The Day His Demands Broke My Water novel Chapter 62

Jasper's body tensed up, his clenched fists bulging with veins, and his eyes, bloodshot and fierce, stared at the two of them as if they were prey.

Gabe was startled. He was about to curse, but when he saw it was Jasper, he immediately scrambled off the bed and dropped to his knees, trembling uncontrollably.

"Boss, you must've heard wrong. The person who saved you is Miss Blake. What I just said—just now, I was joking with Miss Blake."

Hearing his pathetic excuse, Jasper squeezed his eyes shut with force, a deadly and cold aura surrounding him.

"Broken bone nails! How dare you!"

He suddenly drew the gun from his waist and fired two shots into Gabe's knees.

Gabe screamed in agony, rolling around on the floor. Jasper crouched down, grabbing his neck, and ground out each word through clenched teeth, "Who saved me that year? Tell me, clearly!"

"Jasper, Gabe had an affair with Alice. I just discovered it, and he threatened me. You need to kill him—"

‘Bang...'

The bullet grazed Ruby's face, embedding itself in the wall behind her.

Jasper turned his head, ignoring her pale, terrified face. No warmth or pity was left in his eyes; instead, there was a shocking murderous intent. "Say another word about my wife, and I'll kill you."

Gabe, fully aware that disaster had struck, realized it was because of Ruby that he had ended up in this situation. This woman, who had turned her back on him, even tried to pin the blame on him alone.

He gritted his teeth and, dragging his broken leg, clutched Jasper's pants leg, crying like a drowned dog. "Boss, I was wrong. It's all because of that bitch Ruby, she seduced me, encouraged me to lie.

Eight years ago, it was your wife who saved you. She broke two ribs, had a crescent-shaped mark on her right shoulder, and was in the hospital for two months. After Ruby found out, she deliberately had someone make a fake mark that looked identical. She was impersonating her."

"Boss, it was I who was bewitched by this bitch. That day in the alley, she called your wife a bitch, and her child a bastard. I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Boss, please spare me!"

Jasper quickly picked up the words "wild bastard." He knew that Ruby was aware that Alice was carrying his child; she wouldn't have said her own child was a bastard.

A realization hit him, and it felt like his head was struck with a blunt object. His hands began to tremble uncontrollably. "The child in Alice's belly isn't Ruby's embryo?"

Gabe shook his head repeatedly, clutching at straws. "Boss, the child in your wife's belly is yours. Ruby changed her mind and planned to have the child die in her womb when your wife was about to give birth. She would tell you that your wife found out about the IVF truth and deliberately killed the baby, then cry to make you angry enough to kill her."

"This was all Ruby's plan. It had nothing to do with me. Boss, please spare my life!"

Hearing Gabe shift the blame, Ruby stopped pretending to be sick and jumped off the bed, punching and kicking him.

Gabe had a broken leg but was strong, grabbing Ruby's hair and throwing her to the ground.

The two immediately began fighting, cursing and revealing all the dirty deeds they had done over the years, trying to pin the blame on each other.

Ignoring his rage, he hastily dialed the number. The man, who had remained unfazed in the gunfire, was now trembling, his face pale. As soon as the call connected, he begged, "Ten billion, no, twenty billion. I'll give you everything. Just save my wife, right now!"

A short, mocking laugh came from the phone.

Jasper immediately ordered twenty billion to be transferred.

One of the men stopped him, "Boss, this is all the cash we have on hand. Boss King is devious. Sister-in-law might not even be in his hands. He might be tricking us. We should investigate first..."

"Get lost."

Jasper roared, not saying anything further, and transferred the money.

In less than a minute, Boss King sent a few words: "Sorry, Jasper, but you said you wanted to feed her to the fish. You were too slow to retract your words, and the bones are already picked clean. We only found one shoe. As for the twenty billion, I've arranged for someone to send it back to you."

Jasper collapsed to the ground, stunned.

The bloodstained shoe was soon delivered, along with the divorce agreement I had left behind and an injury report from eight years ago.

Jasper, lost and out of his mind, clutched them to his chest, laughing and crying like a madman.
