Jasper hadnât even finished his flattery when Yvette coldly interrupted, saying, âIâm hanging up.â
Although Yvette wasnât short on money, she only spent it where neededâcase in point, Jubilife Research Instituteâs chip development, which was a bottomless pit. Just yesterday, she had poured in 50 million dollars.
Yvette definitely didnât have spare money to lend Jasper.
âYvette, please, you canât just leave me hanging like thisâ¦â
Yvette was annoyed by his sobbing. She said, âGo ask Wilson.â
âI wouldnât dareâ¦â The mere mention of Wilsonâs name caused Jasperâs expression to fall, revealing his guilty conscience.
He couldnât bring himself to tell Wilson that he had entered a car race and ended up losing 5% of Quinn Corporationâs shares. It was simply too humiliating!
Yvette raised an eyebrow. âWhat did you do that you need so much money?â
âIâI raced cars at an underground racing track and made a bet, but I lost. The wager was 5% of Quinn Corporationâs shares,â Jasper admitted, his regret palpable. âIf I donât hand over the shares, Iâll have to pay them in cash insteadâ¦â
An underground racing track?
Yvette was quite familiar with such settings. They were basically places of utter chaos and mayhem, full of shady characters. The people there likely won using underhanded tactics.
She didnât usually meddle in such matters, but she was protective of her own. Since someone had the audacity to mess with her people, she was going to handle it herself.
âGive me the address.â Yvetteâs tone was indifferent, but it somehow made people want to comply with her instructions.
âYvette, Iâm right at Iâm right at-â Jasper began to provide the address, then suddenly realized what he was doing. He asked, âYvette, youâre not coming, are you? Youâre just a fragile girl, you wonât be able to solve anything-â
Yvette couldnât be bothered to talk further and hung up.
A quick 20 minutes later, her motorcycle stopped steadily at the entrance of the underground racing track.
âYvette, you really came?â
Jasper felt a headache coming on as soon as he saw her. He looked utterly dejected. âYvette, thereâs nothing you can do here. I really did lose to them!â
If only he had controlled himself earlier instead of impulsively betting in response to their provocation, then he wouldnât have dragged Yvette into this mess.
âI made this mess, so I should clean it up myselfâ Jasperâs words were cut short by an arrogant voice.
âJasper, you promised youâd honored the bet, but now youâve brought a chick here? Whatâs the meaning of this?â
Yvetteâs eyes turned colder at that disrespectful remark. She removed her helmet, and her long, wavy hair fell on her shoulders, accentuating her already stunning features. It wouldnât be an exaggeration to say she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Carson Shaw and the others who had been jeering earlier were now utterly astonished. They were unable to tear their eyes away.
âWhereâd you find such a gorgeous woman, Jasper?â
âYeah, weâve seen plenty of beauties, but never one like herâ¦â
Carsonâs eyes gleamed with lust. âJasper, if you hand her over to me, Iâll give you an extension. You can take your time repaying the debt-â
âDo you want to die or something?â Before Carson could finish his sentence, Jasper stormed over and kicked him in the shin.
âThatâs my sisterâinâlaw!â
Carson and his men were notorious playboys in Jubilife, relying on their powerful families to get away with almost everything. They didnât fear Jasper, but they were terrified of Wilson.
When they heard what Jasper said, their faces turned pale with fear. If this happened under any other circumstances, Carson wouldâve jumped up and fought Jasper after being kicked. But now, he was too scared to do anything.
