Rosie was taken aback. She couldn't believe Jasper didn't see through the cunning girl's pathetic act. At this moment, Jasper picked up a black umbrella. His face was calm as he pushed the door open. “Hey! Mr. Jasper!” Rosie anxiously called out.
Jasper continued to walk out with the umbrella. 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 wa on her charm and pitifully wept as she collapsed forward.
Jaspers eyebrows furrowed. He walked up to her. He held the umbrella over her while using the oth “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 ur “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 lon “There's no need. I'm
no longer angry,” Jasper said indifferently. “You've seen me now, so you can rest assured. Go home a stay with your family. I will find you once things settle down.”
“Jasper, please... save my brother, okay?” Liana realized he was becoming
impatient, and her face flushed with anxiety. She put down her pride as a wealthy young
lady and clung tightly to his muscular body.
“My brother is about to be sentenced! No lawyer in Solana City dared to defend him because
of the Taylor family's power and influence. They have gone too far and are pushing the Gardner fami Jasper, you must help us! My family is almost bankrupt. Everything will fall apart once my brother go 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 r Some might call him compassionate, but he was impartial and resolute when it came to official matt and decisive as a judge in the court of law.
At this moment, Jasper recalled his ruthless words to Alyssa when negotiating on behalf of the Gardr 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 thi Liana’s lips trembled, and she was dumbfounded. She had thought that by crying
and acting miserable, Jasper would soften and comply 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. Bu 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 w expression, and only then did he sigh a breath of relief.
He stood in the rain with the black
umbrella 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 Dylan's arrest, the Gardner family fell into complete desolation.
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 wc of them or if they would help in hiring a powerful lawyer. However, Liana could only shake her
head anxiously with a dejected expression.
