The moment those words entered Alex's ears, he immediately let out a laugh filled with disbelief.
"Do you truly not know, or are you simply pretending not to know?" Alex leaned back slightly while staring directly into Mr. Green's eyes.
"Have you forgotten how Jasper constantly tormented me?"
His voice gradually turned colder.
"He made sure I starved regularly despite living under the same roof. I barely even had proper clothes to wear."
Alex's fingers slowly tightened unconsciously beneath the table.
