Cornelius lived separately from his sons, just like Newton. He lived in a massive manor slightly smaller than the Seaview Manor, but it was still considered one of the top ten manors in the nation.
The scandal had spread across the family. Even the domestic staff would gossip about Zoe in their pastime.
Furthermore, the silence from Jasper and the Beckett Group created an impression that Zoe was nothing more than a discarded plaything after a night of fun and passion. Her reputation as a Harper lay in ruins.
"Hey, is Ms. Zoe around?" The maids huddled together to gossip.
"She's in Mr. Cornelius' study, crying as if someone died."
"What's the point of crying? She should have behaved better as a Harper—protecting her reputation is a priority. She's now involved with Mr. Beckett and wasn't even fully dressed in the photos. Any distinguished family would care about their reputation. No one would want a woman like her."
"Perhaps Mr. Beckett would want to marry her. They must have had relations after sharing a room for the night. Now that the cat is out of the bag, he will have to take responsibility."
"But he doesn't seem inclined to do so. He hasn't made any statement. He's obviously not eager to take responsibility."
"I think Mr. Landon is a close friend of Mr. Beckett. It's going to be awkward between them now."
"Hush! Mr. Preston is here!"
The maids hurriedly retreated to a corner and greeted Preston respectfully, "Hi, Mr. Preston!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
