“I’m sorry. They forced and threatened me. I had no choice.” Morgan immediately pleaded.
However, a cold snort resounded. “You were clearly bought off by their interests.”
“I wasn’t… I swear,” Morgan retorted.
Jasper handed his phone to Willow and said, “These are the complete chat records between him and Jett. Such a person doesn’t deserve to stay on your team.”
She took his phone and read the chat records, turning angry the next second. “Morgan, you told Jett all our clues. Do you know what that means? It means our country’s artifacts will be sold to outsiders! You have betrayed the nation!”
“Morgan, get the hell away from us. You can look forward to going to jail!” Winston was also enraged.
Morgan sat on the ground in fear, finally tasting the consequences of his mistake. His future would be a lifetime in prison.
“Ricky, send someone to take him back. I’ll have my family’s lawyer come over. I’ll never forgive those who betray me.” Willow exuded a commanding presence. Despite her young age, she held her dignity with pride.
“Yes, Miss Presgrave.” Ricky nodded. “If anyone dares to betray me again, their fate will be the same as Morgan’s. I called you here to assist me, and I won’t treat you unfairly, but I won’t tolerate any traitors or disloyal individuals.” Willow’s sharp gaze swept over all the team members.
The team members usually found Willow easy to get along with, but now, they knew she was not to be trifled with after seeing her expression.
Soon, Morgan was escorted onto a speedboat, with his hands and feet bound, and sent to a nearby country. Although they had caught Morgan, Willow’s mood was still affected. She found it difficult to calm her emotions and walked alone toward a nearby path.
A figure silently followed her and he did not take his eyes off her. Willow stood in a spot as she looked at the distant scenery. She knew Jasper was following her, so she sighed and turned to look at him. I’m really worried.
Jasper couldn’t comfort her for now, as no one could guarantee the artifacts’ final destination until they found them. He reassured her, “You know I’ll do everything in my power to help you wherever you need it, right?” She nodded and felt much more at ease with him by her side.
“Thank you for helping me unconditionally. Without you, we wouldn’t have been so successful.” Willow expressed her gratitude. Jasper’s gaze softened as he looked at her and said, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m willing to help you.”
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked with a smile, “How can I repay you when I go back?” His gaze locked onto her for a few seconds before he shook his head. “I don’t need your repayment.”
Willow became anxious. “No. I must repay you.” Whatever he asked for, she would repay him. Jasper’s heart was filled with complexity and bitterness when he was faced with the sincerity in Willow’s eyes.
She was like a pure untouchable lily, and his identity was tainted with too much blood. He was not worthy of standing by her side..
His participation in this mission was merely wishful thinking since he was not seeking any rewards or repayment. “Let’s talk about this after we complete this mission. Now is not the time to discuss this,” he commented as he turned around to leave.
Willow became even more anxious behind him. “Why can’t we talk about it now?” As she spoke, she walked quickly toward him, but in her hurry and the uneven rocky terrain, she tripped.
“Ah!” she exclaimed, and her two fair and tender knees hit the ground, causing them to bleed. Jasper turned around and rushed to her side before lifting her into his arms. He looked at her two scraped knees, and his heart clenched with pain. Then, he scooped her into his arms.
Willow clung to his neck and looked at him with a pitiful expression. “You left before I finished speaking.” At that point, Jasper blamed himself. He shouldn’t have left like that. “Be more careful next time,” he advised in a low and gentle voice.
Willow gazed at him, and deep down, she made. a decision. Regardless of whether he wanted her to repay him or not, she would do it. It was her unilateral declaration.
Upon reaching the medical room, Johannal applied disinfectant to Willow’s wounds and bandaged them. At the moment, Winston was studying the artifacts unearthed from the archaeological excavation. In addition to the ancient map, they had also found some useful information-a few notes hidden on a piece of bamboo slips.
This was valuable information not available to Jett. Winston was being especially careful this time and didn’t share this matter in the group chat. Instead, he came to discuss it with Willow.
“Willow, see if you can find any clues. The notes say they lost their ship on this island, so they all stayed until the last generation.”
“If they lost their ship, the artifacts must still be on this island then. It would be passed down from generation to generation and guarded.”
“This island covers an area of 18,000 square kilometers, and we can’t do a carpet search as it would be highly resource-intensive.” “It seems that the clues are still among these artifacts.” Willow sighed.
“Jett has now brought in many experts from the archaeological field. If they find the artifacts before us, they will definitely act first.” “Winston, we’ll have to work hard and find the evidence as soon as possible!”
“I’m worried that the people here might still leak secrets. I’m afraid now,” Winston said. At that, Jasper spoke up. “Don’t worry. I have control over the network here, and they can’t transmit information to the outside.”
Winston’s eyes filled with admiration after he heard this. “That’s great! Mr. Wyatt, you’re really amazing.” “Send me all the evidence you’ve collected. If I have the time, I’ll study it together with you,” Jasper said.
“Okay. I’ll send it to you right now. On second thought, I’ll bring the originals over to you,” Winston commented before leaving. Tonight, Willow stayed in the room on the boat. Her legs were injured, and her bodyguards were nervously guarding the boat to make sure she rested and recovered.
Willow was lying on the bed and carefully looking at the originals that were sent over. They were all clear images of the artifacts and they were spread out on her bed. She looked like a studious student as she examined each one carefully.
Jasper saw her lying on the bed even before pushing the door open. To save time, she tied her long hair into two braids in front of her chest, giving her a cute and youthful appearance. “Jasper, come over and study this with me, hmm?” Willow called him over.
He bent down and saw her arranging the numbered documents. However, he found it difficult to focus on those boring images. Under the lamplight, her attractive face, fair and delicate skin, balanced features, and spirited eyes made it impossible to look away.
As he looked on, he closed his eyes as if he needed to make a great effort to divert his thoughts from her. Willow rubbed her eyes and yawned. She was actually very tired but still focused on studying. the artifacts. She looked at a simple painting, which was also a copy taken from a mural. It was a painting drawn in despair on the mural.
“Would you like to rest for a while?” Jasper tenderly asked. “I can’t sleep. Whenever I think of Jett being here, I feel like there’s a whip lashing at my back, forcing me to work hard.” Willow described her current feelings. He looked at her with distress. At that moment, a gust of wind blew in from outside, causing all the A4 papers in the room to fly around.
She reached out to save one but then noticed another one flying in the air. She reached out to grab it but missed. She had forgotten about her injured knees in the process.
“Ouch!” she exclaimed in pain, but her body was already leaning forward. Jasper acted swiftly. He scooped her up into his arms just in time, and gently rolled her onto the soft bed while pinning her down. Willow was frightened and closed her eyes instinctively.
Before she could open her eyes, she felt the man’s heavy breath next to her ear. Despite it being a rescue action, it felt like it had taken a toll on the man’s life..
The critical factor was not the rescue action, but the current situation of their bodies being in close contact. Willow opened her eyes, and the man’s handsome face was only an inch away from her. His breath blew onto her face. It was ambiguous and filled with male hormones.
His warm woody scent made her breathing. quicken involuntarily. In such a situation, her first instinct would be to resist forcefully if it were any other man. However, since this man was Jasper, it was a different story.
Her pretty face blushed and her somewhat. restless hands instinctively wrapped around the man’s neck. With a pair of doe-like eyes, she looked at him with eyes like a timid deer.
The man pressing on her became heavier. He was breathing more heavily like a wild beast panting. Despite this, Willow decided to play with fire at this moment. She lifted her head and kissed Jasper’s thin lips. His gaze became even more profound, and he reached for the woman’s hand around his neck… His voice was hoarse as he said, “Let go.”
She had no choice but to comply and let go, but the next moment, her wrists were pressed against her head by the man. The ambiguous atmosphere escalated.
Willow couldn’t help but tremble. She felt as if she was being held tightly by a wild beast and was unsure of how to react. Finally, his lips met hers, but it was a gentle and tender kiss that intoxicated her.
One kiss seemed to last for several minutes. Willow’s face turned as red as if she were on fire. Jasper also realized that he had overstepped and immediately sat up while offering a hasty apology. “I’m sorry.”
After speaking, he pushed the door open and left. Willow sat on the bed. Her face was flushed, her mind was in chaos, and her lips were slightly swollen, but her heart, filled with sweetness. Her lips, still puckered, couldn’t stop a sweet smile from forming. She touched her red lips with her hand. That kiss, both domineering and gentle, really made it hard for her to resist.
Willow was about to get out of bed when she realized something embarrassing. Her legs felt weak and her body was numb. Now, she was crouched on the ground with her face covered and she did not want to get up at that moment. Jasper’s kiss was too charming.
As she pondered, a strange feeling of jealousy washed over her. She couldn’t help but wonder if he had only kissed her before. The way he kissed her just now didn’t feel like that of an inexperienced person. The thought of him possibly kissing other women made her heart tighten with unease.
Just then, Willow reached for a piece of paper that was blown to the ground. She didn’t even know she had picked up the wrong one. Originally, it was a painting, but suddenly she had a different perception of it. The sea depicted in the painting now looked like the sky. while the golden cloud-like elements in the sky became treasures beneath the sea.
