Chapter 811
His countenance transformed into a tempest of fury as he spoke in a hushed, intense murmur.
“I’ve only been locked up for a few days and you’re already seeking shelter in someone else’s arms?”
With his other hand, Jasper’s grip around Brielle’s throat tightened.
Her fear muddled her thoughts as she stumbled through an explanation, her words tripping over each other.
“No, it’s not what you think.
He hunted me down relentlessly.
I couldn’t shake him off.
I haven’t betrayed you.
”
As Brielle attempted to make sense of her plight, Jasper’s anger surged like an untamed wildfire.
The confinement had left him forlorn and disheartened, but Brielle’s apparent betrayal added a darker shade to his despair.
The media closely followed the Anderson family, so even if he was freed, he would have to stay in hiding and avoid attracting any unwanted attention.
Seeking Brielle in this covert haven he had procured for her was both for his safety and for a hidden agenda.
However, he was taken aback to find her cozying up to another man so soon after his arrival.
It was evident that their bond was more than a mere dalliance; Brielle had evidently discovered herself a new patron.
Jasper’s fury seethed like a tempest.
Ariana’s actions were understandable, but Brielle’s betrayal cut deep into his heart.
Unintentionally, his grip around her throat intensified, and Brielle found herself gasping for breath, her strength waning, teetering on the edge of oblivion.
Summoning her last reserve of energy, she managed to gasp out, “I had no choice! I was merely seeking information.
I discovered Ariana’s deceitful charade; she is pregnant!”
Struggling to voice those words, Brielle’s face flushed red as she fought for air.
At the mention of Ariana’s name, Jasper instinctively eased his grip, making Brielle collapse to the floor, gasping for air.
“She’s pregnant? How did you come by this revelation?” Jasper asked, incredulousness Lacing his tone.
After regaining her breath, Brielle cautiously distanced herself from Jasper, raising her hands as if in surrender, her voice hoarse and unsteady.
“The source doesn’t matter.
What’s important is the truth-the surrogate was successful, and Ariana fooled everyone, including Theodore!”
“Including Theodore?” Jasper arched an eyebrow, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.
He advanced toward Brielle, cornering her against the wall, and tenderly grazed her trembling cheek.
“Are you absolutely certain Theodore is oblivious to this?”
Brielle nodded emphatically.
“If Theodore knew, he’d protect Ariana and never let her slip away.
”
Jasper pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly as he pulled Brielle into an embrace.
“You’ve provided me with valuable information.
Well done.
You’re not entirely ineffectual!”

Brielle dared not move, forcing a strained smile as she inquired, “So, what’s your plan for revenge against Ariana and Theodore?”
“That’s not something you need to concern yourself with.
Just understand that I won’t allow them to escape my wrath this time.
For now, behave,” Jasper replied, his fingers gently tracing Brielle’s quivering cheek.
Leaning in, he ki*sed her with fervor before swiftly pushing her to the floor, quenching his desires.
Within the dimly lit room, their breaths intertwined, creating an atmosphere of dark intimacy.
Brielle thought to herself that Jasper was a step above that old man.
Yet, as her excitement surged, Jasper inadvertently let slip Ariana’s name.
Brielle froze, consumed by envy and resentment.
Even at this moment, Jasper couldn’t shake his obsession with that wretched Ariana?!
