“What exactly am I supposed to know?”
Jasper looked at Prince and said calmly.
Panting heavily, Prince was barely holding back the fright and fury within him.
He had that victory in his grasp, yet Jasper had managed to break out of his trap, leaving no trace behind.
It was ridiculous how Prince thought victory was his just a second ago.
The stark contrast between his perceived victory just moments ago versus the situation now infuriated Prince to no end.
“Stop f*cking acting!”
Prince did not care too much now, and he exploded.
“I don’t know how you managed to get that dog Vita to risk his life and stand on your side, but since he wants to die, then I’ll fulfill his wish!”
With that, Prince stared at Vita and sneered. “Vita Layne, you’ll never f*cking see those two for the rest of your life again! And just you wait, I’ll spread the news of what you did such that everyone will know of it!”
“You had this coming for yourself. Don’t blame me, blame yourself and Jasper.”
“I already brought them away last night.”
Jasper interrupted Prince casually. Tilting his head slightly, he looked at the man, who was clearly stunned by the news, with a crescent-eyed smile. “You could go check if you don’t believe me.”
Prince was shocked.
After what had just happened, Prince no longer felt confident in his own plan.
He quickly turned to stare at Soha’s vice president. Cold sweat began to bead all over the latter and he did not dare to waste time. Hence, he immediately called his subordinates.
A quick moment later, Soha’s vice president sat limply on the chair and looked at Prince sorrowfully.
After seeing Soha’s vice president’s reaction, Prince did not even need to ask to know that Jasper had indeed brought the people away.
At that moment, Prince truly felt lightheaded.
He stared at Jasper and clenched his teeth. Utterly furious, he smiled and said, “Wow, wow, wow. How capable of you, Jasper!”
“I’ll just ask you one thing. How did you find out?!”
Prince kept recalling the past few days but could find no loopholes throughout the entire execution of his entire plan.
Most importantly, every aspect of the plan was extremely covert so Jasper should not have had time to react at all.
Yet, the truth remained that Jasper had managed to learn of his plan, and even found an opportunity to turn the tables despite the tight timing!
His prideful *ss was the actually pitiful one who had been kept in the dark.
Prince flushed date-red when he thought of this. He was moments away from spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“You’re the one who said it just now, Your Highness. The most complex thing in society is still the human psyche,” Jasper said softly.
This ‘Your Highness’ cut through the room and slapped Prince across his face.
Prince felt exceptionally humiliated.
The comment about how the human psyche was the most complex thing made him feel extremely furious. He thought back to how prideful he had been when he said those words before. Comparing it with the current situation, Prince felt like he had been stripped naked and made a fool in front of everyone.
Fury.
Mortification.
Aggrievance.
Prince’s whole body trembled as his complex emotions ran amok.
