Jasper frowned slightly when he saw the father-daughter duo.
Norman and Lisa had not expected to see Jasper here either. Already afraid, the two of them were terrified now.
Dominique continued to swirl the glass of wine in his hands and said lazily, “Norman’s father used to be my grandfather’s driver. So, I suppose there is some semblance of a relationship between us.”
“But. A favor my grandfather owes has nothing to do with me. And I don’t see why a grandson must repay his grandfather’s debts.”
Dominique then turned to smile at Jasper as he said, “Don’t you think so, Jasper?”
Jasper did not react at all.
Norman and Lisa were stricken when they heard the little prince.
To them, the Royal family was supposed to be a definite source of protection. No matter how powerful Jasper was, there was no way he could do anything if the Royal family wished to protect them.
Yet, after they had just found shelter in the Royal family, the little prince decided to change his tune and send them straight into Jasper’s jaws. ‘What is the meaning of this?!’
“Little prince! This, this, this isn’t what we agreed upon!” Norman stuttered, his tone confused and pleading.
Dominique chuckled and swirled the glass of red wine, admiring the fine red liquid that had fermented for the past sixty years. It seemed like the glass of red wine was more important than Norman to him.
“This was supposed to be an easy job, but I changed my mind after I found out that it’s Jasper you wish to trouble.”
“What more important is that I’ve already asked Jasper about this, and he doesn’t seem to have any desire to give up. Thus, I suppose I’ll have to sacrifice you two instead.”
Norman was confused when he heard Dominique’s statement. Even Jasper was shocked.
He was even fully prepared to go against the Royal family before he arrived.
‘But from the way Dominique acted, it seems like he’s unwilling to become my enemy simply because of Norman.’
Jasper narrowed his eyes and quickly ran through everything that had happened during his brief interaction with Dominique. However, there were too few leads, and he could not deduce what was going on in Dominique’s mind at all.
