The victim’s expression was frozen in the terror she felt before death. Her body was already cold.

The murder weapon, a wooden carving, was left at the scene.

It was still covered in fingerprints.

Verification confirmed they belonged to Will.

The police immediately issued a warrant for his arrest.

Anna hissed, “That guy… how could he kill someone…”

Tatiana’s gaze darkened. “He must have found out he was scammed.”

“What?”

She explained the situation with the girl. Anna was stunned. “This… this… he was scammed that badly. No wonder he lost it and killed someone.”

Tatiana bent her head to check the latest news. The person hadn’t been caught; he had run and was in hiding.

The internet was also buzzing with discussion about the incident, and it trended on the hot search.

Everyone was waiting for the killer to be captured.

Tatiana felt a jolt of alarm. “Anna, be careful when you go out recently. Don’t run around, and try to stick to crowded places.”

“You’re worried he’ll come after us? He probably wouldn’t…”

“Be on your guard.”

“You’re making my skin crawl. I’ll go stay at a friend’s house for a while!”

“Mm.”

Tatiana temporarily set the matter aside, just hoping the police would catch him soon.

After work, she went to her appointment. Today was the day to pick up Hubert.

Ann had been chattering nonstop about where to take Hubert to play; she just couldn’t wait.

They met at the restaurant. Her sharp eyes noticed that Jasper’s gaze seemed heavy.

And he seemed very busy.

Even during the meal, his phone rang several times, and he walked far outside to take the calls.

Hubert took the initiative to say, “Daddy seems to be in trouble. I haven’t seen Daddy work overtime in a long time. And Grandpa went abroad to recuperate.”

She was startled. Gordon went abroad?

No… “recuperate“?

That didn’t sound like recuperating. It sounded more like taking refuge.

She slowly frowned, her worry deepening.

When Jasper returned, she couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”

As she expected, he avoided the topic. “It’s nothing, just a few small problems. Let’s eat.”

When he didn’t want to talk about something, it was useless for anyone to ask.

The meal was not pleasant, overshadowed by a dark cloud.

Later, Chandler suddenly called her. His first words were:

“Tatiana, stay away from Jasper! He’s in danger right now!”

“What do you mean?”

“Donnie has been relentlessly targeting him. Projects under the Jackson Corp Group have had successive accidents, with fatalities! If you stay by his side, you’ll be targeted sooner or later!”

Donnie?

She searched her memory and finally recalled that he was Madam Lindsey’s nephew.

“The reason?”

“How should I know the reason? No, that’s not important. Tatiana, don’t go near him!”

“I understand.”

Chandler sounded agitated and his tone wasn’t good. “Tatiana! I’m not joking! Donnie’s methods aren’t clean! He’s captured several of Jasper’s confidants! It didn’t end well for any of

them!”

Before Tatiana could speak, she heard another voice from her side.

“He’s right.”

It was Jasper. He had followed her out.

She paused, then hurriedly said into the phone, “I’ll talk to you next time,” and hung up.

Jasper said in a low voice: “Tatiana, I’ve run into some trouble. I need to ask you for a favor.”

She had assumed it was a difficult matter and braced herself. “Go on.”

“Help me take care of Hubert.”

She hadn’t expected this, but she also realized he was, in a way, entrusting his son to her.

“Is the situation that serious?”

“What Chandler said is true. Donnie’s methods are too vicious. I don’t want anything to happen to you or the children.”

He had just made this decision.

And it was firm.

Half an hour ago, another one of his confidants had been killed.

He had underestimated Donnie’s methods.

“What do you plan to do?”

“I’ll send you and the children abroad, and hide your tracks. Until I can personally come and get you.”

She was silent.

She neither agreed nor refused.

Finally, she asked, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll take Hubert away too?”

He chuckled lowly. “You’ll take good care of him.”

Finally, she nodded. “Okay. When do we leave?”

“The sooner, the better.”
