Chapter 80
As the night fell, they arrived at the ACE. It was one of Landon’s properties.
Jasper was feeling extremely depressed. So, he did something he had never done before–he went
out to drink with his friends.
Landon picked him up personally Jasper rarely took the initiative to contact him.
“Sometimes, I feel like I’m your mistress,” Landon murmured into Jasper’s ear. In front of others, he was bold and fearless. But he turned chatty and gossipy whenever he was around Jasper.
“I’ve never stooped so low for any woman. But I’m like a mistress waiting for her man when it
comes to you. You just have to give me a booty call, and I’ll doll up and come running to you. Aren’t I the best? C’mon, admit it! Even I feel touched by my actions!”
“You’ve never stooped low for any woman?” Jasper glanced at him. “Well, you were stooping pretty
low for Alice.”
“That was a one–time thing! It’s mainly because your ex–wife is too outstanding, and I … I can’t

Jasper resisted the urge to scream at him.

it’s no wonder you’ll cave.”
Jasper was taken aback by his words and clenched his glass of whiskey. He had spoken as though he had seen Alice’s body, as if they had been intimate.
“I haven’t touched her. You think too much,” Jasper said, his cheeks slightly flushed. He quickly
downed the drink in his glass.
How could he have such inappropriate thoughts about that woman?
As they continued drinking, Landon couldn’t help but ask, “Jasper, can I ask you a question? I’ve always been curious about it.”

“Yeah,” Jasper replied.
“Why must it be Liana? Why?” Landon asked, hugging Jasper’s neck. He pitied Alice. “You saw it
today. Those women wanted to tear Alice apart. If it wasn’t for Lauren stepping in to defend her,
she would have been torn into pieces. It’s so unfair!”
Jasper’s gaze wavered, and he seemed lost in memories. “My mother suffered from depression
and couldn’t bear the rumors and Javier’s cold treatment. She ended up jumping off a building.
“But Jasper, people change. You two haven’t been together for so long. Do you think you still know her? What if you find out that she’s drifting further and further away from the person you
