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.

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. "I know, but I'm
really busy right now."
Jessica probed further. "When you're free, can we sit down and talk?" "Sure."

mind unbidden. Casper refused to dwell on her any longer. Hence, he buried himself back into work.
Meanwhile, Jessica, sensing that she had hurt Casper deeply, decided to send a long message to apologize. "I
know you probably won't believe anything | say. But no matter what, | need you to know of all the men I've ever
been with, you're the only one I've truly loved." Casper glanced at his phone as the message cthrough.
Jessica truly loved him? There was a time, even after his family's downfall and Jessica's departure, when he
believed she might have cared for him.
Back then, he thought Jessica
simply couldn't endure a life without
luxury. He even understood why Jessica needed to find another man and blamed himself for not being capable
enough to give her a better life.
However, the insults started coming, and so did the deliberate distance she put between them. That was when
he realized the truth: Jessica loved money. Whoever had the most of it becthe object of her affection.
Casper looked away and continued working with a solemn expression.
Jessica waited a long time, but Casper didn't reply. She wasn't anxious, though.
She knew Casper was a man with a temper. Back when they were together, his love for her had often
outweighed his frustrations. He had always gone out of his way to
suppress his anger, doing his best to
please her.
No matter how unreasonable Jessica was or how upset he became, Casper had always endured it. Even his tone
with her had been soft and careful.

Jessica turned her attention to Zane. She stared at their chat window for a long moment before typing a
message.
"Busy with work?" Casper sat motionless, staring at his phone screen.
