Jasper casually ced his left hand in his pocket on the white marble-carved spiral staircase. His


    tailored gray suit outlined his figure as he descended the stairs elegantly.


    Zoe stared at his handsome face and forgot to cry, half-opening her mouth in astonishment.


    Jasper was truly the fantasy of all women.


    Zoe was willing to lose her dignity and shame just to cling to him. She felt that she didn’t make the


    wrong


    move.


    No matter what, she must obtain him.


    “Mr. Jasper, what do you mean by that? You bullied my granddaughter, but now it has be her


    fault?” Cornelius’s gaze was sharp as he questioned coldly.


    Jasper smirked. “You’ve understood. There’s no need for me to repeat it and embarrass your


    granddaughter again, don’t you think?”


    His words left everyone in shock.


    What did he mean by that?


    Did something happen during that night they spent together?


    Instantly, Zoe’s face turned pale. She hid in Cornelius’s arms and bit her lip, afraid to make a sound.


    “Y-You!”


    Being of an old age, Cornelius was almost out of breath from Jasper’s words. His face turned red.


    “Jasper! What nonsense are you talking about? You can’t act recklessly in front of the elders!” Javier


    quickly scolded. But in his heart, he started to have doubts.


    “Act recklessly?”


    Despite Jasper’s smile, his eyes held an intimidating gaze. “I was merely stating facts. Ms. Zoe, do you


    dare to make a solemn oath to God?”


    A chill ran through Zoe’s body, and her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.


    “Do you dare to swear that you knew nothing about what happened in the hotel that night and were


    Jasper’s eyes were as deep as an abyss as he stared at her, like a police officer scrutinizing a heinous

    Zoe darted her eyes around, trying to look innocent. “Jasper, why are you saying that? Swear? Why


    should


    I swear? Didn’t you ask me to meet you at the hotel that night?”


    At her words, Jasper’s eyes contracted sharply.


    He thought Zoe would quibble. But he didn’t expect her to dare to make up lies.


    “We agreed to meet in room 205. I arrived first and waited for you, but you didn’t show up. So I thought


    I’d


    take a bath while waiting for you.


    “I didn’t expect that as soon as I finished bathing, you came. Isn’t that what happened that night?”


    Zoe’s eyshes were wet with tears, and her eyes were red-rimmed and swollen. Everything she said


    seemed so real.


    “Jasper, I don’t know what happened in the middle that made you unwilling to admit what happened


    that


    night. But no matter what you say, I won’t me you.


    “If you want me to make an oath, I will!”


    As Zoe spoke, she clenched her teeth and raised three fingers. “I, Zoe Harper, swear to God that


    everything I said that night was true. Otherwise, I would get hit by a car and die miserably!” 1


    Zoe considered the idea of solemnly swearing to God as absurd.


    Did God even exist in this world?


    Zoe didn’t believe in hell or karma.


    She only knew that, as long as it was something she wanted, she would get it no matter the dirty tricks


    she needed to use.
