Jasper’s bellow made Darrel pale in shock.
He was frozen in place, and he did not dare to look up at Jasper at all.
Jasper merely sighed when he saw Darrel’s reaction. “I know that the only reason Terence is brave enough to do something like this is that he has someone supporting him.
“In fact, he desperately wishes that you join him in dealing with me, correct?”
Darrel looked up in fear and replied, “How did you know that?”
Jasper replied calmly, “The only way no one can find out about something is if you don’t do anything.
“The only reason why I haven’t dealt with Terence yet is that he’s just a pawn the opponent is exploiting. My target is the mastermind behind this.”
Jasper then looked at Darrel intently. “The fact that you’ve come to me today means that you don’t dare to join them, so I’m hoping that you’ll tell me who this other person is.”
Darrel shook his head with a bitter smile. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I have no idea who that other person is either.
“I’ve never entertained the idea of working with them to harm you, so I didn’t pay Terence any attention no matter how he persuaded me. But I know how his temper is and I’m scared that he’ll get himself in trouble.
“I heard him on the phone last night with whom I think is the person supporting him. I heard Terence say that he was the one who set the fire.
“I spent the night thinking, and I don’t dare to hide it from you. That’s why I planned to look for you and take the blame for him. I just never thought… Sigh.”
Jasper tapped his fingers on the table slowly as he heard Darrel speak. After that, Jasper looked up at Julian, “Jul!”
“Yes!” Julian immediately replied.
