Chapter 399: Still Considered Her Family

Tina remained calm. If Jasper lacked even this bit of skill, her mother wouldn't have stayed undercover by his side for three years. However, the lead through Jasper was now a dead end. They had hoped to use Jasper to uncover the real Mr. Kim.

"Tina, let's go back," Jared said, pulling Tina's hand and bringing her back to reality.

He hadn't expected Jasper to shoot so suddenly. They had wanted to get Mr. Kim's whereabouts from Jasper, which was why the X Bureau surrounded him without immediately issuing a capture order. This gave Jasper an opportunity. Although it seemed like Jasper aimed at Tina, he actually fired a blank. Given the distance and angle, even if Tina was on guard, she couldn't have avoided injury unless there were no bullets in the gun.

In the car, Jasper's subordinates relayed information. The car was found, but Jasper was missing. A shoe and a lot of blood were left behind, with broken windows and some skin tissue. If he lost too much blood, he might have sunk to the bottom.

"Keep searching," Jared ordered sternly.

Tina had anticipated this outcome and immediately issued the Shadow Lotus Seal to pursue Jasper. "Uncle, take me home," Tina leaned on Jared's shoulder, her eyes filled with fatigue. "I'm a bit tired." Jared covered Tina with his coat. "Alright."

Tina closed her eyes, recalling the moment when Jasper pointed the gun at her. She didn't understand why he didn't shoot but didn't want to dwell on it either. Regardless of his hesitation, it didn't change his initial intent to kill her mother. Jared dropped Tina off at the Reed family home and left.

As Tina headed to her room, she turned and saw Juliet, pausing in surprise. She had heard Juliet recently resumed work and should be busy; how did she find time for a break?

Juliet heard the door open and looked pleased but hesitated upon seeing Tina.

"Tina, you're back," Juliet said awkwardly.

There was an unavoidable distance between them now.

Tina nodded. "Yes, why are you back?"
