Chapter 12 A Twist
“Gather all evidence of Jasper’s infidelity,” Alexander commanded the person on the other end of the phone.
The moment those words were uttered, it was essentially a declaration of taking legal action. The only possible outcome would be Jasper leaving the marriage with nothing, years of his hard work flushed down the drain overnight.
Regaining his composure, Jasper finally couldn’t hold back, shouting, “You can’t do this, Evian! You were the one who started everything, so why blame me now? Yes, I’m with Sienna, but I’ve also given you the status of being my wife. What more do you want?”
His shameless remarks left the Quirk family utterly flabbergasted and furious.
“Did I beg to be your wife?” Evian asked incredulously, seething with resentment.
Choked, Jasper retorted, “Your family’s influence pressured me into doing that! Given the situation back then, could I have continued in the medical field if I hadn’t married you?” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Evian nearly cried from the overwhelming rage. “Jasper, your hypocrisy is truly sickening.”
Jasper was stunned. It was his first time to see Evian lashing out at him like that.
Evian finally came to her senses! She’s right, Jasper is exactly the kind of person to kick a benefactor in the teeth!
Initially on the verge of tears, Evian, upon hearing Isabelle’s thoughts, immediately steeled herself, defiantly lifted her chin, and glared fiercely at Jasper.
“You’re nothing but a freeloader!”
Evian had called Jasper by his most despised nickname “What did you just say, Evian!”
“I’m calling you a freeloader that lives off others with your mistress like a pair of parasites. You both have no shame, nonc!”
“Evian, you b*tch! Who are you calling a mistress? You’re the one who stole my man and everything else from me! You’re the one who has no shame!” Perhaps finally understanding what was happening. Sienna on the other end of the line, having heard the commotion, finally burst out swearing..
She would never forget what Evian owed her. The repulsiveness she felt when Evian slept with her boyfriend.
They had broken up in the heat of an argument. Yet, Evian wasted no time climbing into Jasper’s bed. It was a profound shock to the past Sienna.
After discovering her pregnancy, she swallowed her resentment and sought out Jasper. However, she Jearned that Jasper had been forced into marriage with Evian.
She contemplated terminating the pregnancy but couldn’t bring herself to do it, until…..
“Then, why didn’t you try to get him back all these years? Your man refused to divorce for the sake of power, and you’re nothing more than a mistress, what right do you have to make a fuss?” Evian retorted

sharply as if a switch had been turned.
“That’s because your family used their power to throw your weight around by threatening Jasper’s future? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have swallowed my pride. Even if he didn’t marry me, he would’ve always loved and protected me, leaving you b*tch alone in an empty room. That’s your deserved retribution.”
Isabella couldn’t help but think. It seems that Jasper is quite the manipulator. He has completely fooled his mistress.
Evian scoffed, “I may be a fool, Sienna, but so are you. Jasper, you knew very well whether my family threatened you! Yet, you still want to play the victim now? You’re trying to threaten me with the moral high ground? It’s clear that you chose to ride on my family’s tailcoat for your own future, abandoning your so–called true love! Don’t slander me because I won’t stand for it!”
Evian was trampling Jasper’s pride with her remarks. Jasper’s features contorted as if she had guessed his most shameful thoughts deep within his heart.
Immediately. Sienna defended, “Don’t you dare slander Jasper.”
Evian suddenly found the situation quite amusing and promptly responded, “Fine, if that’s what you all think, let’s play along then. After I divorce him, you’ll understand what it means to be threatened and what it feels like to be bullied by the powerful!”
The threat that came from the lips of the eldest daughter of the Quirk family was no laughing matter.
Immediately, Jasper blurted out, “Evian, how did you end up like this!”
“Hah, just as I thought. Worried? So, you’re saying, you knew all along that the Quirk family had no intention of harming you!” Evian’s mind finally cleared, becoming sharp and alert.
Jasper truly had no room for argument by that point.
Upon seeing Evian’s demeanor, Paula finally realized that she wasn’t the same daughter–in–law who used to cling to her son. With tears welling in her eyes, she quickly reached out, wanting to grasp Evian’s hand.
“Evie, I’ll never accept her, and Jasper just lost his way. Please give him another chance, consider it as a plea from me! Just look at the state he’s in right now after a beating, he has suffered enough.”
However, Selena shielded Evian like a mama bear protecting her cubs.
In turn, Paula grabbed Jasper, forcing him to apologize. “Come on, say something! Apologize! Do you want to see our family fall into ruin?”
Paula nearly brought Jasper to his knees, his eyes gradually filling with panic. After an intense internal struggle, he finally found the courage to speak. “I won’t divorce, Evie. I was wrong, and it was just my pride unwilling to accept my loss. In reality, I do care about you, I-”
“Jasper Sienna shouted.
Is there even a need to keep up the charade anymore at this point? Was what Evian said true? Has Jasper deceived me?
Shut up!” Before Sienna could say another word. Jasper yelled at her.
His flexibility in accepting temporary setbacks is truly revolting. Isabella couldn’t help but curse.

Chapter 12 A Twist
With a cold snort, Alexander shattered Jasper’s illusion. The evidence of your infidelity is irrefutable. Jasper, you have no choice in this matter, so stop your theatrics.”
Jasper frantically turned to Evian, but all he could see was the disgust in her eyes,
When Evian tore her gaze away, refusing to look at him, Jasper finally realized that all the nails had been hammered in the coffin.
Jasper’s scolding had caused Sienna to lose all composure. “Jasper, don’t forget about the child-
As if struck by lightning, Jasper shouted in horror, “I told you to shut up! Do you want to lose the child you’re carrying? Do you have a death wish?”
A child? Sienna’s pregnant? The entire Quirk family was appalled by the news.
Even Sean seemed to have just found out, looking utterly dumbfounded.
Perhaps it was Jasper’s harsh tone, for Sienna wilted immediately.
Jasper’s expression shifted several times before finally resigning to his fate. He stood up, his body covered. in injuries, and with one hand, he held onto the sobbing Paula and grabbed Sean’s arm with the other.
“I admit I’ve wronged Evie and am willing to divorce. You can take revenge on me in any way you see fit. I just hope that the others won’t be implicated.”
Suddenly, it was as if he had become a different person He decisively and swiftly turned around, losing any desire to engage in the argument.
Did he flee so quickly because he was afraid we’d beat him up again? Isabella couldn’t help but wonder.
Isabella always felt that Jasper’s change of attitude was too abrupt. She had assured that such a shameless person would stubbornly pester longer.
The Quirk family didn’t give it much thought. At that moment, they wished nothing more than for the Lawsons to disappear from their sight, not wanting to breathe the same air as them any longer.
The Lawsons walked away. Only Sean dared sneak a glance back at the crowd.
Amid Evian’s sorrow, she inexplicably lifted her gaze from Selena’s embrace. When her eyes met Sean’s, she felt a sudden jolt to her heart.
Noticing Sean’s actions, Jasper, who was holding onto him, suddenly gave a strong tug.
Sean was jerked forward, stumbling in the process. As he lifted his head, he saw the menacing expression on Jasper’s face.
Fear engulfed Sean immediately.
Jasper withdrew his resentful gaze and gritted his teeth. He had his back to the Quirk family, and his lips curved into a cruel smile.
Evian and the Quirk family, you’ll regret humiliating me!
Excitement twisted Jasper’s features.

Watching the bad people leaving. Isabella couldn’t help but complain silently. He wouldn’t have to reap what he sowed if he hadn’t crossed the line. All I can say is, justice has been served.
Alexander glanced at Isabella, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.
It’s a shame for the boy, though. He might face corporal punishment upon returning home. This tugs at my conscience. How can such a shameless couple bring such a good child into this world? It’s perplexing, though. Why would they let their child recognize his enemy as his mother? For revenge? Are they really that heartless? What on earth were they thinking…
As Alexander listened to Isabella’s incessant inner thoughts, he felt she didn’t need to worry so much.
What else could they’ve done it for? It’s all to ensure that their child is eligible to inherit the Quirk family’s shares and everything from the Lawsons. If there comes a time when Evian truly can’t have children, then adoption is the only option. However, Jasper can never accept a child not of his own blood. Moreover, Sienna’s pregnant again, so it only seems logical and fair to give one child up. Sean is old enough to understand the relationship between his biological mother and father. In the end, only Evian will be considered an outsider in their family. The thought of such a situation is terrifying, thank goodness for Isabella.
While deep in thought, Alexander suddenly felt Isabella move swiftly like an arrow released from its bow. In an instant, she dashed toward the Lawsons, who were nearly at the door.
Ah!
Isabella’s heart–wrenching cry caught the Quirk family so off guard that they nearly lost their footing.
They watched Isabella grab Sean’s arm, then swiftly kicked Jasper’s back as if trying to snatch Sean away.
Sean was abruptly pulled backward, and if it hadn’t been for Alexander, who caught him from behind, he would’ve fallen.
Jasper wasn’t so lucky though. He was still contemplating the plans for Sean when he was abruptly knocked to the ground before he could realize what had happened, taking Paula with him.
His nose smacked the marble floor harshly, and his scream of agony echoed throughout the entire manor.
However, no one paid them any heed. The Quirk family was all ears to Isabella’s silent rage.
System, are you out of your “dd man mind? You feed me a goship that comes with a twist? A disaster almost happened! Are you blaming me for not asking for more details? The information I found clearly stated that Jasper wanted to adopt his biological son. Of course, I would think Sean was an illegitimate child! This se*m dared to switch the babies Sienna and Evian gave birth to at the same time! Nine years later, he even had the nerve to ask Evian to adopt again. Just how deranged must one be to commit such a repulsive act! I really didn’t expect Sean to be Evian’s biological son!
