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.
“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

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!”
