“You have no idea. Lester is different from you. His heart and eyes are only for me. He gives me what I
want, and he’d never dare to go against my wishes. He’s gentle, considerate, and most importantly,
incredibly generous.”
Sasha, feeling troubled inside, was not about to let Jameson off easily.
Knowing how high his pride was and his dislike for being outdone, she deliberately praised Lester in
front of him.
What she said wasn’t an exaggeration. In business, Lester indeed doted on her.
Even in personal life, Lester was especially indulgent with her, and for the sake of both their families,
he wouldn’t contradict her words.
Therefore, she felt even more emboldened.
Jameson’s face visibly darkened, and his hands, unknowingly, had clenched into fists, clearly
distressed.
“Is he really that good?”
“I don’t know how he is with others, but I know he’s incredibly good to me.”
“Wake up, Sasha. Lester is known for his reputation as a play boy. His intentions for you. might not be
sincere; he’s probably just enamored with your beauty.”
Sasha laughed upon hearing this. She had never heard Jameson compliment her looks. before. With NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
his attitude of avoiding her like the plague, she had almost thought herself
a monster.
A man’s pride indeed can be strong. Even if they no longer care, they can still utter insincere words in
the face of a rival.
Sasha, still smiling cheerfully, didn’t believe the words Jameson said.
“So what if it’s temporary? It’s a relationship of mutual consent.”
“How can you be so naive? If his feelings aren’t genuine, he could end up betraying you
in the future.”
“What could he betray in me now? I have nothing left to lose. He, the distinguished second son of the
Peyer family and the CEO of Thysha Corporation, is extraordinarily handsome and capable. And me?
I’m just a woman discarded by a wealthy family, a divorcee. No matter how you look at it, isn’t he the
one at a disadvantage?”
Jameson’s expression darkened to a grim extent, looking as if he might explode at any
moment.
In the past, Sasha would have never dared to speak so freely, but now, she found it liberating.
“Don’t be self-deprecating. You…”
“It’s not self-deprecation. It’s just the truth.” Sasha interrupted him, saying, “Honestly, whether Lester is
sincere or not, I’m grateful for his kindness towards me.
“He’s shown me that blind devotion is foolish. I am not inferior. I wasn’t born to be tram pled upon.”
Her last statement, indirect yet pointed, was harsh.
Jameson’s pupils constricted, feeling a bitter taste in his heart.
Having vented her frustration, Sasha didn’t want to prolong their interaction and earnestly explained,
“I’m not Suzie, and I can’t help you. Since you know I’m with Lester now, please refrain from bothering
me in the future. I don’t want him to get the wrong idea.”
It felt like a heavy hammer had struck Jameson’s chest, filling his heart with immense sorrow, the
reasons for which he couldn’t clearly articulate.
Sasha waited there for a while, and seeing that Jameson didn’t speak again, she suddenly smiled.
“Then, thank you, Mr. Leigh, for letting go. Let’s both move on and live well separately.” After saying
this, she turned and walked away, her departing figure showing no trace of lingering attachment.
Not long after Sasha left, Henry arrived with others to find Jameson.
Seeing Jameson’s distressed expression and his sudden bend at the waist, Henry quickly approached,
supporting him and asking anxiously, “Mr. Leigh, are you alright?”
