Just as Jasper was about to push the door open and leave, Barry immediately called out, “Jasper! Your grandfather isn’t well, there are some things you shouldn’t say. This is just a misunderstanding, I was drunk back then…”

Jasper pushed the door open and left directly, refusing to listen to any explanations.

He had lived in this kind of hypocritical family since he was a child. His parents seemed affectionate, but their marriage was a business arrangement. His father had a first love outside, and the illegitimate child was only half a year younger than him.

Heh, it was nothing but cheating during pregnancy.

He had known about this matter since he was ten and hadn’t hidden it from his mother.

But the result was a slap from his mother.

She blamed him for telling her the truth, which fractured their already precarious marriage. Because of the business arrangement, she couldn’t fight back and could only endure it, which led to her being cold even toward her own son.

His family was a joke.

“Jasper, what did Dad want to talk to you about?”

“Nothing. Let’s go, it’s time to head back.”

Bianca sensed his cold attitude and her heart sank. She tried to move closer to him and playfully coax him as she had done before, saying, “Jasper, don’t be angry…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she was abruptly pushed away with such force that she nearly fell.

Jasper snapped back to reality, guilt flashing across his face, and he steadied her. “I apologize.”

That had been an instinctive rejection just now.

Bianca felt it, and precisely because of that, she was somewhat hurt.

“Jasper, what exactly is wrong with you? Do you not want to marry me? If so, I can leave. I don’t want to force you.”

Bianca’s eyes were glistening with tears, and her voice choked up. Her words flooded Jasper with guilt.

Since the wedding, he seemed to have constantly neglected Bianca.

9:53 Sat, Nov 8

She was the person he had promised to marry, the person he had vowed to take care of for a lifetime, and his debt to her was growing.

“Bianca, I don’t mean that.”

“Then what do you mean? Jasper, we’ve been separated since the wedding. Everyone outside is laughing at me.”

Jasper reached out and hugged her. “I apologize, I was negligent. Tonight, I’ll have someone pack up your belongings and move them over. Just tell the housekeeper how you want to decorate.”

Bianca’s tears turned into a smile, a hint of smugness in her heart.

Finally, she moved into Maplewood Manor legitimately.

Jasper didn’t interfere much with her choices, instructing the housekeeper and servants to fully accommodate her requests and redecorate the place.

Meanwhile, he went to the company to handle official business.

At this moment, Tatiana also arrived at Jackson Corp to apply for a job.

Applying for a cleaner position.

“You’re Cindy?”

She nodded.

The person in charge of the outsourcing company checked her ID card, then looked at her, and asked in confusion, “Why are you wearing a mask?”

“I’m afraid I’ll frighten people.”

“Take it off and let me see.”

Tatiana did not resist and took off the mask, revealing a face covered in medicinal cream, which made everyone

Oh

everyone around gasp in fear.

my god! A monster!

The person in charge waved his hands repeatedly. “You’re too scary. Leave immediately, we won’t hire you.”

Tatiana didn’t move. “I only ask for one–third of the salary. I’m very diligent, you can see for

When the person in charge heard she only wanted one–third of the salary, he was quite tempted. The money saved could go into his own pocket.

“Fine, you can stay, but don’t take off that mask, it’s too frightening.”

She nodded, successfully getting the job with a super low salary.

She followed the other cleaners, put on the uniform, and began to clean.

She was responsible for the restrooms and stairwells on three floors. She worked meticulously and flawlessly, leaving no fault to be found, cleaning everything spotless.
