“Do you remember that you dealt with Eden last time? Do you remember the matter about Jasper and
Selena that I told you last time?”
How could Robert not remember the matter? Robert asked.
“What happened? Did something happen to Selena abroad?”
“It's not about Selena, but something happened to Jasper. I told you last time that I didn't know what
possessed Jennifer to pretend that she had sex with Jasper, and she insisted on Jasper taking
responsibility for it. Jasper didn't care about it, and he treated it as he married a decor. I have to help
Selena conceal this, but it's not easy to tell Jasper about this. I think the farce between Jasper and
Jennifer will start from the engagement, and they will divorce if they can't get married or after marriage.
But an accident happens, and I'm not sure what to do now.”
“What kind of accident? It seems like not a simple matter when I see your face now. Is it serious?”
Jason nodded heavily.
“Both families of Jasper and Jennifer arranged two of them to be engaged in early spring next year. I
think that Jennifer will not force Jasper to marry her if the engagement drags. She did it to disgust us at
that time, but there is something happened now. Jennifer is pregnant and insisted that the baby is
Jasper's. Jasper told me that their engagement has moved up to the end of this month, and then they
will get married next month. I know that Jasper does not care about the marriage. But I have more in
mind when it comes to the baby.”
“Do you suspect that the baby is not Jasper's since it was Selena inside the room that night, and
Jennifer went in later? So you have suspicions about her baby? We can't tell the truth to Jasper, even
though we know it. So you feel depressed now, don't you?”
Jason nodded.
“It's true indeed. Jasper does not care about his marriage. I don't care about the farce made between
Jasper and Jennifer at first, but it involves a baby now. If the baby is Jasper's, the marriage between
them will be complicated. Jasper will make a fool of himself if the baby is not his. Who am I to say that
the person that night was not Jennifer, and the baby is not his. I can't provide any evidence.”
“Moreover, there is a possibility that the baby may be Jasper's. Jennifer may also do this kind of thing
since she is crazy now. I want to discuss with you that what to do next. Now it's in my head. I feel sorry
for Jasper if I don't tell him the truth. What should Selena do if I tell him the truth? What should the
Holland family do? I'm so confused now.”
Robert also struggled with Jason's words.
“Do you still have contact with Selena now? How is she now?”
“Selena seldom contact with me. She has always felt that she has troubled us, and she won't call me if
she doesn't have any difficulties. I occasionally called her to ask about her physical condition, and she
only said that everything was all right and didn't worry about her. I don't dare to tell her that Jennifer is
pregnant now. I'm afraid that she will worry about Jasper.”
“A pregnant woman can do the paternity test for the baby as well. However, the relationship between
the Holland family and the Johnson family is over if we let Jennifer do the test. The Johnson family will
not agree on dragging the wedding of Jasper and Jennifer until the baby is born and done the test. I
know that you don't want Jasper to hold the bag. Then we lie to him that you saw another woman in the
room that night, but you don't confirm whether Jennifer went in and had sex with him. You don't tell him
that the woman you saw was Selena. What do you think?”
“It takes one hundred lies to cover up one lie. I think it is dangerous, but it seems to be the only way to
solve the problem. Should we call Jasper over and talk with him?”
Jason tentatively asked Robert. Jason had the same thought as Robert that he could not look on
miserably and watch Jasper be a cuckold and raise a child for another man.
Jasper was cynical, but he should not be humiliated by this matter.
“You make a phone call for Jasper to come over.”
Jasper received a call from them, and they said that there was an important thing to be discussed in
Robert's villa. He felt a little strange about it.
However, he had no problem with it since they wanted to meet.
Jasper immediately drove to Robert's villa. Three people were sitting in the living room. Jasper smiled
and asked when he saw Robert and Jason looked distressed.
“Why you guys look wretched? You can speak freely. Is it because of Jennifer? I'll take responsibility for
her since she is pregnant. I'm only marrying a wife. I'll be a responsible father in the future. I can also
be a responsible husband, but it depends on whether Jennifer can honestly be my wife. I will respect
my wife, and I will be good to her and treat her with respect as long as she doesn't make trouble out of
anything. Why you guys look worried about me?”
Jasper thought that Jason and Robert were worried because of Jennifer possibly marrying him. Robert
took a glance at Jason while Jason said heavily.
“There is one thing that I've not known how to tell you. Jasper, please don't beat me after I say it.”
Jasper had never seen Jason looked solemn like this. He asked discreetly.
“Don't keep me guessing. We've been brothers for so many years, say it frankly.”
“Didn't you drink wine and felt like taking pills on the night of our family dinner? You asked me to
arrange a woman for you at that time. I've sent a woman to you indeed, but the woman left once she
received the money in the first half of the night. In the latter half of the night, I didn't know when
Jennifer went into your room and how she was in your bed. I couldn't explain to you since I didn't know
what happened in your room at that time. I felt not good to say it. However, Jennifer is pregnant now.
I'm worrying that the baby she is carrying may not be yours.”
After Jason speaking, Jasper's face clouded over.
“Why are you telling me now? Where is the woman who took the money? I won't feel anything even if
you tell me at that time.”
“Many things have happened on that day. Robert was missing in my place. I had to put my whole soul
to look for the murderer and Robert that night. Jennifer meddled in at that time. I've always thought that
you must take responsibility for Jennifer if she had sex with you in the latter half of the night, even if you
had sex with another woman in the first half of the night. It was pointless to say it at that time, but
Jennifer is pregnant now. We all know that Jennifer is a dishonest woman. I'm worrying that she is
conceiving another man's baby. I always feel that she wants to disgust us.”
Robert also said by the side.
“Jasper, we've been brothers for so many years. You know that I'll not just intervene in this. We have
known Jennifer for more than ten years, and we all know what kind of character she is since she was a
child. Jennifer kept pestering me in the past, and she never stopped even though I have refused. Then,
she turned her attention to you and forced you to marry her. Jennifer is even pregnant now. We are
worrying that she has an ulterior motive. We thought that we could only call you over and tell you the
truth.”
“I won't blame you guys. I'm a little angry that you didn't tell me the truth at that time, but it is not a big
deal. You're worrying that the baby Jennifer is carrying is not mine, right?”
Robert and Jason nodded at the same time.
“You can't marry a woman who is conceiving another man's baby, even though you don't care about the
marriage. It is such a grievance.”
Jasper nodded.
“You guys are right. I treat the marriage as a joke at first, but who knows, Jennifer is pregnant.
I'm a little overwhelmed about it since I can't force Jennifer to do a paternity test now. The Johnson
family will kill me if I do so. It is dangerous for a pregnant woman to do a paternity test. Do you have
other better ways?”
Robert and Jason shook their heads.
“The reason we called you over is that we can't think of other ways and have to remind you of this
matter. You have to figure it out yourself if you can trick Jennifer to do the test.”
“She usually only talks to my mother and pretends to show a smile when facing me. She looks lovable,
but who knows what's on her mind. Forget it as if I have an unfortunate fate. I'll do the paternity test
after marrying her and after her baby is born. The baby may be mine. Who knows what Jennifer will do
when she is desperate?”
Jasper said and heaved a deep sigh as if he had given up on this.
He would treat the marriage as a joke if there was no baby. However, Jasper was not an irresponsible
person. He must treat Jennifer well if there was a baby.
Jasper wished that Jennifer would not embarrass him or conspired behind his back. If Jennifer did so,
he would not be silent and would revenge ruthlessly.
The three people discussed for a long time but failed to conclude in the end. They could not kidnap
Jennifer to the hospital for the paternity test since she was the young lady of the Johnson family. She
could only do the paternity test after the baby was born. He had to resign himself if the baby was his. If
the baby was not his, he could confidently divorce Jennifer.
Anyway, they had told Jasper the truth in advance so that Jasper could always guard against Jennifer.
Robert sent five of his bodyguards to Travis's side the next morning.
At nine in the morning, a man in a black suit walked into Travis's ward.
“Hi, Mr. Armstrong. I'm assistant of Ms.Duran. Ms.Duran said that she has an appointment to meet with
you.”
The assistant showed a video call on his phone after speaking. Sarah showed her face in the video
which, was the same as the photo Travis saw yesterday.
Sarah spoke on the other end of the phone.
“If you trust me, you can follow my man to a safe place to talk. I heard that you always have
bodyguards around to protect you. You can bring them along as well.”
“I will come over, Ms.Duran.”
Travis responded to her.
After a few minutes, Travis sat in the car with the bodyguards assigned by Robert and the people sent
by Sarah in the car parking lot.
The car was puttering gently along the road then stopped at a suburban villa about an hour later.
The place was underpopulated. The assistant opened the car door, then Travis out of the car with the
help of the bodyguard.
Travis was not recovered yet and needed to be in a wheelchair. The bodyguard wheeled him into the
villa.
After about five minutes, the bodyguard wheeled Travis to the living room of the villa. A young woman
was sitting on the sofa.
She wore her hair in a ponytail. She was in a white shirt and black trousers. She looked solemn which,
was the same as the photo and video showed. She was with a cold and glamorous temperament.
Sarah smiled weakly at Travis when she saw Travis entered the living room.
“Mr. Armstrong, thank you for coming over. I'm Sarah.”
