Jasper's eyes narrowed in fury. He went berserk and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her violently.

"I'm despicable? Me? Ariana, are you sure you even know who's the despicable one? Do you know what the hell you're talking about? You say you're in love with Theodore? How dare you have feelings for that guy! What kind of shining knight do you think he is? You're naive! You're only being fooled by him! You're an idiot!"

"So what? I do what I want to do. It's none of your business," Ariana retorted coldly, unperturbed by his outburst. She didn't want to be a doormat to him. She glared daggers at him, infuriated.

Jasper stared at her in disbelief. Dazed by her reply, he loosened his grip on her shoulders. He asked in a low voice, “Why are you acting like this? What did Theodore do to you? We were together for three years. You've only been married to him for a month. How has your mind changed so drastically?"

Jasper's outrage had only disappeared for a moment. As he spoke, his voice rose higher and higher, and soon he was roaring at her in fury

Ariana wasn't frightened. Rather, she was irritated by the nerve he had to talk to her Like this. She snapped sarcastically, “Don't pretend like you're perfect, Jasper. We both know who betrayed our relationship first."

Jasper froze. He goggled at her in silence for a moment before he suddenly burst out laughing like a lunatic. He pinched Ariana's chin between his fingers and lifted her face, forcing her to look at him. Then he leaned closer and said, “You're just saying this to piss me off, aren't you? You're trying to take revenge on me because I'm with Brielle."

Ariana was shocked by Jasper's ludicrous allegations. She gazed at him in bewilderment and asked incredulously, “Jasper. Don't tell me you regret it, do you?"

Jasper was stunned for a moment. A complicated expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he seemed to be struggling.

Jasper lowered his head in anguish. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, as if he was holding something back.

Ariana knew Jasper well and could immediately tell what he was thinking.

She felt a feeling of disgust surge inside her. She would much prefer being used in an emotionless way, rather than hearing this bastard telling her he Loved her.

Slowly, Jasper raised his head. His eyes were full of confusion.

“I don't know whether I regret it or not," he said in a low voice.

“But I'm sure that I'LL never be happy with you falling in love with Theodore. You can love anyone except him!"

His expression turned ferocious. He leaned in to kiss her.

“Fuck off!" Ariana turned to dodge his kiss. She slapped him across the face.

This seemed to sober Jasper up a little. His hand touched his face and he seemed to be in a daze. Then he glared at Ariana coldly. Through gritted teeth, he said, "Just wait and see. Sooner or later I'm going to destroy Theodore. And then..."

“Jasper, what are you doing with my sister?" Brielle's sudden appearance interrupted Jasper mid-threat.

He cursed silently, and reluctantly backed away.
