“Jasper, I admit that I hate you to your bones and I want you to die, but you have to believe that Fabian was really the person who ordered me to do this. He even taught me how to mess with the brakes. How else would I know how to do something like that?”
As if terrified that Jasper would not believe him, Calvin explained sincerely.
Jasper replied calmly, “I knew that you’re telling me the truth when you said it was Fabian.”
Calvin exhaled in relief. He did plan to hide the truth or lie to Jasper, but he gave it some thought and realized that there was no way Fabian would be willing to save him right now.
Since that was the case, then he might as well tell Jasper everything in return for his safety.
At least he would be sent to prison safely now.
Having been in prison once, Calvin did not mind returning. However, he did care about whether he was carried in or if he would be able to walk in himself.
“Jul, report him to the police and let them deal with him.”
Calvin was about to cry from joy when he heard Jasper.
After Julian brought Calvin away, Jasper sat in the office chair with a solemn look on his face.
Fallon observed the situation and left the office as well, having remained silent the entire time.
She knew that she was no longer needed here.
Wendy stayed.
She walked over to Jasper and squatted down to put her face over the back of his hand as she said, “Don’t be angry anymore. I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
Jasper chuckled, the gloomy cloud over him disappearing, and he pulled Wendy up. Ignoring her gasp and embarrassment, he pulled her down to sit on his lap.
“I’m just afraid of what might have happened.”
Jasper hugged Wendy and said, “What if Fallon didn’t find out about this? What if something happened to you? I could rip my enemies to shreds and that still wouldn’t bring you back to me.”
Wendy chided, “Nonsense, nothing’s going to happen to me.”
“Yes, yes, nonsense…” Jasper smiled.
Wendy was not just an ordinary girl, after all. While she was scared of what-ifs, the incident had already passed, and she had already let it go and moved on.
“Fabian is powerful. You have to endure this a little longer.”
Wendy told Jasper seriously.
“Now isn’t the time for you to turn against him.”
Jasper gave her a small smile, “Don’tworry. I know my limits.”
Wendy pouted when she heard Jasper.
She knew that every time Jasper wore this expression or said something like this, it meant that he had already made his decision. More often than not, the man would not change his mind.
Therefore, Wendy did not linger on the topic and said gently, “Then I’ll get back to work first. Promise me you won’t be angry anymore.”
“Okay,” Jasper watched Wendy leave the room.
A short moment after the office door closed, the silence was suddenly broken by the loud crash of a shattered teacup.
Julian opened the office door after finishing his part only to see Jasper sitting silently and alone behind the office desk
“Jul, go find out who else Fabian has here in Nauritus City. He’s got to have men here, find all of them,” Jasper demanded.
“Alright.” Julian nodded and left quietly.
After Julian left, Jasper grabbed the office phone and called a number he had gotten from Henry a long time ago but never contacted.
A moment later, the call connected.
“Hello? Who’s this?”
A young man’s voice sounded on the other end of the line.
“Fabian Atticus. You’ve targeted me both in secret and in the open many times, but you’ve truly angered me this time.”
