Although Lord Alvarado and the others did not say this outright, Jasper knew exactly what they were thinking. After all, since ancient times, no aristocratic family did not want their family to develop into a huge consortium like the Rothschilds and the Morgans in the future.
Everyone had ambitions, let alone the little prince, Lord Alvarado, and their families.
Wendy thought for a moment, then asked, “Isn’t there any other way to change the outcome you’re talking about?”
Jasper shook his head. “There is almost no way unless they can realize this and stop their actions just in time. At the same time, you need extreme courage to protect your family.”
Having said this, Jasper took another deep breath. “But it’s possible I am having groundless fears. A family like them must have expected certain things to happen and must have already thought of countermeasures.”
After hearing this, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against his chest again. She said, “Anyway, we haven’t reached that stage yet. We have more important things to do, so we don’t have to worry so early.
“Go to sleep, I have to go back to Nauritius City tomorrow morning. My dad called me today to talk about his marriage to Aunty May. “He still hopes we can go to his wedding.”
Wendy felt very helpless and tired when it came to Dawson getting married.
The two fell asleep holding each other.

The following day, Wendy packed her luggage early in the morning, and Jasper drove her to the airport.
When parting, Jasper pulled Wendy in his arms, kissed her on the face, and said, “You have to take care of yourself when you go back. You don’t have to worry about things in Harbor City. I believe Sean will take care of it. I’ll take time to visit you in a few days after I’m done.”
