turned red.
George roared, “Even if Jas provoked Evangeline first, she shouldn’t have broken his leg! She’s inhumane!”
He told Edward, “Eddie, hire a lawyer, I want to sue her and send her to jail!”
Edward said, “I’m afraid we can’t. Jas signed an agreement before he participated in the competition, which stated that unless someone violated the rules of the competition with malice, the participants would have to be responsible for the consequences. Although we all assume Evangeline did it on purpose, her actions seemed to be accidental She didn’t violate the rules, so we can’t sue her”
George grew even more infuriated.
With
trembling lips, he uttered, “Then, think of another way. We must
must make her pay!”
Edward spoke. “Let’s talk about it when we get home. Here is not a good place to discuss it
George’s heart sank. He looked around quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one around
George thought, The Gallagher family is currently in the eye of the storm.
If anyone hears our conversation just now, those idiotic netizens will definitely come for us again.
Two hours later, Jasper was transferred out of the operating room.
His left leg had been
From then
amputated.
on, he could not drive anymore,
Jasper was taken to the ICU,
It was not until the next day that he woke up.
Everyone else had gone back except Edward, who was caring for him.
“How do you feel, Jas? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? Edward quickly asked after seeing Jasper wake up.
Jasper stared blankly at the white ceiling. It took him a while to remember what had happened before he passed out
“My leg uttered Jasper.
Edward informed sorrowfully. “Your left leg has been amputated. The doctor said there was no possibility of reattaching it. They have to amputate it, or your life will be in danger.”
He added, “Regardless, you don’t have to mind it too much. You can put on a prosthesis in the future. Now that technology is so advanced, a good prosthesis is no different from a real one,
Jasper’s eyes were dull as if he had lost all his vigor,
After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
He was laughing and crying.
Jasper said, “Haha, you know what, Eddie Evangeline is Jade. The biological sister I despised the most turned out to be Queen Jade, who I worshipped like a goddess.
“I even fantasized about marrying her.” He spoke pitifully.
He uttered again, “Why her? Why did it have to be her? Ugh, I can’t believe I treated her like that. Why didn’t she tell me earlier? She knew I admired Queen Jade. If she had told me she was Jade earlier, I wouldn’t have done that to her,”
“Haha, this is my retribution. It’s God’s retribution for me. Haha, I deserve it!” wallowed Jasper,
He laughed loudly, but his face was full of tears.

Chapter 49
Compared to the amputation of his leg, it was harder for him to accept the collapse of his faith.
Due to him being a middle child with an outstanding older brother and a lively yet cheeky younger brother, his parents paid him little attention Because he could not gain his parents‘ attention, Jasper continued behaving recklessly and fooled around all day,
Thus, he succumbed to a vicious cycle.
The less attention he got, the less effort he made.
The less he tried, the less he was noticed.
At one point, he was bullied.
However, holding a one–sided grudge against his parents, he did not tell them about it. He let the people bully him and went home with injuries every day in the hope of attracting his parents‘ attention.
Yet, they still did not notice him.
He suffered from depression and thought about ending it all,
Then, he came across Jade’s interview.
All she said seemed like the standard inspirational content, but as if bewitched by a spell, Jasper instantly started living again.
He started working hard to better himself.
Gradually, his parents began to praise him.
He thought Jade had brought him salvation
Posters of Jade covered his room.
In his heart, Queen Jade had become more important than his parents
Now, his faith had collapsed
It was hard for him to accept this.
Jasper spoke again. “Eddie, you know what? I’d rather Evangeline kill me directly instead of letting me find out about this truth. Since she has been hiding it from me for so long, why didn’t she hide it from me for the rest of my life? She should’ve killed me in that car crash at the racing venue. Why did she have to tell me the truth?”
Seeing how emotional Jasper was getting, Edward rang the call bell.
Soon, a nurse came to check on him and called the doctor to give Jasper a sedative.
Seeing that Jasper had calmed down, Edward asked, “Since you adored Jade so much, why did you destroy Jade’s car, which Evangeline gave you?” Jasper’s eyes went dull for a moment.
He wondered, ‘Why?
“Right, Meghan told me the car was fake.
“She said Evangeline deliberately hired someone to forge an identical car to please me. In truth, that wasn’t Jade’s car.
“Meghan questioned me how could Evangeline, with her status, obtain Jade’s car.
‘I believed her.
“That’s right. I couldn’t do it myself, so what could Evangeline dot
“So, the car must be faker
Hence, Jasper was incredibly disappointed by Evangeline and destroyed the car in embarrassment.
Chapter 49
On the surface, he smashed it for Meghan. In truth, he was furious that it was a fake, so he directly smashed it to vent his anger.
He worshiped Jade so much. Of course, he could not allow someone else to pass off a fake.
Yet, he did not expect Evangeline to be Jade..
The car she gave him back then was not fake.
It was Meghan who deliberately stirred up trouble.
“Have a good rest. I’m going back first. Ill come to see you later. Edward patted Jasper on the shoulder and left.
Edward returned home in exhaustion.
As soon as he opened the door and walked into the hallway to change into his indoor slippers, he heard laughter coming from the living room Upon closer inspection, he recognized they were Meghan and George’s voices.
“Dad, I peeled a grape for you. Here you go,” said Meghan
“Haha, as expected of my little sweetheart, replied George.
“Dad, don’t bite my finger, Megan voiced out
Edward frowned
After changing his shoes, he almost passed our upon seeing the scene in the living room.
Meghan was sitting on George’s lap.
She had just fed a grape to George, and her finger was still in George’s mouth.
“Dad, what are you two doing? Edward said darkly.
Meghan was startled and got off George’s lap awkwardly. Then, she sat at the side with her head hung low.
On the other hand, George seemed calm as he glanced at Edward. “You’re back. How is Jas?”
Edward explained. “He’s in stable condition, but he’s suffered severe psychological trauma. Jas can’t accept this for the time being”
George said, “It would be hard for anyone to accept the fact they’ve lost a leg. You should find him a psychologist. Don’t let him do anything foolish.
Edward pursed his lips and could not be bothered to explain what Jasper truly could not accept.
He looked back and forth between Meghan and George. “Daud, you and Meghan-
George’s face darkened, and he scolded sternly, “What are you thinking, you scoundrel! Meghan is just being playful like she used to be when she was a child. Don’t put those filthy thoughts on us, father and daughter
Edward thought, I se
seems like that’s the case!
When Meghan was a child, she would also feed George some food, and George deliberately bit her fingers to tease her.
Edward said, “Meghan has grown up now, after all. Something that she could do as a child isn’t appropriate for her to do now as an adult
George retorted, “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
“I didn’t mean that,” Edward explained calmly. “Even if I don’t mind this, it’s not appropriate for you two to laugh so happily when Jas has just had an amputation and is still lying in the hospital”
George and Meghan both looked embarrassed and pale.
Edward massaged his temples tiredly and said, “I’ve been caring for Jas the entire night. I’m tired, so I’ll go upstairs to rest now.”
Without waiting for George to reply, he went straight upstairs.
Chapter 49
George looked at his back and said, “After you had a good rest, think about how to punish that bastard, Evangeline! If we don’t get rid of her, she will kill us all!”
Edward humined curtly in response.
After returning to his room, Edward sat in a chair without a trace of drowsiness.
Edward pondered, Dad was right about one thing.
If we don’t take care of Evangeline, she’ll be the ones finishing us off.
“She has started her revenge against us.
“We have no choice.
“We can only fight!!
Edward sat in his chair and thought for a long time.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
I got an idea, he thought.
“Evangeline, it’s you who refused to let us go Don’t blame me for this, he uttered.

Evangeline sneezed several times when she woke up in the thorning
She frowned.
Which bastard is bad–mouthing me?” she wondered
Shaking her head, Evangeline got out of bed and cleaned herself. Then, she finally turned on her phone, which she had turned off before she slept. As soon as she turned on the phone, an unfamiliar foreign number called her. Evangeline narrowed her eyes and picked it up
“Ms. Evangeline Castillo, I’m the director of Xtreme Survival Timm here to sincerely invite you to participate in the shooting of the you are not satisfied with the appearance fee of 20 million dollars, we can discuss it again” A man’s voice sounded from the phone. Evangeline walked down the stairs while asking, “Who are the other participants!”

season. If
The man gave a list of names in one go.
Evangeline said with a half–smile. These people are too weak. There’s no challenge to it. I want a few designated people. If you can get them to participate, I’ll accept your invitation. Otherwise, I won’t join at all,”
The man was particularly arrogant. He said, “Ms. Castillo, you must not be clear about the backing of our show, aren’t you? You have been favored by our investor, Even if you don’t accept the invitation, we still have a lot of ways to get you here.”
The man added, “Our investors are the top billionaires in the world. They are all rich and powerful. A minor character like you can’t refuse them. We kindly extend the invitation to you as a sign of respect. I hope you know what’s good for you.”
Evangeline said casually, “I also have a way to make it so that you can’t do anything you want.”
The man’s tone became more sarcastic. “Ms. Camillo, confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence isn’t. As a nobody, what makes you think you can go against a group of top billionaires?”
Evangeline said, “1 can die.”
The man was speechless,
For a moment, he was not sure whether Evangeline was threatening him.
