The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 91

Zane's scheme didn't pan out, but Jasper's did flawlessly.

During their family dinner that evening, Jasper faked a phone call, making sure his sister Jocelyn overheard every word.

He told the imaginary person on the other end to stop being so annoying, loudly declaring that his boss wasn't interested in girls like her.

Taking the bait perfectly, Jocelyn demanded the details.

Jasper casually mentioned that a girl had rear-ended Zane's car and was now demanding marriage as compensation for the accident.

Jasper skewed the story just enough. To Jocelyn, it sounded like some delusional gold-digger had purposely crashed into a luxury car just to sink her claws into Zane.

Jocelyn scoffed coldly. Were there really women in the city this blind and desperate?

A couple of days later, Jasper invited the girl to the office under the guise of settling the accident claim.

Normally, insurance companies handled these matters, and the car owner never had to lift a finger. So Jasper spun a lie, claiming his boss wanted to offer her extra compensation for the inconvenience of being without a vehicle.

Cynthia Grant instantly took the excuse to heart. She was convinced the wealthy man was using this as an opportunity to see her and establish a connection.

When she realized the office address belonged to the Whitaker Group, her heart soared with glee.

Even when the blind, rude assistant gave her attitude, she tolerated it with a sweet smile.

She thought maliciously, I'll have you fired sooner or later!

Jasper couldn't be bothered to entertain her. He didn't even offer her a glass of water.

Cynthia was still sitting in the reception room, lost in her grand daydreams, when Jocelyn pushed the door open and walked in.

Jocelyn Yale was a woman of ruthless action and few words. She didn't care who you were; she'd walk right up and slap the taste out of your mouth.

Truth be told, Jocelyn thought the girl looked faintly familiar, but she couldn't place the face right away.

Cynthia was a fresh face in their social circles because her academic performance had been abysmal. The high schools in the capital were fiercely competitive, and the Grant family, too embarrassed to send her to a bottom-tier school, had shipped her abroad early on.

She had lived overseas for years, only returning for major events or the holidays, which was why Jocelyn couldn't immediately recognize her.

But Cynthia recognized Jocelyn instantly. She was the infamous she-devil of the city.

Her overbearing cruelty struck terror into the hearts of every woman in their circle—and the men were terrified of her, too.
