Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 431 - チャプター 440

"Fine. Then call the cops."Releasing Renee and throwing his phone in her lap, Jasper shrugged. "I'd rather rot in jail than watch you frolic with William."It was sincere, and it left Renee stunned, unable to argue.Jasper watched as her stubbornness faded with a hint of glee in his eyes.He then moved to turn off the bedroom lights, as he knew Renee preferred the sense of security in the darkness.Pulling her toward himself despite her resistance, he handily undressed her.He then reached down cheekily to feel around and brushed over a stickiness against her red lips. He breathed, "Well, your body is more honest than you are."Renee frowned. "You're so disgusting! That's filthy!"He couldn't see her face in the darkness, but he could already imagine her pouting.Leaning in to kiss her gently, he couldn't help chuckling, "It's your own bodily fluid. How is that disgusting?""Ugh…" Renee couldn't argue against something so embarrassing.And this time, Jasper didn't give her

Jasper remained calm as he walked up to the glass wall. "Come on, don't say that—you know that such things can't be forced, and Alison obviously isn't interested in you. Aren't you just making yourself unhappy, trying to force it through anyway?""Bullshit!" William bellowed. "It was your grandfather's idea!""Oh, really? Then take it up with him—why stalk someone else entirely?""Are you fucking with me now?" Jasper's gaslighting only left William's temples throbbing with rage. "I don't mind giving it to you straight—either deliver Renee to my bed tomorrow, or your family will pay!"Jasper simply chuckled as he swirled his glass. "Calm down, Mr. Xavier. There are plenty of fish in the sea, so why force yourself to die on a hill? I'll even make a concession: you can have an entire resort on the northern end of Jormund… It's true that my sister has been stubborn, and as a brother, I have to do something. How's that for an apology?"The resort in question was built just a couple

That was when Jasper hissed into Renee's ear, "Don't move!"She looked up at him. "What's wrong?"His brow was creased and his palm on her lower back as he moved to hold her firmly in his arms. "What do you think?" he breathed in his husky voice, his lips brushing against her ear and sending her heart racing.It wasn't like she was a virgin and didn't know what he wanted, so she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.Despite her grogginess, she could hear Jasper's phone vibrating, and he quietly lifted the sheets to get out of bed and then left the room, closing the door softly behind him.Renee opened her eyes and sat up, suddenly not sleepy at all.She knew it—Jasper was hiding something from her.That was when her phone rang on the table too, and she picked up to see that it was from Yvie.Hesitating for a while, she eventually answered it. "Yeah?"Yvie was blunt. "Do you have time today? Let's meet up." Renee wasn't surprised by her call either. "Okay."Holdi

Still, since Yvie mentioned it, that would definitely have something to do with Renee.Yvie sighed. "Donald Zeller had a heart attack when he heard and was rushed to the hospital… Look, Renee—even me getting together with your father is a matter for our own generation, and it's none of your business. That is why my conscience is always clear when it comes to you, Renee."She then finished earnestly, "So just hear me out on this one, and leave Jasper."Renee pursed her lips. "So you're saying the Zellers know that Jasper is giving up the resort for my sake?""What do you think?""How would they… punish Jasper?"That was what Renee was most worried about.The waiter arrived with their coffees just then, and Yvie picked hers up for a sip."In the end, Jasper is the eldest son of the main Zeller family…" Yvie said, trailing off and sighing as she continued, "But he's only one of many eligible heirs. If he keeps running off doing whatever he wants, another heir will be appointed."

On one hand, Renee feared William.On the other, her heart was touched by Jasper's unconditional protection and affection.He was willing to give up on the resort in North Jormund, and it was clear that she was worth more than billions to him.With him coming this far, Jasper would seem so miserable if she gave up.So lonely.To suffer her betrayal, when he was willing to give up everything for her—for love.But if she decided to stay with him, she would make an enemy of William, and the Xaviers would go all out to destroy the Zellers, leaving Jasper with nothing.She had seen how even up-and-coming companies would fall apart in trade wars. It happened so easily, with countless ready to fight for him if he just asked.And even then, leaving the Zellers bankrupt wasn't the worst—it was the death and destruction of the entire family.It reminded her of a show she had seen recently. That was fiction, but this was real."Mr. Zeller, you misunderstand," Renee replied quickly, co
