judging from this reaction, it was Donald who wanted Alison to marry William all along.Jasper, however, wouldn't shy from attacking anyone, even family."And what, are there no other girls in this family aside from Alison?" he asked bluntly. "My uncles here have loads of daughters themselves, and Uncle Ben's eldest is even waiting to be married off. So why not her?"Everyone, including Quincy, held their tongues as they really didn't want to catch the heat.That was everyone except Ben Zeller, whose face was ashen. "D-Do you even know what you're saying?! She was close with you when you were children, and you'll throw

In the end, Jasper was still Donald's favorite grandson—there was no way he didn't feel a thing.Will finally stepped up and reasoned, "Please, Father. Jasper has always listened to you and never asks for much… Just let him have this one. I'm sure he can handle it."Quincy nodded. "That's right… unless you'd rather he marry Renee."Ben sighed. "He's pigheaded and definitely won't change his mind. Just leave him be—I have faith in his ability."Rodney nodded as well. "He's the most outstanding of all our children. I'd like my son to inherit the family business too, but he really falls short where Jasper is concerned. We're all plenty old, and it's time we step back and let the young'uns take charge. The world is theirs, after all." Then, before Felix could speak, Simon stepped forward. "Apologies, but I think there's something everyone should know."Frowning in hesitation, he then spoke even as everyone stared at him. "Jasper's feelings for Ms. Whitley isn't mere infatuation. Ali

Jasper chuckled. "Don't worry about it. Just take care of yourself."That was when someone knocked on his door, and he said, "Gotta go. I'll call you later.""Yeah. Be safe," Renee said."Yeah."And with that, he hung up, just as Yvie entered with a bowl. "It's chicken soup. You should have some—it'll help you heal.""Just leave the cooking to the servants." Jasper stayed on his stomach, his head turned to watch her.Yvie smiled mildly. "I'll do what I can when it's you."At this point, her repeated insinuation told Jasper enough about her mind.But there were things that could not be forced, and Jasper's mind was set."You're three years older than me, and while my family likes you, you're just a friend, and that's all there is to it. I hope you understand."Yvie frowned but said, "It's cold, so the soup would cool quickly. You should have it soon."Seeing that she was being stubborn, Jasper pressed, "People your age are already having children, if not married. Trust me—I c

Hal kicked his chest right then as he snapped, "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! You know how much money that resort has raked in once it opened for business! Billions! Each year! It's real money!""Hah! You actually believe the ledgers at face value?!" William laughed. "With the operating costs, there isn't going to be much profit to speak of, and what works for one person won't work for the other! Aren't you worried you'll lose more than you bargain for?!"Rubbing his chest to ease the pain, he fought his own frustrations and snarled, "What, do you think Jasper is an angel?! He will always be a cunning snake!""Are you done?!" Hal bellowed. "So what if the profit margins aren't wide enough in the initial years?! What do you think will happen in a decade or two, when it grows in fame and interest?! Look to the future for once!" That only sent William flying into a rage, and he pointed at his own father as he bellowed, "You old fool, blinded by greed! You should be taki

William's eyes narrowed darkly. "Did you just call me crazy?! You just agreed to be my girlfriend the other day!"He already knew that she was buying time but just didn't expose her on the spot.Renee feigned composure and retorted, "I changed my mind. Or is that not allowed?"She had decided to support Jasper whole-heartedly, so she would make sure that he didn't have to keep worrying about her.For now, she just had to do whatever she could to stop William.Hence, she sat behind her desk, putting her hands on the handles while staying wary. She had a can of pepper spray in her drawer, which she would use if he tried anything."Also, there's that loan I asked for to acquire Harken Capital," she then added. "Never heard a peep science.""The loan…" William scratched his head.Still, he went over to her desk, propping himself against it with both hands while ogling her. "You didn't agree to be my girl, so I'm not about to rush things either… Why don't we spend the night togeth
