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.

In comparison, Penelope felt like a speck of dust in the mud while Jasper was a prince that towered over her.

There was nothing to compare between the two.

No one could possibly imagine that they had been a couple talking about wedding plans just a year ago.

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.

Jasper had once imagined that he would feel very proud as he stood before Penelope after he had finally made a name before himself. He wondered how it would feel to mock Penelope for looking down at him in the beginning, only to end up losing such a gem of a man.
