Chapter 154
Even Jasper was surprised by his own baseless accusation. He had formed a negative preconception against her even when he lacked evidence.
Somehow, he hoped that Alice had deliberately played a role in the Incident because that would prove his importance to her.
“Jasper, you think too highly of yourself.” Her heart ached as she forced a smile. “To be honest, I have never considered taking revenge against you.

Pain shot through his heart. He felt as though something had hit him hard. “Alice, you…”
“Rose has a waitlist until the end of next year. She is a principled woman. Even the first lady would have to join the line if she wanted Rose’s service.”

“It’s fine.” She sniffled with tears in her eyes.
“He didn’t give you trouble, did he?” Jonah looked worried as he cast a glance at Jasper, who was frozen on the spot
