Renee hid in the car, sobbing. Her eyeliner and mascara were smudged. She looked utterly pitiful.

"Enough! What are you crying for? Look at you, so pathetic!" Dominic was furious.

Renee miserably wiped her tears. "Mr. Beckett is really too much. I fell right in front of him. Shouldn't he help me? How could he turn a blind eye?

When Dominic recalled Jasper's intense gaze and brazen stare at Alyssa, he was infuriated.

"Dad, Mr. Beckett still has feelings for Alyssa. What should I do?" Renee asked tearfully.

"What feelings? They wouldn't have gotten divorced if he truly had feelings for her. If they're divorced, it means he couldn't go on being married to her even for a day."

Dominic sighed, his gaze dark. "Right now, if you want to get close to Jasper, Alyssa isn't the only obstacle. There's also that girl from the Harper family."
