Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 689 Unanswered Calls

As Jenny walked away, she muttered, "You and Jasper were once together. Even if he knows what happened, he might cut you some slack. After all, you two were a thing."

Hearing those words, Evelina felt like her heart had been thrown into hot oil, sizzling with pain, only to be doused with cold water.

It was true-she and Jasper had dated.

But from the beginning to the end, she was never in control.

When they broke up, she didn't even get a say. She was informed.

Afterward, Evelina thought about trying to win him back. Still, Jasper was so decisive that he changed the passcodes to the villa and cut off all contact. She couldn't even reach him privately. When she pushed too hard, Jeffrey had warned her to back off.

That's when she finally gave up.

But now, hearing Jenny's words, Evelina couldn't shake the feeling that maybe Jasper never truly cared about her.

A strange, unspeakable sadness washed over her.

Had he ever really liked her?

Before long, Evelina arrived at the office, only to be told that Jasper wasn't there.

She took a car to his villa, but it started to drizzle when she arrived. The iron gates were firmly shut, and she was left feeling dejected once again.
