Chapter 12
Jasper was unfazed. Staring at Nadine’s tear–streaked face, he gritted out in a cold tone, “I only married you to fulfill your wish. It’s not an excuse for you to cross the line.”
Nadine was stunned. She shouted in a high–pitched voice, “To fulfill my wish? Then, what about the time you kissed me for three hours, not wanting to stop? What about the times we were intimate?
“Jasper Price, have you never loved me, not even a little? You were the one who kicked Holly aside and allowed me to take her place!”
A loud slap sounded. Jasper hit her hard across the face.
Caught off–guard, Nadine toppled over because of the impact. Her fair skin turned red and
swollen.
She looked up at him in disbelief. She sounded tearful as she asked, “Did you just hit me, Jasper? Is Holly that important to you? Then, what about me? What am I to you? I’ve loved you for years!”
She shrieked hysterically, “You clearly love me, too! You treat me differently from other women! You also have feelings for me, don’t you?”
However, Jasper’s gaze was as cold as ever.
Knowing she could no longer salvage the situation, Nadine hung her head and smirked. ” Jasper, do you really think I was the one who drove Holly away?”
Her head snapped back up, a crazed look of indignance and scorn shining in her tempted me first! You doted on me, telling everyone that I was special! You introduced me to
eyes. “You your friends and cast Holly aside again and again just to meet me.”
She bellowed, “You even gave up your principles–you kissed me and slept with me! You divorced her for me! You were the one who enabled me! Now that she’s gone, you blame me for everything. You’re heartless, Jasper!”
Her words added fuel to the wrath Jasper was already in. Unable to hold back his temper any longer, he dragged her up from the floor and clasped his fingers around her neck.
Feeling suffocated, Nadine struggled for dear life. Her pointed nails left numerous wounds on Jasper’s hands. However, he seemed oblivious to the pain, aid his fingers tightened more and more around her neck.
Her face changed from a shade of red to green, slowly turning purple. Her despair–filled eyes gradually bulged, and it seemed they were losing the light in them.”
Just as Nadine thought Jasper would strangle her to death, his friends finally arrived. They paled at what they witnessed and quickly rescued her.

Cool air gushed into her airways, and she started coughing uncontrollably.
Jasper had lost all reason. Not wanting to let it slile, he flailed desperately against his friends, who were holding him back. His punches landed on them. Although it hurt, they dared not release their hold on him.
“Jasper, calm down! Finding Holly comes first.”
“That’s right. Nadine can’t go anywhere. We can get even with her later on.”
After listening to them, Jasper finally stopped lashing out.
He cast a final glance at Nadine, slumped on the floor. Without looking back, he left.
Nadine was filled with reluctance. She was so close to having everything she wanted. Why was everything ruined just because Holly ran away?
On the same day, she started a livestream despite the commotion on the Internet. In the stream, she seemed pitiful and endearing as she narrated a different perspective of the story.
“Although Jasper is my uncle, we are in love with each other. He has divorced his wife, so now, I’ll bravely try to win his love. Nothing stands in our way!”
With reddened eyes, she ended her story with a statement that stirred up a storm.
