Chapter 310
256 youcheln
The next day, Miles found out that Jasper was having dinner with friends at a restaurant near his place.
He deliberately ordered takeout and made sure to walk right past Jasper and his friends.
Jasper’s eyes lit up when he saw Miles. “Mr. Carter, what brings you here?”
Miles looked surprised. “Well, if it isn’t Mr. Lambert. I’m here for work, got hungry, so I thought I’d grab something to take back to the office.”
“Oh, perfect timing! Why not join us? We’re just getting started,” Jasper said, trying to sound friendly. Everyone knows Miles is Dylan’s go–to guy.
Miles shook his head, looking a bit embarrassed. He said, “No, thanks, Mr. Lambert. I’m sure you’ve heard about all the drama between Mr. Lambert and Mr. Ashford.
“Mr. Ashford got played by Ms. Lambert. She even teamed up with others to snatch Ms. Hale’s kid and pulled a bunch of stunts that really hurt Mr. Ashford.
“They’ve split up now, so it’s best if we keep our distance. And about those billions Mr. Ashford gave the Lambert family, we’re planning to sue to get that money back.”
It felt like everything inside Jasper shattered.
It was like he’d just been sucker punched, his whole body aching.
‘What the hell is going on?‘ Jasper thought, his mind spinning.
‘Eliana actually played Dylan?‘ he wondered, disbelief flooding his mind.
‘And now Dylan wants the billions back?‘ Jasper’s heart sank.
‘No way, Jasper thought, panic rising. ‘All my assets are frozen, where am I supposed to pull that kind of cash from?”
Dylan gave up that money of his own free will. Sure, Jasper had pocketed a bit on the sly, but there was no way he was giving any of it back. Who in their right mind would let go of easy money like that?
But honestly, that wasn’t even the real kicker. What really blew his mind was that Eliana and Dylan had actually split up.
Jasper managed a weak smile. “Mr. Carter, you can’t be serious. Dylan is head over heels for Eliana. He’d drop billions for her in a heartbeat. Those two splitting up? Not a chance.”
Miles knew Jasper wouldn’t believe a word of it. He’d gotten so used to the easy benefits. It was basically second nature by
now.
With cash just falling into his lap, who’d ever want to give up a golden son–in–law like that?
Miles said, “Mr. Lambert, come on, why would I joke about something like this? They’ve been split up for almost a month. How could you not know? I thought you’d be the first to hear.
“Back when Mr. Ashford got into that car accident and ended up disabled, Ms. Lambert ditched him and ran off with the young master from the Lennox family. They even had a daughter together.
“Now, Mr. Ashford’s kid has already been handed back to Ms. Hale, and Ms. Lambert found her own daughter, too. She’s living with the Lennox family now, Seriously, you didn’t know any of this? And you’re her dad!

With that, Miles turned to place his order.
Jasper’s face instantly darkened, his eyes, usually greedy, now burning with rage.
“That brat!” Jasper seethed. ‘She ditched that idiot Dylan, who’d do anything for her, and ran off with some other guy? Unbelievable.’
Jasper looked at his buddy and said, “Man, I’ve lost my appetite. You finish up, I’ve got to go take care of something”
Jasper stormed out, fuming.
A cold smile tugged at Miles‘ lips. ‘About time Dylan finally saw the light, he thought.
He was so pumped last night, he didn’t get a single minute of sleep.
Outside, Jasper was seething, gritting his teeth in anger. He refused to believe a single word Miles had said. Without hesitating, he flagged down a cab and sped straight to the Ashford mansion.
Right now, Beatrice was having people look into Nolan’s assets.
But she hadn’t found much yet.
She knew Nolan had major holdings overseas.
With Dylan still out of sorts, she was dead set on grabbing everything she could before he got back on his feet.
Just as she was about to pick up the phone, she spotted the new butler hurrying in.
“Madam, Jasper is here to see Ms. Lambert. He’s waiting outside,” the butler reported.
Beatrice frowned, her eyes narrowing. ‘Why is Jasper showing up at my door now?‘ she thought, irritation bubbling up.
‘Is he here for more money again?‘ she wondered.
“That damn leech. I already forked over billions, and he still isn’t satisfied? If I hadn’t given him all that cash, my life wouldn’t be such a headache now, Beatrice fumed.
She snapped, “Get him out of here. If he refuses, have the bodyguards throw him out.”
