Even in Darkness She Chose to Rise (Tatiana and Jasper) novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 The Paternal Debt

He had only ever felt guilty about this one thing in his entire life.

Jasper lowered his head, his eyes cast down, emotions churning within, lost in thought.

“I plan to reach out to Soren to prevent this situation from escalating further.”

“No need. I will handle this matter.”

Gordon looked at him, shaking his head in disagreement. “This matter is too serious and involves too much. You can’t handle it. You were just a reckless boy back then; what the hell do you know?”

Jasper didn’t spare him either, his tone flat. “You have one foot in the grave; you can’t manage that much.”

“You! You insolent boy! Your wings have grown hard, have they?”

“You cannot act. Let me handle it.”

Seeing that Jasper was serious and not joking, Gordon wavered.

“What guarantee do you have?”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Insolent boy!”

“I will temporarily send you abroad for recuperation. Choose a country you like.”

Gordon glared, frustrated. “I’m this old! Is it appropriate to just dump me overseas?”

This time, Jasper didn’t smile. He looked at him seriously and sternly, speaking word by word:

“You are this old. I don’t want you to face any more stress. You should step down, find a place to settle down comfortably, and wait for me to bring you back.”

Gordon’s eyes suddenly welled up. He was moved to tears but, clinging to his pride, he lied. “Oh, why is the wind blowing in my eyes? How unlucky!”

Jasper chuckled softly, not refuting his excuse. “Yes, you’re right, it is windy. Do you want to wipe them?”

“Nonsense! I’m not crying!”

Gordon had completely dropped his usual dignified facade.

“Yes, you’re not crying.”

After a long moment of composure.

Gordon finally put his trust in his grandson. “Can you truly handle it?”

“Yes. I can.”

“Am I a burden to you by staying here?”

“You know the answer.”

“Insolent boy!”

The conversation fell into a long silence once more.

Gordon finally spoke. “Take me to Cindersport then.”

“Alright, I will make the arrangements.”

It was late. Jasper got up, preparing to leave. “Please get some rest.”

“Jasper.”

“Hmm?”

“Tell me honestly, are you truly hiding anything?”

“No.”

Gordon remained slightly uneasy, convinced his grandson was keeping a secret, but with no proof, he could only console himself that it was a mere illusion.

“Go on. Bring Hubert back tomorrow. I need to see my grandson before I leave.”

“Alright.”

Jasper drove away from the old mansion, pressing the accelerator deeper and deeper, speeding down the road.

Beneath his seemingly calm, handsome face, turbulent emotions were threatening to spill out.

Two choices.

Inform her, or hide it?

Tatiana is Lindsey’s granddaughter, the heir to all the Lane family assets. Once she is formally recognized, she will be one of the most distinguished women alive.

If she wanted to disappear, no one would find her.

She still hates him. Once she gains the power to completely evade him and fight for custody, she will definitely leave.

Hide it?

She is her only living relative in the world.

If he hides the truth, he will be equally unforgivable when she eventually finds out.

Either path leads to a dead end.

It seems like a choice, but in reality, there is none.

The rush of anxiety and hostility submerged him. He was wrapped in mud, unable to move forward, with no direction ahead.

A long time later, his car stopped downstairs.

He didn’t get out, nor did he disturb her. He just sat quietly in the car, lighting one cigarette after another.

Dawn broke softly.
