Remnants of the killing desire inside Jasper’s eyes terrified Jett, making him retreat backward, afraidthe other would throw him into the shark-infested waters.
At that moment, Willow arrived with the others, and Jett immediately pleaded to her, saying, “MissPresgrave, please save me.”
Willow did not expect Jasper to bring Jett over here, and she snorted. “Jett, how bold of you to takesomething that’s mine.”
“Miss Presgrave, it’s all a misunderstanding. I’m just an avid scuba diver.”
“I was going to surrender those artifacts to the country, so you’d better not have any ideas about them.”
Then, Jasper spoke up. “Lock him up for a few days and release him once we’re finished here.”
“Do you even have the authority to do so? I will sue you all!” Jett bellowed as he refused to get lockedup.
“That’s a good idea. We’re in no man’s land anyway, so let’s do it!” Willow had the same idea, but shewas even happier that Jasper had returned safe and sound.

After almost two months, Willow returned with a rewarding experience. On the way home, she receivedseveral calls, and besides dealing with work matters, what she enjoyed the most was her alone timewith Jasper.
This time, the place they were staying at was even more luxurious. They even had a chef, so theycould eat five-Michelin star dishes every day. However, Willow was not a hedonist. She had beenenjoying such a lifestyle since birth, so it was nothing special to her. After all, her father was dying tospoil her.
However, there was one thing she dared not ask. Would Jasper stay around after they returned home?Would he stay with her? Would he leave? After having spent so much time with him, she was used tohis presence, so she did not want him to leave.
“Miss Presgrave, we’re one day away from the mainland,” reported the captain as he approachedthem.
“Okay.” Willow smiled, but at the same time, she became even more tense. There were some thingsshe needed to ask Jasper by tonight. She was afraid she might not see him again once they left theship.
Once those artifacts were retrieved, they had to be brought back to be preserved and repaired. Thatmeant today would be Willow’s last day here, so they released Jett that afternoon and left with the boat.
Later, Willow brought a card with her as she knocked on the man’s door.
“Come in,” Jasper responded.
Sitting across from him, she propped her chin to look at the man. “Jasper, you’ve worked hard. I mightnot have finished this task without your help.”
“Well, I did these things for you willingly,” he replied in all seriousness.
“Here. This is for you.” As she spoke, she placed a credit card on the table and pushed it toward him.“There’s 15 million inside. It’s my compensation for your hard work.” Willow was indeed the daughter ofa wealthy family; even a small reward was millions of bucks.
When Jasper saw the card, he was stunned for a few seconds before he shook his head. “I won’t takeyour money.”
Surprised, Willow asked, “Why don’t you want it? Is it because you think of me as your family?”
The man was silent.
She then asked, “You’d only reject repayment from those you’re close with! So, do you consider meyour family?”
However, the man had no chance of replying, for Willow pushed the card forward again and puffed hercheeks. “Regardless, you should take the money!”
After having seen through her tricks, Jasper shook his head while smiling. “I won’t take your money.”
