Zoe was surprised to see Jasper. ‘Why is he here?‘ she wondered.

Her face darkened as she explained, “I slipped upstairs and ran into Ms. Hale. She helped me down. The fall really hurt, and I couldn’t help but tear up. Ms. Hale insisted on taking me to the hospital.”
“But what are you doing here?” she asked.
Zoe suspected Jasper was following her.
He was not just shameless, but also paranoid. Her recent habit of coming home late and leaving early must have made him suspicious.
Jasper narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Zoe. Seeing her slightly swollen eyes, he frowned, thinking, ‘Is she really just out and about, or is she scheming with Stella?”
“I was just handling some business nearby. As I walked past the entrance, I happened to see you with Stella,” he said.
A flash of murderous intent flickered in Jasper’s eyes as he warned, “Honey, did you forget our son is still in prison? And why is he there? It’s all because of her. From now on, keep your distance from her.”
Stella shot him a cold look. ‘His son totally had it coming. Why is he blaming me?‘ she wondered. ‘Serves him right.
“Jasper, you really have the nerve to air your family’s dirty laundry? If he hadn’t gone out looking for trouble, no one would have arrested him,” Zoe snapped.
“If he had just stayed home, would trouble have fallen from the sky?” she added, then stormed off in anger.
“Honey, wait up!” Jasper called, chasing after her. After a few steps, he shot a glare at Serena. “Serena, don’t you dare mess with Eliana’s happiness, or I’ll make you wish you were dead.”
After dropping that icy threat, he finally left, feeling pretty pleased with himself.
He was in a good mood today, all thanks to the hush money Eliana had slipped him.
But he knew he needed to get things moving with Dylan.
Serena watched him walk away, her crimson lips gleaming with a frosty, mocking smile.
Still fantasizing about those fleeting glories and riches?‘ she scoffed inwardly.
Eliana probably wouldn’t bother with Jasper anymore, but she’d keep him close just to use him against Serena.
A flash of murderous intent flickered in Serena’s eyes.
Jasper, I’ll just let Eliana take you down herself. No need for me to get my hands dirty, she thought coldly
Serena walked out slowly and once again found Dylan waiting by the roadside.
Serena frowned. Why is he here again?‘ she thought.
Not wanting to deal with him, Serena turned on her heel and walked off.
Dylan had come here to discuss a business deal, but he was surprised to spot Stella. Why is she with Mrs Lambert? he wondered.

Seeing her about to leave, he hurried after her.
“Stella, wait!” Dylan called out, rushing over and stepping in front of her.
