âI donât blame you for leaving me andfalling in love in Mosgravia. I wouldnât even blame you for giving birth to someoneâs child.â Hatred filled Jasperâs eyes.
He curled his fists and continued,âBut you shouldnât have lied about your severe depression. You used it as a cover to manipulate me into marrying you!â
âNo ⦠Thatâs not it â¦â Liana startedmumbling incoherently as blood drained from her face. The gravity of her mistake finally dawned on her.
She lied that she suffered from severe depression to keep Jasper by her side. However, it hadnât occurred to her that Jasper and his mother were the victims of severe depression.
Worried that Liana might share his motherâs fate, he tolerated her behavior and cruelly abandoned Alyssa, who had loved him deeply.
She had never considered the fallout when her cover was blown. Not only did she manipulate Jasper, but she also humiliated his mother. Jasper would never forgive her.
âYou manipulated my feelings with thecondition that my mother and I suffered from.âJasper was burning in regret and rage. He laughed at himself. âLiana, you made me feel like a fool.â
âNo, Jasper! Thatâs not itâ¦â
Landon shook his head and questioned with resentment, âLiana, nobody knows Jasperâs pain as much as you do because you were his childhood friend. You wouldnât have tortured and lied to Jasper, inflicting pain on him for the second time, if you had a bit of conscience.
âHow could you guilt-trip him with yourchildhood memories? It begs the question if youâre truly in love with him. Thatâs not how you treat a man you love. Iâd rather be single than date a woman like you. This is sickening.â
âLandon, thatâs enough.â Jasper wasreluctant to revisit his memories of Liana or get involved with her any further.âXavier, I do not want to see her ever. I want her out of my sight right now.â
âOf course, Mr. Beckett!âXavier stared atLiana with a look of disgust and forcefully dragged her away.
âJasper, how could you treat me this way?âLiana finally ditched her pitiful act andyelled at him hysterically.âThose are all excuses! You broke up with me because you were bored of me! You left me behind because you are in love with Alyssa Taylor!
âWhatâs so good about that bitch? Did shesave your life or what? She used a fake identity from the start because she was up to something!Wasnât she lying to you as well?â
2 âShut the fuck up! You have no right tocompare yourself to her!âJasperâs eyes widened in fury as he bellowed at Liana,a scene never seen before.âOne more word about Alyssa from you, and I will kick the Gardners out of this country. Get lost right now!â
His harsh words hit her like a rock. Fear gnawed at her insides. She would have collapsed right there if Xavier had not held on to her.
She had underestimated how much Jasper cared about Alyssa. Her attempt to paint Alyssa black had backfired, turning her into a joke once more.
Peace returned to the corridor after Liana was dragged away.
âBro, despite everything, Iâd like tocongratulate you.â Landon was glad that Jasper had returned to the right track and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Landon added, âItâs not too late to come around, no matter how long or how badly youâve been lied to.â
âIs it not too late?â Jasper smiled in defeatas his shoulders trembled dejectedly. Why did he feel that it was too late?
