“Jasper, stop lying to yourself! You showing up now isn’t about making it up to me. You did it to soothe that belated pang of guilt cating you alive.”
Noelle’s words hit Jasper dead on. He jerked his head up, pupils shrinking, all the color draining from his face. What she said was exactly the truth he refused to admit even to himself.
Seeing the abrupt change in his expression, Noelle sneered even harder. “Hit the mark, didn’t I? You’re not. thinking about me at all. You just want to use ‘making it up to me‘ to make yourself feel better, to convince yourself you’re not completely beyond saving. The only thing you’ve ever cared about is how
“That’s not true! I…”
Jasper tried desperately to argue back, only to realize how weak and empty his words sounded.
you feel!”
In front of Noelle’s eyes, which seemed able to see through everything, all his excuses were ridiculous and useless.
“Noelle, I really did want to treat you like a sister and take good care of you,” he said with difficulty.
“Don’t. You should just keep being Viola’s good brother. You do that job pretty well. She managed to latch onto a Kingstowne elite family because of you, didn’t she? I’m actually curious what methods you used to help her cling to the Guzmans.”
Jasper’s face turned ashen. His lips moved, but no sound came out.
Noelle hadn’t expected him to answer anyway.
She’d find out the truth herself.
“Viola latching onto the Guzmans doesn’t mean she’s safe forever. What I’m owed, I’ll take back. And what you and the Kains owe me–yeah, I’ll take that too. You all better watch yourselves.”
With that, Noelle didn’t waste another word on him and turned to leave.
Sebastian had arranged a car to pick her up at the night market entrance. Noelle got in.
What Jasper had just done really made her sick.
She narrowed her eyes. She’d planned to act after returning from IBI, but now it seemed she had to move
sooner.
The net around Gresham could start tightening.
Noelle took out her phone and sent a message.
After Noelle left, Jasper stood there for a long time. He walked over to the trash can, bent down, and reached in to pick up the gift Noelle had thrown away.
He held the gift box in his palm and, surprisingly, didn’t feel it was dirty at all.

Chapter 189 Get Out!
After a long while.
His phone rang.
Jasper picked it up and answered.
“Mr. Kain! Something’s wrong! Come home quickly! Your father brought a woman back!”

The Kain’s estate.
“Jasper, from today on, this is your mother. You need to treat her well, understand?
“And your mother is already pregnant. You must take good care of her. If she’s wronged in any way, or if something happens to the baby, I won’t let you off!”
“Dad, Mom just went to prison, and you already brought another woman home?”
Jasper stood at the entrance of the living room, his face as dark as iron as he stared at the scene in front of him.
Gresham had an arm around a young, flashy woman. She looked barely in her early 20s, her lower belly slightly swollen, and she shot Jasper a smug look.
“Watch your mouth!” Gresham frowned in displeasure. “That shrew nearly destroyed the Kains. If she hadn’t instigated things, would I have kicked Noey out? Now that she’s in prison, it’s exactly what she deserves!”
Jasper clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. “So you couldn’t wait to bring this … this woman back? It’s only been a few days since Mom went in!”
“Mind your tone!” Gresham shot to his feet. “This is Louise. From now on, she’s the lady of this house!”
Louise Morrison leaned delicately against Gresham. “Honey, don’t be mad. It’s normal for Jasper to have trouble accepting it at first.”
She turned to Jasper, a calculating glint flashing in her eyes. “Jasper, I know this is hard for you to take in right now, but your father and I truly love each other. Besides…”
She gently stroked her belly. “There’s already your little brother or sister in here. From now on, we’re one family.”
“A prostitute like you thinks she’s worthy of stepping through the Kains‘ doors?” Jasper’s voice was icy, his gaze sharp as a blade as it fell on Louise. “Dad, are you trying to disgrace the Kains even more?”
