“But Terence is your brother!”
Honey spoke as tears streamed down her face. “And… And Jasper too. Why does he have to send Terence to prison? Sure, Terence has made a mistake, but he’s still his cousin. A little punishment would’ve been enough. You said he won’t hold Terence accountable, so why is this happening now?”
Darrel sighed deeply and spoke, “I didn’t want to believe Jasper when he told me that Terence would definitely betray him, so I made a promise to Jasper. If Terence betrayed him, it means that there’s no saving him anymore and this is our only option left.
“If he didn’t betray Jasper, then Jasper would let him go.
“Terence may only be an accomplice, but he could point Jasper to the culprit who’s behind everything. This means a lot to Jasper because those people plotting against him are actually plotting for his death!
“This is already the most benevolent option Jasper can make.”
With his eyebrows knitted tightly, Darrel’s father hit his thigh and clenched his jaw tight. “He’ll have to deal with the consequences of his own mistake. This is the most we can do for him. Enough already, we can only hope that Jasper will remember how we’re cooperating with him this time and help Darrel with his business.”
…
Under Jasper’s instructions, Sirius managed to drive his car into the underground car park of the apartment block without any difficulties.
Quickly after, Sirius hastily arrived at Zayden’s apartment with two bodyguards in tow.
“Zayden, what…”
Sirius’ eyes widened as his expression became filled with disbelief when he saw Jasper standing in front of Zayden.
Zayden was grinning. “Jasper had been waiting for me in my house long ago, Uncle Sirius.”
Sirius furrowed his brows, feeling slightly unsettled as he asked grimly, “What’s happening here?”
“Nothing much.”
Zayden scoffed and replied in a wretched tone, “Jasper just can’t wait to die!”
Sirius furrowed his brows slightly.
To be frank, Sirius would very much rather sit at home with victory in his grasp than to be exposed to his opponent before the plan even started.
Zayden’s move caused a huge wave of unease to surge in his heart, and he had an ominous feeling.
“What do you want, Zayden?” Sirius asked.
Zayden guffawed. “What do I want? I want Jasper to watch as we destroy everything that belongs to him!
“Uncle Sirius, since we’ve already prepared everything and are going to make our move tomorrow, I don’t see why we can’t tell him about it tonight. But we won’t tell him the specifics of what we’re going to do and he’ll just have to guess!
“You love playing guessing games, don’t you, Jasper? Then take your time and guess. Guess how exactly we’re going to screw you over!
“But all you have is one night. So what if you manage to guess it? You won’t have time to prepare for a counterattack anyway. What a great feeling, wouldn’t you say? Hahaha.”
As he laughed, Zayden began to feel that something was wrong.
Jasper was now looking at him like he was stupid, and Julian’s gaze on him was downright pitiful as well.
“Why are you looking at me like that?! Stop pretending that you’re going to be fine. You’re frantic, aren’t you? Aren’t you angry?” Zayden barked out resentfully.
Jasper sighed and spoke, “Looks like there’s no more information we can squeeze out of him.
“Have them come up, Jul.”
