Chapter 771
Jasper casually placed 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 become 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat 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
completely innocent? Do you dare to swear to God?”
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?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZoe’s eyelashes 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 blame 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.
