Chapter 154
Even Jasper was surprised by his own baseless accusation. He had formed a negative preconceptionagainst her even when he lacked evidence.
Somehow, he hoped that Alice had deliberately played a role in the Incident because that would provehis importance to her.
“Jasper, you think too highly of yourself.” Her heart ached as she forced a smile. “To be honest, I havenever considered taking revenge against you.
“I don’t care if you marry Liana. I won’t even bat an eye if you marry four wives like Winston Taylor ofBelbanks. Spiting you is not won’t at all.”
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 wouldhave to join the line if she wanted Rose’s service.”
“Rose might have wanted to spite Lia for my sake, but I am not that petty to use a friend to get back atLia. If I wanted to spite Lia, I would have slapped her right away instead of taking the roundabout way.You don’t understand me at all,” she mocked him with a faint smile on her lips.
He found nothing in her eyes, not even a hint of excitement. That was like a stab to his heart.

“Sean, get me the sneakers I brought for her.”
Sean quickly took a pair of sneakers from the trunk and placed them by Alyssa’s feet.
Jasper finally ran to the entrance. He watched as Jonah kneeled and took off Alice’s heels. Jonahproceeded to hold her ankles and put on the sneakers for her. He even tied the shoelaces nicely with alevel of attentiveness that rivaled a father taking care of his daughter.
She slid her hand into Jonah’s pocket and found a plece of chocolate. She took a bite of the chocolateand smiled sweetly.
“Let’s go home.” Jonah led her into the car. They left in no time.novelbin
Jasper felt as though his heart had been taken from him. His chest was lilled with disappointment and afeeling of emptiness. His ex–wife. who had once lived her lonely days in his absence, was now treatedlike a princess by Jonah Taylor.
A dignified man, Jonah was willing to do anything for the woman he loved with eyes full of affection. Heloved Alice so much that he wanted to help her to put on her shoes.
Jasper felt oddly upset at the sight of Alice being doted on.
In the evening, Liana followed Jasper to the Seaview Manor with the excuse of visiting her uncle andaunt.
“Jasper, why did you disappear from the cocktail party that night? I was scared when you left mealone.” Seated in the back of the car, she
