Chapter 1088
As calculative as ever, Zoe would never give up any opportunity to be seen with Jasper. If she made her entrance with Jasper, she would cause a commotion and be the object of envy.
More than everything, she would be mistaken as Jasper’s plus-one. Jasper had never graced any social events with a plus-one, even in the three years he was married to Alyssa.

“On the other hand, you have Betty Beckett and Zoe Harper cumbersome floor-length dresses. They have clearly never a
