Chapter 1127
Jasper’s countenance bore a bitter expression as he uttered, “H-However, all the businesses that
have been coborating with the Yustone family abruptly severed ties. When I inquired, they merely
informed me that I had offended someone.”
“Oh? In that case, Mr. Yustone, it seems you’ve typically managed to offend a multitude of
individuals,” Warren remarked in a t tone.
Jasper was rendered speechless by Warren’s remark, and his bitterness intensified.
Jasper was habitually arrogant, often offending numerous individuals. His family’s wealth and
connections within various gangs usually allowed him to navigate the consequences of his actions.
However, this time, he had offended Warren, a person beyond his family’s ability to handle.
Initially, Jasper had believed Amelia to be merely a mistress of Warren’s. Despite her pregnancy, he
dismissed her significance in Warren’s life. His actions led to him humiliating Amelia, only to find
himselfter being humiliated by Warren. This retaliation was undeniably a case of an eye for an
eye.
Jasper had anticipated the retaliation to conclude with his own humiliation. However, he hadn’t
foreseen that numerous family businesses would be adversely impacted and the capital chain
would be disrupted. Even the banks refused to loan them money.
If this pattern persisted, the Yustone family would inevitably meet its downfall.
As Warren and the others were on the verge of departure, Jasper abruptly interjected, “Mr. York, I
wager you wouldn’t want me to disclose the scandal between you and Ms. Haab.”
“A scandal?” Warren halted in his tracks and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Simultaneously, Amelia furrowed her brow and instructed her mother to take Aiden to the car.
Matilda cast a concerned nce at Jasper before moving to take her grandson away at her
daughter’s silent cue. However, Aiden vehemently refused to leave, insisting on staying by Amelia’s
side to protect her.

“Today, Mr. York, you’ve brought Ms. Haab to this banquet, and she’s dressed exquisitely. Yet, I dare
say, not many are aware of her stint in prison…” Jasper believed he held a trump card and
intentionally lowered his voice as if wary of prying ears.
Upon hearing this, Warren’s gaze turned icy, his lips pressed into a tight line, and his expression
darkened considerably.
Observing the change in Warren’s demeanor, Jasper perceived he had honed in on Warren’s
vulnerability and became more motivated to press forward. “Furthermore, Ms. Haab is presently
viewed as pregnant before marriage. If the child is born, it will be considered illegitimate. Should
news of your association with an illegitimate child born to a woman with a criminal record circte,
Mr. York, both your family and your reputation could face a substantial blow.”
Nearby, when Aiden overheard the mention of an “illegitimate child,” a shadow of sadness clouded
his young face.
This was because many people wouldbel him as such when scorning him.
When he was younger, he couldn’tprehend the concept of an illegitimate child. As he matured
and grasped its meaning, he realized the term carried a heavy stigma.
Witnessing the sorrow etched on Aiden’s face, Amelia’s heart ached. She moved to his side and
held his hand tightly. Then, she sternly addressed Jasper, “You have no right to pass such judgment
on my children!”
“Gossip can be rather menacing, can’t it?” Jasper continued, directi words toward Amelia. “Ms.
Haab, I believe you to be a reasonable Why don’t you try to convince Mr. York to avoid making a
spectacle this situation? Otherwise, neither of you will enjoy a peaceful time if decide to disclose
this scandal.”
Warren fixed Jasper with a chilling stare. His gaze was so icy that it was capable of freezing him on
the spot.
“Neither of us will enjoy a peaceful time?” Warren responded by raising his hand and delivering a
swift punch. In an instant, Jasper was knocked to the ground.
Soon, the altercation between the two drew the immediate attention of departing guests, creating a
sudden uproar among the crowd.

Jasper struggled to rise from the ground, but before he could regain his footing, Warren seized his
cor and hoisted him up, leaving him almost off the ground. “Should you ever harm Amelia, rest
assured, I will not let you off lightly. Furthermore, your family will find no refuge in Strico. Keep in
mind that I always stand by my words.”
The humiliation inflicted upon Jasper ignited a fierce rage within him. He couldn’t ept that this
was the result he faced despite his attempts atpromise.
Observing Warren’s unwavering resolve not to spare the Yustone family, Jasper shouted defiantly,
“Fine, Warren. I offered you a chance, but it seems you’re the one squandering it! Everyone, please
pay attention. The woman standing beside Mr. Warren York has a criminal history and is currently
pregnant out of wedlock! She’s carrying Warren’s child! Yet, it’s Warren we’re discussing. He
wouldn’t dare to marry her! After all, she has a prison record!”
Alicia, standing not far from them, observed the unfolding incident as she exited the banquet hall
with Ryan. A faint smile yed on her lips as this turn of events was exactly what she had
anticipated.
Considering Warren’s character, having taken action against Jasper for thetter’s doings,
forgiveness wouldn’te easily.
Simultaneously, knowing Jasper’s nature, if he failed to achieve his objectives, he would
undoubtedly resort to exposing the fact that Amelia was a mistress and had a prior prison record in
order to humiliate Warren.
This was the unfolding situation at that time.
However, what Alicia didn’t anticipate was the sudden emergence of a woman’s voice. “Ms. Haab
was indeed imprisoned, but she was wrongfully convicted. The court has reexamined her case, and
she has been proven innocent. How can you continue to make such false statements? Your words
can be seen as nder, especially given the fact that you speak of this on such an asion. It’s
evident you intended to fuel rumors. Ms. Haab has every right to take criminal action against you,
and if you’re found guilty, you could face up to three years in prison!”
Alicia turned toward the woman speaking and was shocked to discover that it was Rosalie, the wife
of the esteemed man in Strico, Jonathan.
During the day’s banquet, Rosalie had been almost encircled by noblewomen from the upper
echelons of society. Therefore, Alicia

couldn’t fathom why Rosalie would choose to defend Amelia.
Alicia found herself even more astonished when Rosalie approached Amelia and dered, “Amelia,
if you wish to hold this man ountable, I am willing to be your representativewyer.”
Amelia looked at Rosalie with gratitude and said, “Thank you, Rosalie.”
“You don’t have to thank me. You’re the godmother of my children!” Rosalie asserted, intentionally
ensuring her words were heard by those around them.
Upon hearing this, Alicia was instantly ovee by waves of shock. She couldn’t believe that
Amelia was the godmother of the triplets in the Youngblood family.
“What is happening? Amelia is just the proprietor of a concession stand. She has neither wealth nor
influence. How could she be the godmother of those triplets?” Alicia screamed inwardly.
After all, with such a significant identity, Amelia has the freedom to do as she pleases in Strico!
“E-Even if she was wrongly convicted, she has been Warren’s mistress! How could the Youngblood
family allow a person who is pregnant out of wedlock and willingly bes someone else’s
mistress to be the godmother of your children? Mrs. Youngblood, you mustn’t be deceived by her!”
