Chapter 539

Jessica's behavior only solidified the truth for Casper—Jessica was after his money. His reply was curt. "Fruitful." Casper was busy every day. He was focused on work, leaving little room for distractions like Jessica. Oddly, he found this busyness comforting. "Do you have enough money? Do you need any help?" "I do," Casper responded. He had no interest in talking to Jessica but forced himself to remain civil for Zane's sake. "Thanks, but I'm fine." Jessica felt a twinge of indignation. Casper, who once clamored for her attention, now seemed indifferent. "You're so cold these days. You say you've forgiven me, but deep down, you're still upset with me, right? I meant it when I apologized, you know. I truly want to make things right between us." She hit send and stared at the screen, waiting. Casper read her message and hesitated. What could he say? He wasn't angry, but he wasn't interested in pretending everything was fine either. After a moment, he settled on a safe excuse.
