Chapter 2358
Night of Destiny
Other team members immediately gathered. around as some of them picked up binoculars and looked
at the dorsal fins on the water before they exclaimed in panic, âWhatâs going on?! Why are there sharks
here?â
âWhat should we do? We canât dive if thereâs a risk of shark attacks. It would be disastrous.â Although
they were hired for the job, their lives were always their top priority.
âHurry! Contact Jett and report the situation here.â After Jett received the call and a few photos soon
after, he immediately cursed in frustration, âSh*t.â
âBoss, we canât dive today. We canât take the risk now that there are sharks lurking in the area.â Jett
had no choice but to give up upon hearing those words. So, he ordered them to return and wait until
the sharks were gone before deciding on a new diving date.
Willow also soon received a report from the bodyguards that Jettâs crew had returned. âWhy did they
turn around?â Willow asked in surprise.
âWe are not sure what is going on, but none of them have gone underwater. Even their equipment was
unloaded from the ship.â
Regardless of the reason, Willow couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just then, she heard
someone outside greeting Jasper. So, she rushed out in excitement and threw herself into his arms.
âGood news! Jettâs men didnât dive.â
Jasper gently pushed her away from his embrace. âI know.â She blinked, a bit puzzled that he had been
absent all night. To make matters even stranger, he was even rejecting her physical affections.
âWhy wonât you let me hug you?â Willow murmured, feeling wronged. âItâs not that. I smell of blood; I
need to take a shower first.â
She hurriedly inquired, âWhere were you last night?â âI attracted some sharks nearby. Thatâs why Jettâs
men turned back.â He didnât see the point in hiding anything from her.
âOho!â Willow was astonished. Even Winston was shocked. It turned out there truly was nothing Jasper
couldnât do in this world. He actually managed to do something like this!
Nonetheless, Willow still rushed into his arms. and hugged his waist. âI donât mind if youâre dirty. Youâre
not allowed to push me away.â Jasper smiled helplessly. âAlright, alright.â
Winston, who accidentally witnessed their intimate moment, quickly fled the scene. Jasper returned to
where Willow was after taking a nice refreshing shower. On the other hand, Willow had prepared
breakfast for him. Then, they spent a romantic time together as they sat in the cabinâs lounge, enjoying
the sea view.
She propped her chin and looked at him with her big eyes that possessed the mysterious ability to say
everything she was thinking, making him a bit embarrassed.
âDonât stare at me,â he complained affectionately in a gentle tone. She blinked. âBut⦠I like looking at
you. Is that a crime, Mr. Wyatt?â
This statement carried a hint of flirtation, paired with Willowâs smug smile⦠Well, it left the man.
somewhat speechless..
âItâs your fault for having a face so handsome. In fact, it should be a crime to look this good. Donât
blame me for looking at you!â Willow teasingly pushed the responsibility back to him.
The man couldnât help but choke slightly at her brazen words, his handsome face and ears turning
pink. It seemed that he was still weak to teasing.
âAlright, enjoy your breakfast. Iâll go back to my room to rest for a bit. I didnât sleep well last night when
you were away.â Willow didnât disturb him any longer.
âOkay!â Jasper nodded. She felt relieved after learning about what happened with Jettâs team. They
had decided not to dive and were now changing their focus to search for clues in the mountains.
Since Jett and his team didnât dare to take their chances underwater, she could delay their actions until
her salvage team arrived. Moreover, in order to preserve the artifacts, a team of national
archaeologists, along with 20 bodyguards from the Presgrave Family were sent.
They were all working together to safeguard her cause. Three days had passed in the blink of an eye..
As Jett stood on his ship with a pair of binoculars in his hands to watch Willowâs team, he was suddenly
filled with worry. Why arenât her people doing anything? Did she already discover something?
Lately, he had also been filled with anxiety as this expedition had cost him a considerable amount of
money. He feared he would go bankrupt if they returned empty-handed. His fortune relied on the
valuable artifacts which were supposed to be a surefire source of wealth.
