The truth began to surface as Vita recounted the details of the incident.
The truth would always come out in the end.
Vita thought that he had been stealthy enough, yet Prince’s ministrations had easily detected his little secret. It was like a fly over white snow.
Jasper was relieved to hear Vita’s words.
He was grateful for Gerry’s information before this. Even now Jasper could not be completely certain that Vita would never betray him. This was not a risk Jasper could afford to take.
He could not risk the entire future of online payment and even the whole business of Abbylon’s online shopping platform on Vita’s conscience.
Even if Vita showed no signs of betraying him up until now.
“I don’t have any other choice, Jasper. I never expected Prince to find out and hold this over my head.”
Vita said, pulling at his hair painfully.
“I’ve never planned to do anything against you or your interests!”
“I already rejected his men when they told me what they wanted me to do just now. But they want me to give a final reply tomorrow.”
“I don’t know what to do. I’m well aware that once I listen to them, I’ll become their puppet completely and they’ll never let me go!”
Jasper got up and patted Vita’s shoulder. “It’s actually not as severe as you think.”
Vita looked up at Jasper with a sliver of hope and asked, “You’re willing to help me?”
“Helping you is helping myself too,” Jasper replied.
After some thought, Jasper said, “Can you still contact your ex-girlfriend’s brother’s family?”
Vita nodded. “I can!”
