Jasper narrowed his eyes. And he turned his piercing gaze to LÃanaâs pale face.
When he let go of her waist, Liana clung to him desperately. She ignored the pain in her hand.
âNo, Jasper, itâs not true! Alice provoked me first! I didnât provoke her! Laurenâs mind isnât good, donât believe her!â
âHer mind isnât good? Well, I think the only thing not good about her is her hairstyle. She explained everything clearly,â Landon sneered.
For Jasperâs sake, he didnât say anything too harsh. He couldnât believe that Jasper, the playboy, would treat Liana like his true love. He wasnât easy to please, yet he was sticking to her like he was under a spell.
âMs. White didnât hurt you, right?â Jasper took a deep breath, his voice tense.
With the witness present, Liana broke into a cold sweat. She dared not lie again.
âSo, you slandered her?â Jasperâs words cut through Liana like a knife.
âNâNo, I-â
Liana began to shiver in fear, her body trembling like a leaf. Suddenly, she fainted from excessive nervousness and blood loss.
The ridiculous farce ended abruptly, with Liana being frantically shoved into an ambulance.
When Sean hurriedly arrived, Alyssa was with Mandy in the underground parking lot.
âIâm sorry! Itâs all my fault! Something so big happened, yet I wasnât by your side!â When he saw the bloodâstained white handkerchief in Alyssaâs left hand, his heart sank. âHow did you get hurt? Who did this to you? Iâll take care of them!â
âItâs okay, Sean. I know you had business to attend to at the company. Itâs just a minor issue here,â
Alyssa said. She gazed deeply at Mandy. âShe took care of it for me.â
âWhat did I even take care of? I couldnât even do anything for you despite my status.â
The thought of how Alyssa had been attacked by the Becketts tugged at her heartstrings.
âLyse, why donât you reveal your identity? Why do you have to endure this humiliation? You should have told them youâre the young daughter of the Taylor family. Then, they would know what they would have to pay for offending you!â
Alyssa smiled faintly and shook her head lightly. She said, âWell, I have already left the Becketts. I donât want them to know anything about me. No matter how dirty, bad, or hateful they are, they including Jasper.
Sean was stunned He finally realized that Mandy also knew about Alyssaâs marriage.
âYes, life is filled with suffering. The start of a relationship may be lovely and sweet. But it could also suffer a horrible ending. Let the past stay in the past,â Mandy said.
She pursed her lips and couldnât help but smile. âFortunately, Sue didnât come today. Or else there might have been bloodshed.
âShe has a strong personality. Itâs probably because of her martial art background. Sheâs quick to seek revenge and swift in repaying kindness.â
They chatted for a while, laughing together along the way. Suddenly, Mandy hugged Alyssa.
âLyse, I still feel sorry for you,â she said, choking on her words.
âThereâs no need to feel sorry,â Alyssa said, her eyes red with tears.
With a gentle smile, she comforted Mandy, âWith all of you by my side, Iâm not upset at all.â
