Jasper’s anger flared even hotter, his expression darkening. “I’ve spoiled her too much. Every time something doesn’t go her way, she throws a fit. She’d better never come back!”
He stormed into his study and slammed the door.
Chloe’s face twisted into a triumphant, vicious smile. She would never give Allison a chance to return. In this house, it was either her or Allison–and it wouldn’t be Allison.
Jasper dropped into his office chair and yanked irritably at his
tie.
His eyes fell on his phone sitting on the desk.
Throughout his entire business trip, Allison hadn’t called him once hadn’t even sent a single text. That had never happened
before.
Since she clearly didn’t want to live here anymore, she might as well take all her things from her room and leave for good.
Jasper grabbed his phone and dialed Allison’s number.
He waited and waited, but it went straight to voicemail.
His expression grew even darker.
She must know I took Chloe on the business trip and is throwing another tantrum.

Even though she was handling everything with case and her spot was already secured, she didn’t want to give anyone the slightest reason for disappointment, not after having rejected the school once before.
The next day at noon, as she left the school building, Allison felt a dull ache starting in her abdomen. A trip to the restroom. confirmed what she suspected–her period.
Calling it her nightmare would be an understatement. The pain. was absolutely brutal.
She wanted to take her usual painkillers but then remembered they were back in her room at Jasper’s place.
She’d have to buy some from the convenience store instead.
By the time she reached the school gates, cold sweat was beading on her forehead from the pain. She gritted her teeth, trying to endure it.
When Allison looked up, she saw Jasper stepping out of a luxury car. His tall frame and coldly handsome features radiated an untouchable presence that made every girl passing by steal glances and blush.

“Why didn’t you answer when I called?” His voice was cold and demanding.
Facing his accusatory tone, Allison replied, “Does it matter?”
“How long are you planning to keep this up? If you hadn’t ruined the contract signing, do you think I would have taken. Chloe on that business trip?” Jasper’s voice was low and controlled, but his patience was clearly wearing thin.
Allison was about to respond when a violent cramp tore through her abdomen. She let out an involuntary moan and swayed forward.
Jasper pulled her into his arms, his eyes taking in her pale complexion with concern. “Not feeling well?”
So that’s why she didn’t pick up. She wasn’t feeling well.
The pain was overwhelming. Allison’s hand desperately clutched at Jasper’s crisp sleeve like she was grasping for driftwood in at
stormy sea.
In the past, whenever she felt unwell, Jasper would hold her close and comfort her. The familiar warmth made her throat
tighten with emotion in her vulnerable state.
“Jasper, could you help me-” She was about to ask him to buy painkillers when a sweet voice interrupted.
Basper, did you come looking for me?”

Allison’s mind snapped back to clarity. She quickly pulled herself upright from Jasper’s embrace and stepped back, putting distance
en them.
Chloe bounded over, acting as if she’d just noticed Allison.
“Allie? Oh, you’re here too! Jasper came to take me to lunch. Why don’t you join us?”
When Jasper didn’t deny it, the truth hit her like a slap. He had come to find Chloe. And just used the chance to interrogate her on the side.
“Allie, you look terrible. Are you feeling sick? Let me check on you.” Chloe moved forward with fake concern.
Allison frowned and jerked her arm away in disgust.
“Ah!” Chloe stumbled backward with a startled cry, falling directly into Jasper’s waiting arms.
She looked up at Allison with wounded eyes. “Allie, why did you push me? I was just trying to help. Is this because I went to Sir Sterling’s birthday party? And Jasper took me on that business trip? I already apologized to you when we got back to school.”
Allison hadn’t pushed her at all. She lifted her eyes to meet Jasper’s ice–cold stare.
