“Things Fabian’s had his fun with, I find disgusting.”
Dominique then pulled his hand back after that and pulled out a clean white handkerchief to wipe the fingers that touched Lisa’s chin.
This action had Lisa, her face colorless, feeling further humiliated.
“If you want to live, I’m not the person you should be turning to. Ask him instead.”
Dominique pointed at Jasper.
Lisa and Norman looked over.
Jasper’s expression remained calm.
From the short conversation between Dominique and Lisa, Jasper had acutely caught on to something
important.
Dominique knew about Fabian, and he also knew of the relationship Lisa had with him.
This was worth pondering on.
“Ja-Jasper.”
Norman looked at Jasper. His gaze was conflicted as he called the man’s name with great difficulty.
Jasper’s gaze fell on Norman calmly.
There was no mockery nor any hint of boastfulness in his tone as Jasper’s gaze remained calm and unaffected.
Norman took a deep breath and suddenly fell to his knees in front of Jasper.
Bending his knees and leaning forward, Norman knelt curtly in front of Jasper.
“Dad! ” Lisa screamed and rushed to Norman’s side. She tried her best to pull him back onto his feet.
“What are you doing, Dad? Why are you kneeling for Jasper? You’ve gone mad!”
However, Norman pushed Lisa away and stared intently at Jasper. He looked extremely exhausted and aged.
“I’ll kneel for you, Jasper. I don’t ask that you let me go, but please let Lisa leave.”
“I’ll take responsibility for everything. I know that I’m in no position to talk about conditions. But as a father, the is the last thing I can do.”
Norman then bent over until his forehead hit the floor harshly.
He had prostrated in front of Jasper.
“Dad!”
Lisa shrieked, her tone tragic and utterly heartbreaking.
Despite this, Norman did not change his posture. He did not move, nor did he say anything. It was as if he were waiting for Jasper’s reply.
Jasper had yet to say anything since they appeared.
Dominique looked at Jasper playfully. He seemed to be admiring this play; It was an act much more interesting than the ballet performance from earlier.
The atmosphere immediately grew heavy.
He could not tell if it was due to his weak body or psychological fear, but Norman’s body began to tremble as he awaited Jasper’s reply.
Norman was moments away from collapsing when a hand grabbed onto his arm and helped him to his feet.
“I help you up in admiration for your fatherly love. This alone makes you stronger than Ian.”
Ecstasy graced Norman’s pale face.
‘Was Jasper agreeing to let them go?’
