NovelOnline“What's going on?” asked Willow curiously. Turning to face her, Jasper looked at her and replied, “Willow, don’t return to the hotel
and go. hto your parents. You've been targeted by a bad guy.” Dumbfounded, she blinked her eyes, asking, “Who's targeting
me?”
“The explosion at the mall was staged to cause chaos so they could kidnap you. Those kidnappers are hired by a rich businessman
who has taken a fancy to you, so it’s no longer safe for you to stay at the hotel.” He warned her, hoping she would protect herself.
Gulping, Willow did not expect she would get involved in such an unwarranted situation. “So, you rushed here to save me?” she
asked. Jasper nodded. “I found the tto chere, but | still have to complete my mission and can’t protect you.”
Feeling a warm feeling enveloping her, she said, “You're protectingnow!” “This is the only t| will. | don’t have the tand
effort to protect an outsider.” His gaze turned cold.
His words were like a bucket of cold water poured onto Willow's warm heart. She pursed her lips. “I'm sorry that | caused you so
much trouble.” When he started the car, she asked, “Are you going to sendhome?”
Jasper remained quiet, but the car headed for the city center and finally arrived at the entrance of Presgrave Group. Then, he
ordered, “Get out.”

don’t want to take up your time.”
Once she finished, she got out of the car but took a wrong step and tripped. While sitting on the step, she looked at a particular
someone. However, she did not notice that when she fell, the man had instinctively reached out his hand to help her but was too
far away, so he could only watch as she plunged to the floor.
“You should leave! Goodbye, Jasper.” Willow was somewhat furious and added, “No, let's not meet each other ever again.”
Listening to her childish retort, he snorted. “Stay with your parents, and don’t wander around then.” With that, the man sped away
and soon disappeared into the crowd of cars.
It was then that Willow's eyes reddened as she felt wronged. Although he had saved her, he did it unwillingly! Taking out her
phone, she saw Mae, her bodyguards, and her parents had called her dozens of times, so she phoned her father first. “Willy, where
are you? Are you hurt?”
“Dad, I'm fine. I'm currently in our company’s lobby! I'm about to head upstairs to look for Jared.” “That's great.” Elliot felt
relieved. He had just received a call from Malcolm, the bodyguard, mentioning the incident at the shopping mall and that he had
lost Willow in the crowd.
“I need to call my friend. Let's talk later, Dad.” After she said that, she hung up and called Mae, who soon answered her call. Mae
was still looking for Willow outside the mall!
“Mae, you should return to the hotel first! I'm currently with Jared. Let's keep in touch.” “Sure! Take care of yourself.” After their
phone call ended, Willow limped up the stairs and headed toward the lobby.
Meanwhile, Elliot had already taken the elevator downstairs to get her. When he saw she had injured her leg, he felt heartbroken
and supported her. “How did you get into this. state?”
“It's a long story.” She smiled helplessly. The pain in her leg was fine, but the stuffiness in her heart would not disappear anytime
soon. Back at the hotel.
Jasper turned on his laptop to see if Bucky's men had returned and eventually discovered they had. Inside the video, the two men
seemed frustrated, undoubtedly because they had failed their mission and could not deliver what was asked of them. However, he
let out a slight sigh. If he had not discovered Willow was followed, she might have already been kidnapped by then.
