From the start, Alyssa sensed that Zoe had been following her, but she wasn't bothered by it.
Zoe, clutching her cumbersome dress, jogged up and blocked Alyssa's way. "Are you deaf or what? I
told you to stay!"
As Zoe was in a rush, she accidentally stumbled, which was hilarious to Alyssa.
Alyssa snapped, "And why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are?"
Zoe scowled. "You—"
"Spit it out or leave. I don't have time for chit-chat," Alyssa spoke with a smug grin and a frosty look in
her eyes.
Zoe unknowingly quivered, intimidated by Alyssa. Somehow, she sensed that Alyssa was growing to
resemble Jasper, even the looks of their eyes, like an old couple.

Just as Alyssa was about to leave, Zoe hissed, "You can't possibly think Jasper is serious about you,
right? He's just playing along because you're a Taylor!"
Alyssa chuckled. "I know whether he's playing along. If what you said was the truth, you would have
watched as I made a joke out of myself. You wouldn't have confronted me shamelessly like you just
did."
Zoe, taken aback by Alyssa's logic, was at a loss for words.
Alyssa leaned closer with a mocking smile. "By the way, Ms. Zoe, the most pathetic people in the world
are those who lie for personal gains but end up living in their delusions."
Ashamed, Zoe trembled from head to toe. Her tricks appeared to not work on Alyssa because Alyssa
and Jasper had talked through the misunderstanding. Still, she would not give up just yet.
Zoe gritted her teeth and flashed a malicious grin. "Alyssa Taylor, do you really believe in every word
out of Jasper's mouth? I thought you were smart, but you were just a fool who got played by sweet
talk."
Alyssa chuckled. "Save your effort. Do you think I'd believe in you?"
"It's up to you, but I have to tell you something." Then, Zoe inched closer and whispered sarcastically
into Alyssa's ear, "You saw the media taking photos of Jasper when he came to my hotel room. Have
you ever wondered what happened when we were together?
"I just came out of the bath at that time, fully naked. He hugged me tightly. I recall his hot and heavy
breath ... Hahaha ..."
Anger flickered in Alyssa's eyes. While she trusted Jasper, the mental image of him with Zoe was

"He rubbed his clammy palms on my waist. Maybe he enjoyed the feel of my smooth skin. Why else
would he keep his hands on me?" Zoe covered her mouth and chuckled. "Haha! Just look at your face.
Jasper didn't tell you any of that, did he?
"Of course, he'd keep it a secret from you. He's just like any other man who prefers young women,
even if he claims otherwise."
"Zoe Harper," Alyssa warned, her expression cold.
"Oh, are you upset? I thought you said you wouldn't believe in me. You have no choice but to trust me
because I'm telling the truth!"
