Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 2348

However, Willow found him peculiar, as his actions forbade her from turning back. Her curiosity was piqued even more, and she

struggled in his embrace. The more he tried to prevent her from peeking, the more she wanted to see.

Jasper firmly pressed down her head and said sternly, “Don’t look.”

She felt a bit aggrieved being held down like this with her face pressed against his chest. Subsequently, he carried her for more

than three hundred feet before finally releasing her, and she had no choice but to stop looking.

When she returned to the campsite, she overheard a few team members talking about several corpses dressed in pirate costumes

floating among the ocean. They had all been dragged ashore and disposed of by the bodyguards.

A few male team members looked uncomfortable, and they prevented the female team members from peeking. Now, Willow

understood why Jasper had taken her away forcefully.

In the evening, she sat among several female team members and listened to their gossip. Tpassed unnoticed, and it was

already late, so everyone huddled into the tent to sleep. Earlier on, Willow had listened to a few scary ghost stories, and her heart

becchilly. She was unafraid when listening to the tales, but now, she was scared.

She genuinely wished Jasper would cover and accompany her, but he did not after she waited for a long time. She lifted the

curtain and saw Johanna, who was guarding her. Then, she requested, “Johanna, can you get Jasper for me?”

Johanna understood and smiled. “Sure, Miss Presgrave. I'll get him right away.”

Jasper was in a meeting with Winston and the other leaders when Johanna went to get him. “Mr. Wyatt, Miss Presgrave is looking

for you.”

Jasper was a little surprised at first. Then, he walked quickly toward the tent where Willow was. He bent down and looked at the girl

inside, gently asking, “What's wrong?”

“| just listened to a few scary ghost stories, and I'm a little scared. | don’t think | can sleep alone.” Willow was honest.

He wanted to laugh, but he held back. After a moment of thought, he said, “I'll wash up first and cback.”

“It's okay. | don’t mind. Let's sleep!” said Willow.

Still, Jasper went to bathe because he had helped move the bodies in the afternoon and needed to clean up before getting close to

her. “Givetwenty minutes,” he said before leaving.

In the meantime, she played with her phone while waiting for him. Twenty minutes passed, and she was still wide awake. Finally,

she heard footsteps outside the curtain. As the barrier lifted, Jaspers tall figure entered. He exuded the fragrance of the bath as it

filled the small space. Following that, she immediately leaned against him and hugged his arm.

With the man beside her, she felt safe and soon began to feel drowsy. She closed her eyes contentedly and, in her half-asleep

state, tossed and turned. When her leg cover, his large hand blocked it in time, resisting her leg from pressing against his

sensitive part.

Jasper lowered his head, looked at the girl falling asleep, and gently retracted his arm. Then, he left the tent softly as if coaxing a

child. Soon enough, Ricky cforward to report. “Mr. Wyatt, we just discovered a large yacht about ten nautical miles away. They

sent a message claiming to be an archaeological team from Dansbury. Their captain's nis Jett Jefferson.”

“Pfft! | bet they're cultural relic smugglers posing as an archaeological team from Dansbury. | didn’t expect them to follow us here.”

Winston sneered.

“Winston, do you know him?”

“l do. He's a notorious dealer who's been smuggling our country’s cultural relics for years. We've always been worried he would

target this batch of cultural relics, but | didn’t expect him to find us.”

“Our mission this tis a secret operation. How did he find out?”

Winston also found it strange. “Yes! How did they know we had gains here?”

“Perhaps there's a traitor in our team,” Ricky said in a hushed voice.
