Chapter 2356
Night of Destiny
Willowâs eyes widened as she exclaimed in excitement, âThis is fantastic! We finally found it, Winston.
Weâve finally made a breakthrough.â Winston, who was equally thrilled, gave a firm nod in return. âYes!
We didnât just achieve something spectacular as itâs also a great achievement for our country.â
âMy parentsâ salvage team is on their way, but it will take them about five days to arrive. Weâll have to
keep this a secret from Jett for now. They have definitely come prepared with all the necessary
equipment in order to start salvaging immediately.â
âSince this is international waters, we canât restrict their actions. We will need to act as quickly as
possible,â Winston reminded, growing tense.
Jasper nodded in agreement. After he returned to his room, he took a shower and started working on
his computer. Johanna then brought him a cup of coffee, and Willow handed the cup to him.
âHave some coffee to stay alert!â Willow said to him. Jasper obediently took a few sips of coffee. Just
as he was about to put the cup down, Willow held onto the cup and started drinking from the same cup.
Jasperâs heart skipped a beat as he worked on his computer and swiftly noticed several hacker
accounts attempting to breach his defenses. A faint smirk appeared on his lips; it was a smile. of
contempt.
Willow placed the cup of coffee down as she looked at his broad back and reached out tentatively.
Even though she couldnât understand the complex programs on his computer, she still wanted to be
near him as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her chin against his shoulder.
He turned his face to the side in response. She couldnât help but giggle as their cheeks pressed against
the othersâ before she planted two quick kisses on his cheek.
His composure wavered slightly, and a faint smile crept onto his lips as he was unable to resist the
sweet gesture. It was clear that she was also basking in the moment as she simply nestled into his
shoulder.
In the afternoon, the two of them enjoyed the subtle atmosphere in the room, which was even more
exhilarating than being in a real romantic. relationship. âWhat are you doing?â Willow asked.
âBuilding a firewall, Jasper replied absentmindedly while his fingers typed away complex code that
seemed to flow effortlessly under his hands. She shot him a look of admiration. âYouâre amazing.â
Although he had heard similar praises in the past, it was different when it fell from her lips.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Jettâs team was tense and restless. His subordinates were all
brainstorming for ideas when one of them blurted, âWhy donât we check underwater? Perhaps the ship
sank here all those years. ago?â
âYouâre right! We havenât found anything on the island yet, but there might be clues underwater.â Jett
started contemplating the plausibility of this option; even though it might be a waste of resources, it was
still worth a try.
His subordinates, feeling the pressure and fearing criticism, decided to take the plunge into the sea to
see if they could find any clues.
Willow arranged for her familyâs bodyguards to spy on their movements. When evening fell, they
reported some crucial information. Willow, Winston, and Jasper discussed the situation in the meeting
room.
Willow was understandably anxious since the shipwreck was nearby. There was a high chance the
others might very well stumble upon it if they went underwater.
âWe canât let them find it before we do; otherwise, theyâll take everything for themselves, she muttered
anxiously. She was growing increasingly agitated because this operation meant a lot to her.
Jasper put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly. âDonât worry. I wonât let them get their hands on it
until we do.â
Winston sighed wearily. âMr. Wyatt, based on my observations last time, Jett Jefferson has brought
over a dozen muscles with him. We do have our men, but things might get out of control the instant
weâre in conflict. The artifacts are important, but so are our lives, especially Sweetie here.â
She was the baby of the Presgrave Family. Since they couldnât decide on what to do for now, Willow
stepped outside to catch some fresh air. She had asked around and discovered that her familyâs
salvage team would take at least three days to make it here.
Jasper leaned against the railing and tenderly gazed at her stressed figure. At that moment, he
desperately wanted to ease her emotions. He couldnât help but feel his heart ache at her anxious
expression whenever he laid his eyes on her.
