Everyone out!
Elise remained there staring towards the building Jasper had disappeared into.“Hey, aren’t you the lady who shot someone in the video circulating around?” This question pulled her out of her thoughts.With wide eyes, she looked at a woman who was pulling out her phone from her handbag. Elise quickly stood to her feet.“Hey, aren’t you Elise Valmont?!” her voice louder now. She could see Elise clearly as she stepped closer. Elise didn’t waste any more time; she wrapped her face with the scarf again. Her eyes were wide as she looked left and right to see if anyone aside from the woman was watching. She could see that the woman’s loud voice was drawing attention to them.Before the woman could come any closer, Elise rushed into her car, which had a tilted glass.She sighed. She wiped her tears.This was not good. Jasper has not only ruined her image but also her entire life. How does she clear her name now?She didn’t believe that Jasper would even think to record the video she had sho
Sole Advisor
Jasper watched as the elders went radio silent as they got out of their seats, walking towards the door according to his command.Elder Vittorio sat back down, staring at the shameful exit of the rest of the elders. Jasper had instructed him to sit back down. He was the only reasonable elder according to Jasper.Jasper sat down and waited patiently till the last elder walked out of the council room and then he turned to Elder Vittorio with a sigh. “I believe you understand what I'm trying to do.”Elder Vittorio raised a brow as different guesses filled his mind but he chose to deny that he understood anything.“I’m adjusting the system. I need to change the way things have always been.” Jasper started with, locking gaze with Elder Vittorio who needed more clarity. “I am dissolving the council chamber. There will be no more group of elders to give me any piece of advice.”Elder Vittorio hummed. He was surprised to hear that, but he was not shocked. None of the corrupt elders truly dese
A Bet
Cheerful laughter and giggles were heard from the inner rooms as Zoey, Jasper's sister, was having a fun time with Jasmine and Sophia.It started from Zoey's complaint about boredom, moved to the girls making up stories in their heads and telling them to one another to ease the boredom.It was Sophia's turn to tell a story when Zoey changed the system. She wanted something different from what they'd been doing for a few hours now. It continued to be fun, but they needed something to spike the excitement.“Truth or Dare?” Zoey suggested. Even though Jasmine preferred to play the game only if there were many people around, she eventually agreed. They sat around a stool on which a bottle of beer and a small mug were placed.They had hardly started the game when they heard footsteps thudding towards them. Zoey was the first to catch that. She could describe exactly who was walking towards them now. Who else but her brother?Jasper exhaled a sharp breath as he walked towards the girls who
Weird house arrest
Another news spread like wildfire. Elise was missing. No one knew where she went, not even her family.The Valmont family claimed they had nothing to do with all the videos or illegal stuff that were now known to the public.They claimed it was all Elise and that was why she had suddenly disappeared.Her brothers said it was entirely her fault. She was the one who killed someone in the video, and she should be held accountable for her own actions.The story they gave was a fantastic one, throwing Elise right under the bus. Elder Valmont didn’t spare Elise either. He said he couldn’t believe that his own daughter would do such a despicable thing. He made Elise the scapegoat, dropping all the crimes on her.Everyone knew about Elise. Her name was whispered in hushed tones; in every news, everywhere you entered, there was always that mention of a certain Elise Valmont, a murderer, a thief, and many more.No one knew where she was. Even Jasper couldn’t pinpoint where Elise must have e
Daniel Palmer
Jasper’s phone rang.It was Jackson on the line. “Jackson.”“Yes, sir, I just got news that the Inspector General of police answers to Elder Valmont.”Jasper raised a brow. Now, it made sense. “Interesting,” Jasper smirked. “Tell me more.”Jackson continued, “So, I ran a background check on him. His name is Julius Drake. After I found out that he had asked for just a house arrest for the Valmont.”“And what did you find?”“Basically, 10 years ago, Julius Drake had no job. He roamed the streets like a beggar, looking for ways to feed. He worked on farms, and on one of such work trips, he met Elder Valmont.”Jasper nodded his head. Of course.He rose with the help of the Valmont, so he is indebted to the old man.“He sustained a snake bite while working. He cried for help, and luckily, Elder Valmont was around. He ran to where Julius lay. He almost died before the old man’s eyes. It was Valmont that took him to the hospital, paid his medical bills, and also nursed him back to good hea
Inspector General
Imagine a family so clean that a whole society could vouch for them with their lives and then at the end of the day, the whole society realized they'd been tricked all along.They were actually externally clean but internally, they had to be the dirtiest family ever to exist. As Jasper, together with Jasmine, Zoey and Sophia and Old Palmer's son, Daniel, ate together, Jasper noticed how Daniel didn't pay attention to the food he was eating.He seemed to be scrolling through his gallery like he was searching for a particular picture or video. Jasper didn't say a word. He had too many things to say, which could actually be said after the meal.As soon as Daniel found the video and gave a quiet nod, Jasper knew everything was about to blow up again. Sleeping tonight could be even much better now that secrets were being exposed. Finding out more secrets of the Valmont family was the best weapon he could use to fight them and the smile on Daniel's face already hinted at the success of that
The court case
Multiple news outlets confirmed the crimes perpetrated by the Valmont family both in Europe and in other continents, sending waves of shock to everyone who once believed in their innocence.Sophia knew much better than to check the live news from television channels or through the Internet, which had been on fire for the past few days. The names of those who had been silenced due to the fact that they learned about the loopholes of the family were also released, and amongst them was Detective Diamond.She knew no other family could have done that to him. Though she was pretty glad the truth was finally finding its way out, she still couldn't hold back the trauma of hearing that he had died.The Inspector General of Police, after dropping his badge to the authorities who now had evidence of his corrupt activity and connection with Elder Valmont, sat down on his cushion chair in his living room, deeply worried about what his future now entailed. While he was still at work, he helped in
Love from the Beginning
Sophia exhaled a deep breath as she dropped her phone next to her on the bed. She wanted to know how well the news of the Valmont family's corruption had spread, but at the same time, she didn’t want to be traumatized by the news of Detective Diamond’s death. Her curiosity won in the end as she picked up her phone and scrolled through a government-approved news outlet to confirm the news.She hadn’t yet read the exact paragraph that spoke about the deaths of those who knew about the corruption of the Valmont family when she heard a knock on the door.“Come in,” she said, dropping her phone as soon as she spotted Zoey and Jasmine standing by the doorway and staring at her face.She raised a questioning brow, but they didn’t say anything until she spoke up. “Did I do something wrong?”It seemed like they had come to interrogate her over something she might have done wrong, but Zoey knew that wasn’t the case. She was only trying to exercise her teasing ability on Sophia, just as she did
Elise's location
{Reward: Westbridge access requires intelligence, connections, and advantage. Prepare: someone from your past approaches} The system suddenly caught Jasper’s attention.His brow furrowed as questions filled his mind. What sort of mission was the system sending him on when the current mission was still unfinished?Someone from his past was approaching? Who was it? He wasn't done with the Valmont family and even the Darlington family. Elise was still on the run. The authorities hadn’t been able to get a hold of her, and neither had he. The system could have recommended strategies to find Elise instead, he thought, silently complaining.“Elise hasn’t been found. You should give me some tips on how to reach her and hand her over to those in charge,” Jasper said, but the system stayed silent.Jamie and Frank were also out there, probably enjoying the best moment of their lives in a hidden place. How could he let all of this slide and cling to a mission about someone from the past?“I ha
