Chapter 93
Alyssa’s gaze hardened immediately. She looked very distant all of a sudden.
“It seems that Ms. Gardner spoiled you a lot. You’re a lot more shameless than before.”
“Don’t drag other people into our problems” Jasper snapped angrily.
“Stay away from me if you don’t want me to insult you! I want nothing to do with you, Mr. Beckett! You may contact me only when it’s time to finalize our legal divorce! Goodbye!”
Jasper was used to Alice looking at him lovingly over the past three years. Her eyes tended to sparkle happily whenever she saw her. Now, her eyes held nothing but coldness and contempt. It made him feel awful.
“I won’t let you leave!”
Alyssa started laughing. “Am I supposed to stay just because you said so? What, do you think I’m your pet dog? Must I follow your every order?”
“There’s no need for you to say such harsh things. You know very well that’s not what I meant.” Jasper frowned in displeasure.
“Harsh things? Haha! You really are dense, aren’t you? Can’t you tell I’m being sarcastic? Let me make it clear. I hate you, Jasper Beckett. Don’t bother talking to me anymore.”
Alyssa’s eyes reddened. She tried to free her wrist from Jasper’s grip.
But Jasper was also a stubborn man. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip became. He didn’t care that he was hurting her.
Alyssa hissed softly in pain.
She clutched her right lower arm with her left hand. Sweat soon seeped out of her forehead.

“I’ll take you to the infirmary right now.” Jasper’s voice was deeper and scratchier than before. Even his expression was a lot gloomier.

“Get lost!” Alyssa roared furiously. Right now, her heart hurt as much as her wrist.
They had been married for three whole years, yet Jasper always ignored her. He wanted nothing
to do with her.
Now that they were divorced, Jasper decided to pester her. Not only that, but he kept making physical contact with her. It seemed that he no longer minded being around her.
How ironic.
Jasper was stunned upon hearing Alyssa’s scream. His handsome face soon became icy.
“How dare you demand me to leave! You were the one who wanted to marry me in the first place! Why didn’t you show this side in front of me when you were still my wife?”
“That’s because I loved you back then.” An enraged grin stretched across Alyssa’s face at that moment. Her eyes had already reddened from the anger.
Jasper could feel a dull ache coming from his heart. Even his breathing was starting to become
heavier.
“When I was still in love with you, I’d tolerate anything you did to me. Now that I no longer love
She would never break her promise, no matter how torturous the waiting process was.
“I don’t plan to break my promise. I’ll visit Grandpa during the next two days.”
