He wasn’t about to risk his life fighting in the underground rings again! Nor was he about to


    be another rich cougar’s boy toy!


    *Because… because he has eyes for someone else now…” Liana’s eyes reddened as tears welled up


    in them.


    She continued, “What can I do? He doesn’t love me anymore. You want money from me, yet I can’t


    even get through to him for my own needs. You could kill me for all I care, and he still wouldn’t


    budge!”


    “Is–Is there no other way?” the man asked hurriedly.


    “Maybe… maybe if that other woman were no longer in the picture, things would change for the


    better…” Liana was sobbing by now, though there was a sly glint in her eyes.


    “Do you want me to-?” The man made a cutting motion across his throat.


    Liana looked up at the man, saying, “So long as you can help me ensure she never interferes in my


    rtionship with Jasper, I can give you all that you want.”


    She even caressed his cheek, her eyes turning soft and warm. “You could ask for fifty million, and


    I wouldn’t even hesitate to give you that.”


    Fifty million?


    Greed and lust swelled in the man’s being. He pressed Liana against the wall, saying, “Tell me who


    this woman is.”


    The next day, when Xavier yelled from his desk, Jasper had just entered his office with a mug of


    cooled coffee, ready to admire the vast Sna City view outside his office windows.


    “What is the meaning of this? What on earth is Mr. Javier thinking?” His grip on the letter of


    appointment on his desk was so tight that it seemed nearly ready to tear.


    He continued, “How could he appoint Sophia Kirkman as Vice Chairman? What qualifications does


    she have? What can she even contribute? Pigs would fly before she seeds at this position!”


    Javier assigned the Verdane Valley project to her so she could gain an upper hand for the board,”

    Does Mr. Javier still not trust you?” Xavier cried. “Everyone knows Mr. Justin isn’t fit to take over.


    He still needs a wheelchair to be able to move about!


    “Mr. Javier can’t be so selfish as to withhold the position from you. You’re his son too! He clearly


    appointed Sophia to create an obstacle for you. What kind of father does that?”


    “That’s enough, Xavier *


    Jasper looked down at his mug. “I know you worry for my sake, but never bring this up beyond


    this office” T


    “What do we do now, sir?” Xavier sighed.


    “Not everything can be dealt with at first instance. If this is Javier’s move, then I have no choice


    but to make my stand.”


    Just then, his phone buzzed. It was Landon.


    Jasper was tempted to ignore it, but the vibration was too irritating.


    “What?”


    “I… I have a broken heart, Jasper… Can we hang out tonight?” Landon sounded weak and helpless

    over the phone.


    “Hell no.”


    Jasper was about to hang up when Landon cried, “Alyssa broke up with me! For real this time! Oh,


    my love… my heart… my soul has died.”


    Jasper remained unbothered. There was the faintest hint of a smile on his face before he said, ”


    Serves you right.”
