Henry felt his scalp grow numb. ‘Why was Jasper here?’

Jasper was the one the Combe brothers were dealing with!

Henry had not jumped at the sight of Jasper, but it was a close call.

His first thought was a reflection of how there were so many coincidences in the world.

Henry wanted to speak, but he saw the look Jasper gave him.

With a gulp, Henry forced the words on the tip of his tongue down his throat.

Jasper was stunned when he saw Henry as well.

The only difference between them was that Jasper reacted quicker and gave Henry a warning glance when he realized that Henry was the aforementioned distinguished guest the brothers spoke of. He hinted to Henry not to expose their relationship.

If the distinguished guest was anyone else, then Jasper might have had to put some effort into this.

Yet luck seemed to be on his side when Henry walked in. Jasper could not help but feel… that the Heavens wanted to teach the Combe brothers a lesson tonight.
