The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 48

A sleek black Maybach S680 tore down the highway. Even highways had speed limits, so a speeding ticket was absolutely guaranteed at this rate.

Jasper turned around in the passenger seat to look at Zane, who was currently buttoning his dress shirt in the back. "Boss, were you hiding a woman last night?"

Zane kept his head down, focused on his buttons. "Yes, your sister came by twice."

"So my sister finally got her way? Am I officially upgrading to brother-in-law again?"

"In your dreams."

Jasper's eyes darted around suspiciously. "Then why didn't you let me drive you this morning?"

"Because your trashy car is too noisy."

Jasper wasn't buying it. "You totally had someone stashed in your apartment, didn't you?"

"Shut up."

If he refused to ride in Jasper's car, it meant there was definitely a woman at his place, and he had to drop her off without anyone finding out.

It definitely wasn't that wild Vance girl, Vivian. She was absolutely fearless; she was already with Gideon Grant but still had the audacity to flirt with Zane.

Could it be Mrs. Sterling?

A mature man and a mature woman spending the night together...

Jasper glanced at the exposed abs near the bottom of Zane's unbuttoned shirt. "My sister complains all the time that you can't get it up, so how was your performance last night?"

Zane couldn't even be bothered to argue. "Driver, pull over at the next rest stop and throw him out."

"Did my sister ruin your mood?"

"Pull over. Get the hell out."

Elara brought up the divorce with her parents again.

She also explained Julian's stance, noting that he would most likely refuse to agree.

In their social circle, families were deeply intertwined—what benefited one benefited the other, and a downfall was shared equally. It was the same for the Vance and Sterling families.

The only difference was who stood to lose more.

That was why most wealthy couples chose to maintain the illusion of a happy marriage while living separate lives.

Living without love was one thing, but living a lie was entirely different. Elara simply couldn't do it.

Elara made her absolute determination to divorce crystal clear.

Vivian completely supported her sister.
