Chapter 279
Jasper’s entourage stared at each other in shock, especially Xavier, who looked like he was struck by lightning.
Noticing Jasper’s grim expression, Liana tried to be thoughtful and quickly comforted him. Jasper, don’t worry. It’s just a rose garden. You can still reach out to the many rose gardens across the country.”
Jasper removed his arm from her grip while she was talking. The impact of his movement caused her to stumble backward in an embarrassing moment.
“Let’s go, Mr. Schmidt.”Alyssa didn’tbother to take another look at Jasper and Liana. She beamed gently at Jameson instead.
“Sure. I’ve made a reservation at therestaurant. We can leave at any time now.”

Jasper clenched his fists as his eyes clouded with hostility.”Did you look into me?”
Jameson shook his head with a smile.”Everything I do is out of my interest in Lyse. It has nothing to do with you.
