Alyssa had almost snaried the word âshamelessâ.
Winston Taylorâs children had always been cherished and nurtured by him and his wife, Lyla. They were provided with abundant support and room to chase their aspirations and realize their dreams.
Alyssa had once thought she could do the same for her love with Jasper, choosing to leave her home to be with him.
However, all that transpired was her putting herself in jeopardy and Jasper gradually stripping away her pride and her heart, layer by layer, until she could bear it no longer.
She had acted foolishly then.
Now that she had regained her senses and returned home, her decision to take on the mantle as the familyâs heiress was to empower her siblings to do the same.
Alyssa didnât want her and her familyâs life to be disrupted any further, but that seemed to be all that Jasper was accomplishing.
She couldnât take it anymore.
âShameless?â Jasperâs eye grew hooded. He pressed his hands beside her head, leaning in close. âSo you decided to get revenge on me by having Xavier arrested because you think Iâm shameless?â
Revenge?
Now, Alyssa was infuriated.
Why the hell was Jasper so obsessed with himself?
He was the one who had sent Xavier to spy on her in the first place!
Not only did he fail to offer an apology, but he was also still slandering?
Alyssa couldnât help but think that Jasper was such a god-awful jackass.
âHow would your brother, a cop, have arrested Xavier without reason other than at your behest?â
Jasper hissed, âDo you hate me just because I won this once, Alyssa?â
âAre you jealous?â Alyssa sneered. âAre you jealous that my brothers dote and care for me? Are you jealous that they are leaping to my defense?â
âAlyssa!â
âBut didnât Ada already choose to attend your welcoming party instead of ours? Isnât it shameless of you to still have your secretary follow me around, even taking pictures of my brother?â
