Jasper felt helpless and embarrassed at Ryan's retort. He said, "Mr. Campbell, I don't mean that. I just—"
"Mrs. Campbell will take good care of her. Candice is drunk, so why put her through the hassle of moving around? Go, go, go. Go back home and sleep."
Jasper said, "Candice is engaged now. It's inappropriate for her to stay overnight at your house."
Ryan was well aware of her engagement.
The sudden news had caught them off guard, which was why they had Ryan return quickly. Otherwise, his daughter-in-law would be taken away.
"Being engaged doesn't mean she has no freedom."
"That's not what I meant, I—"
Before Jasper could finish speaking, Ryan interrupted, "Just go home. Good night."
With that, the door was shut.
Feeling disappointed, Jasper left. As he walked, he pulled out his phone to call Elio.
As the phone rang, he thought to himself, "Uncle Elio, I've done my part."
Elio's groggy voice came from the phone. "It's late, what's going on?"
"Mervyn is back," Jasper said.
On the other end, Elio fell silent.
Jasper continued, "Candice welcomed him and had a few drinks. She got drunk. I tried to pick her up, but the Campbells wouldn't let her go. She's staying at their house tonight."
Elio was very shocked. He sat up abruptly and demanded coldly, "Send me the location."
Jasper replied, "I'm just letting you know so you guys won't have any misunderstandings. Candice is safe at their house because she's stayed there many times before. Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's late—"
Elio shouted angrily, "Address!"
Jasper was so shocked that he nearly dropped his phone. He had never seen Elio so out of control and irrational. To him, Elio was always calm, composed, and mature.
Now, he seemed like an impulsive teenager.

Chapter 1079 and 1080 missing...
There's no 1079 and 1080 :(...
I lost the interest to continue the novel.Too many characters....
So we are shifting to a different story now? Was this not Nathan and Wanda's story? So this story will continue as Sierra and Daniel's right?...
Oh God I'd die broken-heart if Sienna and Daniel doesn't end up together happily ever after!!...
More chapters please...
This is bullshit. Why cant she just be honest. Saying bunch of things to hurt him thinking it wont hurt him in future. How much more dumb can she be. She is really hanging my patience level by thread....
Why cant she just say it. Why is it so hard to say??...
Hello, more chapters please. Thank you...
