Other team members immediately gathered. around as some of them picked up binoculars and looked at the dorsal fins on the water before they exclaimed in panic, “What’s going on?! Why are there sharks here?”
“What should we do? We can’t dive if there’s a risk of shark attacks. It would be disastrous.” Although they were hired for the job, their lives were always their top priority.
“Hurry! Contact Jett and report the situation here.” After Jett received the call and a few photos soon after, he immediately cursed in frustration, “Sh*t.”
“Boss, we can’t dive today. We can’t take the risk now that there are sharks lurking in the area.” Jett had no choice but to give up upon hearing those words. So, he ordered them to return and wait until the sharks were gone before deciding on a new diving date.
Willow also soon received a report from the bodyguards that Jett’s crew had returned. “Why did they turn around?” Willow asked in surprise.
“We are not sure what is going on, but none of them have gone underwater. Even their equipment was unloaded from the ship.”
Regardless of the reason, Willow couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just then, she heard someone outside greeting Jasper. So, she rushed out in excitement and threw herself into his arms. “Good news! Jett’s men didn’t dive.”
Jasper gently pushed her away from his embrace. “I know.” She blinked, a bit puzzled that he had been absent all night. To make matters even stranger, he was even rejecting her physical affections.
“Why won’t you let me hug you?” Willow murmured, feeling wronged. “It’s not that. I smell of blood; I need to take a shower first.”
She hurriedly inquired, “Where were you last night?” “I attracted some sharks nearby. That’s why Jett’s men turned back.” He didn’t see the point in hiding anything from her.
“Oho!” Willow was astonished. Even Winston was shocked. It turned out there truly was nothing Jasper couldn’t do in this world. He actually managed to do something like this!
Nonetheless, Willow still rushed into his arms. and hugged his waist. “I don’t mind if you’re dirty. You’re not allowed to push me away.” Jasper smiled helplessly. “Alright, alright.”
Winston, who accidentally witnessed their intimate moment, quickly fled the scene. Jasper returned to where Willow was after taking a nice refreshing shower. On the other hand, Willow had prepared breakfast for him. Then, they spent a romantic time together as they sat in the cabin’s lounge, enjoying the sea view.
She propped her chin and looked at him with her big eyes that possessed the mysterious ability to say everything she was thinking, making him a bit embarrassed.
‘Don’t stare at me,” he complained affectionately in a gentle tone. She blinked. “But… I like looking at you. Is that a crime, Mr. Wyatt?”
This statement carried a hint of flirtation, paired with Willow’s smug smile… Well, it left the man. somewhat speechless..
“It’s your fault for having a face so handsome. In fact, it should be a crime to look this good. Don’t blame me for looking at you!” Willow teasingly pushed the responsibility back to him.
The man couldn’t help but choke slightly at her brazen words, his handsome face and ears turning pink. It seemed that he was still weak to teasing.
“Alright, enjoy your breakfast. I’ll go back to my room to rest for a bit. I didn’t sleep well last night when you were away.” Willow didn’t disturb him any longer.
“Okay!” Jasper nodded. She felt relieved after learning about what happened with Jett’s team. They had decided not to dive and were now changing their focus to search for clues in the mountains.
Since Jett and his team didn’t dare to take their chances underwater, she could delay their actions until her salvage team arrived. Moreover, in order to preserve the artifacts, a team of national archaeologists, along with 20 bodyguards from the Presgrave Family were sent.
They were all working together to safeguard her cause. Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.. As Jett stood on his ship with a pair of binoculars in his hands to watch Willow’s team, he was suddenly filled with worry. Why aren’t her people doing anything? Did she already discover something?
Lately, he had also been filled with anxiety as this expedition had cost him a considerable amount of money. He feared he would go bankrupt if they returned empty-handed. His fortune relied on the valuable artifacts which were supposed to be a surefire source of wealth.
