Jasper looked at her intently, his hands clenched at his sides. Beneath his seemingly calm expression, anger was churning.

She shook her head. “I don’t remember.”

“The difficulty in repairing this is quite significant.”

The cosmetic surgeon gently held her chin, examining her face from every angle. The more he looked, the more regret he felt. “This lady’s original features were absolutely perfect–a small face with large features, smooth contours, a full forehead, a rounded nose tip with a straight bridge, and very expressive eyes. She is the most perfect face I have ever seen. Who was so vicious as to destroy it?”

The former eldest daughter, besides having the nickname ‘Jasper’s simp,‘ had another title- Flora.

Meaning, a flower of unparalleled national beauty.

She was vibrant and dignified, a genuine beauty, incredibly stunning, one of the best in the entire social circle. If she hadn’t been so blindly devoted to Jasper, the line of men pursuing her would have stretched from east to west.

Unfortunately, that face was ruined.

Tatiana had already accepted the consequences and was no longer distressed by it.

Jasper slowly spoke: “Spare no expense. Fix it.”

“I will do my best, but I cannot guarantee the final result. However, if even I can’t do it, there are few people in the world who can.”

Dr. Harlow was confident in this regard.

“Good. Proceed.”

Tatiana immediately refused. “No need. I don’t care. There’s no need…”

“I care.”

She froze, looking up at him.

Jasper’s eyes held an unreadable emotion. He offered an explanation for himself: “You will be working near me in the future. That face affects the image of Jackson Corp. It’s best to have it fixed.”

“I am just a cleaner.”

Who would care what a cleaner looked like?

“Equally important.”

The excuse was strained.

But she didn’t want to question him further.

“Understood.”

Dr. Harlow quickly laid out a treatment plan: first, to allow the scars on her face to heal as much as possible to minimize the damage, but this process would take time.

Fortunately, Jasper provided more than enough funding, and Dr. Harlow was happy to accept this immense challenge.

It was very late by the time she left the hospital.

Jasper had intended to take her out to eat, but his phone rang.

It was Bianca’s call.

“Jasper, where are you? Do you want to have dinner together?”

When Tatiana heard Bianca’s voice, an uncontrollable hatred surged up.

Jasper, feeling a slight guilt toward Bianca after his rejection last night, was about to agree when Tatiana suddenly spoke, deliberately pitching her voice up. “Let me buy you dinner. Thank you for accompanying me today.”

On the other end, Bianca’s face instantly froze.

Her voice immediately turned sharp. “Jasper, who is that? Who are you with?”

Jasper looked at Tatiana with slight surprise for a moment.

Tatiana had intentionally tried to provoke Bianca. She knew Jasper couldn’t possibly agree to

eat with her.

However, Jasper casually answered, “I have something to do. I won’t be coming back.” Then he hung up.

Tatiana was stunned.

Jasper wanted to clear up a few things, and dinner was the perfect opportunity to ask questions.

As for Bianca, he would have Felix send over the newest jewelry. She loved jewelry.

In terms of emotion, the debt might be irreparable.

In terms of money, he never shortchanged anyone.

But he was incapable of giving anything more.

“Let’s go.”

He walked ahead first.

Tatiana stood still, hesitant.

Jasper suddenly turned and asked, “Are you lying to me?”

She flinched and immediately shook her head. “I’m not lying.”

But she genuinely did not want to treat him to dinner, nor could she afford it.

She also knew Jasper wouldn’t let her off the hook so easily; he was still suspicious about her supposed ‘amnesia.‘

Eventually, she took the lead and said, “Follow me.”

She deliberately led him to a greasy spoon restaurant tucked away in a small alley. The tables and chairs were set up outside, and it was nearly full.

The patrons were mostly local laborers—a mixed crowd, filled with the grit of everyday life.

When Jasper, dressed in an expensive suit, appeared, he looked conspicuously out of place.
