The video call ended.
Jasper stood up suddenly, looked at Julian without a single expression on his face, and said, “Do you remember the address?”
Julian nodded and said, “Yes I do.”
“Bring more men with you.”
Dawson said suddenly.
Julian shook his head and said, “No, too many people can startle the enemy away. I have the confidence to subdue them all immediately.”
When Jasper saw Julian’s fiery gaze and how he stared at him as if seeking his permission, Jasper spent a few seconds mulling it over.
He believed and understood that Julian was trying to make up for his mistake, but this involved Wendy’s safety.
Jasper had let his guard down once, so he must not attempt this a second time while putting Wendy’s life at stake.
“Uncle Dawson, send a few of your men. They will stay outside to offer defense. Julian and I will go upstairs,” Jasper said.
Dawson nodded and said, “That will be the best option.”
“You can go straight away. I will send out the orders and they’ll follow behind you. They will know what to do.”
As Dawson said those words, he patted Jasper’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Take care of yourself. I’ll wait for your victorious return.”
Jasper nodded, pursed his lips, and took Julian out of the study with a blank expression.
Jasper did not say a word because he was suppressing his emotions.
He was afraid that his emotions that were on the brink of exploding could burst out completely if he said too much.
