Chapter 125 Jasper’s Heartbreaking Confession
As the words left his mouth, it felt like a knife twisting in his chest. Breathing became hard. His lips trembled. “Next life… don’t love Jasper anymore.”
Then he coughed–a violent, wrenching sound–and blood sprayed from his lips, mixing with the rain. He laughed, hollow and broken. “But Jasper will love Nicole. Every lifetime. Every single one.”
“Mr. Moore…”
He crumpled into the rain.

The internet exploded. Every trending topic pointed at the Moores. Amber, in particular, became the face of public outrage.
[She acted like she owned the city just because she was a Moore. Turns out she’s not even related.]
[Can we talk about Felix? Slandering Nirvana, forcing his wife to raise another woman’s kid, lying to her face for decades. Actually disgusting.]
[I’m just gonna say it was the real Moore heiress… you know…?]
[Someone needs to organize a class–action lawsuit against Amber.]
[Wait, wasn’t the guy Amber was obsessed with Jasper? Oh no. My brain is connecting dots. Did Amber have something to do with Nicole’s death?]
[I think you’re onto something.]
[Stella, look over here!!]
[How do you have a granddaughter like Queen and spend all your energy trying to tear her down? Meanwhile, he’s protecting Sienna–who isn’t even his blood.]
[He’s garbage. Can’t appreciate his own family but worships the memory of some woman who’s been dead for years. Pathetic.]
Mark ran from crisis to crisis, barely keeping up. Felix’s legal troubles. The Moore name in ruins. Tomorrow’s stock prices were already circling the drain.

Chapter 125 Jasper’s Heartbreaking Confession
Leo stayed with Felix, who had collapsed after the confrontation.
He never thought he’d see the day–Felix, who raised him to believe the family name came before everything, caught up in something this ugly.
Amber had feelings for his uncle. Had actually tried to seduce him.
And she was the daughter of his grandfather’s lost love.
His real aunt had died young.
And his father–the man he’d always seen as weak, as blindly obedient–had finally stood up for something.
Small victories, he guessed.
He exhaled slowly. This whole thing was a bomb.
“Leo. How’s your grandfather?”
Amber paced the room, twisting her hands.
“Maybe don’t add to his problems right now.”
She was a grown woman. Acted like a child.
“Leo. I’m still your aunt.”
“He’s unconscious. You want him to fix your PR disaster too?”
“I don’t want to bother him. But your father won’t take my calls. Won’t see me.”
“The company’s falling apart. Leave my dad alone.”
Amber tried a different approach–softer, warmer.

“Leo. Help me. If this keeps up, the Moore name burns. We’re all in this together. When one of us sinks, we all sink.”
Leo’s smile was thin. “You want me to pick fights with my uncle, with Elias, and with the Shaws? All at once? For you?”
Amber’s face tightened.
Sienna sat pale and still. “Mom. You don’t think Grandpa will cut us loose, do you?”
“You’re overthinking it. He loves us. Besides-”
Amber’s eyes hardened. “I still have leverage.”
Sienna felt a sliver of relief.
But her real worry was Felix. As long as he was alive, they had a chance. If he died–if Mark cut them off-

they’d have nothing.
“Mom. You need a backup plan.”
“I know.”
Amber’s eyes narrowed.
Felix didn’t have long. She could feel it.
She needed to secure what she could. While she still could.
