The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 462

Technically, Jessica should be asleep by now. However, she was full of energy, chatting lively with Zane.

The irony? Zane's account was being operated by none other than Casper himself.

Jessica had been scheming right under his nose, trying to sow discord between Zane and Annalise.

For a while, Casper had naively believed that her willingness to stay in touch stemmed from love and that she couldn't let him go. Perhaps, their relationship was more important than money. Casper scoffed as a wave of pain swept over him.
