“Jasper, I admit that I hate you to your bones and I want you to die, but you have to believe that Fabian was really the person who ordered me to do this. He even taught me how to mess with the brakes. How else would I know how to do something like that?”
As if terrified that Jasper would not believe him, Calvin explained sincerely.
Jasper replied calmly, “I knew that you’re telling me the truth when you said it was Fabian.”
Calvin exhaled in relief. He did plan to hide the truth or lie to Jasper, but he gave it some thought and realized that there was no way Fabian would be willing to save him right now.
Since that was the case, then he might as well tell Jasper everything in return for his safety.
At least he would be sent to prison safely now.
Having been in prison once, Calvin did not mind returning. However, he did care about whether he was carried in or if he would be able to walk in himself.
“Jul, report him to the police and let them deal with him.”
Calvin was about to cry from joy when he heard Jasper.
After Julian brought Calvin away, Jasper sat in the office chair with a solemn look on his face.
Fallon observed the situation and left the office as well, having remained silent the entire time.
She knew that she was no longer needed here.
Wendy stayed.
She walked over to Jasper and squatted down to put her face over the back of his hand as she said, “Don’t be angry anymore. I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
Jasper chuckled, the gloomy cloud over him disappearing, and he pulled Wendy up. Ignoring her gasp and embarrassment, he pulled her down to sit on his lap.
“I’m just afraid of what might have happened.”
Jasper hugged Wendy and said, “What if Fallon didn’t find out about this? What if something happened to you? I could rip my enemies to shreds and that still wouldn’t bring you back to me.”
