“Jasper, I asked you to sign the contract and marry Bettany because I didn’t want you to harass me anymore. I’m telling you the truth. It really wasn’t easy for me to get back with Frederick. If there’s still an ounce of pity left in you, please let me go,” Ste Grace pleaded in a low voice.


    Her pitiful disy broke Jasper, you could see it in his eyes.


    Seeing him in pain bore a hole in her heart.


    She knew she had a bad attitude; she was indifferent, moody, negative, and guarded.


    How on Earth did she get Jasper Milton to like her?


    She had no regrets. Even if she died now, she would die engulfed in his warmth. That was all she could ask for.


    From the beginning to the end, God had never been merciful to her.


    Her greatest act of kindness might be to let Jasper go.


    Jasper was really a good person, he was brave and responsible. His sense of duty and justice was impable.


    He deserved better.


    “I’m asking you onest question. Have you ever fallen in love with me?” Jasper asked, his chin tensed and fist clenched as he stared into her fiery eyes.


    “No,” Ste insisted.


    Jasper continued to stare at her. Her anger cooled like it was covered by December snow.


    She was caught between fire and ice.


    “Ste, I’ll ask you again. Think it over before you answer me. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you, even if you really saved me by making a deal with Frederick. You’d better think it over!” Jasper said, clearly agitated.


    Ste made her decision and raised her chin to meet his cold eyes. “I don’t care whether you forgive me or not,” she answered indifferently.


    Jasper released her hand and swiped at the vase next to her.


    The vase fell to the ground with a crash.


    Ste didn’t even flinch.


    Hearing themotion, Rond Cher peered through the door worriedly.


    Jasper pushed Rond away roughly and strode out.


    That day, she knew she had lost the man she loved the most, who also loved her the most. Tears finally rolled down her cheeks.


    “What’s wrong?” Rond asked, concerned.


    Ste gazed at the direction Jasper had disappeared to. “I love him. I love him so much. I love him so, so much.”


    The corner of her mouth twitched into a bitter smile as she picked up the notebook from the floor. She then turned around went back to her room.


    Rond was confused as he stood rooted in the living room.


    Women would still feel sad even if they knew that they had made the right choice.


    The sadness was overwhelming, like an engulfing flood. She could only weep.


    She clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to smash the things in the room to vent her feelings.


    She knew that she was in a bad state now, but she just couldn’t control herself anymore.


    She had an impulse to smash something.


    She held her head and squatted on the ground as her grief washed over her.


    She didn’t want to be a mental patient. Who could help her? She didn’t want to save her life, she just wanted rity.


    “Aahhh!” she screamed as she looked up to God with pleading eyes.


    Unfortunately, God had never granted her relief.


    Rond heard Ste’s scream followed by the sound of things hitting the floor.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    He knocked on the door worriedly. “Ste, are you okay?”


    Ste opened the door and regarded him coldly.


    Seeing the mess in the room, Rond looked at Ste in surprise.


    “I’ll pay for the damages. I have something to do now, could I please borrow your mobile phone,” Ste said calmly.


    Rond handed his phone to her. He thought she was acting inexplicably strange.


    Ste skillfully dialed a number.


    Jasper answered. “What’s the matter?” he asked sulkily.


    “Listen up, I sent you the notebook. You lost some memories, so I’ll walk you through it.


    When State Mayor Cher was assassinated, Zoah Davis suspected that you were responsible because your father once asked for thend from him. Zoah threatened you into marrying Katty Davis.


    You went to Tavers Vige with Ste Grace and found Timmy Nine. Before he was assassinated, he gave a video of him assassinating the State Mayor to Ste.


    You and Ste promised Timmy that you would find the people who ughtered the vige.


    I think Ste searched out the people who ughtered the vige to help you cover your tracks.


    Theptop contains the location of the treasure map. Come and take the notebook. From now on, don’t get involved with Ste anymore, then maybe she’ll live a little longer.”


    Jasper listened to Ste in surprise. “Who are you?” he asked.


    Ste smiled to herself and said, “I’m the one who protects Ste Grace. No one will hurt her from now on.”


    She hung up.


    Rond stared at Ste in shock. “What’s wrong with you? Why…”


    “Why do you look like you’ve be another person?” Ste asked.


    “You said you were the one who protects Ste Grace,” Rond said inquisitively.


    “That’s right, it’s for my protection. Is there a problem?” Ste immediately retorted.


    Rond didn’t know what to say.


    He once watched a movieabout split personalitycalled Fatal ID.


    When a person’s personality was split, the person cannot remember anything that happened during the episode.


    The other personality, on the other hand, would remember everything clearly.


    “I need to wash my face,” Ste said. She handed the phone back to Rond and closed the door.


    She went into the bathroom and washed her face. Looking at her anxious face in the mirror, she tapped her fingers on the sink and said, “Ste, have a good rest. You will no longer feel pain, despair, sadness, and powerlessness.


    Leave the rest to me. I’ll do whatever you want to do.


    And I will apany you for three months as you had wished me to. Don’t worry. No one else in this world could protect you and there is no one else you could depend on, but I will protect you and never leave your side.”


    “Knock knock knock.” Someone knocked on the door anxiously.


    Ste looked at the door and smiled. She opened it and went out.


    Jasper rushed in and grabbed Ste’s shoulder. “What do you mean by what you said just now?” he asked, visibly agitated.


    Ste handed him the notebook and said, “Do what you should do. Also, please give me my bag.”


    “You threw away that bag. Do you want to go back now?”


    “I got rid of it because I didn’t want you or Frederick to find me. Now that you have, of course I want it back,” Ste said confidently.


    “Did you just say that you didn’t want Frederick or me to find you? Didn’t you say that you loved Frederick? Why didn’t you want Frederick to find you? Ste, what do you mean? Tell me clearly.” Jasper looked at Ste suspiciously. Something was definitely wrong.
