Chapter 15
Jasper locked eyes with her, his voice slow and measured. “Our grandfathers set this engagement. If you want to cancel it, they’d have to undo it
themselves.”
Linda shook with anger, her gaze cutting like a knife. “Jasper, you’re shameless!”
The guy’s cold and manipulative.
Their grandfathers had been gone for years. So finding there was pure nonsense, just him messing with her.
‘I see his game,‘ she thought, sneering to herself. ‘No ending this engagement today!’
She didn’t want to waste another word on him and turned to leave.
This time, Jasper didn’t stop her.
Outside, Miles waited, his face a mix of emotions.
‘Only Miss Linda could talk to him like that and walk away,‘ he thought. ‘She’s one of a kind.‘
Even heroes fall for beauty. Women’s hearts are so hard to figure out,‘ he thought.
Mile had seen that, a month ago, Linda’s eyes were warm for Jasper. Now? Cold, like they were strangers.
The change was fast and huge, almost unbelievable.
Lost in thought, his phone rang.
“Okay, got it,” he answered quickly.
Then he looked at Jasper, who was standing in the doorway.
Jasper was there, back straight as a tree.
He always seemed calm, always in control.
His face was dark, but his eyes lingered on the path Linda had taken.
Sensing Miles’s gaze, Jasper slowly turned. “Speak,” he said.

Miles jumped in. “Sir, we’ve got it sorted. Edith Preston told Miss Linda you and Miss Elaine were the perfect match and that she wasn’t good enough. That’s why she wants to cancel the engagement.”
Jasper’s face stayed grim, but his eyes softened slightly.
‘So she doesn’t hate me, he thought. Elaine
meddling?‘
“That cold, disgusted look she gave me, was
ger and jealousy‘ he thought, frowning, annoyance rising.
Miles continued. “Boss, Elaine’s out of line, A foster daughter dreaming of you? Need me to put her in her place?
Jasper’s voice was icy. “Make her know her place.”
His tone was flat, emotionless, which made it all the
more
chilling.
“Yes, sir,” Miles said, nodding firmly and respectfully.
Linda drove back to the Preston family’s hillside estate.
Elaine stood on her room’s balcony, packing slowly, every move heavy with reluctance.
She’d lived here since birth. Moving out felt wrong.
From the balcony, she muttered, “Linda, everything you’ve taken from me, I’ll take back one day.”
Her fists clenched, eyes burning.
‘No dne steals what’s mine,’ she thought.

Chapter 15
A car engine roared below, and she leaned out to look.
When she saw the car, her jaw dropped.”
That was Jaden’s prized Koenigsegg Agera, his favorite ride, worth a fortune.
Jaden, their seventh brother, guarded it like a treasure–no one could touch it.
‘He’s racing abroad,‘ she thought. ‘So who was driving?‘
Elaine squinted, her eyes widening in shock.
It was Linda!
Elaine’s eyes almost popped out.
‘She had the nerve to take Jaden’s car?‘ Elaine thought, her shock turned to smug satisfaction.
She was sure Linda’d be in huge trouble now.
Elaine was the Preston family’s princess, loved by her parents and grandma, but her seven brothers kept their distance.
The seventh one, Jaden, wasn’t just distant–he despised her.
As for why he despised her…
Elaine’s eyes gleamed with excitement, memories flashing.
‘I may be able to use Jaden’s help to kick Linda out of the family,‘ she thought.
Then she’d be the only Preston daughter, Jasper’s rightful fiancée.
–
With that, Elaine stopped packing, sure that she wouldn’t have to move out of the room.
‘I’m staying,‘ she thought. ‘When Jaden comes back, he’d get rid of Linda for me!
