Chapter_79
The scene unfolded with an air of desperation and frustration thick in the room. Liana’s face twisted as Jasper’s unwavering calm chipped away at her carefully crafted façade. Her emotions surged—fear, anger, jealousy—each one battling for dominance. But despite her desperate pleas and crocodile tears, Jasper remained distant, his gaze colder than she expected, his words more cutting than she anticipated.
Liana’s anger flared as she tried to manipulate the situation, blaming Alice, twisting the facts, and dragging her tangled emotions into the conversation. Her mind raced, trying to find a way to regain control, but Jasper wasn’t having it.
“You think I’m the one who’s wrong here, don’t you?” she spat, her voice thick with resentment. “You think I’d go to all this trouble if I didn’t care about you? I’ve done everything to stay by your side, and you’ve just… just let her—” She stopped, realizing she had crossed a line.
Jasper’s lips tightened, his patience wearing thin. His mind flashed back to Alice’s sincerity, her pain. The rawness of the betrayal he had felt when he’d been led to believe she was involved in the incident. But now, with the pieces of the puzzle falling into place, the clarity made the sting of his own choices hurt even more.
Liana’s outburst echoed in the silence that followed. But instead of being the cause of her salvation, her accusations seemed to push Jasper further away. He wasn’t just upset; he was disappointed. The very woman he had hoped would bring light to his life had, instead, shrouded it with shadows of deceit and manipulation. He had defended her. He had chosen her over everything. But now, as the truth began to come out, it felt like a mistake he could no longer ignore.
“I can’t do this anymore, Liana,” he muttered under his breath, though his voice was still enough to cut through the tension in the room. “You’ve pushed me too far.”
Before she could respond, Jasper turned on his heel, leaving her in the wake of his departure. He didn’t need to hear any more excuses, not when he already knew the truth. Liana’s betrayal had crossed a line that even his feelings for her couldn’t overlook. He had been patient, understanding. But no longer.
Liana’s screams of frustration bounced off the cold walls as she rushed to the door. But when it slammed shut in her face, a piece of her heart shattered. Her carefully constructed world, built on lies and manipulation, was crumbling, and she had no idea how to stop it.
Her mind raced, plotting her next move. This isn’t over, she swore silently. Not by a long shot.
But in the quiet of the ward, after her frantic outburst, all that remained was the haunting echo of her own words and the deep sense of loss that she hadn’t expected to feel. Jasper had left. And with him, any hope she had of winning him back.
As her hand pressed against the door, a single thought burned through her mind—Alice will pay for this.
