Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 11 I Want A Divorce

Evian's body swayed, and her vision went dark. She nearly passed out.

With a contorted expression, Selena supported Evian.

The throbbing of the veins on David's forehead was visible. He exuded a bloodthirsty aura, akin to a dethroned alpha lion, fixating on the prey that dared to encroach his territory. With a single gesture from him, Alfred in the distance caught the hint and promptly turned to leave.

The new alpha lion, Alexander, had already lowered his head, sending instructions through his phone.

The Lawson family had yet to grasp the gravity of the situation.

Upon seeing the Quirk family's determination to complicate the situation, Jasper couldn't help but fix his gaze on Evian. With a pressuring tone, he said, "Are you really going to make a fuss over such a trivial matter? Since when did you become so petty?" Evian slowly lifted her head, her bloodshot eyes filled with despair. A jolt struck Jasper's heart at the sight.

"Why?"

Evian found the whole situation absurd. She believed he had chosen to marry her only because he couldn't win back his true love and felt obligated to be responsible for their child. Yet, she was told that he had actually been together with his mistress all along. Why didn't he ask for a divorce then? Why is he stringing me along? He even dares to blame me for everything! How can he be so shamelessly self-righteous?

"What do you mean by why? Fine! If you can't accept him, then we won't adopt him. I'll send him back tomorrow."

That night, Evian's peculiar behavior left Jasper feeling control was slipping from his grasp. After some thought, he decided to take a step back.

Evian looked at Jasper, who still bore an air of condescension, and couldn't help but feel repulsed. The illusion of him as an outstanding senior had completely shattered, leaving behind his true colors.

Isabella was also thoroughly disgusted. However, she was unaware that Evian and the others had heard the truth. She found it hard to resist the urge to expose such juicy gossip when knowing the people involved were still in the dark. Yet, she couldn't voice her thoughts outright, so she had no choice but to help through twisted ways.

"Send the child away? You mentioned earlier that the child's mother was nowhere to be found, but it looks like you're quite informed of her whereabouts! Could it be that you guys are still together on the sly? It looks like an investigation is necessary to find out whether you've contacted or met the child's mother over the years. We can't let Evie raise your child after being cheated on, can we?"

Jasper's pupils quivered almost imperceptibly from shock, his voice finally betraying some panic. "Spreading rumors about me? My mom was right when she said you lack manners!" Alexander immediately warned, "Shut up."

Two words, spoken not too loudly. Yet, they pierced Jasper's psyche like icy arrows, deeply wounding him, and leaving him momentarily stunned.
