“What are you saying?” Jasper frowned, taken aback.

“Leave me alone. I don’t need you to be nice to me. Not anymore.” Alyssa slowly stood up,

trying not to

wince as her gastritis acted up.

She added, “Don’t try shoving your useless affection here now that Liana has broken your

heart. I’m not a

trash recycling center-not even if you beg.”

Jasper clenched his hands into fists, anger rising fast with her insults.

He had come to help her out because he was worried about her.

Why did she have to demonize him so? Why did she humiliate his small gesture of

kindness?

Alyssa put on her heels again and left the room while Jasper slowly cleaned up the

cupcake mess on the

floor, heart aching.

Alyssa was no longer the kind, affectionate woman who would smile at him and tend to

him with all her

heart.

Their failed marriage remained a lasting trauma in her heart center. It sculpted her into

the hard-shelled,

abrasive, and fierce woman.

One small hint of kindness was enough to make her push away, hurting him in the

process.

Jasper trembled slightly, crushing the cake in his palm.

He did this to himself.

He single-handedly ruined such a sweet, young woman and their once-lovely marriage.

There was still some time till the auction began. Ada and Yves’ presence had attracted the

entire hall’s

attention, with several reporters flocking to interview them for the night.

Sophia was chatting with other rich men’s wives while Betty and Zoe were busy with their

plans.

Betty was preparing to have a picture taken with Ada and consequently be interviewed

about it. She

hoped to use this to strengthen her reputation.

Meanwhile, Zoe was eagerly waiting to take a selfie with Yves in order to have a footing in

the fashion

world.

“What a surprise to see you wear this necklace to the event tonight, Madam Ada. I take it

you’re quite

fond of it?” Betty piped up upon seeing an opportunity open up.

The reporters instantly started taking photos of them together.

“Of course. This is Alexa’s work, after all.”

Ada didn’t like how shallow and immature Betty was. Yet, the former still showed her

respect because the

latter remarked on the necklace and the fact that she had chosen Berenike Hotel for her

wedding.

So she wrapped an arm around Betty’s waist, posing for the camera.

Betty was absolutely thrilled.

“Madam Ada, do you intend to buy some jewelry tonight to contribute to this charity

auction? Or contribute a piece of your own?” a reporter asked.

Ada smiled. “I intend to contribute a piece tonight.”

“Oh? What kind of jewelry would it be?”

“You’ll see for yourselves later on.”

Zoe was lurking around Yves as well. She waited until her interview with some reporters

had finished before marching straight up. “Madam Yves!”

Yves stopped in her footsteps upon hearing her call. Her eyes were filled with sheer

indifference as she looked Zoe up and down.

They didn’t know each other, nor did Zoe’s limited edition fall-series peach gown help the

girl’s case. It didn’t suit her and made her come off as someone with bad taste.

“I’ve read all your magazines since I was a child, Madam Yves. I’m MINT’s loyal fan!” Zoe

cooed, an enthusiastic blush on her cheeks.

*Since you were a child? Am I that old?” Yves smirked.

“N-No, not at all!” Zoe cried, cold sweat beginning to form on her nape. “What I meant

was, I truly and honestly respect you from the bottom of my heart! Can… Can I…?”

But Yves had already turned and walked past her.

“M-Madam Yves!” Zoe held her gown up and turned around to go after the woman.

But what she saw made her flinch, stumbling backward.

“There you are, Ms. Alyssa!” Yves crooned, going up to Alyssa’s side like they had known

each other for

years.
