“Okay, but this matter should be kept low key.”
Jasper smiled when Chief Barrow agreed. He said, “Thank you, Chief Barrow. JW will donate a batch of police equipment to the Harbor City police. I presume Chief Barrow will be very satisfied.”
Chief Barrow laughed.
How did Jasper obtain his current status and wealth at a young age? It seemed that he was sensible and he knew what to do at any appropriate times. Besides, he knew how to be a suck-up when he needed to.
Who did not like young people like this?
“Thank you very much, Mr. Laine. Moreover, according to the rules, we have to take a report from Ms. Schuler. However, considering Ms. Schuler’s situation, we will send police officers over to take notes a few days after Ms. Schuler feels better.”
Chief Barrow was very gifted at doing
someone favors with little cost.
“Thank you for your consideration, Chief
Barrow.”
This matter was settled after exchanging
a few words.
After sending off Chief Barrow, Jasper
turned his head and looked at Henry, who
looked resentful and embarrassed to see
him.
“Why do you look so wilted?” Jasper
asked.
Henry said with a look of embarrassment,
“Look how big of a mess this caused…”
After he finished speaking, Henry’s eyes
fell on Phoenix. Then, his expression.
instantly became sinister.
“That punk did this, right?”
“That’s enough.”
Jasper stopped Henry, who was about to
rush to give Phoenix an earful. He said, “He is just a pawn that’s being used. I kept
him around because he’s useful. Fabian
and his gang were the ones who did this.”
Henry widened his eyes and yelled, “I
knew it was those motherf*ckers! They
are so shameless to use all these filthy
and nasty tricks. F*ck! If I see them, I’ll
break their legs!”
Henry’s anger was justified.
Although this matter had no direct
connection with him, at the end of the
day, Henry had always boasted that
Harbor City was his territory, yet the
kidnapping had happened here. Wendy
came over on Jasper’s behalf and ran into
trouble.
It made Henry feel ashamed to see Jasper.
Fortunately, Wendy was fine. If
something had happened to her, Henry
would truly be ashamed to show his face i
n front of Jasper.
“Let’s go back to talk about this.”
Jasper patted Henry on the shoulder and
said, “You don’t have to blame yourself,
even I didn’t expect it, let alone you.”
Compared to his heavy heart he had on
the way here, Jasper was feeling much
relieved on the way back.
Jasper thought Wendy would be quite
frightened and he would need to comfort
her. However, he was pushed away by the
latter. Then, Jasper saw Anna and Wendy
looking at each other.
The two women did not speak. They just
looked at each other with half-hearted
smiles and then at Jasper.
This scene of this battlefield made Jasper
feel like he was in trouble.
Fortunately, Fallon’s arrival eased
Jasper’s embarrassment.
“Ms. Schuler, I…”
When Wendy saw Fallon, who blamed
herself so much that she could not form
words, she said, “What’s wrong? This has
nothing to do with you. You don’t need to
blame yourself.”
Fallon gritted her teeth and said, ”
However, if I didn’t ask for leave, nothing
would have happened to you.”
“If I was targeted by some evil people,
they would have eventually succeeded
even if they failed this time. They would
have eventually found the chance to take action. You don’t need to blame yourself too much. Look, aren’t I fine and dandy now?”
Fallon’s eyes turned red when she looked a t Wendy comforting her instead.
“Right, you can’t blame others for this. If you want someone to blame, then wouldn’t I be one of the accomplices?”
Anna’s immediately sentence ignited a flame.
