Jasper sat on the couch in the study, gently massaging his temples. He rested his elbows

on his knees and leaned forward. Shoulders trembling, he appeared to be in great pain.

His head started aching on the way home, and his condition was exacerbated after

listening to the three women badmouthing Alice.

A princess who was a pauper. It was not their place to badmouth Alice.

“Mr. Jasper, is your headache acting up again? I’ll get the medications!” Mrs. Rosle found

the pain relief pills in a drawer and brought him a glass of water. After taking the pills, he

seemed more at ease as the pain reduced.

“You can’t rely on pills all the time! I remember that your condition Improved after Madam

Alice performed some acupuncture on you. Shall we get her to check on you?” Mrs. Rosle

suggested.

“Mrs. Rosle.” He choked on tears, “H–Have they been putting down Alice all along? They

said that Alice made their meals for three years. Is that true?”

“Yeah, Mr. Jasper. I told you Madam Alice was a hard worker, but you insisted that she was

faking it. She went at it for three years! I’d have to praise her even if she was doing it for

show. Such persistence!”

He pursed his pale lips.

“When she first joined the family, her cooking was average. She humbly asked me to

teach her. I told her that it was the job of the maids and chef, and I asked her to sit back

and relax.

“She insisted on working, saying that she should cook for you and take care of your daily

needs because she couldn’t help you much at work.

“At first, she coughed a lot from the oll and smoke and had to wear a mask in the kitchen!

But she eventually got used to it. She was busy in the kitchen every morning before I was

even awake!”

He wondered the reason behind the coughing. Was Alice allergic to smoke?

A suffocating sensation closed in. Even the pills couldn’t help.

Sighing in frustration and dismay. Mrs. Rosie grumbled. “I’ve had enough of Sophia and

Betty. Madam Alice sacrificed for the family. How could they not show an ounce of

gratitude and mock her instead? It’s outrageous, I tell you.”

“Mr. Jasper, I wished you could get back with Madam Alice. But I also wanted her to marry

another man because it upsets me to think about her suffering in this family. I want her to

marry into a family where she wouldn’t be mocked and humiliated.”

Words hurt as much as sticks and stones. Jasper furrowed his brows, feeling like he was

struck by lightning.

The next few days went by uneventfully, which meant that Newton Beckett’s birthday was

nearing, and Alyssa would finalize her divorce with Jasper. She had mixed emotions about

the matter.

When she married Jasper, they did not host a wedding or publicly announce their

marriage. They hastily registered for the marriage certificate at the city hall without even

throwing a celebratory dinner.

The only photo they took together was from that day. She smiled sweetly and leaned into

Jasper, who looked expressionless as though he was Photoshopped into the photo.

She had naively believed that things would change for the better after they were married.

She thought Jasper would warm up to her one day as long as she tried her best.

It took her long enough to realize that she could not make him love her through sheer

effort.

Their marriage did not fail because of a lack of effort from her side. There was an

Insurmountable distance between them from the beginning.

“Ms. Alyssa, the hotel’s event planning department came up with this event proposal after

pulling a few all–nighters. Please take a look at Ada Kingsley’s wedding planner proposal.”

Sean placed the file in front of Alyssa. Her eyes lit up as she quickly reviewed it.

Her phone rang from a call from Colenie Waters.

“Colene! What’s the matter?”

“Lyse, I got it!”

Alyssa went blank “What?”
