Chapter 98
Chapter: 98
He could only curse Ariana out in his mind. Last night, he had too much to drink. He remembered
heading for the restroom to ease himself. But before he could get in, someone knocked him down from
behind. Everything immediately went black. When he finally regained consciousness, he found himself
lying almost naked in a dirty alley. His entire body was aching and his face was swollen badly.
At that moment, he vowed to investigate and kill whoever did this to him.
Brielle was as stupid as always. She didn’t sense that something was wrong after he didn’t come back
from the men’s room. Even though she couldn’t get in touch with him on the phone, she went back
home alone. He could have died last night.
To make matters worse, Ariana was here laughing at him in front of these people. How infuriating!
Glaring at her through his dark sunglasses, Jasper wanted to teach her a lesson there and then. But
more people gathered around to see his swollen eyes.
It was unwise to remain here or do anything while all eyes were on him. As a result, he gritted his teeth
and said, “Don’t be complacent, Ariana. You can’t beat me at this game. Theodore can’t even protect
himself, and his authority in Anderson Group has dwindled. Don’t think he will come to your aid. It’s
only a matter of time before the company and its subsidiaries become mine. You should get onboard
the winning train. Think about my offer carefully before it’s too late. You either become my lover, or get
kicked out of the Andersons’ household with Theodore. The choice is yours.”
“Really? You should be quick about taking over the group. I’m not interested in joining forces with you.
Continue to have that pipe dream, okay?” Ariana sneered and looked at Jasper with disdain.
Blue veins stood out on Jasper’s temples. He was so angry that he looked like a fierce beast.
With Herculean effort, he held back and said, “Let’s wait and see.”
He then turned around and left with Elva.
The onlookers soon dispersed while discussing what they had just witnessed.
Ariana walked up to Sarah and said in a low mood, “I’m sorry Jasper and I have a personal grudge, so
he deliberately did it You lost this rare opportunity because of me.”
“No, that’s not true!” Sarah shook her head and added, “The entertainment industry is a battlefield. It’s
common for people to steal deals because they can. But why is that guy messing with you? Is it a love
dispute?”
Sarah put her arm over Ariana’s shoulders and continued very seriously, “Listen, don’t ever get
romantically involved with Jasper. He’s a notorious playboy. He will only break your heart.
In the past, he hooked up with countless actresses by using his identity. He changes women like
underwear. He has a way with words. Don’t let him fool you.”
“So, he was a philanderer in the past too? I had no idea!”
Ariana’s tone was difficult to read. Although she only looked surprised, she felt betrayed. She wanted to
punch Jasper in the face.
During their relationship, Jasper had claimed that he had never dated any other woman before and that
she was his first love.
Now, she realized that she was just one of the many women he toyed with.
What a shameless man!
“Yes, he’s a dog in human form. He sleeps with everything in skirts. In the past, Mr. Theodore Anderson
was the only one in charge. He worked day and night for the advancement of the Anderson Group and
its subsidiaries. However, Jasper did nothing. He only came around the company to woo new and
naive female trainees and sleep with them. He had his way with a few at that time. Unfortunately, things
have changed now. He’s getting what he wants these days.”
Sarah took out a cigarette and lit it as she spoke with distaste. From the corner of her eye, she saw that
Ariana was still a little depressed. So, she reached out and patted her on the head.
“Don’t be sad, okay? You have already done a lot for me. I mean, you helped me deal with Lynch. That
snake is currently suffering. And I’m really happy about that. That reminds me, I have something to tell
you…”
Sarah vigilantly looked around to make sure no one was within earshot. She then whispered in Ariana’s
ear, “I got an intel from one of my friends in the entertainment circle that Lynch’s rich sugar mommy
abandoned him. He’s now in hot water without any help.”
