Their elation fell from the heights of heaven to the pits of hell the minute they saw Jasper… They did not know what to do.
They really did not know what to do.
In their imagination, Jasper had been lying in a pool of blood, ready to either hurl curses or get on his knees and beg when he saw them.
No matter what, he should not be sitting on the couch in one piece and sipping on red wine, looking as if he was awaiting their arrival?!
Who was the mastermind in their elaborately planned scheme?
Steve began sweating profusely as he panicked.
Mark’s lips trembled as the sparkle left his eyes.
Instinctively, the two looked at Julian together.
Julian had a calm expression on his face as he walked toward the couch Jasper was sitting on. He stood at attention.
An answer that Mark was reluctant to accept surfaced in his mind as he looked at Julian, who stared back with an indifferent expression.
They had been betrayed by Julian!
“Julian Lager, you dare betray me!?” Steve stared at Julian in shock and roared in anger after understanding what was going on.
Julian did not answer, acting as if he had not heard anything.
Mark was so angry that he turned and slapped Steve. Gritting his teeth, he said, “This is the reliable person you found!? A f*cking backstabber!?”
Steve was shocked by Mark’s slap.
He turned his head to the other side, afraid to meet Mark’s furious expression. His entire being had been consumed by feelings of fear and trepidation.
When he heard Jasper, Mark took a deep breath and shuddered as he said, “Jasper… No, Brother Laine, this is all that idiot Steve Quare’s fault. He’s the one who coerced me into this. I never wanted to seek revenge against you. He was also the one who got in contact with Julian!
Mark had not imagined this would happen. His father had wanted him to apologize, and indeed he had come over to apologize earlier.
