Chapter 38 A Match of Equals
Zelda had been publicly humiliated by Jasper, and to make matters worse, Brandon had been suspended for a month because of it. She was too afraid to show her face, but the resentment
Back when she was fifteen sixteen, Zeka hadlentlessly pursued Jasper for nearly two years. But no matter how hard she tried, he never even spared her a glance.
frustrated, she switched targets and started going after Bandon instead. Sure, random wasn’t as outstanding as Jasper, but within Zelda’s social circle, he was the best man she could realistically rekh
Lates, Zella went to Korylen, while Jasper went to the Osmo. Then, when she returned, she heard he had moved to Grunland–and even had a girlfriend. A woman named Cassandra
Curious about the kind of woman Jasper would actually fall for, Zelda had done some digging at the time,
Cassandra’s mother was Zhanese and a doctor of medicine, while her father was an Chemo–Grunland businessman who owned a pharmaceutical company.
With a mixed heritage from three countries, Cassandra was not only stunning and fit. She could have easily made a living off her looks, but instead, she was an incredibly skilled.
With a background like that, even if Zelda felt jealous, she had to admit this was the kind of woman who truly matched Jasper. A perfect fit in both family background and status.
Thinking about Cassandra and then looking at Ingrid, Zelda just couldn’t w
her head around it. Why would Jasper suddenly date a no–name orthopedic marse?
Curled up im her room, she dialed a friend who was studying in Grunlan
Zelda asked. “Hey, do you have Jasper’s contact info? I need to reach him for something”
The friend replied, “No I know who he is, but he doesn’t know me. Also, jasper returned home a month ago. I heard he’s at Praeheart Hospital in York City.”
Zelda ferged surprise. “He’s bark
“Yeah. Probably to see his girlfriend.”
Zelda narrowed her eyes. “I thought his girlfriend worked overseas?*
Her friend clarified, “She transferred to Peaceheart six months ago. Jasper was stuck finishing a project at the time, but I guess he finally wrapped it up and went to join her.” Zelda pretended to ask casually “Same girl? The mixed–race doctor?
“Yeah Jasper seems like a player, but he’s actually really loyal. I’ve heard of so many women chasing him, but he never messes around”
After a bit more small talk, Zelda hung up, feeling like she had just made a major discovery.
She pulled up Peaceheart’s website and searched through the Cardiothoracic Surgery department. And there it was–Cassandra’s name on the first page, listed as a Professor of Treatment Zelda clicked on her profile. Even in the tiny thumbnail, she could see the deep, stilling features Cassandra had her halt up and wore glasses as if trying to downplay her looks, but her beauty was impossible to hide.
It was her. Jasper’s longtime girlfriend.
So the people overseas thought Jasper had come to Peaceheart for Cassandra.but in reality, he was dating Ingrid? Something had definitely happened between Jasper and Cassandra. Zelda’s instincts kicked in immediately–there had to be a reason jasper was with ingrid
It wasn’t that Ingrid was bad. It was just that Cassandra was too exceptional–just like how Brandon had only treated Ingrid as a casual fling
Brandon himself had said so–Ingrid was just a fling: Sure, he had later regreted it, but Zelda didn’t believe he truly cared for her. He just couldn’t handle the fact that she had cheated on
Zelda had originally planned to throw a tantrum to get Brandon back. But now that Jasper had stepped in, that chance was gone
She clenched her teeth Hresentment. It wasn’t that she wanted to go against Jasper–it was he who didn’t care about the damage he caused her.
– going to be ruthless, she’d return the favor. All she needed now was to figure out exactly what had happened between Jasper and Cassandra… Meanwhile, at home, Jasper was craving buffalo wings for dinner Ingid pulled out a variety of sauces from Wales City and kicked him out of the kitchen. Just as Jasper stepped out, his phone rang. It was a number with no saved naine.
He answered “Hriba?”
Jasper frowned. “Hello?”
Two seconds later, a woman’s voice came through. “Let’s meet”
Jasper’s face darkened instantly. “I’m with my girlfriend. Don’t call me again.”
