Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 281 Sarah Swire

“Are you leaving?” Eileen’s voice rang out.

Jasper looked at her impassively. When his gaze fell on her bandaged hand, his eyes darkened slightly. “The engagement will proceed as planned. After all, it’s something I sought. Abruptly canceling it would affect the Smith family’s reputation, but I can’t guarantee when I might call it off in the meantime. From now on, you are only allowed to go to school and stay at home, nowhere else.”

Eileen didn’t respond to his words. Instead, she walked over and placed the file she was holding on the table. In a calm tone, she said, “The car is broken and needs to be repaired. The housekeeper took this out of your car. Drink less. I’m going back to my room first.”

“Hold on,” Jasper called out to her the moment she turned to leave.

Eileen turned around. “Is there anything else?”

“Aren’t you curious about what’s inside?”

Eileen narrowed her eyes. “It belongs to you. I have no right to open it without your permission.”

Jasper walked up to her, towering over her, his aura icy as he looked at her. “I’m giving you this right now. Open it.”

Eileen remained motionless for a long time.

Jasper narrowed his eyes dangerously. “What’s the matter? You don’t dare to open it? Or are you scared?”

Eileen silently opened the file.

“Take out what’s inside,” he commanded.

Eileen did as told and pulled out a photo.

Jasper looked at her reaction intently.
