Despite that, he sounded extremely gentle. “Who did this?”
Wendy did not answer, but instead, she raised her arms and wrapped them around Jasper’s neck tightly.
Wendy had always been pampered since childhood and never suffered any hardships in life. At this moment, she finally shed all pretenses and cried out bitterly.
This woman might look soft and weak, but she could be strong and tough too—much tougher than any girl her age.
She would try and solve everything herself no matter what happened instead of going to Dawson and Jasper first thing itself.
This was her first time being kidnapped, and even though she was nearly ruined by Ben and Hans, both of who were extremely vicious and almost sadistic men, she knew when to advance and retreat without losing a sense of propriety.
When she saw Jasper, however, she could not hold herself back anymore.
She was just a girl in her 20s after all and would experience fear and terror just like everyone else.
Wendy trembled like a frightened little rabbit in Jasper’s arms, and her extremely aggrieved cries made his heart quiver.
Guilt and regret washed over him like a tide.
From the day he was reincarnated until now, fear was nonexistent even when he first started investing. He had used up all of his savings and one and only house loan, putting all of it into the futures market. He risked having his reputation swept away if he was not careful enough.
In Harbor City, fear was nonexistent even when he hosted a 100-billion-dollar rescue plan, running the risk of losing everything if he took one wrong step. Everything he fought so hard for would go down the drain.
In Swallow Capital, fear was nonexistent when he faced the Turners and the oppression of the aristocrats.
Right now, however, fear had washed over Jasper.
He feared that something would happen to Wendy.
He feared that irreversible things would happen.
Wendy was crying. After experiencing emotional turmoil and finally being able to vent out her feelings, she passed out.
“Guards!” Jasper held Wendy in his arms and shouted outside the door.
Two female bodyguards standing outside the door rushed in immediately.
“Mr. Laine,” the female bodyguards called out to him.
“Take Ms. Wendy into the car to get some rest. Has the doctor arrived?” Jasper said solemnly.
“The doctor has arrived and is waiting downstairs,” the two female bodyguards answered, carefully helping Wendy up.
Jasper stood up once the female bodyguards carried the unconscious Wendy downstairs.
He looked at Hans and then at Ben.
After taking a deep breath, he asked softly, “How do you wish to die?”
Hans was sweating profusely from the pain, but he sneered when he heard what Jasper said, paying no heed to it.
In his opinion, Jasper did not have the guts to lay a finger on him.
Ben, on the other hand, stared fixedly at Jasper and exclaimed, “How is this possible?! How did you find this place?!”
Jasper pretended as though he did not hear what Ben just said. He walked up to him, lifted his leg, and stepped on Ben’s palm while muttering, “Was this the hand you used to slap Wendy?”
As soon as he said those words, Jasper stomped on Ben’s palm and began grinding his foot hard.
“Arghhh!”
A bone-piercing pain gushed forth from the palm of Ben’s hand and shot straight to his heart. He opened his mouth and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The shrill cries could chill the hearts of those who heard it.
