Chapter 862
“Ms. Renee, you should know I’m your cousin’s ex-husband.” Jasper’s profile was like a sharp blade,
possessing a striking and awe-inspiring beauty.
He finally took the initiative to talk to her, but it was about Alyssa.
“Yes, I know,” Renee replied weakly.
“So, I think you should be mindful of your image. When Alyssa is around, it would be best if you refrain
from appearing before me.”
However, Renee seemed to be under a spell. She misunderstood the meaning of his words. Blushing,
she
asked hesitantly, “Does that mean… when she isn’t around, I can-”

mentioning it. Don’t read too much into it,” Jasper coolly remarked, lifting his champagne and draining it
in one go.
Jasper’s words left Renee feeling humiliated, as if she had been entirely dismissed.
Over the years, she had been quite successful in the realm of love, with countless men pursuing her
relentlessly. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to pursue a man by lowering herself.
However, she didn’t mind. Jasper was entirely worth it.
By becoming his woman, she believed she and her father could proudly hold their heads high before
Winston and no longer be overshadowed.
Jasper continued to drink heavily, one glass after another. Anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood.
Renee sat beside him, keeping him company as he drank while she studied him.
A subtle smirk played at the corners of her eyes.
A covert scheme played out just as Dominic ordered drinks from the waiter.
“Drink. Keep drinking. If you drink enough, Alyssa will fade away, and all you’ll see is me,” Renee
thought.
After Alyssa and Julien exited the garden in the rear, they did not hurry to return.
It wasn’t because Alyssa couldn’t bear to part with Jasper. Since she was already there, she of
checking in on her “old friend”, Sophia.
Julien was starting to get a bit impatient.
“Hey, what are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for someone.”
“Who?”

her
arch-enemy.
“Why are you being so secretive?” Julien pouted.
“By the way, since Jasper won’t let me treat him, does that mean I can go back?”
“No,” Alyssa answered.
“Why not? I still have things to do over there. I don’t have time to waste with you guys here.”
“I’ll go see Grandpa tomorrow and get him to convince Jasper. Even if Jasper doesn’t listen to me, he’ll
definitely listen to Grandpa.”
Alyssa was determined to resolve this matter. Once she had made up her mind, no one could stop or
dissuade her.
“You’re throwing yourself at him. I just don’t get it.”
Just as Julien was about to complain, Alyssa suddenly gestured for him to be quiet.
