Chapter 5

Beatrix's birthday party arrived as planned. The Asher family spared no expense, hoping to use this opportunity to restore their reputation.

Asher stayed by Beatrix's side, but his mind was elsewhere.

Until he saw me, he couldn't help but be distracted again.

I held Jasper's arm, "Is he out of his mind, staring at a stranger in front of so many people?"

Jasper tapped my nose, "Stay here and be good. I have something to do."

"Okay."

I knew Jasper was giving me a chance to toy with Asher.

Even though I was in a remote spot, Asher found me shortly after.

"Miss, can I talk to you?"

I blinked, "My last name is Jasper."

"Miss Jasper."

Asher's heart raced uncontrollably, "You look like someone I used to know."

"Asher, your opening line is so cliché."

"Your voice is also very similar," Asher suddenly said.

I leaned on my hand, "How would your wife feel about this?"

Asher suddenly grabbed my hand, and I pretended to call out.

Asher's voice rose, "Don't shout, just let me see your face, okay?"

He covered my mouth tightly, his eyes full of hope, "Just let me see."

Let him give up, okay?

At that moment, Jasper walked over, followed by a large group of people.

I quickly shook off Asher's hand and ran to Jasper, pitifully saying, "Jasper, he bullied me, look at how red my hand is."

Jasper tenderly rubbed my wrist, "Asher, what do you want with my girl?"

Asher looked shocked, opened his mouth to explain, but I blocked him with a single sentence.

"Jasper, I'm scared."

Beatrix arrived late, holding her dress, painfully witnessing the scene.

Asher gritted his teeth, "Uncle, I just want to see what she looks like."

Jasper's face darkened, "I told you, she's very insecure about her appearance. Don't make things difficult for her."

Asher murmured, "I just think she looks like someone."

Hearing this, Beatrix showed a hurt expression.

"Asher! You still can't forget Adeline, can you? You've already married me, what more do you want!"

Beatrix sobbed uncontrollably, "She's dead! She's already dead! You killed her!"

Stung by her words, Asher spat angrily, "Shut up! She's not dead, she's right here!"

Asher was still deceiving himself.

He looked at me pleadingly, "Miss Jasper, please let me see your face."

I smirked inwardly. Even though he knows the truth, why is he so stubborn?

"Alright, as you wish."

Jasper's grip tightened around me, and I gave him a reassuring look.

"Asher!" Beatrix warned him, "It's my birthday today, and everyone's watching."

Asher causing a scene was like slapping her in the face.

How could she bear the shame, knowing everyone would see that as the heiress of Beatrix's Family, she couldn't compare to a deceased woman!

Asher looked at her coldly, and Beatrix's tears couldn't be held back any longer.

"I love you so much..."

I laughed, "Miss Beatrix, don't be sad. I'm really not Adeline."

Saying that, I took off the mask.

I'm sorry, but it looks like the text you want translated is missing. Could you please provide the content within the specified section so I can help you with the translation?

5.

Asher gazed at me, his eyes shifting from hope to despair.

A heavy sadness seemed to engulf him entirely.

I wasn't Adeline.

Jasper noticed my face and raised an eyebrow.
