บททั้งหมดของ Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: บทที่ 851 - บทที่ 859

The trio's faces darkened at the mention of Sylas, the air in the room suddenly cold.Conrad stood up first, while Caspian wheeled Jasper into the elevator as they descended to the basement.Outside a room stood two bodyguards, one of whom quickly opened the door for them, and Jasper, Conrad, and Caspian entered while Luke waited outside.Click.The dark room was suddenly bright as day with a flicker of lights.Sylas, who had been curled up on the wooden bed, turned, his haggard face paling when he saw the trio.They kept staring at him, and he finally sat up."What, did you come to laugh at me?" He shrugged, clearly giving up and hanging his head. "Just get it over with already.""Fuck you!"That attitude left Caspian seething, and he promptly strode up and punched Sylas in the face. "We all treated you like a brother, only for you to stab us in the back! Did you know how Jasper was doing for the past few years? Heaven knows how much manpower and wealth we had put into findin

Jasper's gaze was troubled as he stared at Sylas, unable to get up from the pain. "Remember Dharma, where both Conrad and I were blindsided and maimed? You were so traumatized that you lay sick for a week upon seeing how our men were massacred. That was when we agreed to keep you out of the loop when it came to the gnarly stuff."Furious, Sylas snapped, "I practice medicine! Why would I get spooked by death?!"Seething, Caspian leaped up and kicked him again. "Well, we don't fucking get it too! Why are you so scared of seeing death when you practice medicine?! But you definitely got fucking traumatized, and what do you expect us to say to that?! "Heck, you're both scared of getting killed and seeing death! That's why we, as your brothers, decided to protect you, keeping you far from bloodshed! And last but most importantly…"Caspian then paused, musing to himself and turned to Jasper. "Ugh. You tell him, Jas."Jasper's eyes narrowed darkly, but said, "You're a doctor, and your h

Madam Holbrook tugged on Sylas' hand as she demanded, "What's going on here?! Did you cause more trouble for Jas now?!"Sylas shook her hand off right then and snapped angrily, "Why do you always side with Jasper, Grandma? They've never once considered me a friend! They were deceiving you—"Smack!Madam Holbrook had slapped Sylas audibly across the face before he could finish and snapped, "You fool! Just listen to yourself! When you were away, Jasper, Conrad, and Caspian always came to visit an old bag like me, taking me out on walks or just keeping me company!"Each of them has been a better grandchild to me than you have! And I know for a fact that they do it for your sake! Heck, when the village bullies tried to harass me, they would beat them up for me! When our cattle got stolen, they brought them back!"Sylas, however, was defiant and wringing his hands as he bellowed, "Why would you remember such ancient history?! They have money and power! Helping you is just a matter of t

Madam Holbrook sighed, seeing that Sylas was remorseful. "If Jasper didn't think of you as a brother, would he have entrusted you with his fiancee's life? She was pregnant too, and that means he trusted you to protect two lives. And you still thought he doesn't trust you?!"It was a wake-up call for Sylas that left him stunned, his eyes wide as he slid limply off his chair, his tears raining like a broken string of pearls.Suddenly, he started to bawl out loud and kept slapping himself. "No… It's all my fault… I'm a jerk, I'm so sorry…"-In the evening, Sylas' face was red and swollen when he returned to stand before Jasper.Caspian was shaking his leg, munching on a grape, and spat a seed into the bin loudly. He rolled his eyes at Sylas, looking like he would really rather have spat at Sylas' face instead.Conrad eventually sighed. "What is it?"Sylas still stared fixedly at Jasper and dropped to his knees as the trio looked on.His knees struck the floor so loudly as he di

Donald was still in a bad mood and locked himself in his room, while Will and Quincy were busy playing with Ario.They had been yearning for a grandson for years, and Quincy was naturally overjoyed to have one now. She was intent on spending every moment she could with him and certainly couldn't care less about Jasper.Heading upstairs, Jasper entered his bedroom to find Renee in bed, holding a book.Seeing that Jasper was home, Renee closed the book and said, "Welcome back. Have you had dinner?"Jasper nodded. "What about you?"He had dreamed of this scene endlessly—he would marry Renee, and after working in the daytime, he would return home to find his wife waiting.Such dreams only increased tenfold in the years she went missing. He would imagine Renee returning to his side as they both revel in marital bliss, with him making a living while she stayed at home.And because he had fantasized about it so many times, the scene before him seemed like a dream even now."Yeah," R
