Chapter 52 - The Kind and Magnanimous Aiko Chen (2/2)

”You are just a Chen. Who gave you the right to make decisions for the Mo family?”

The sudden change of color of Aiko's face amused Luna who'd been listening intently between them.

”I was just trying to remind you…” Aiko suppressed a sob.

”Then, should I remind you too of your rightful place, Aiko Chen?” Jasper raised a brow at her.

He didn't dare to conceal the hatred and disgust he felt for this woman. If Aiko thought that she managed to snatch Luna's place as his woman because he slept with her, then she's gravely mistaken.

”Aiko Chen, you're really getting better and better scheming behind our back. Did you enjoy ruining someone's relationship? And you've got some nerve to use the Mo family, huh?”

Just then, the voice of an angry woman came and joined them at the balcony.

”Jasper, what's happening here?”

It was Jasper's stepmother who was already in her early fifties. She was dressed in an old-fashioned dress with gold laces, but they didn't succeed in giving her a classic elegant look. Instead, it gave her a pretentious impression.

Luna raised a brow when she saw the old woman. She suddenly thought that her mother looked better than Chairman Mo's second wife. Her facial features didn't have any resemblance to Jasper's refined, handsome face.

If her guess was right, this old woman must be the one who helped Aiko put a rift between her and Jasper.

”Oh, Madam Mo.” Jasper's eyes were filled with ridicule as his shoulders slacked slightly when he buried his hands on his side pockets. ”You indeed prepared an entertaining show tonight for me to enjoy. Too bad I'm sick and tired of your games.”

The old woman broke in a cold sweat at Jasper's words. She couldn't believe her lies have been found out by him. She was so glad that they were out of everyone's earshot, or else there would be a big scandal the next day.

”It's not what you think, Jasper. This… this is for your own good. What are you trying to stir up? Tonight is very important. Our family…”

”Madam Mo should mind her own business and shouldn't test my patience any longer. You aren't my mother.” Every word Jasper utter was like a stab on the woman's ċhėst.

Seeing that the scene wasn't favorable to her and Madam Mo, Aiko tried to divert the issue back at Luna Jiang.

”I'm so sorry, Auntie.” She sobbed pitifully. ”Have I known Jasper would be like this, I shouldn't have invited Miss Jiang to attend,” Aiko said pitifully before lowering her face and covering it with both hands, not letting them see the sinister smile on her lips.

'Ah, Luna Jiang. Did you just think that Jasper could save you?'

Luna's eyes widened in shock. This Aiko was really something!

A few months ago, this woman was so delicate and kind, Luna hadn't expected she was being schemed by Aiko.
