Chapter: 109
Brielle stood and took Jasper’s hand tenderly. She was about to act cute and complain to him again when he suddenly shook off her hand and slapped her straight across the face. @
Brielle froze, dumbfounded by the slap. Brielle held her slapped cheek and looked at Jasper with tears in her eyes. “You slapped me?”
She completely lost it the next second. She pounced on him and rained down slaps on him like crazy. “I’m going to kill you today. How dare you slap me? Have you lost your mind?” @
“That’s enough! You know what you did.” Jasper grabbed her wrists, glaring at her. His previously swollen eyes were almost healed, except for the slight bloody bruises around them.
For this reason, he looked like the devil himself when he stared at anyone in the past few days. @
Even Brielle—a stubborn and careless woman, couldn’t help but shiver at the sight of his fierce look. She swallowed hard and feigned obliviousness. “I don’t know what you are talking about. What did | do?”
Jasper gritted his teeth and blurted out, “What the hell were those photos online? You always acted like a naive and pure girl in front of me, but you are actually so loose like a bitch! You know what | hate the most, Brielle? It’s being cheated by someone | trust! You disgust me!” @
Guilt broke every guard of pretense Brielle put up. She stepped back a little and said, “What has the past got to do with anything? My past doesn’t define who | am. It’s true that | used to be wayward, but I’m no longer that girl. You are the only one | love now, Jasper.” @
Jasper raked his hair with his fingers. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the grenade of fury that was threatening to explode inside of him.
“Please calm down, my love. Now is not the time for us to fight over something like that. We need to join forces and find out who is behind this. Jasper, you are scaring me. I...” Brielle stammered. She feared that Jasper would hit her any moment from now.
Jasper stared daggers at her without saying a word for a long time. Brielle was beginning to think she was doomed when he finally said, “Before | came here, | found out who did this. It was Lynch! Since he was once an A-list actor in the entertainment industry, it was pretty easy for him to dig up your dirty past. He’s also the one who tried to bathe you with acid just now.”
“What? Lynch is behind it? How can that be? | don’t know him, neither have | had any encounter with him before!” Brielle was shocked and scared. She knew Lynch was a horrible man based on all that was published in the media about him. As a result, she would never dare to step on his toes.
“What do you mean by that? Why would Lynch try to pour acid on you and also go as far as denting your image if you don’t know him? It’s clear that he holds a grudge against you. Enmity is very common in the entertainment circle. But why would Lynch single you out and attack when you just debuted recently? You must have done something to hit Jasper felt that Brielle was telling lies. After all, she had lied to him all this while.
Brielle burst into tears again. Holding her face, she said, “How would | know? | swear, | don’t know that man. We have never met before. You have to believe me. I’m telling the truth.”
“You'd better be!” Jasper snorted.
Brielle held her chest, choking with fear. “Thank goodness that madman was caught in time. | could have died.”
Jasper sneered, “Don’t get too relaxed yet. | got the news that Lynch managed to trick the security guards and escaped before the cops came, He’s still out there, so that means you are far from being safe.”
Meanwhile, Ariana was restless for the whole afternoon after she got back to work and Sonia informed her that Lynch evaded arrest.
It was finally closing hour. She was clearing her desk when Donna suddenly barged into her office and assigned her more tasks.
Although Ariana knew that Donna was picking on her, she couldn’t refuse. She stayed back and worked until it was about eleven o'clock.
She took a look at her phone. There was no text or call from anyone. Her heart sank a little. Her so-called husband didn’t even contact her.
Just as Ariana was about to be sad again, she called herself to order, They were just a nominal couple. Theodore had no obligation to care that she was staying out late.
