Female Novel
Chapter 2114
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 hismissions. Only here could he find peace of mind.
Antoine nodded and wrote, ‘Then rest well. Don’t concern yourself with Miss Presgrave unless it’snecessary.’
As Antoine handed the phone over to him, his gaze turned slightly serious. He could see all of Jasper’straces 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 amessage. 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 pickedup her phone 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 toLeslie and continued to wait for another message.
‘Tomorrow, I have a club event. It’s a lot of fun. Would you like to come with me?’ Leslie extended theinvitation.
Willow thought for a moment, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation. She replied, ‘Sure, I’d like tojoin.’
‘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.novelbin
Feeling a bit thirsty, Willow got up and went downstairs to get some water. At this moment, she saw herelder 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 some experience.
Naturally, they didn’t notice her. Their discussion about work was rather boring to her. She couldn’tunderstand 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 herfather and elder brother were both business geniuses. It seemed like it was just her who hadn’tinherited the business genes.
Willow felt quite helpless about it. Just when she was getting bored and thinking of going upstairs withthe 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 came through. “Yes, I’ve talked to him. He said Jasper has basically recovered, but theWyatt Family doesn’t want any further contact with our family.”
Willow’s eyes widened suddenly. She was overcome with excitement, and she almost let out asurprised exclamation. However, she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making anynoise, because she wanted to eavesdrop on more of the conversation.
However, her heart was screaming with joy. He was still alive; she just knew it.
Tears of joy welled up in Willow’s eyes, though she was smiling. Her eyes sparkled like crescentmoons. 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 contactwith 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 forWillow, 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. Whenthat happens…”
