Chapter 1222

Confession

“Oh? Did you grow up in an orphanage? Why have I never heard about this before?” Since he’s a
famous idol, why didn’t the public expose his family background earlier on?

She hardly ever paid attention to the news about the entertainment industry, but she had done favors
for the top guns in the industry. However, she never knew that Jason was an orphan.

“When I debuted, the company I signed for had my family background and academic qualifications
covered up. Of course, my academic qualifications are legit. It’s just that I didn’t come from a rich
family. They even forbid me to come back here or have any sort of contact with the orphanage.” Jason
smiled bitterly.

“Then, how about what you’re doing now?”

“Well, now I’m no longer in any contract with my ex-employer. Nightshire Entertainment doesn’t care
about my private life. That’s why I can just come here as I wish. However, if this does get exposed, I’d
have to answer to the reporters.” Despite his words, Jason sounded like he didn’t mind getting exposed
at all. I’m who I am, and I’ll always be connected to this orphanage.

Needless to say, Arielle felt as if she understood Jason a little more upon hearing that. It turns out
everyone has secrets to keep. My secret is that I’m not Henrick’s biological daughter. But instead of
keeping it a secret, I publicized it in a court of law.

As for Jason, he wasn’t the son of some tycoon. Instead, he grew up in an orphanage.

Perhaps, it was because Jason had let Arielle in on his secret, so a sense of empathy rose in Arielle’s
heart.





Arielle moved her lips while intending to say something to lift up the solemn atmosphere. However, she
could only say, “Best of luck.”

Upon hearing that, Jason shrugged slightly.

He then looked at her and said, “I know you’re not only the chairman of Sann Group, but you’re also a
graduate of Maxwell University. From the fans’ perspectives, I might be someone incredible. However, I
know I’m a nobody in your eyes.”

Arielle shook her head, but she didn’t interrupt his speech. Instead, she gave him a look signaling him
to continue.

“There were a lot of conflicts between us in the past. In hindsight, I feel rather bad for the childish
things I’ve done to you. I’d like to apologize for my foolish actions,” Jason added.

“That’s really necessary.” Arielle paused and continued, “To be honest, I think I owe you an apology as
well. I haven’t been nice to you since the first time we met. So I guess we are even!”

Delighted, Jason couldn’t help but ask, “Arielle, what do you think about… No, scrap that. I’ll just cut to
the chase. Arielle, I like you, and I want to be in a relationship with you. I know you’re married, but
since Vinson has cheated on you, that means he’s not even committed to you. Just divorce him, and be
with me, okay? I swear that I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life!”

Arielle was flabbergasted. “You like me?”

“Yes!” Jason nodded profusely. “I really do!”

The two of them fell silent after that.



Arielle was bewildered. Err… my nemesis, Jason, likes me? Did he just confess his feelings to me even
after he has found out that I’m married?

“I’m so sorry, but this is too sudden. Actually, Vinson and I, we’re-”
