Chapter 88 Be Good

As the car approached, Vera was shocked to see that it was Eileen, accompanied by an unfamiliar man. However, there was something vaguely familiar about him.

“Eric, let’s pull over quickly. It’s Eileen.”

Eileen looked at the car and noticed the familiar license plate number. Her face instantly turned pale.

Just as smoke started billowing from the car’s hood, Eileen hurriedly got out. However, as soon as her foot touched the ground, her body went limp.

Fabian quickly grabbed a spare fire extinguisher and put out the fire.

Jasper walked over, his face filled with concern as he checked on Eileen. “Are you hurt? Can you stand up?”

She wasn’t hurt. Jasper had protected her well during the incident. Eileen didn’t want to admit that she had fallen because her legs had given out from fear.

Whenever she thought about the puppeteer behind the scenes, Eileen’s heart couldn’t find peace. Apprehension constantly loomed over her.

Wiping the blood from his forehead, Richard said, “Ms. Eileen, you must have been frightened.”

A cold glint of murderous intent flashed in Jasper’s eyes, but he gently reassured her. “It’s okay, don’t be afraid. I’ll handle this. Can I help you up?”

Eileen spoke softly. “Are you hurt?”

The corners of Jasper’s mouth lifted into a smile. “I’m fine.”

That’s great. I’m glad he’s okay.

Jasper helped Eileen up, her legs still a bit weak. As she stood, she noticed something off about Jasper’s complexion. “Why is your face so pale? Are your legs injured?”

“Lift it up, let me have a look…

Jasper held her hand. “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Fabian said, “I’ve already contacted the mansion. They’ll be sending a car soon. Please bear with it a little longer, Mr. Smith.”
