Chapter 75 He Was Just Indifferent Towards Her.
Molly suddenly looked up and met Jasper's emotionless eyes.
She felt a bit flustered, "What... do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything." The man's voice was deep and cold, "Just remember, I am your brother-in-law and Lauren's father."
After saying that, he let go of Molly’s hand and glanced coldly at Adeline behind him, "Continue."
Adeline bit her lip and continued, "I thought the Ferris wheel incident was over, but recently, when I took Miss Lauren to my rental house, another accident occurred."
"Miss Lauren and I were trapped in the room and someone set it on fire. If it wasn't for Mr. Foster arriving in time to rescue us, both Lauren and I wouldn't be standing here."
After hearing this, Derek frowned and glanced at Jasper. "Is that true?"
Jasper remained silent.
He then turned to Grandma Foster and asked, "Mom, do you know?"
Grandma Foster hesitated, "I... I know about the fire. But..."
She didn't know that Molly was the one behind the fire!
Though she was old, she still had a sense of right and wrong!
If she knew Molly had orchestrated the fire, she would never let her go, let alone hand over her belongings!
Derek sneered, "Seems like you all know."
The middle-aged man strode towards Grandma Foster and snatched Lauren into his arms. "One is Lauren's father, the other is Lauren's great-grandmother."
"After Lauren nearly died in the fire, you not only failed to act against the culprit, but you even invited her as an honored guest to the Foster family's birthday banquet."
"Is this what you both have done?" He then glanced at Adeline, saying, "You two are worse than servants!"
How could Grandma Foster bear such an accusation?
Anxiously, she tried to defend herself, "I didn't know, how could I possibly know?"
"All I knew was that she was Jasper's fiancée, Lauren's aunt. How could I have thought she would harm Lauren?"
"And..." Grandma Foster's voice carried a heavy nasal tone, "The investigation of the fire was carried out by Jasper. If anyone knows the truth, it's Molly, but he never said a word. How could I, an old lady, have known?"
Derek narrowed his eyes and coldly glanced at Jasper. "Jasper, tell me, what's going on?"
Amidst the chaos in the venue, in a private room on the second floor, Bennett sipped his tea and watched everything unfolding downstairs. "It's time to put to use everything I prepared."
He had already given Jasper all the evidence of Molly framing Lauren.
Now, Jasper held all the incriminating evidence against Molly.
As long as he produced it now, Molly's future would be utterly ruined.
Thinking this, the young boy chuckled.
"But, boss..."
Tim furrowed his brows beside him, "Why does it seem like Mr. Foster doesn't want to bring out that evidence?"
If he was willing to use it, why let his mother say so much?
Wouldn't it solve everything if they just presented the evidence themselves?
Bennett furrowed his brows and his voice grew low, "You're mistaken."
After all, this despicable man was his and Lauren's biological father.
This
In this moment, Jasper witnessed Lauren's care and affection in his heart. How could he let Molly, who almost killed Lauren multiple times, go unpunished? And... Jasper bit his lip. If he, as a scumbag, didn't bring Molly down this time... That would prove that he didn't love Mommy or Lauren at all!
His eyes only saw himself and Molly! Thinking of this, his heart rose to his throat. Jasper, don't disappoint me! Finally, Jasper slowly lifted his head, his gaze calm. "I have heard some rumors," he said. "But there is no concrete evidence linking Molly to this incident."
"Bang!" Upstairs in the private room, Bennett dropped his teacup to the ground. On the stage downstairs, Adeline also stepped back, full of disbelief. How could this be... Jasper was not an incompetent person. If Bennett could find information, then he would too.
How could he... Did he really care about Molly so much? This result not only dumbfounded Adeline but also left Molly stunned, finally understanding Jasper's attitude! She quickly lifted her head and looked down on Adeline triumphantly.
"Did you hear that?" she said. "No concrete evidence! If you continue spreading rumors, I will report you to the police!" Watching Molly's arrogant behavior, Adeline's heart turned cold. So... in the end, Jasper was still protecting Molly, huh? Even if she harmed Lauren, it wouldn't matter to him?
Adeline bit her lip tightly, her heart aching, feeling as though it was being squeezed. She raised her gaze, her eyes crimson, staring at Jasper. "Why?" Why, at this moment, was he still protecting Molly? Why, knowing all the facts, was he unwilling to seek justice for his own daughter? Jasper gave her a cold glance, a smirk curling at the corner of his lips.
He walked over, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear; his voice low. "Do you have the right to know? I think I have no reason to explain to a thief who stole confidential information from my company." Adeline was stunned, not knowing what he meant. "Who are you calling a thief?" she asked. "Isn't it obvious?"
The man sneered, "You, who became my daughter's servant without conditions, and when you left, you were chatting and laughing with my archenemy, Brandon. Aren't you someone he sent from the beginning?" Adeline felt her brain explode instantaneously. So, this was how he saw her. He couldn't see her unconditional devotion to Lauren all this time. All he saw was her and...
After exchanging pleasantries, Brandon sat down next to each other.
A touch of icy smile appeared on his lips.
Adeline laughed, a laugh filled with despair and resignation.
She was wrong.
She shouldn't have had any illusions about this man.
The lesson from six years ago was already deep enough.
She shouldn't have thought that his feelings for her daughter would surpass Molly's.
Yes, six years ago, he could have killed her for Molly.
But six years later, how could he blame her because Molly wanted to kill her daughter?
She always thought Jasper was heartless, but in fact, he was only heartless towards her.
Wasn't he devoted to Molly?
Taking a deep breath, she lifted her head and walked past Jasper.
She went to the side where the emcee had already frozen, picked up the microphone, and spoke with a cold and firm tone, "Since Mr. Foster is incapable and unable to find evidence of this woman seeking to harm his own daughter, then I, as a servant, will have to handle it."
After finishing her words, she looked up, her gaze fixed on the direction of the private box upstairs, "Bennett."
