Charlotte’s expression darkened. “He’s not stupid enough to leave a trail back to himself.”

Sean tumed to look at Desmond, who lay pale and weak in the hospital bed. Histene held a hint of guilt. “Mr. Riley, I’m sorry this happened to you. This mess started because of me.”

family has power, influence. Don’t tell me no one in the Jasper family can do anything

Desmond’s voice was frail “Sean, Charlotte already told me everything. Your family! about Joseph Ford? You’er just going to let him get away with this?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Riley. Right now, I can only speculate that Joseph was behind the attack. We don’t have any concrete evidence, and without that, the police can’t

Desmond frowned. “Sometimes, being a gentleman isn’t enough. If the other side is playing dirty, you have to be diler. You’re not a cop. Why are you so stuck on

Sean lowered his eyes.

Of course he understood that,

It wasn’t about insisting on legal justice. The real issue was that Joseph had only just returned to the country. He was hiding, never staying in one place too long. Every time Seen got a lead and sent someone, Joseph was already gone

As Sean was getting ready to leave, Charlotte closed her laptop and said quietly, “I’ll go with you.”

Charlotte sighed. “Dad, the reason they’re targeting you is to get to me. As long as I stay hidden, you, Aunt Xena, and Jodie will always be in danger Xema was taken aback “Charlotte, we have bodyguards now. I don’t think anything else will happen. But you really need to be careful.” Desmond snorted, “if being tied to the Jasper family means putting our lives at risk, then maybe this engagement shouldn’t continue.”

Charlotte froze, a chill spreading through her body.

She knew he wasn’t jolding-

“Dad..” Her voice was hoarse “Let me talk to Sean.”
