He kept pushing her limits.


    Ste Grace forced herself to calm down. “Sorry, I’m not short of money, and I don’t sell myself. I have a decent job, and I don’t want to be anyone’s mistress.”


    “Miss Grace, your friend, Eli Wayne is still serving in the military. She might be a spy, who knows?” Renault Leves said with a devious smile.


    His words implied that they could easily take Eli’s life or even bring her whole family down.


    Since when did Jasper be like this?


    He was not the Jasper Milton she used to know anymore.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    What exactly had he gone through in the past three years?


    She clenched her fists tightly. The veins on the back of her hand popped. Even her gums were shaking.


    “Miss Grace, calm down. Mr Miton is a nice person. He does not look for a woman simply to cater to his carnal needs,” Renault said.


    What did he mean by “carnal needs” ? It clearly implied he did it.


    “That’s right. Jasper is already thirty-three years old. It’s only normal for him to do that”


    But she did not want to be his woman.


    She would rather stay away from him for the rest of her life.


    “Last I heard, Jasper’s running for President. Aren’t you worried that if this got out, he will lose everything?”


    “Mr. Milton is not going to run for President this year. Looks like you care a lot for him.” Renault remarked.


    “Not running?” Ste was very surprised.


    He was the most popr candidate.


    Considering his power, financial resources, and public support, 70 per cent of the poption would vote for him.


    Why did she care? This had nothing to do with her.She should just forget about all this.


    “I would advise you to ask for whatever you want. Going against him would do you no good. You might end up hurting others as well.


    Look at it this way, one year is not even that long.You could work less for a better living.


    What is most important is that this rtionship is kept secret. No one can know about it and it will not affect your marriage and children in the future.So, why not?


    Besides, Mr Milton is the most popr man in A country. You have nothing to lose.


    Who knows, he might end up falling in love with you. You could be the future firstdy. He might have a fiancee right now but he does not n on marrying her. You haven’t lost the battle yet.” Renault added.


    Ste was not stupid.


    She was well aware of the difference between the strong and the weak.


    “I want to talk to Jasper,” Ste said.


    Renault thought he had tried his best to convince her, so


    he got out of the car and made a call, a serious look on his face.


    After some time, he came back and said, “Mr. Milton would like to talk to you. Let’s go now.”


    As the car drove off, Ste looked out of the window.It looked like they were heading to Skies Vi.


    She guessed that was the ce Jasper usually stayed in.


    They finally arrived at Skies Vi after an hour’s drive.


    Lieutenant Shine was standing at the door, his poker face still in ce. “The Chief is in a meeting now. He wille byter. You might have to wait for a while.” he said.


    Ste went into the vi and sat on a couch.


    Renault’s man took her luggage from the car and put it next to the couch.


    Ste picked up her phone to read some news.


    Breaking news: A chemical nt in Cantebury Town suffered an explosionst night. More than 200 people perished in the ident.


    Human lives really were fragile.


    The family members of the victims would be devastated.


    However, no matter what, life still goes on.


    However, she always felt like she had lost something.


    Someone pushed the door open, light and shadow fell on her face.


    Ste instinctively turned to the door.


    Jasper waltzed in and handed Lieutenant Shine his windbreaker.


    He was wearing a white suit with a ck zer. He looked serious and cool.


    He still had on a grim expression, and no one could ever figure out what he was thinking.


    He sat in front of her, his body straight and his eyes sharp. “Renault Leves said you wanted to talk to me?”


    “I think you can have any women you want,so why force the only woman who doesn’t want to be with you?” Ste asked coldly.


    “Do you want to know the reason?” Jasper’s eyes became colder and colder.


    “First of all, to be honest, you’re not my cup of tea. But I’mcurious,I want to know why I liked you back then.


    Secondly, since we already slept together back then and yesterday, there is no need for me to find another woman.


    Thirdly, I think you’re hiding something from me. Since you refuse to be honest, I can only pry it from you when we are together.


    “Fourthly, I felt veryfortable yesterday. To some extent, you are on par with what I fancy in a woman. Well, I feel that it’s time for me to get one.”


    “Do you have anything else to ask?” Jasper asked curtly. He acted like this was a business deal.


    “Haven’t you noticed that I don’t like you? ” Ste asked cruelly.


    Jasper gave her a sharp re as if he was trying to send chills down her spine. “Does that have anything to do with me?”


    He stared into her eyes.


    There was no warmth in them at all.


    Ste was shocked.


    He was still being cold and mean.


    It was like she was being mugged and couldn’t do anything about it.


    “I want to be 100% free. You can’t restrict my work and life,” Ste said.


    “If you get together with me, you will have to relinquish some freedom. Whenever I call you, you have toe to this ce.I do not have much time to waste on you.” Jasper said coldly as he stood up.


    Ste stood up too and said, “Can you at least not interfere in my life and work? Also, one year is too long. Three months. You must stop pestering me after three months.”


    Stop pestering her?


    She was really ruthless to him.


    Jasper turned around and grabbed Ste by the chin. “You don’t have the right to negotiate with me.”


    Ste got annoyed. She pped his hand off and gave him a sharp re. “How can you keep humiliating and dominating people? If you keep forcing someone, you will never win their heart.”


    Jasper stared daggers at her. “Let me get this straight, I have absolutely no interest in you. All I want is the past everyone keeps hiding from me. I couldn’t care less about ‘your heart’.”


    Ste pursed her lips and remained silent.


    Jasper realized that he was being too harsh. “Don’t make me angry again. Go and shower first.”
