Chapter 46 Warranty
Helena felt shocked.
Jasper was already married?
His fiancée was Reeva, the only granddaughter of Zack?
Because of the marriage with the Bates family, the Bates family supported him unconditionally.
Again, because of his alliance with the Bates family, Martin chose to cause trouble at the Bates family’s venue, allowing him to betray Reeva in front of the Bates family.
Once the betrayal was successful, Reeva would withdraw from the marriage and the Bates family will withdraw their resources turning support into suppression.
The opportunity that Martin took advantage of turned out to be Jasper’s engagement relationship with Reeva!
Helena couldn’t understand it again: that night at Star Mansion, Reeva hadn’t appeared since the beginning. Zack had three sons, three grandsons and a great grandson, but she had never heard of a granddaughter since the beginning.
Why didn’t she show up?
Why not come with Jasper?
Jasper didn’t say a word about the engagement, and there were no rumours about their engagement from the outside world, why?
Helena felt that things were fishy and habitually leaned forward, “Grandpa, both the Bates and Howard families are big families, Reeva is the Bates family’s only granddaughter and Jasper is the best of the Howard family, why hasn’t their engagement been made public?”
Spencer wasn’t afraid to tell her, “The Bates family does things in a low profile and doesn’t like to make a statement, and the marriage between the two families is known to just a few well-connected families.”
Helena was convinced, it was indeed low-key, but: “Reeva is the Bates family’s only granddaughter, why has she never been seen? Why was she not present at the full moon banquet for Zack’s great grandson, when the entire family was present?”
“She’s not in A City.”
“Can’t make it back?”
“She is on the far frontier.”
“The frontier?” Helena’s heart trembled as a complex piece of background flashed through her mind.
Spencer simply told her everything, so that she would know the difficulty: “Reeva’s parents were both soldiers, and Reeva stayed at the frontier after they died. Jasper and Reeva were designated to be married. Just now it was said that Jasper had two missions: the second mission was to finish the marriage with Reeva.”
Helena was surprised, she hadn’t expected Reeva to be in this capacity: “Reeva is also a soldier?”
Spencer nodded, but his eyes flickered.
If Reeva were still alive, she would have become a soldier to carry on her parents’ legacy and serve her country.
Reeva’s father was a special forces soldier and her mother was a high-ranking spy. Due to their special status, all their information was classified. The Bates family only knew that they were married and only knew that she was a spy; what her name was, what she looked like and who else was in the family were unknown to them. Reeva’s father died shortly after she fell into danger and died after giving birth to Reeva early. When the Bates family heard the news two months later, they went out to look for her, only to find that she was already unaccounted for.
They had been searching for her all these years and had not been able to find her.
Jasper was always clamouring to see Reeva, but how? They didn’t know where Reeva was, they didn’t know what Reeva looked like …… However, they believed Reeva was still alive. The fact that Reeva was alive was their obsession and they believed that God would treat the hero’s daughter well. The fact that Reeva was still alive was also the greatest consolation to Zack.
So no matter what, the marriage cannot be withdrawn!
Jasper must guard Reeva, he must not have feelings for Helena, and Helena must not interfere: “They are in a military marriage, and you will go to jail for breaking a military marriage. I called you here today to advise you to leave Jasper and not risk your life.”
Helena was not afraid to take risks, nor would she seek death.
Because Jasper and Reeva were not registered as married, if they had been registered as married, Jasper and she would not have been able to get a marriage certificate. Without a registered marriage, Jasper and Reeva were not in a military marriage.
“What are you still hesitating about?”
Seeing her silence, Spencer tapped the tabletop to wake her up from her musings, “Haven’t I made myself clear enough? Haven’t you understood the implications?”
Helena understood, but: “Reeva has a special status and cannot accompany Jasper. Jasper is a man with feelings, he needs company. Even without me, he would have found another woman. I respect Reeva for sacrificing her to make a big difference. When she comes back to consummate her marriage with Jasper, I will leave of my own accord and definitely not interfere with their marriage.”
She had no right to mention divorce now.
The right to divorce was in the hands of Jasper.
When Jasper could not see Reeva, he would not agree to a divorce.
If he agreed to the divorce, he must first meet Reeva. Only after meeting Reeva would he sign the divorce.
But Spencer couldn’t agree to her terms: “I want you to leave now. If you stay with Jasper, bad gossip will spread and Reeva will be hurt by it. Reeva has already sacrificed a lot, and I don’t want to aggravate her further in terms of relationships.”
“……”
“Helena, as you said earlier, Jasper is a person with feelings. If you stay with him, it is inevitable that you will fall in love with him over time. In case he falls in love with you, do you think he will let you go? Do you think he’ll be able to consummate his marriage with Reeva?”
“……”
“You just said that there would be other women without you. I’m telling you, I won’t let any woman get close to Jasper except Reeva. As long as I’m alive, I’ll stand by Reeva.”
Helena was envious and jealous, she wanted this kind of family’s pampering. But according to Emily, even if she found her family, they wouldn’t dote on her. If they could, they would not have abandoned her in the first place.
“Helena, I want you to leave now, do you understand?”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“I’m sorry, I can’t leave now.”
“You want death?”
Helena laughed: “Before you came to me, he should have looked for Jasper. What did Jasper tell you? You must not have gotten the answer you wanted, so you keep an eye on me.”
Spencer narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint running underneath them: she was smart, but women who get in the way don’t have to be too smart.
Helena continued: “I’m not one to look for troubles, but when troubles are there, I won’t be afraid. I still say what I just said: before Reeva returns, I stay by Jasper’s side. After Reeva returns, I will leave at the first opportunity and definitely not interfere with her marriage. If you don’t believe me, I can make a written note, how about that?”
4pm.
Jasper received a message from his grandfather.
He clicked on it and saw a picture, the content of which was not clear, but he could make out the caption: warranty!
He was confused as to what it meant and was about to click on the picture to read the details, but Joey suddenly came over, “Hugo is here and is waiting in the living room. Do you want to go over now, or later?”
