“Yes, Miss Presgrave.” Ricky nodded. “If anyone dares to betray me again, their fate will be the same as Morgan’s. I called you here to assist me, and I won’t treat you unfairly, but I won’t tolerate any traitors or disloyal individuals.” Willow’s sharp gaze swept over all the team members.
The team members usually found Willow easy to get along with, but now, they knew she was not to be trifled with after seeing her expression.
Soon, Morgan was escorted onto a speedboat, with his hands and feet bound, and sent to a nearby country. Although they had caught Morgan, Willow’s mood was still affected. She found it difficult to calm her emotions and walked alone toward a nearby path.
A figure silently followed her and he did not take his eyes off her. Willow stood in a spot as she looked at the distant scenery. She knew Jasper was following her, so she sighed and turned to look at him. I’m really worried.
Jasper couldn’t comfort her for now, as no one could guarantee the artifacts’ final destination until they found them. He reassured her, “You know I’ll do everything in my power to help you wherever you need it, right?” She nodded and felt much more at ease with him by her side.
“Thank you for helping me unconditionally. Without you, we wouldn’t have been so successful.” Willow expressed her gratitude. Jasper’s gaze softened as he looked at her and said, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m willing to help you.”
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked with a smile, “How can I repay you when I go back?” His gaze locked onto her for a few seconds before he shook his head. “I don’t need your repayment.”
Willow became anxious. “No. I must repay you.” Whatever he asked for, she would repay him. Jasper’s heart was filled with complexity and bitterness when he was faced with the sincerity in Willow’s eyes. She was like a pure untouchable lily, and his identity was tainted with too much blood. He was not worthy of standing by her side..
