Chapter 2351

“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.”
