Chapter 601 The Falling Sword

Tatiana stared at it for a few moments, then lowered her head, letting out a quiet laugh.

“Grandpa, guess who sent this to you?”

Gordon was about to say that he had no earthly idea, but the words caught in his throat. He froze. In a sudden flash of clarity, understanding washed over him.

He looked at Tatiana, opening his mouth to speak before swallowing his words back down.

Tatiana stepped forward, her voice dropping to a low murmur. “You should accept it.”

“That stubborn brat…” Gordon muttered.

There was absolutely no doubt that the gift was from Jasper.

Yet at this stage, even Tatiana was finding it difficult to understand what Jasper was trying to accomplish. He was actively locked away, yet he had somehow managed to send this gift completely undetected. Furthermore, with every single asset belonging to the Jackson family seized and frozen, how had he even obtained the statue?

Everything happening before her eyes felt as though it were shrouded in a thick mist, impossible to see clearly.

Gordon opened his mouth, but no words came out. Jasper’s intentions were a complete mystery to him, too. Ultimately, he could only offer a dry, hollow reassurance. “Things will get better.”

Tatiana suppressed the chaotic tangle of her thoughts and forced a small smile. “Yes, they will.”

They brought the statue inside, carefully storing it along with the other gifts in Gordon’s bedroom.

The days passed in absolute tranquility, yet a persistent sense of an impending storm lingered in her mind. The dread remained buried deep in her chest, hanging over her like a suspended sword.

And finally, that sword fell.

The final verdict on the Jackson family case was officially handed down.

Their entire fortune was confiscated without exception, and even their century-old ancestral estate was put up for public auction. The undisputed titans of yesterday were reduced to inmates overnight.

Harpie faced the heaviest charges for drug possession and trafficking, receiving a sentence of life imprisonment.

Jasper, on the other hand, was finally released after a grueling ten-day detention.

However, he walked out entirely alone. He was no longer the high-and-mighty golden boy of the Jackson family. He was completely destitute, stripped of everything to his name.

On the day of his release, Tatiana drove down to meet him personally. But she stood outside the gates for an eternity without ever catching a glimpse of his familiar figure.

Slowly her heart grew cold.

Her grip tightened around the steering wheel, her knuckles turning white, until she finally shifted the year

and drove away.

This is my final overture.

There spont be another.

Remember that. Jasper.

Only after the white Cayenne had completely disappeared down the street did the black car parked i

cluded corner finally start its engine and pull out.

Foster, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror and spoke with an uncertain edge to his voice. you sure you want to do this?”

Alone figure sat in the back seat, his silhouette entirely swallowed by the shadows. His expression remained obscured, his head tilted slightly as his gaze lingered on the path the departing car had taken

“He hasn’t let me off the hook yet. Becoming associated with me right now brings nothing but danger

Foster shook his head in clear disapproval. “She has gone to incredible lengths for you.”

Jasper remained silent.

“I need to remind you of something.” Foster added. “Fool me once, shame on you. There won’t be a third

time

“Let’s go!

Third time? He was fully aware of the consequences. But compared to the reality of her never forgiving him, he found the prospect of her being in danger completely unacceptable. He understood exactly hard she had fought to secure everything she currently possessed, and he refused to allow her to become a

Back at the house, Gordon and the two children had been waiting all morning, their eyes wide with anticipation as they constantly checked the front door.

Finally, the lock clicked, and the door swung open. Tatiana walked into the foyer alone.

“Mommy!”

Hubert and Ann called out in unison, their eyes instinctively darting to the empty space behind her. But there was no one else there.

Gordon noted the absence immediately, yet he forced a cheerful note into his voice to case the tension. Is be going somewhere to clean up and change first? That makes sense. Being locked away for so many days must have been awful. He probably needs a proper shower to wash away the bad luck before coming over

Tatiana’s voice was entirely flat. “He isn’t coming.”

“What do you mean?”

“He isn’t coming back, so stop waiting. Let’s have lunch.”

Finished

She walked into the dining room with complete composure, instructing the nanny to bring out the dishes.
