ghter out, with Jasper quielly by Alyssa’s side, Occasionally, he opened his mouth to
speak, bo nothing came out.
Winston kept on side–eyeing him. If looks could kill, Jasper would have been sent to meet
his Maker already.
Winston couldn’t believe that Jasper, whom he deemed an asshole, was the one who had
married his precious Alyssa. Did he actually think he deserved her? Winston thought
Jasper was useless.
“Mr. Taylor!” Liana cried, running up to Winston, ‘I’m really sorry about tonight. I made a
grave misunderstanding, I really didn’t know Alice was your daughter I misunderstood her
relationship with Mr. Jonah. I’m so sorry…”
Winston didn’t even look at her. “So you’re saying that if Alyssa weren’t my daughter, you
would have continued talking trash about her and ruining her reputation?”
“I–I didn’t mean that.” Liana stuttered.
Jasper remembered how Liana had accused Alyssa and Jonah of sleeping together in front
of Winston and his grandfather.
Liana’s gaze then had taken on a shade of deviousness Jasper had never seen before.
A great sense of disappointment welled up in his chest.
“Don’t judge books by the cover, Ms. Gardner. Looks can be deceiving. I’m sure you know
this at heart.” Winston shook his head. “What if this had been some other girl, someone
who is less fortunate? Wouldn’t you just be ruining their lives?”
With a sigh, the man quickened his pace, leaving Liana behind.
Liana watched angrily as the group of people faded into the distance. Not even Jasper
stopped to accompany her. It felt like the cold had overtaken her senses as she began
shivering greatly.

Alyssa sighed bitterly. “I chose to hide my identity when I married Jasper because of our

unnecessarily tense. If I married into your family as Alyssa Taylor I would never have been
able to be by your side.”
Winston and Javier flinched at the same time, while Jasper only felt bitterness in his
mouth.
“No, that would never have happened!” Newton cried, clasping Alyssa’s hand. “What feud,

Alyssa scowled. She found Newton rather adorable. “I’m not an obedient child, Grandpa.
I’ve lied to you for so long, and Jasper and I just eally don’t see eye to eye.

“Did you marry me only because of our familles‘ connection, Alyssa?” Jasper asked
shakily, trying to memorize her features. This might be the last time he sees her in a
while.
Alyssa glanced at him and hummed In acknowledgment.
Jasper was outraged. “You never had to worry about food or shelter, being raised by your
father. Three years ago, when you agreed to the marriage contract from Grandpa, you
knew it wouldn’t bring happiness or fulfillment to your life. Still, you chose to sign it.
“Why? Why marry me knowing it would be futile?”
Winston thought Jasper was useless.
