MasukAt eight months pregnant, Esther Rivera went to the mall to buy a duffle bag and stock up on supplies she would need when she went into labor. She was once again mistaken for a mistress and was assaulted by Summer Moreno. To protect the baby in her belly, she could not fight back at all. Summer grabbed her hair and slapped her several times, even nearly tearing off her clothes. At her wit’s end, Esther called the police. Both of them were taken to the police station. Each of them claimed to be Jasper Clarke’s wife The police officer, John Hayward, called Jasper to verify the truth. When Jasper learned about this, he went to the police station. Summer swiftly took out a mirror to touch up her makeup before looking at Esther smugly and saying, “Esther, do you think Jasper will say I’m his wife just to protect me? “I bet he will.”

Esther was brought in for a checkup, too.Early the next morning, Alex sent everything his team had investigated to Jasper. Jasper took a deep breath and opened the files. The more he read, the paler he got.Summer had slapped Esther in public and called her a mistress on purpose. It was not because Esther had been showing off, as Summer had claimed. When Esther was suspected of stealing at the banquet, that too had been orchestrated by Summer.As for the chat logs that spread around the office, Summer had stolen them from Esther’s phone.It was not what Summer claimed. She said Esther had sent them just to show off and provoke her into retaliating.Summer was also behind the allergy incident. She was the one who stole his phone and transferred the money to the maid.Even Summer’s injury was staged. She had used it to get rid of his and Esther’s baby.Jasper stared at the files. His mind replayed ever
The next moment, Jasper jumped straight into the reservoir and swam frantically toward Esther.Summer was shocked when she saw him. “Jas, what are you doing here?“Are you crazy?! Get out of the water! It’s dangerous to swim in a reservoir like this!”He ignored her and kept his eyes fixed on Esther’s sinking body as he swam desperately to her side.By the time he reached her, she was slowly losing consciousness.He patted her cheek and said, “Esther, stay with me. I’m getting you out of here. Don’t you dare fall asleep on me.”She only glanced at him, unable to give any response.His heart clenched as he pulled her onto his back and carried her toward the shore with all his strength.The extra weight and his injured thigh made every stroke a struggle.Several times, he almost could not make it and thought he would sink into the water with Esther.When Summer saw this from the shore, she became worried and furious.“Jasper, do you really love her so much that you’d die for h
Jasper narrowed his eyes as he thought of how Summer had teamed up with Samantha to drug him. He finally realized that he might not know who Summer truly was after all. After a moment, he said reluctantly, “I know. I just thought it was a schoolgirl crush, and nothing more.“But don’t worry. I know you can’t stand her. I’ve already made things clear with her. I won’t have any contact with her from now on.“I’ve warned my mother, too. Since you don’t like seeing them, you never have to set foot in that house again. You don’t need to walk on eggshells around them again.“Once we remarry, things will go back to the way they were. We’ll be happy again.”He looked at Esther hopefully.However, she shook her head bitterly. “Jasper, we can never go back to the way things were.”In the past, she had always clung to memories of how things used to be. She desperately explained herself to him, argued with him, and tried every possible way to make him see Summer’s true colors.At this p
Esther stepped forward and frowned at Jasper. “What are you doing here?”Jasper looked at her with an intense, longing gaze. “I came to take you home.”Her mother, Lily Rivera, pulled her behind her to shield her. Her hair was streaked with gray, and she glared at him. “Mr. Clarke, we don’t know what happened between you and Esther, but I know my daughter’s been hurt.“She already told us that you two are divorced. She’s not going anywhere with you. We don’t want your gifts. Please leave.”The neighbors around them erupted into murmurs. “Divorced?”“They’ve only been married a few years. Yet they’re already divorced?”“Rich people are all the same. Could it be that he cheated?”“See? I told you that marrying into a rich family is never easy. Look at Esther. She’s been hiding at home ever since she got back, moping around.”Jasper’s heart ached when he heard this. He hurried to explain, saying, “I didn’t cheat. Esther is the only woman I love.”Esther noticed that her paren
