**TITLE: Even the Night Couldn’t Silence Her Light**

**Chapter 157: You Don’t Deserve Her**

If she chose to remain in the country, it was only a matter of time before he would track her down.

Finished.

Chandler found it difficult to confront the reality of the situation, but deep down, he understood that Jasper’s influence was formidable. He had the Jackson family ensnared in a grip that felt unbreakable, like that of a tyrant ruling over his subjects.

“I can’t leave just yet.”

“Why not? Is it that you still can’t bear to part from him?”

Chandler’s frustration simmered just below the surface, his anger almost palpable.

“No, that’s not it at all. I have someone I need to find—someone of utmost importance. I need to bring her with me.”

Chandler’s anger began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of determination. “Alright. I’ll find a way to secure another boat ticket.”

Tatiana’s eyes softened with gratitude. “Thank you.”

“You should rest now. Don’t let anything else trouble you, and don’t be afraid.”

His voice was soothing, yet the pain in his expression was unmistakable as his gaze fell upon the scar marring her face.

“Tatiana, your face…”

She instinctively turned her head away, unwilling to discuss the past that haunted her.

Chandler sensed her discomfort and immediately shifted the topic, choosing to focus on the present. As long as she was alive, that was the only truth that mattered.

“Make sure to get some sleep tonight. I’ll come by again tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

With that, Chandler departed, leaving her in solitude.

The night stretched on, restless and filled with unease.

Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, nerves taut as a drawn bowstring; sleep eluded her completely.

Unbeknownst to her, chaos reigned in the outside world due to her sudden disappearance.

The door swung open with a violent force.

**Chapter 157: You Don’t Deserve Her**

Finished.

Gordon, nursing a bitter concoction, glanced up slowly before turning his gaze away, clearly uninterested.

Jasper strode into the room with purpose, pulling out a chair and sitting down with an air of authority. “What did you say to her?”

“What are you talking about?”

Gordon grimaced at the taste of the medicine, popping a sweet hawthorn berry into his mouth to mask the bitterness.

Jasper’s eyes bore into him, unyielding. “You know exactly what I mean.”

“I’m getting old; my memory isn’t what it used to be. Speak plainly.”

“She’s gone.”

“Who’s gone?”

“Tatiana.”

“Oh. She probably went on a trip or something.”

Gordon’s tone was dismissive, as if the matter were trivial.

Jasper shot to his feet, urgency coursing through him. “Where is she?”

“How am I supposed to know? Aren’t you the one who’s meant to know her best?”

“You helped her, didn’t you?”

The accusation ignited a fire within Gordon.

“You can’t find her, so you come here to take it out on me?”
