He could only keep telling himself that maybe she was just acting.
After all, as a princess from a wealthy family, she had faced various media since childhood. It was only natural for her to act in front of the media, right?
But later, everything he saw in the bamboo forest completely shattered his thoughts.
She kissed William so passionately and said she loved him.
So, she really fell in love with William!
And himâ¦what was all of this for?
Just to make Jasper fall into Williamâs arms? To make them, childhood sweethearts, finally be together?
Suddenly, Roger felt a sense of regret. He shouldnât have taken this step!
If he hadnât, maybe she wouldnât have started dating William so quickly.
The night was dark and the streets were becoming increasingly empty.
Roger didnât know how long he had been walking when suddenly someone blocked his path.
âHey there, young man. All alone?â A womanâs voice sounded in his ear, and when he looked up, he saw a heavily made-up face.
It was a young woman with heavy makeup and revealing clothing, clearly up to no good.
âMove aside,â Roger said coldly.
However, the other person didnât leave. Instead, they took a step closer to Roger and said, âWhy push me away like this, little guy? Since weâve met, why donât I take you to a good place and have some fun? Then, you wonât have any worries.â
The woman spoke with a seductive smile and reached out to touch Rogerâs chin.
But Roger tilted his head back slightly, avoiding her hand.
âGet lost, donât bother me!â Roger said impatiently.
The womanâs expression immediately changed. âWhatâs wrong? You look down on me? Who do you think you are?
Walking alone on the street at night, are you heartbroken?
You must have been dumped by a woman. I can tell youâre not capable, otherwise why would someone dump you?â
The other person was cursing and complaining, but their words were like invisible needles constantly pricking at his nerves.
Love troubles?!
Him? How could that be possible?!
How could he be troubled by love? He had long lost any feelings for Jasper!
âShut up!â Roger shouted in anger. âGet out of here, or donât blame me for laying a hand on a woman!â
The woman was startled by the cold voice and the sinister expression, and a chill ran down her spine.
âWho do you think you are? Let me tell you, Iâm not someone to mess withâ¦â
Although the woman was speaking these words, she kept backing away and quickly ran off.
Roger slowly lifted his feet and walked to the side, sitting down on the edge of the steps by the road.
He then scratched his hair in a somewhat dejected manner.
What happened to him?
He set up a trap and forced William and Jasper into it.
He set up a trap and forced William and Jasper into it.
In fact, all he wanted to see was Jasper abandoning William when he was in trouble.
Just like back then, when the Abbott family was in chaos because of his motherâs gambling, the Reed family also abandoned them, and Jasper broke off their friendship at that time.
He wanted to see William end up like him.
He wanted to prove that Jasper was a person who only cared about himself.
Perhaps only by doing so can he strengthen his desire for revenge and make him feel that seeking revenge on her is not wrong!
But unfortunately, things didnât develop as he had hoped.
She didnât abandon William! She chose to stand by his side and fight with him.
