With just three minutes left on the countdown timer next to Willow, she looked at Jasper, mentally


    preparing for the inevitable. Her sole wish was to imprint his image in her memory before dying. She


    hoped that in her next life, she could spot him in a crowd, for if they couldn’t be together in this lifetime,


    she was determined to reunite with him in the next.


    While Calvin had Jasper pinned down, it appeared Calvin had the upper hand. However, Jasper


    spotted an opportunity when Calvin let his guard down and quickly took action. With a quick move,


    Jasper elbowed the ground and wrapped his long legs around Calvin’s neck. He sat firmly on Calvin,


    reaching for the key hanging around his neck, and yanked it.


    Calvin was instantly strangled by the chain, which turned into a deadly weapon, cutting off his breath


    and turning his face purple. He desperately swung his fists, trying to dislodge Jasper from his


    shoulders. However, Jasper’s legs continued to tighten around Calvin’s neck, dragging him closer to


    the edge of death. Calvin’s face changed to a sickly shade of purple and red.


    Suddenly, blood spurted from Calvin’s neck as the chain severed his windpipe. With a fierce


    expression, he fell to his knees. Only then did Jasper step away and remove the chain hanging from


    Calvin’s neck. At this critical moment, there were just 15 seconds left on the countdown timer next to


    Willow.

    Willow had been engrossed in Jasper’s counterattack, forgetting momentarily that she stood next to the


    Grim Reaper. However, when Jasper rushed to unlock her handcuffs, she realized the danger she was


    still in.


    Just then, she saw Calvin, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly rise again. Despite his broken neck,


    he was brimming with murderous intent as he charged toward Jasper.


    “Jasper, watch out!” she shouted. Jasper quickly pushed Willow several feet away, concerned that


    Calvin might target her. Yet Calvin’s aim was not her; he was going after Jasper. Summoning hisst


    ounce of strength, Calvin pushed Jasper toward the cliff. At the same time, Jasper also realized


    Calvin’s intentions.


    “Join me in death!” Calvin spat out a mouthful of blood as his eyes burned with hatred. Jasper quickly


    turned, shoving the bomb into Calvin’s grasp, intent on escaping. However, Calvin, in a deft move,


    latched onto Jasper, tripping him up with a well-ced ankle lock. Then, Calvin dragged Jasper down


    the cliff.


    “Jasper!” Willow cried out and rushed over. Just then, Jared arrived and hugged his sister tightly.


    “Willow, you can’t go.”


    “Jasper!” Sirius shouted as they had all seen the bomb in Calvin’s hand earlier. “I’m sorry,” Jasper


    whispered, his final words. before plunging off the cliff.


    “Jasper! You can’t die.” Willow struggled to get to him, but Jared, aware of the bomb, held her back


    firmly. Boom! A deafening explosion echoed from the sea, sending water shooting 30 feet into the air,


    showcasing the bomb’s devastating power.


    As Willow heard the explosion, her mind went nk, and a dark consciousness enveloped her. In


    despair, she copsed on the ground.


    “Willow!” Jared shouted and picked up his sister. He looked at her pale, tear-stained face, his heart


    heavy and chest tight with pain. He turned to Sirius and said, “You handle things here. I’ll take my sister


    back.”


    “Go ahead, Young Master Presgrave. Leave this to me,” Sirius replied, his heart heavy, knowing


    Jasper’s chances of survival were slim. Afterward, Jared carried his sister away quickly.. They got into


    the car and instructed their bodyguard to drive to the city hospital.


    Standing at the bottom of the cliff, Sirius removed his coat and jumped into the sea. At the same time,


    the bodyguard, Ricky, shouted, “Get in the water and start the rescue!”
