The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Zane replied instantly, "Just tell her that maybe Annalise doesn't talk badly about others behind their backs like she does."

Casper thought for a moment, copied the message, and changed a few words before sending it to Jessica.

Jessica remained silent for a long time. Just when Casper thought she wouldn't respond, her enthusiastic response was contrary to his expectations.

"Let's not mention anything else. Annalise must have felt extremely embarrassed just now, right?"

Casper scrolled through their chat history. He had always initiated conversations with Jessica. If he said something wrong, she would get upset and ignore him. Never before had she taken the initiative to chat with him like today. Suddenly, Casper felt like a clown-it was ridiculous and laughable.

Jessica continued texting. "If the same situation happened to me, I would definitely handle it well. I wouldn't lose control like Annalise and make you feel embarrassed."

Her words felt like a sharp knife stabbing Casper's heart; his feelings for Jessica were a joke. Though he felt a heaviness in his heart, he maintained a calm facade and replied, "She handled it well."

Although Casper hadn't interacted much with Annalise, he knew she was capable. She should be able to handle problems easily.

Casper continued, "And today's incident has caused quite a stir; you can check online."
