Life at the Top

The aura surrounding Jasper at that moment was already beyond what Penelope could fathom. However, she could tell that Jasper’s outfit was an expensive one. The man’s every move and even the simplest glance was filled with the prestige and aura of somebody of high-society.

Penelope shuddered slightly, but she did not know if she was shaking with resentment or regret.

Jasper lamented at the sight of Penelope, now as despondent as a beggar on the streets.

There were definitely no more romantic feelings between them.

Yet, the hatred he harbored for her seemed to have faded as well.
