“Felix, you’re really smart!” Jasper exclaimed.
Felix’s face lit up with pride, and he replied with a cute smile, “Of course, I’m a genius!”
Jasper patted Felix’s shoulder and praised him, “Well done.”
The sales assistant didn’t expect the mother and son she had looked down upon to know the shop’s owner. This
meant she must have been surprised.
She hurriedly started packing the sun and star ornaments.
Jasper’s tone turned cold as he remarked, “You’re fired. The store manager will handle the rest.”
The store manager rushed over and took over the ornament packing, making them look perfect.
“Mommy, use your card!” Felix tugged on Esther’s hand.
Jasper stopped them and said, “No need. This is a gift from me.”

Jasper chuckled and said, “Alright, I’ll give you a discount.”
“Jasper, there’s no need,” Esther said. She could afford the gifts, and Felix was also well-off. “I’ll pay the price she
mentioned.”
“Calculate the pesos’ exchange rate and swipe the card at that rate,” Jasper instructed the store manager.
Neither Jasper nor Esther wanted to be petty with the sales assistant, but she must have felt embarrassed.
“Alright.” The store manager swiftly provided a figure.
Esther swiped her card, and Felix was delighted with his chosen gifts.
“Wait!” Felix walked to the door but turned back, picking up an apple ornament. “I almost forgot to get a gift for
Jacob.”
Esther would have forgotten too if Felix hadn’t mentioned it.
After paying, Jasper offered to drive Esther and Felix to meet Xara and the others.
“Esther,” Jasper said.
Esther paused as she saw Jasper’s meaningful look. She gestured for Felix to get into the car first.
Softly, Jasper told her, “Esther, Mr. Quill has found some information. You might have to endure more hardships for
a while to keep the Pendletons at bay.”
Esther asked, “When will this end?”

“The timing is uncertain, but rest assured. You and Bradley are not officially divorced, so marrying Chadwick is
impossible.”
“Should I tell Bradley about this?”

“Understood.”
Jasper continued with genuine concern. “Since Dr. Sadler is here, you can talk to her. I hope you’ll find happiness
every day.”
“Jasper, you and Jordyn…” Esther’s words trailed off.
Jasper looked embarrassed. “She’s great, and she’s willing to wait for me. Esther, as I’ve said before, I’ll always be
your best friend.”
Esther kept a friendly distance from Jasper and said gently, “Then you should take good care of her.”
“Don’t worry about me. When have I ever let you down? You should focus on yourself!”
Jasper escorted Esther to the car and thanked Clark.
Clark glanced at Jasper and said, “Mr. Searle, I’ve been around for a while. I drive very safely.”
Lately, he had been investigating the events from five years ago. He always wondered if everything that had
happened to Esther at that time was fake and deliberately fabricated.
