Jasper could completely retire from this line of work and do what he truly wanted. Jasper shook his head. “I don’t
want to leave for now.”
He had an attachment to this place-it was where he had grown up and where he had accepted his missions. Only
here could he find peace of mind.
Antoine nodded and wrote, ‘Then rest well. Don’t concern yourself with Miss Presgrave unless it’s necessary!
As Antoine handed the phone over to him, his gaze turned slightly serious. He could see all of Jasper’s traces on
the internet, so whatever he did or looked up, his subordinates would report it to him. Jasper lowered his head. “I
understand.”
Back at her home, Willow didn’t feel like doing anything. She stared at her phone, waiting for a message. She
didn’t know if she would receive it, but she wouldn't give up.
Just then, a message notification sounded. Willow's eyes widened in happiness as she quickly picked up her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtphone to check. However, the message was from Leslie.
‘Willow, what are you up to? Leslie took the initiative to start a conversation. The initial joy in Willow's eyes was
instantly replaced by a sense of disappointment. She replied to Leslie and continued to wait for another
message. ‘Tomorrow, | have a club event. It's a lot of fun.
Would you like to cwith me?’ Leslie extended the invitation. Willow thought for a moment, feeling a mix of
frustration and resignation. She replied, ‘Sure, I'd like to join."
‘That's great! I'll pick you up tomorrow.” Leslie sent a smiley face. Willow responded, ‘Alright, see you tomorrow.”
She wasn't in the mood to chat right now. Then, she looked at the time-it was already eleven at night. She didn’t
know if she would receive the message she was waiting for.
Feeling a bit thirsty, Willow got up and went downstairs to get swater. At this moment, she saw her elder
brother and father downstairs, discussing company business.
Willow couldn't help but crouch down beside the stairs, eavesdropping on their conversation. After all, she had
done this kind of thing many times before and had gained sexperience.
Naturally, they didn’t notice her. Their discussion about work was rather boring to her. She couldn't understand a
word of what they were saying about company operations and project development.
She often wondered how her mother managed an international jewelry store so successfully, while her father
and elder brother were both business geniuses. It seemed like it was just her who hadn't inherited the business
genes.
Willow felt quite helpless about it. Just when she was getting bored and thinking of going. upstairs with the bottle
of water, she suddenly heard Jared's voice change as he asked their father a question.
“Dad, have you talked to Mr. Llyod? Is Jasper recovering?”
Elliot's voice cthrough. “Yes, I've talked to him. He said Jasper has basically recovered, but the Wyatt Family
doesn’t want any further contact with our family.”

Willow's eyes widened suddenly. She was overcwith excitement, and she almost let out a surprised
exclamation. However, she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any noise, because she
wanted to eavesdrop on more of the conversation.
However, her heart was screaming with joy. Hel was still alive; she just knew it.
Tears of joy welled up in Willow's eyes, though she was smiling. Her eyes sparkled like crescent moons. This was
the happiest she had been in a long time.
Even though she heard her father say that the Wyatt Family didn’t want Jasper to have any contact with her, it
didn’t matter. As long as he was alive, there was hope of meeting again!
At this moment, Jared sighed. “So, it seems we have no way to repay him. He sacrificed so much for Willow, and
he almost lost his life.”
“With his status, even if we wanted to repay him, he wouldn't accept it.”
“That's true. We've been keeping this from Willow, but I'm worried that she’ll find out one day. When that
happens...”
