The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 106

"Beautiful, strong, and tragic?" Zane raised an eyebrow, not fully grasping the slang.

Jasper explained, "You have to admit Mrs. Sterling's husband is a good-looking guy."

Zane cut him off, thoroughly annoyed. "Can't you just call him Mr. Sterling? Stop saying 'Mrs. Sterling' every five seconds!"

"I didn't call her Mrs. Sterling either."

"Do you want to be fired?"

"Fine, you're the boss," Jasper continued explaining. "Strong means beating the crap out of that sleaze in public, showing his true alpha side. With security holding the other guy back, the whole scene was basically Julian's MVP highlight reel."

"Do you know how heroic that looks to a woman? But since it actively sabotages your chances of stealing his wife, I decided not to record it."

Zane shot him a withering glare. "You're single. What makes you think you understand women?"

"Aren't you single too?"

"At least I've been successful before."

"Successful at getting my sister to divorce you?"

"Get out! You're fired."

"See? The truth hurts, but it's the only thing that works." Jasper wasn't phased in the slightest. "Julian is in the hospital. Ms. Vance is definitely going to rush over there, her heart bleeding for him."

"Think about it. Holding his IV drip, supporting his waist, helping him to the bathroom, pulling his pants up... do you know how intimate that gets?"

"Julian says a couple of sweet words, and boom, they're back together by tonight. Kissing, making up, the prince and princess living happily ever after."

Hearing this, Zane suddenly remembered how Elara had helped Julian in the bathroom before. They were married—she already knew exactly how to handle him...

At that thought, his heart completely shattered.

"What about the tragic part?"

Still asking? Jasper was speechless. "The tragic part is you! All that effort for absolutely nothing!"

"You're bending over backwards trying to fund her company. In the end, her crisis is solved, she and her husband are madly in love again, and where does that leave you?"

"You, the philanthropist, the backup man, the absolute NPC, will instantly be written out of her story."

"You'll spend the rest of your life watching from the sidelines, desperately waiting, freezing in the cold. Your only purpose was to push the plot forward so their love could grow stronger after the storm."

Zane: "..."
