The Wrong Woman

Jasper felt helpless and embarrassed at Ryan's retort. He said, "Mr. Campbell, I don't mean that. I just—"

"Mrs. Campbell will take good care of her. Candice is drunk, so why put her through the hassle of moving around? Go, go, go. Go back home and sleep." Jasper said, "Candice is engaged now. It's inappropriate for her to stay overnight at your house."

Ryan was well aware of her engagement.

The sudden news had caught them off guard, which was why they had Ryan return quickly. Otherwise, his daughter-in-law would be taken away.

"Being engaged doesn't mean she has no freedom."

"That's not what I meant, I—"

Before Jasper could finish speaking, Ryan interrupted, "Just go home. Good night."

With that, the door was shut.

Feeling disappointed, Jasper left. As he walked, he pulled out his phone to call Elio.

As the phone rang, he thought to himself, "Uncle Elio, I've done my part."

Elio's groggy voice came from the phone. "It's late, what's going on?"

"Mervyn is back," Jasper said.
