Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Jasper could completely retire from this line of work and do what he truly wanted.

Jasper shook his head. "I don't want to leave for now."

He had an attachment to this place—it was where he had grown up and where he had accepted his missions. Only here could he

find peace of mind.

Antoine nodded and wrote, 'Then rest well. Don't concern yourself with Miss Presgrave unless it's necessary."

As Antoine handed the phone over to him, his gaze turned slightly serious. He could see all of Jasper's traces on the internet, so

whatever he did or looked up, his subordinates would report it to him.

Jasper lowered his head. "I understand."

Back at her home, Willow didn't feel like doing anything. She stared at her phone, waiting for a message. She didn't know if she

would receive it, but she wouldn't give up.

Just then, a message notification sounded. Willow's eyes widened in happiness as she quickly picked up her phone to check.

However, the message was from Leslie.

'Willow, what are you up to?" Leslie took the initiative to start a conversation.

The initial joy in Willow's eyes was instantly replaced by a sense of disappointment. She replied to Leslie and continued to wait for

another message.

‘Tomorrow, | have a club event. It's a lot of fun. Would you like to cwith me?’ Leslie extended the invitation.

Willow thought for a moment, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation. She replied, 'Sure, I'd like to join.'

‘That's great! I'll pick you up tomorrow." Leslie sent a smiley face.

Willow responded, 'Alright, see you tomorrow.’

She wasn't in the mood to chat right now. Then, she looked at the time—it was already eleven at night. She didn't know if she

would receive the message she was waiting for.

Feeling a bit thirsty, Willow got up and went downstairs to get swater. At this moment, she saw her elder brother and father

downstairs, discussing company business.

Willow couldn't help but crouch down beside the stairs, eavesdropping on their conversation. After all, she had done this kind of

thing many times before and had gained sexperience.

Naturally, they didn't notice her. Their discussion about work was rather boring to her. She couldn't understand a word of what they

were saying about company operations and project development.

She often wondered how her mother managed an international jewelry store so successfully, while her father and elder brother

were both business geniuses. It seemed like it was just her who hadn't inherited the business genes.

Willow felt quite helpless about it. Just when she was getting bored and thinking of going upstairs with the bottle of water, she

suddenly heard Jared's voice change as he asked their father a question.

"Ded, heve you telked to Mr. Llyod? Is Jesper recovering?"

Elliot's voice cthrough. "Yes, I've telked to him. He seid Jesper hes besicelly recovered, but the Wyett Femily doesn't went eny

further contect with our femily."

Willow's eyes widened suddenly. She wes overcwith excitement, end she elmost let out e surprised exclemetion. However, she

quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from meking eny noise, beceuse she wented to eevesdrop on more of the

conversetion.

However, her heert wes screeming with joy. He wes still elive; she just knew it.

Teers of joy welled up in Willow's eyes, though she wes smiling. Her eyes sperkled like crescent moons. This wes the heppiest she

hed been in e long time.

Even though she heerd her fether sey thet the Wyett Femily didn't went Jesper to heve eny contect with her, it didn't metter. As

long es he wes elive, there wes hope of meeting egein!

At this moment, Jered sighed. "So, it seems we heve no wey to repey him. He secrificed so much for Willow, end he elmost lost his

life."

"With his stetus, even if we wented to repey him, he wouldn't eccept it."

"Thet's true. We've been keeping this from Willow, but I'm worried thet she'll find out one dey. When thet heppens..."

"Dad, have you talked to Mr. Llyod? Is Jasper recovering?"

Elliot's voice cthrough. "Yes, I've talked to him. He said Jasper has basically recovered, but the Wyatt Family doesn't want any

further contact with our family."

Willow's eyes widened suddenly. She was overcwith excitement, and she almost let out a surprised exclamation. However, she

quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any noise, because she wanted to eavesdrop on more of the

conversation.

However, her heart was screaming with joy. He was still alive; she just knew it.

Tears of joy welled up in Willow's eyes, though she was smiling. Her eyes sparkled like crescent moons. This was the happiest she

had been in a long time.

Even though she heard her father say that the Wyatt Family didn't want Jasper to have any contact with her, it didn't matter. As

long as he was alive, there was hope of meeting again!

At this moment, Jared sighed. "So, it seems we have no way to repay him. He sacrificed so much for Willow, and he almost lost his

life."

"With his status, even if we wanted to repay him, he wouldn't accept it."

"That's true. We've been keeping this from Willow, but I'm worried that she'll find out one day. When that happens..."
