Valeria flinched but kept her chin up defiantly. “Cassian would never actually care about someone like Anastasia.”
What was there to be afraid of? What a bunch of cowards.

Whitney quickly grabbed her daughter’s
“Valeria, apologize to your father right now!”
Whitney knew Sharpson well enough to know he wouldn’t tolerate any pushback.
Valeria bit her lip hard before finally forcing out, “…Sorry.”
Sharpson took a deep breath, trying to control his rage. “Keep a low profile for a while. Don’t draw any attention to yourself. I’ve already got people handling damage control, hopefully we can come out of this clean.”

Valeria reluctantly muttered, “Fine.”

Her phone started ringing, and thinking it was Cassian, she answered with a bright smile.

“I’m trying to have a serious conversation here,” Jasper said, irritation creeping into his voice.

With that, Anastasia hung up.
Jasper was left speechless, hearing only the dial tone.
What did she mean by ‘side piece‘?
Was this connected to Valeria somehow?
Jasper’s frown deepened.
