Chapter 713

*Justin was a 15-year-old. And he was taller and stronger than Jasper,” Newton explained.

However, Justin was still a defenseless teenager at that time. How did he manage to

subdue the

kidnappers so Jasper could escape?

Alyssa, keeping her doubts to herself, wondered, “Grandpa, what happened next? How did

Justin escape

from the kidnappers?

Newton turned pale and trembled as he answered, “We paid Gustav the two billion dollars

in ransom. Half a month later, Justin appeared in front of the Seaview Manor gates,

completely naked.

“When we found him, he was covered in blood and nearly dying from the torture. He spent

a month in the hospital and underwent six months of psychiatric treatment before he

improved, but his health was

forever ruined.”

“Why?” Alyssa asked in shock.

Newton said, “We learned from Justin later that he had infuriated Gustav and the gang

after helping Jasper to escape. They couldn’t kill him off due to the ransom, so they turned

him into a punching bag.

“They starved him, punched him, and even put him into a tightly sealed container. Due to

the long-term abuse, he suffered from hypoxia. When he was hospitalized, he nearly lost

his life from multiple organ

failure. It took us a lot of effort to save his life.

“Until now, Justin is in poor health. He is also immunocompromised. Many times, he can

only go out in a

wheelchair. In the end, we owe him a tremendous debt.”

At this point, Alyssa had pieced the puzzle together. The incident was the source of

Jasper’s guilt toward Justin. It also clarified Javier’s hostility and stringent demeanor

toward Jasper.

Jasper survived a traumatic experience as a child thanks to Justin’s help, but as a result,

disabled.

She couldn’t even picture the emotional burden on Jasper, It was why he endured Javier’s

scolding

without retaliating, all due to his indebtedness to Justin.

Newton reminded her, “Alice, do not let Jasper know that I told you about the kidnapping

and Justin. Act

like you don’t know if he doesn’t bring it up.”

She smiled thoughtfully. “I understand. Don’t worry.”

“Alice, will you look down on Jasper after learning the story? Will you see him as a coward

once and for all.

“Yes, it was indeed him, confirmed a troubled Newton. “Javier and I were cautious, but

Gustav seized an opportunity and kidnapped my two grandsons.”

Alyssa’s heart dropped upon hearing that. She whispered, “What happened next?”

“After they took away Justin and Jasper, they demanded a ransom of two billion dollars-one

billion for each kid. That was an astronomical amount back in those times. However, I

didn’t even blink an eye and prepared the money. The safety of my grandsons came first.

“That cunning Gustav kept switching the meetup location to fool us. We dared not even

file a police report for weeks after Justin and Jasper had been kidnapped.

Staring at the ground, Newton shook his head bitterly. “Jasper went through a lot and

escaped from where they were held with injuries over his body. I couldn’t believe it-he was

only 11!”

“Did he escape alone?” Alyssa gasped in surprise. “How did he manage to pull it off at that

age, surrounded by those ruthless gangsters? Someone must have helped him.”

“Yes. Justin did.”

Alyssa inhaled sharply at the revelation.
