Female Novel
Chapter 2068
Willow knew that he was just concerned about her. So, she reached out and hugged his waist whilelooking at him with a pitiful expression. “Please, just let me go underwater! I promise I will be careful,Jasper.”
After that, she held his hand and swung it around, as if he was the decision-maker for this projectwhereas she was just his employee.
In reality, Willow was the one who called the shots here!
“You will have to stay close to me and not leave my sight.” The man sighed. He was only willing tocompromise if she agreed to his terms.
Willow immediately hugged his neck happily as she tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. “Got it! I willdefinitely stay by your side.”
Jasper let out a soft sigh. “You’ll be the death of me.”
However, she was grinning from ear to ear. His words merely meant that she had the ability to controlhim!
To her, this was definitely not a bad thing! She now had the upper hand on him and could keep him inthe palm of her hand forever.
No other woman was allowed to get close to him except for her. In fact, she could already feel a waveof jealousy wash over her at just the thought of this.
Such an intense feeling of possessiveness was something she had never felt toward anyone elsebefore.
After they decided on the time to dive, everyone started to prepare their equipment. None of themdawdled as they wasted no time in getting underwater. The seabed was clear, and as it was a shallowsea, these relics had been quietly resting here for a thousand years. Some metals still emitted asparkling glow under the sunlight.
Willow wore a diving suit and followed closely beside Jasper. Frankly, they looked like a lovely mermanand mermaid swimming together as they donned tight-fitting suits.
Jasper would frequently turn around to look at her, and she would swiftly respond by giving him athumbs-up gesture, indicating that she was doing fine.
The salvaging work soon began. She cleaned the relics and placed them on the salvage equipmentnearby as he stayed beside her like a dutiful sentinel. Sometimes, he would help her take the largeritems from her.
The first day of salvage was a great success. According to the list, they had salvaged two hundredrelics on the first day. It was incredibly exciting for them.
At the same time, Jett was constantly observing the island, not knowing what Willow was up to. Aperson wearing a diving suit entered his sight right then.novelbin
He instantly understood what was happening and angrily flung the binoculars aside. “The relics are inthe sea, and Willow Presgrave is salvaging them. Damn it!”
Once he said that, he started scolding the people who had refused to go underwater a few days ago.“You people have ruined my grand plan.”
“But… we really saw several sharks swimming in the sea that day.”
“I don’t care. I don’t care if there are sharks or not. Prepare the diving suits and go underwaterimmediately. I want to know if the relics are in the sea! We have to grab some for ourselves before theyare done salvaging.”
Jett’s subordinates didn’t dare to tarry a second longer. Since Willow’s people were alreadyunderwater, they were fine with making the same trip. Thus, they hastily put on the diving equipmentand were ready to dive toward Willow’s cruise ship.
Meanwhile, Willow also received some news.
“What? Jett’s people have also gone underwater? How many of them are there?”
“There are over a dozen of them. They’ve already gotten into the water. Miss, please notify Ricky andstop them.”
Willow immediately called for a meeting, instructing Ricky to take 20 bodyguards and stop these diversfrom approaching the salvage site.
“I’m going too,” Jasper suggested.
Willow couldn’t help but look at him with worry upon hearing his words. It was such a turn of events asit was now her turn to worry. She wasn’t just worried about the safety of her bodyguards, but also abouthis safety.
After the meeting, she publicly held his hand. She sounded stiff when she muttered, “Come with me.”
This surprised some onlookers. Why is Miss holding this man? What is their relationship?
She paid no mind to their astonished gazes as she all but dragged him into the room and pressed himagainst the wall. “You can’t go, Jasper.”
