Chapter 280
As the visitors gradually exited the rose garden, only Alyss a and Liana were left behind in the endlesssea of roses.
In the fading light, Alyssa’s bare face looked as luminous as the moon, to the envy of Liana. Puttingaside their grudges, Liana had to admit that Alyssa was an extraordinary beauty.
Alyssa’s beauty evoked fear and resentment in Liana. After all, Alyssa had spent three years under thesame roof with Jasper, despite their relationship being a sham marriage.
She bit the bullet and went up to Alyssa while flicking her straight hair. She no longer looked like thefrail woman when she was around Jasper. She flashed Alyssa a victorious grin.
“You found a new love r pretty fast. Quiteskillful, aren’t you? You should have done
that sooner. No matter how much you bother Jasper, he will not take another look at you.”
Alyssa stared at Liana, as though she was staring at a madwoman.”Why would I want his attention likea peacock?”
Liana choked and silently cursed at Alyssa. She showed her trump card next. “I’ll tell you some goodnews since we ran into each other. I’m getting engaged with Jasper at my birthday party.”novelbin
“Is that so? Congratulations, but I don’thave any gift for you,” Alyssa replied mindlessly.
Liana was enraged at Alyssa’s indifference, which she perceived as an affront.”You can deny it asmuch as you want, but I’m sure you are secretly pissed off. You can’t do anything about it. I will beJasper’s spouse, and you will be a joke in Solana City.”
“Hey, Liana Gardner. Every time we meet,
you are either screaming about winning over Jasper or showing off your relationship. Is that your life?Do you have nothing to show except for a divorce e as your boyfriend?” Alyssa sighed in boredom. Shelost some brain cells every time she spoke to Liana.
Even so, it was hard not to clap back at an arrogant and ignorant bitch like Liana.
“What did you say?” Liana glowered atAlyssa.
“I understand the urge to show offbecause you’re marrying up, but you should at least talk to the rightperson. He might be a treasure in your eyes, but he’s just trash to me. It’s all meaningless, don’t youthink?”
Trash?
Liana’s face was flushed when she retorted, “This is pure sour grapes!The meaner you are, the moreyou care about my engagement with Jasper! You call him
trash only because you’re upset! Who wouldn’t be if they were abandoned by their lovers after wastingthree years of their lives!”
Alyssa’s eyes frosted up. Her dagger-like gaze gave Liana the chills.
“You have to learn when to stop. Youshouldn’t cross a line just because I’ve backed down. My kindnessis not a green light for running your mouth. This is my last warning—do not take advantage of mycourtesy, or you’ll suffer, Ashley.”
The mention of “Ashley” was akin to dropping a bomb on Liana. She was ashen-faced and badlyshaken. Feeling the blood rushing through her veins, she held her breath and stumbled backward.
“What’s with that look?” Alyssa grinnedwhen she saw Liana’s pale face.”Wasn’t Ashley your namewhen you were studying in Mosgravia? I’ve never come across anyone like you who jumps at themention of their name.”
“I don’t know who is Ashley. This is myfirst time hearing the name. I don’t know what you’re onabout,”Liana fervently denied any association with the name as her breathing became shallow.
Ashley was an easy woman and a gold-digger, the exact opposite of Liana’s prim and proper personashe crafted for Jasper.
Alyss a narrowed her eyes. With a dangerous gleam, she inched closer to Liana with her arms behindher back. She bent over and flashed a hostile and knowing smile at Liana.
