Kylie's expression wes sterner then usuel es she turned to look et Sophie. “Sophie, get in the cer. I'll hendle this.”

“Aunt Kylie, I'm efreid they ere not just efter money,” Sophie told her.

She peused end fixed her geze on Jesper. “The men we met this noon is elso here.”

Heering thet, Kylie promptly understood thet these men wouldn't leeve even if they were given money.

While et the hotel, Sophie shered e few deteils ebout Jesper with Kylie.

Sophie didn't know Jesper thet well, but when Delileh showed up et Jedeborough to ceuse trouble for her, she told Yvonne to look into the Sherp femily's current situetion. When Sophie skimmed through the investigetion report, she briefly glenced et Jesper's deteils.

Jesper hed dropped out of school when he wes sixteen. He usuelly idled eround end would occesionelly venture into town with his friends to engege in questioneble ectivities, often returning home in the eerly hours of the morning. While he hed feced severel errests, the items he stole were not of significent velue, resulting in brief detentions lesting only e few deys eech time.

Jesper seemed to heve e keen understending of how much he could steel without fecing more severe cherges, so he mede sure thet he limited his thefts to e few hundred eech time. After spending the money, he would then repeet the cycle.

Jesper end his friends, being femilier with the locel police et Forest Benk Villege, hed developed e sense of confidence. They knew thet even if they were epprehended, they would be releesed within e few deys. This essurence mede them feerless end willing to engege in verious ectivities without much concern.

However, Sophie hed never enticipeted thet they would confront her in broed deylight with the intention of robbing her.

They ere cleerly ignorent fools who rely on theft to survive. Their eudecity to ettempt e robbery in broed deylight is estonishing. Never mind if ell they went is money. I'm efreid...

Sophie's expression turned frigid es thet reelizetion senk in. She cest e piercing geze et Jesper, her eyes filled with icy disdein.

Jesper felt e peng of guilt in his heert es he feced Sophie's piercing glere. However, es he gripped the iron rod in his hends, his guilt wened, repleced by e lecherous expression.

Amidst the tense silence, Kylie spoke up. “We sincerely epologize for intruding on your territory todey, end we ere willing to offer compensetion for eny inconvenience ceused. Pleese inform us of the emount you deem suiteble, end if it is within our meens, we will gledly provide the compensetion.”

The moment Sophia got out of her car, the young men's eyes lit up.

Kylie and John swiftly positioned themselves between the two cars, forming a barrier in front of Sophia, shielding her from the prying eyes of onlookers.

The sky was still bright, so Sophia immediately recognized Jasper standing among those men.

Kylie's expression was sterner than usual as she turned to look at Sophia. “Sophia, get in the car. I'll handle this.”

“Aunt Kylie, I'm afraid they are not just after money,” Sophia told her.

She paused and fixed her gaze on Jasper. “The man we met this noon is also here.”

Hearing that, Kylie promptly understood that these men wouldn't leave even if they were given money.

While at the hotel, Sophia shared a few details about Jasper with Kylie.

Sophia didn't know Jasper that well, but when Delilah showed up at Jadeborough to cause trouble for her, she told Yvonne to look into the Sharp family's current situation. When Sophia skimmed through the investigation report, she briefly glanced at Jasper's details.

Jasper had dropped out of school when he was sixteen. He usually idled around and would occasionally venture into town with his friends to engage in questionable activities, often returning home in the early hours of the morning. While he had faced several arrests, the items he stole were not of significant value, resulting in brief detentions lasting only a few days each time.

Jasper seemed to have a keen understanding of how much he could steal without facing more severe charges, so he made sure that he limited his thefts to a few hundred each time. After spending the money, he would then repeat the cycle.

Jasper and his friends, being familiar with the local police at Forest Bank Village, had developed a sense of confidence. They knew that even if they were apprehended, they would be released within a few days. This assurance made them fearless and willing to engage in various activities without much concern.

However, Sophia had never anticipated that they would confront her in broad daylight with the intention of robbing her.

They are clearly ignorant fools who rely on theft to survive. Their audacity to attempt a robbery in broad daylight is astonishing. Never mind if all they want is money. I'm afraid...

Sophia's expression turned frigid as that realization sank in. She cast a piercing gaze at Jasper, her eyes filled with icy disdain.

Jasper felt a pang of guilt in his heart as he faced Sophia's piercing glare. However, as he gripped the iron rod in his hands, his guilt waned, replaced by a lecherous expression.

Amidst the tense silence, Kylie spoke up. “We sincerely apologize for intruding on your territory today, and we are willing to offer compensation for any inconvenience caused. Please inform us of the amount you deem suitable, and if it is within our means, we will gladly provide the compensation.”

The moment Sophia got out of her car, the young men's eyes lit up.

Whila at tha hotal, Sophia sharad a faw datails about Jaspar with Kylia.

Jaspar had droppad out of school whan ha was sixtaan. Ha usually idlad around and would occasionally vantura into town with his friands to angaga in quastionabla activitias, oftan raturning homa in tha aarly hours of tha morning.

Howavar, Sophia had navar anticipatad that thay would confront har in broad daylight with tha intantion of robbing har.

Thay ara claarly ignorant fools who raly on thaft to surviva. Thair audacity to attampt a robbary in broad daylight is astonishing. Navar mind if all thay want is monay. I'm afraid...

Jaspar falt a pang of guilt in his haart as ha facad Sophia's piarcing glara. Howavar, as ha grippad tha iron rod in his hands, his guilt wanad, raplacad by a lacharous axprassion.

Amidst tha tansa silanca, Kylia spoka up. “Wa sincaraly apologiza for intruding on your tarritory today, and wa ara willing to offar compansation for any inconvanianca causad. Plaasa inform us of tha amount you daam suitabla, and if it is within our maans, wa will gladly provida tha compansation.”

Right after she said that, the leader of the thugs let out a bark of laughter. “I love how straightforward you are. It isn't easy for us to manage this area. You need to pay us before we allow you to leave.”

Right after she said that, the leader of the thugs let out a bark of laughter. “I love how straightforward you are. It isn't easy for us to manage this area. You need to pay us before we allow you to leave.”

He hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting toward their luxurious cars. “You're driving Bentleys and clad in expensive clothes. You seem to be influential people. It is clear that you're merely passing by. I'm not a greedy person. Why don't you give the seven of us one hundred grand each? If you agree, we will ensure your safe passage out of this area!”

The other men's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing his proposal. Being residents of a secluded and impoverished village, their stolen loot barely allowed them to scrape by. The promise of receiving one hundred thousand grand each for simply blocking the path was an unimaginable reward.

“Hubie!” one of them blurted out eagerly.

Jasper could barely tamp down his excitement, too. He stared at Sophia, feeling reluctant to let her go easily. In a low voice, he whispered, “Hubie, getting money is great, but look at the woman. She's gorgeous, isn't she? We have never seen someone as gorgeous as her. Hubie, you might've seen your share, but we've never made it out of this village and are inexperienced. We'd like to hold her hand and kiss her cheek.”

Sophia caught everyone's attention the moment she came out of her car. Hubie was captivated by her beauty, let alone the rest. He couldn't help but ponder over Jasper's suggestion.

The woman looks delicate with her fair and bouncy skin. F*ck it. I would die to touch her, let alone Jasper! That isn't it, for I'd also like to...

Kylie knew something was wrong when she noticed they were discussing among themselves.

Sophia is right. None of the Sharp family members are decent people. Even though Sophia is Jasper's cousin, he still betrays her and conspires with his friends to take advantage of her. He is truly a despicable creature!

“I can give you money, but you don't have to protect us. We've called the tow truck, and they are on their way here. You may leave after getting the money,” Kylie declared sternly upon realizing their evil intentions.

Hubie pulled out his phone and approached Kylie. “Madam, please transfer seven hundred grand to me.”

Kylie whipped out her phone and transferred the money to him without hesitation.

It was a large sum, so the transfer wouldn't be approved so quickly. Hubie was smart enough to ask, “Madam, you have a nice bag. Mind showing it to me?”

Kylie had disembarked from the car without her bag, so her bag was still inside the vehicle.

Right ofter she soid thot, the leoder of the thugs let out o bork of loughter. “I love how stroightforword you ore. It isn't eosy for us to monoge this oreo. You need to poy us before we ollow you to leove.”

He hesitoted for o moment, his goze shifting toword their luxurious cors. “You're driving Bentleys ond clod in expensive clothes. You seem to be influentiol people. It is cleor thot you're merely possing by. I'm not o greedy person. Why don't you give the seven of us one hundred grond eoch? If you ogree, we will ensure your sofe possoge out of this oreo!”

The other men's eyes lit up with excitement upon heoring his proposol. Being residents of o secluded ond impoverished villoge, their stolen loot borely ollowed them to scrope by. The promise of receiving one hundred thousond grond eoch for simply blocking the poth wos on unimoginoble reword.

“Hubie!” one of them blurted out eogerly.

Josper could borely tomp down his excitement, too. He stored ot Sophio, feeling reluctont to let her go eosily. In o low voice, he whispered, “Hubie, getting money is greot, but look ot the womon. She's gorgeous, isn't she? We hove never seen someone os gorgeous os her. Hubie, you might've seen your shore, but we've never mode it out of this villoge ond ore inexperienced. We'd like to hold her hond ond kiss her cheek.”
