Jasper simply pointed out, "If you're that worried about being laughed at, you can move in with Uncle Rodney and have Eric take care of you. You've always been close with him, and he now has full authority over Everest Group, so he's the better choice."However, his nonchalant retort only left Donald fuming, the vein on his forehead bulging as he bellowed, "You insolent brat! I'll kill you!"Grabbing his cane beside him, he swung it at Jasper!"Dad!"Horrified, Will rushed up to stop him, but it was too late.However, Jasper caught the cane barehandedly just before it struck him. Narrowing his eyes sharply at Donald, he said, "Are you sure you want this? If you really hit me, then nothing ties us together exactly as I want it. And with that, I can leave without qualms."Donald was left stunned, his cheek twitching in sheer fullness.He tried to pull his cane out of Jasper's grasp, but Jasper held it with a vice-like grip, denying him."Jasper!" Will bellowed, and Jasper final

Jasper nodded at Alison. "Just go."Wheeling himself to Renee, he reached out and took her hand. "Should we give Ario a proper Hyperion name now?"Renee, however, seemed distracted by the good weather outside—there was a gentle breeze, and the sun was mild. "Let's go out for a stroll?""Sure." Jasper nodded. "Thanks."Renee smiled. "It's unlike you to be so formal."With that, she wheeled Jasper out to the garden.The flowers were all blossoming as it was summer, the myriad colored petals exceedingly breathtaking.It wasn't her first time in the Zellers' residence, but it was no different from the first time, considering her lost memories.Sitting on the garden bench, she stared at the flowers pensively.Jasper then reached out to take her hand. "What's on your mind?""Will Tom be executed?""He'll survive," Jasper replied, shaking his head. "Tom's death squad have always been loyal to him, so they'll shift the blame on Fred since he's dead anyway."Renee scowled. "He'll li

As Renee wheeled Jasper in slowly, they were both smiling—a picture of utter bliss.That was when Alison arrived and crossed her arms, watching them.She sighed, shaking her head. "Tut, tut. I envy you two so much—I wish I could love like this too."But she was earnestly happy for Jasper and Renee, having witnessed their love first hand.While she wished she had something like that too, she had come to understand that love was simple—it just wasn't easy to stay together forever."Don't worry. You're still young, and we're not married," Jasper joked for once, as he was really in a good mood.Alison rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. Your kid can read the alphabet while I'm still single."Renee laughed. "Just let things go naturally. This stuff can't be rushed.""I know. Whatever—I won't think about it." Alison sighed. "I just came to say that now that the dust has settled and Eric is leading Everest Group, I have nothing to do, so I'm going on a trip abroad. Is there any place you'd

Alison paused before delivering the final punch. "In the end, you just think that Renee is staying too far away that she can't bring the family any wealth or connection, while you're losing Jasper on top of that."Her words were so harsh that Donald's face turned ashen, and he slammed his shears on the floor, bellowing, "Is this how you talk to an elder?!"Alison remained calm as she watched him snap. "I said it—or what, do you expect me to take it back? Also, you call yourself an elder? Then have you considered if it's something an elder should do when you sacrificed me?"For the family's so-called future, my happiness and even my life was given away so cheaply, like none of you ever expected any reprisals if I really got killed! But even if you, Mom, and Dad have disappointed me already, I just wish you'll stop doing the same to Jasper, or you'd just have to make do with Eric."Springing to her feet in rage, her lips curled into a sneer. "Oh, and that reminds me… Eric and his gan

Caspian's opinions made sense, and Conrad was just as worried.Walking up and handing Jasper a cigarette, he smiled. "Caspian's definitely right about that."Jasper had his cigarette between his lips as he lit it up and took a puff. "The Graysons are a big deal, but King Avid's strength in Ambrossia is nothing to scoff at. He's already made calls to people in high places, making it very clear who Renee is. Willian has done the same as the Prince of Farbanti too, demanding severe punishments on Tom."With the two-pronged offensive and the fact that Tom brought in armed mercenaries that challenged Hyperia's sovereignty, it was an international incident that not even the Graysons could bail Tom out of, not even with their endless wealth.If it had happened anyplace else, their top brass would be all too happy taking bribes from the Graysons' endless fortune, turning a blind eye to the things Tom did.However, this was Hyperia, where duty and patriotism stood tall and eternal.As suc
