Chapter 410: The Bomb Was Placed by Jasper

He didn't know exactly what the organization did, but Jasper's position as second in command proved his high status. Ever since Tina began to settle scores with the Reed family, he knew that Jasper's deeds would one day come to light. He hadn't interacted much with Tina. Though their bond wasn't deeply familial, he could tell that her outward demeanor didn't reflect her true self. Her involvement with the Reed family was partly due to Natalie's death and possibly due to the organization behind Jasper.

Thus, he revoked Jasper's position as head of the family, hoping to divert Tina and Jared's attention while secretly aiding Jasper. All this was merely his way of making amends. Jasper's smile froze on his face, perhaps distorted by the side lighting, making his otherwise gentle features appear fierce and terrifying. "Compensate? Ha, you're talking to me about compensation?" Jasper glared intensely at Muff's retreating figure, a hint of hatred flickering in the depths of his eyes. "You don't know what I've been through; you don't deserve to speak of forgiveness!"

Jasper would forever remember the poison injected into his body, the lashes that scarred his flesh, the repeated oppression of his personality. He would never forget. The pain was so chilling that even now, it made him shiver. Tina, observing Jasper's expression, could imagine what he had endured. Some chose to perish or be reborn in the abyss, but others, like Jasper, only continued to drag more innocents into the depths. His experiences would inflict similar pain on others, satisfying him and affirming his existence.

Muff, leaning on the back of the sofa, slowly stood and approached Jasper. "Your hatred is not blamed, whether you're my biological son or not. I owe you, and if you wish to kill me, then do so." "Grandfather!" Griffin stepped in front of Muff, "Jasper, if you must kill, kill me, but don't harm Grandfather, please!"

Jasper harshly pushed Damian aside and embraced Muff. Looking over his shoulder deeply at Tina, he said, "Tina, the new type of bomb in Jared's car was set by me, and I crafted it myself. I knew you came today for my life, so here it is." Suddenly, he held a bomb remote, his thumb pressing hard on the red button. "No!" Esther screamed, and inside Whispering Pines, all went silent. The expected explosion did not occur.

Jasper pressed the button repeatedly, but still, no explosion ensued. Tina laughed out loud, her laughter cutting through the quiet, sounding unusually crisp. "Surprised?" Tina looked at Jasper with a faint smile. Jasper stared at her in shock. "How could this be? What did you do?" Tina's smile deepened. "I overestimated your intelligence. You hid the bomb in Muff's cane, such a low intelligence move. How could Mr. White ever choose you as his stand-in?" Jasper looked at her as if seeing a monster. "How did you know?" He had considered all the ways Tina could possibly discover it. He had avoided such risks, yet she had still found out. "Your bomb wasn't strong enough to cause a significant explosion; it would have only killed you two," Tina said as she walked forward and picked up Muff's cane.

She glanced indifferently at Jasper and said leisurely, "Your mistake was using a remote-controlled device. If it had required manual detonation like before, I wouldn't have been able to alter the controller's program." Jasper finally understood. Tina had discovered the new bomb long ago!

He had lost.

Suddenly, Jasper pushed Muff aside, drew a knife from his waist, and charged at Tina.

Hayden was faster, darting forward to subdue him.

"Thought you could ambush Serena?" Hayden held Jasper, realizing Tina hadn't moved an inch.

Not only that, Jared also sat upright.
