Chapter 56

    Rosie was taken aback. She couldn’t believe Jasper didn’t see through the cunning girl’s pathetic act.


    He was indeed a fool.


    At this moment, Jasper picked up a ck umbre. His face was calm as he pushed the door open.


    “Hey! Mr. Jasper!” Rosie anxiously called out.


    Jasper continued to walk out with the umbre. Rosie was so frustrated she stomped her foot.


    Outside the door, Liana sat helplessly in the rain, unable to hold on any longer. But as soon as she saw


    Jasper walking toward her, she became overjoyed. She turned on her charm and pitifully wept as she


    copsed forward.


    Jasper’s eyebrows furrowed. He walked up to her. He held the umbre over her while using the other


    hand to forcefully lift her from the ground. His demeanor was firm and adamant, so she could not break


    free even if she wanted to.


    “Jasper …” Liana murmured, then threw herself into his embrace.


    Just moments ago, she seemed frail. But now, she miraculously revived in his presence. She wrapped


    her arms tightly around his sturdy waist and leaned against his chest.


    A sense of irritability surged in Jasper’s heart, and he spoke softly, “You have a weak body. Staying


    under the rain will make you sick.”


    “You wouldn’t have met me if I didn’t do this. I just wanted to see you. Why won’t you meet me?” Liana


    raised her pale and miserable face, her gaze filled with panic and confusion. “Jasper … do you no


    longer love me? Lately, you’ve been cold toward me. Is it because of the incident with the suit? I know I


    was wrong. I’ll apologize to Alice and beg for her forgiveness. Is that enough?”


    “There’s no need. I’m no longer angry,” Jasper said indifferently. “You’ve seen me now, so you can rest


    assured. Go home and stay with your family. I will find you once things settle down.”


    “Jasper, please… save my brother, okay?” Liana realized he was bing impatient, and her face


    flushed with anxiety. She put down her pride as a wealthy youngdy and clung tightly to his muscr


    body.


    “My brother is about to be sentenced! Nowyer in Sna City dared to defend him because of the


    Taylor family’s power and influence. They have gone too far and are pushing the Gardner family to the


    edge! Jasper, you must help us! My family is almost bankrupt. Everything will fall apart once my brother


    goes to prison! Please, I beg you.”


    Jasper’s gaze remained cold and firm, his tall figure unwavering.


    Some might call him heartless, but his love for Liana was persistent. He had kept his promise as a


    young man until he turned thirty, even if it meant hurting another woman who deeply loved him, and


    even if it meant bearing the title of an unfilial grandson, he was determined to marry her.


    Some might call himpassionate, but he was impartial and resolute when it came to official matters.


    The Gardner familymitted a crime, and he showed no mercy. He was as cold and decisive as a


    judge in the court ofw.


    At this moment, Jasper recalled his ruthless words to Alyssa when negotiating on behalf of the Gardner


    family and how he used the issue with the Gardner family against Alice. He was instantly filled with


    regret, and his tone turned frigid.


    “The Taylor family is innocent, and your brother is the one who brought this upon himself. I suggest he


    confess and seek a lighter sentence. That’s the right thing to do. As for the Gardner family, your family


    should reflect on their mistakes. One rotten apple spoils the bunch. Even if I were to give you another


    billion, there’s no hope if you don’t address the issues within your own family.”

    Liana’s lips trembled, and she was dumbfounded. She had thought that by crying and acting miserable,


    Jasper would soften andply with her as he had done before.


    But she was wrong this time. Jasper used to be lenient with her because she hadn’t crossed a line. But


    once she overstepped her


    boundaries, he wouldn’t show mercy even to the woman he loved.


    In the end, Jasper forced Liana, still crying, into the car, instructing the driver to lock the doors. He


    watched her leave with a tense


    expression, and only then did he sigh a breath of relief.


    He stood in the rain with the ck umbre for a long time, remembering the disappointed look in


    Alice’s eyes. There was a pang in his


    heart. He couldn’t stop it even if he wanted to.

    With Dn’s arrest, the Gardner family fell intoplete destion.


    Mr. and Mrs. Gardner were not even concerned as Liana returned, covered in mud, her face pale and


    lifeless. They immediately asked if the Beckett family would intervene on behalf of them or if they would


    help in hiring a powerfulwyer. However, Liana could only shake her


    head anxiously with a dejected expression.
