Liana walked away, sobbing.
The maids were gushing about her hysterics. Her visits never failed to end up with antics and her leaving the place with tears. They
wondered if she deemed Seaview Manor as her personal playhouse.
Jasper sat still on the couch. He stared at the jumble of cloth for a long time.
“Mr. Jasper, it’s getting late. Here’s some milk. You need to get some sleep.” Rosie handed him a glass of warm milk.
A heavy sigh escaped Rosie’s lips as she gazed upon the ruined suit. “What a shame.” Her words meant something deeper.
“The next time Lia stops by, keep an eye on her. Stop her from entering my room and study. Oh, and Alice’s room too,” Jasper instructed in

“Don’t put it that way, Mrs. Rosie. Lia isn’t that bad of a person. After all, I owe her for the past three years.”
“What about Madam Alice? Has she done anything wrong? Don’t you feel sorry for her after the divorce?” Rosie’s voice rose to another octave without her realizing it as she defended Alice.

Jasper pursed his pale lips.
“Rest up. I’ll be out of your hair.” A gloomy Rosie left the room with grudges. She took the milk with her too.
He blinked his eyes and drew a sharp breath, wondering, “Is she mad? I’m not finished with the milk yet, though. Since when did Alice win
the hearts of the people I care for? What a calculating person.”
As the bearer of bad news, Liana returned home in a forlorn state.
“What’s that brat, Jasper, doing? He claims to love you so much, but he acts like a douchebag. Do we mean nothing to him?” Dylan hurled the ashtray onto the floor. His eyes reddened.
“How is he not in love with me? He divorced for my sake without hesitation.” A sobbing Liana tried to redeem her pride.
“I don’t know either. Jasper met Ms. Alyssa today. And his attitude took a one–eighty turn after returning home. He said he’s not going to
“Dad, Dylan, did you guys do something in the back, and someone found out about it? He seems to hate our family …”
