The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1035

Jasper's gaze turned steely, his face grave. He stated firmly, "I'm not divorcing you."

Imogen's lips quivered, tears pooling in her eyes. She clasped her hands and pleaded, "Mr. Morrison, please. We're not meant to be together. We can't get married."

The use of "Mr. Morrison" felt distant and icy, cutting deep into his heart. His frustration boiled over. "We're not divorced yet. I'm still your husband. Stop calling me 'Mr. Morrison.""

Imogen nodded vigorously. "Okay, fine. I'll call you whatever you prefer, but we must divorce."

She was wary of jeopardizing her family's lives by challenging authority.

The mention of "divorce" weighed heavily on Jasper. He gripped Imogen's arms tightly and pulled her close. Looking down at her, his eyes shimmered with tears of anguish. "Why? What's wrong with me? Why do you hate me so?"

Imogen felt a pang of empathy as she watched Jasper teetering on the brink of losing control. She wrestled with finding the right words to explain herself.

Jasper's voice rose with anger. "Is it because I'm not attractive enough, or because I'm not gentle enough? Haven't I treated you right? Give me a reason!"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Imogen hung her head in sorrow, tears flowing freely. She whispered tearfully, "It's because of who you are, Jasper Morrison."

Jasper couldn't accept such an explanation. He suppressed his despair and roared, "Imogen, if you're mentioning divorce, it's not going to happen while I'm still alive!"

Imogen flinched in fear at his words. She could feel Jasper's tight grip on her arms, causing her discomfort.

After his outburst, Jasper released her. His eyes were still red from emotion as he stormed past Imogen into his room and slammed the door shut, sending a jolt of fear through her.

She buried her face in her hands, wiping away tears, and stood there, paralyzed, unsure what to do next.

Imogen recalled the initial flutter of love, her heart racing with excitement and bashfulness as she received Jasper's first love letter.

However, when Carol found out, she immediately reprimanded Imogen, "If you don't want trouble, stay away from Jasper!"

Jasper hailed from a prestigious

lineage. A man of his standing could only be suited to a woman from a highesociety background, someone born into privilege and refinement.

An average person like Imogen wouldn't stand a chance at all. Disaster would surely follow if she dared to entertain such a foolish dream.

Nathan wielded unmatched authority in Norvania as a general known for his decisive actions, unwavering strength, and ruthless tactics.

With Jasper coming from such a prestigious background, how could his family ever approve of someone as ordinary as Imogen marrying him?

She was simply a person of humble

origins. She feared that if Jasper were to love her, Nathan and Mita would tear them apart, bringing disaster upon her entire family. She felt it was inevitable.

It was rumored that Nathan's closest female friend back then, Fenna, had feelings for him. Yet, Fenna only wanted to quietly support Nathan as his assistant due

Unfortunately, Mila had Fenna involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital, leading to a tragic outcome for Fenna.

On the frontier, Nathan was a figure of fear. Both he and Mila wielded equally formidable methods.

Imogen had heard Carol recount countless chilling stories about Nathan, which filled her with deep apprehension. Eventually, Imogen decided to sever all connections with Jasper and steer clear of any entanglements altogether.
