Xavier came back to his senses, and they ordered a glass of whiskey each after sitting at the bar.
“I happened to run into my classmates when I got here. Willow is also one of them,” Xavier explained.
Jasper took a sip of his drink and didn't say anything.
Xavier continued, “Uncle Jaz, you know Willow?”
“She's a former employee of Hughes Corporation.” Jasper's voice was low.
Xavier remembered Willow stated that she worked as a secretary for Hughes Corporation's CEO for one day.
Which meant that she had worked for Jasper. No wonder they knew each other.
Xavier's worries were completely put to rest.
He thought that Willow had something going on with Jasper, but it turned out to be a superior-subordinate relationship.
Since the knot in his heart was gone, he started to confide in Jasper.
“Uncle Jaz, Willow is the woman that I always tell you about. She's my ex-girlfriend,” Xavier said suddenly.
Jasper paused slightly and gripped the glass in his hand.
Xavier didn't notice his strangeness and continued, “Back then, I was tricked into betraying her, but that wasn’t my will. The only person I love is her. I know that she also loves me in her heart, otherwise, she wouldn't have played hard to get…”
He didn’t realize that there was turmoil in Jasper’s eyes.

Willow and Rachel left the bar anxiously.
Rachel wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead and said, “What a day! We ran into Xavier and also Jasper. We also got to know that they’re related!”
