Jasper quickly called his uncle, Antoine, and reported the current situation to him. Upon hearing that the residents of an apartment complex were in danger, Antoine became serious. "Jasper, you have to try your best to save Sirius and ensure the safety of everyone inside that apartment complex."
"Yes, Uncle Antoine, I understand. I'll head over immediately." Jasper accepted the order.
When Jasper pushed the door open, Willow was doing the same, and they almost crashed into each other. Jasper held her shoulder and pulled her into his room before pinning her to the wall.
Meanwhile, Willow was shocked as she gazed at him with wide eyes.
"Willy, something happened to my teammate, and I need to leave for one hour. During this time, I need you to stay at home. Don't go outside, no matter what you hear or see, understand?" Jasper looked at her with a burning gaze.
Willow nodded obediently. "Okay, I understand." But at the same time, she was worried. "Will you be in danger?"
"Don't worry about me." Jasper's gaze landed on her face. He knew Calvin captured Sirius to lure him out from the Presgrave Residence. Therefore, he had no idea what Calvin might do next. However, he was sure that whatever the other was going to do, it was targeted at the Presgraves.
"You have to be careful. I promise I won't leave the villa," Willow promised while raising her hand as though she was taking an oath.
Jasper nodded and quickly pecked her forehead. "Wait for me to return."
Seeing Jasper about to leave, Willow felt her heart tightening up because all of his missions were accompanied by danger.
"You must come home. I'll be waiting for you," Willow told him.
With a heavy nod, Jasper promised, "I promise I'll come home safe and sound."
Though he said that, Willow was still unwilling to let him leave, so he opened his arms and embraced her. "Don't worry about me."
With no choice, Willow could only release him. But before leaving, Jasper went to see Jared, who promised not to let his sister out of his sight.
At the same time, he went to notify the security team at the villa and asked them to stand guard at their designated positions.
Once Jasper had everything arranged, he sped toward the city center. In the meantime, Calvin, who was making his way to the Presgrave Residence, immediately noticed Jasper's movements through Sirius' phone.
He sneered. "Oh, Jasper. You fell for it."
In the meantime, Jared came to Willow's room and asked, "Willy, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Jared. I'm just very worried about him."
"You should trust his abilities. He'll be fine."
Willow turned to look at Jared. "Jared, don't worry about me. I promise not to go anywhere, and I'll stay inside the house. You should go and be with Ellen."
"Okay, but remember not to go anywhere." Once Jared exhorted her, he left to return to his family.

With the security guards standing by all the crucial areas around the villa, there would be some kind of commotion if Calvin arrived. By then, he could also come forward and deal with that man.
Willow heard someone knocking on her door. When she turned around, she saw it was the servant who had cared for her for many years, Sasha Pickett.
"Miss Presgrave, have some milk." Sasha brought over a cup of milk.
Since Willow was feeling thirsty from being so worried, she smiled. "Thank you, Ms. Pickett."
Sasha bent over to help Willow clean up her things, but tears suddenly began to fall from her eyes. However, Willow was oblivious to that because she was drinking her milk, thinking about Jasper.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy and weak. When she realized what was happening, she looked at Sasha but heard the latter say, "Miss Presgrave, I'm sorry, but I can't let my two sons die. I would rather die for them."
Willow fell unconscious, but right before her consciousness faded, she heard herself call out Jasper's name.
Afterward, Sasha pushed a large trash can into the room. She knew there were no cameras inside Willow's room, so it was safe to place Willow in the trash can inside the room. It was a new one, of course, and she even placed a blanket inside so that Willow wouldn't feel too uncomfortable.
