Chapter: 92
His eyebrows raised in confusion, he asked, “No, why? What’s wrong?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Ariana shook her head, feeling puzzled.
Jasper surely would have caused some trouble if he had bumped into Theodore. But it seemed nothing had happened. Had Jasper left?
She looked to the quiet corridor behind Theodore, and to the restroom at the end of it. There was no other way out. How had Jasper just disappeared?
The main thing was that Theodore was okay, so Ariana didn’t overthink it. She returned to the private room to collect her things, before leaving with Theodore.
It was eight pm and the restaurant was overcrowded.
Ariana pushed Theodore past the front hall and caught sight of Brielle having a dispute with the restaurant manager. “Miss, you can’t leave without paying the bill.”
“| told you to put it on my tab. Don’t you understand?”
Brielle wore a mask and hat, so only her eyes were visible. She looked around cautiously for fear of being photographed during the argument.
“I'm sorry. Mr. Jasper Anderson needs to be here in order to put something on his tab. Otherwise, you have to pay now.” The manager held the bill in his hand, and looked troubled.
Brielle cursed angrily and took out her phone to call Jasper. No answer. “Damn it! Where is he?” Now Brielle was becoming truly furious. She called Jasper over and over again but he still didn’t answer.
Ariana noticed herself stop subconsciously. She had a strange feeling. Although Jasper could be a little cowardly, his reputation was important to him. He would never walk out without paying a bill. Had he and Brielle had an argument.
“Let's go,” Theodore urged, interrupting her thoughts.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay.” Ariana shook herself and resumed pushing the wheelchair forward.
The car was waiting for them by the door. Horace stepped out to help Theodore. As Ariana went to the other side of the car, she spotted a group of people chatting by the entrance of an alley.
“How awful! Who was the unlucky guy who got robbed?”
“He'll die stripped naked like that in this cold. Does anyone have any clothes to put on him?”
“We should call the police first.”
Her curiosity piqued, Ariana walked over to the crowd. The man lying on the ground was Jasper.
Her jaw dropped, and she brought her hand to her mouth in shock, He had been stripped off his clothes, leaving only his socks and underwear.. His face was covered in bruises, and there was a puddle of vomit beside him. It wasn’t clear whether someone had knocked him unconscious or if he was simply too drunk.
For a second, Ariana felt pleasure at seeing Jasper in this sorry state. Then that same strange feeling came over her. It all seemed a little too coincidental.
