Chapter 189 What's Done Is Done
Morgana was also a smart person.
Hearing Stella's words, he immediately frowned. "Miss Collins, I do this not for you, but for Diana!
"Diana is a good friend of yours. If you are unhappy because of Adeline, she will be unhappy too.
"As a father, of course, I don't want to see my daughter frowning!
"Moreover…”
He glared at Adeline fiercely, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. "This woman stays by Mr. Foster's side in the name of work, but actually has ulterior motives toward Mr. Foster!
"Intentionally seducing a woman with a family, I will expose her actions to everyone, let everyone see her scheming and malice, am I not right?"
As he said this, the hatred in his eyes toward Adeline far exceeded the so-called disgust toward the third party.
Adeline narrowed her eyes slightly.
After a while, she smirked, coldly smiling. "Morgana is really thoughtful. I know, Ms. Foster is your daughter's friend. If I didn't know, I would have thought Ms. Foster was your own daughter."
Morgana snorted. "In my heart, Xingqing is almost like my own daughter!"
"Please stop..."
Stella wiped her tears as she walked over, pulling on Morgana's sleeve. "I know you and Diana are doing this for my good, but the reality is not as you think..."
After speaking, she walked to Jasper's side, affectionately linking her arm with Jasper's. "Jasper and I have always had a good relationship. We have a son and a daughter, I left Dawnvale for six years, and he waited for me for six years.
"Even in these six years, he took good care of my sister and my family for me... How could anyone come between us with such feelings?" Moreover, Adeline has only been at the Foster Group for a month. I trust Jasper, he wouldn't give up on a six-year relationship just because he met a woman for a month."
As she spoke, she kept leaning toward Jasper's embrace.
Jasper furrowed his brows, initially resisting a bit.
Later, he seemed touched by her words, not resisting her anymore, but instead actively embracing her.
Adeline saw everything.
She bit her lip, her heart growing colder.
Watching Stella speak up for Jasper like this, Linda beside her couldn't bear it any longer.
She rolled her eyes and walked over. "Stella, stop speaking up for Jasper. He publicly announced at the press conference that he wanted a divorce in front of everyone, is that fake? This man is indecisive, unworthy of your deep affection for him!"
As Linda's words fell, whispers began in the venue.
"Linda, don't say that."
Stella let go of Jasper, took a deep breath. "Actually... Actually, those things before were decisions made by Morgana and Diana without my consent, but Stella ended up paying for their mistakes."
Before Stella could finish her sentence, Jasper, standing beside her, reached out and pulled her into his arms, his voice cold as he explained for her, "When I said I wanted a divorce, it was out of anger."
The man cast a cold glance at Morgana, then at Morris. "Uncle, Morgana is under your command."
Morris furrowed his brows.
He glared coldly at Morgana. "How dare you slander others behind my back in Dawnvale, almost making everyone think Jasper is a scoundrel! You should apologize immediately!"
Morgana hurriedly walked up to Jasper. "Mr. Foster, I'm sorry..."
Only then did Jasper shift his gaze to Adeline. "You should apologize, it's her."
Morgana hesitated, then walked up to Adeline. "Ms. Wilson, I..."
"I don't want your apology." Adeline raised her head proudly, her gaze coldly sweeping over Morgana's aged face. "Do you dare to say that all the smearing, rumors, and insults were instigated by you alone?"
"Of course." Morgana looked at her. "Besides me and my daughter, is there anyone else?"
Adeline sneered, not answering his question or accepting his apology.
She raised her head, glanced at Jasper embracing Stella in the distance. "If Mr. Foster doesn't pursue this, then I have nothing to pursue either. But I feel uncomfortable, consider this party as if I never attended."
With that, regardless of the reactions behind her, she lifted her dress and left the venue.
Adeline didn't know what she was feeling.
Clearly, she was the victim, and ultimately the winner who cleared up the rumors.
Yet, through this party, she directly ruined Stella's right-hand man.
But she felt like a clown, a deserter.
The image of Jasper holding Stella's shoulder and defending her with lies and excuses couldn't leave Adeline's mind.
Under everyone's gaze, she walked away quickly, her steps growing faster and more urgent.
The woman's high heels made crisp sounds on the marble floor.
Jasper stood in place, watching her leave, a hint of pain surging in his heart.
"Jasper."
After the commotion ended and everyone dispersed, Stella carefully broke free from Jasper's embrace.
She bit her lip and looked at him cautiously, her eyes filled with timidity and innocence. "Thank you for helping me just now. I know what you said just now was just to comfort me. I won't take it seriously..."
Jasper lowered his gaze, gently caressing Stella's face with his hand.
"You're right. The feelings we've had for so many years shouldn't be broken just because of a woman you've known for a month."
He bent down, gently holding her shoulders and looking at her.
Although the man's actions seemed distant, his gaze was sincere. "I won't bring up the past, and neither will Adeline. But I hope you can trust me more and not create such situations again. If there's a next time... I won't protect you anymore."
After saying that, he let go of her, turned, and went upstairs to find Morris.
Stella stood still, instinctively placing her hand where he had just touched her shoulder, feeling a hint of sweetness in her heart.
She knew it!
Effort paid off!
Her six years of dedication wouldn't be erased in just one month!
She looked upstairs, where Morris was chatting and drinking with Jasper.
A sense of satisfaction welled up in her eyes, and she took out her phone, sending a message to Morris: [Help me get Jasper drunk tonight.]
Tonight, she was going to have a sexual relationship with Jasper.
