After Julian went out, Jasper took a deep breath and sat on the chair. There was a deep look on his face.
Nearly a year since his reincarnation, Jasper had grown accustomed to having everything under his control.
There were rarely situations of things happening beyond his expectations.
Today, Jasper suddenly realized that he was not a god and he had not done enough in many things.
Keeping Wendy safe was one.
Why did he allow Wendy to go out and run about when he had already discovered that someone was following her?
Even if it meant hiring bodyguards, he should have hired a few more female bodyguards to protect her!
At this moment, Jasper was extremely upset. He felt a surging wave of resentment and regret in his chest that were roaring like sea waves.
Successive victories had caused him to lose himself and become overconfident.
Right now, the question remained, where exactly was Wendy?
If the Hulls and Gardners did it, what would they do to Wendy?
Jasper was afraid to delve deeper into his thoughts. He was a little flustered now.
At that moment, the door to the study opened and Dawson walked in.
“Uncle Dawson.” Jasper stood up, looking guilty.
“Sit down.” Dawson waved his hand and sat down across from Jasper.
“I already know what’s going on and have sent someone to investigate it. You must not be thrown into confusion at this time. Remember, no matter who the other party is, they have their reasons for doing this. Before they reveal their purpose, we know that Wendy is safe.”
Jasper took a deep breath and blamed himself, saying, “Actually, there have been signs, but I was too careless.”
Dawson said in a rather understanding manner, “I know my daughter all too well. She doesn’t like being restrained and disciplined. Besides, she’s an adult who has hands and feet. What could you possibly have done? Tie her up?”
Jasper said in a deep voice, “I shouldn’t have been so careless at least. It’s all my fault!”
Dawson got up, walked around to the back of the desk, and patted Jasper on the shoulder. He said softly, “I understand how you feel. When Wendy’s mother had an accident back then, I sank into immense self-blame and agony for a very long time.
“As a man, this is the price you have to pay in order to protect your family and woman. Unless, of course, you’re willing to be an ordinary person who lives an ordinary life.
“However, how can you just be resigned to circumstances your whole life even when a storm strikes?
“I don’t blame you, nor will Wendy, but you must cheer up and use your fist to show those who have offended you that certain things can cost them their lives!”
Jasper raised his head and looked at Dawson. At this moment, Dawson’s eyes were full of trust and encouragement. There was no hint of blame or criticism at all.
Jasper stood up and took a deep breath. Clenching his fists, he said, “I know what to do now.”
Pleased, Dawson nodded and said, “Now that’s the Jasper I know. Remember, no matter what you encounter, don’t throw yourself into confusion because as soon as you do that, the enemy will have succeeded by more than half.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
A servant walked in with a folder and said, “Mr. Schuler, Mr. Laine, someone put this at the door just now. He said that you need to take a look at it and left after that.”
Jasper took the folder and saw a compact disc in it.
He inserted the CD into the computer and clicked on the video file inside.
The screen flashed. It showed a room with a drowsy woman lying on the bed. That woman was none other than Wendy.
Ben’s face emerged in front of the camera, and he was smiling triumphantly.
“Surprised, Jasper?
“I don’t know what you’re feeling right now, but I can tell you that I’m enjoying myself a lot! Hahahahaha!”
