Walter had initially headed over to try and find some treasures. Since things had unfolded in such a manner, he needed to know when they could go back. After all, they had come in the same car, so they would have to follow Jared's arrangement.
“Mr. Grange, please take Josephine and Lizbeth back with you first. I'll be staying in Jadeborough for a few more days. There's something I need to do.”
Jared did not elaborate further because he did not want to worry Josephine.
The moment Josephine heard him, she requested to stay as well. “What for? I want to stay back with you too.”
“Me too. I can go sightseeing with Josephine. There are quite a number of famous historical sites here,”
Lizbeth chimed in.
“No, both of you must go back today.”
Jared turned them down without any hesitation.
Once he learned that Jadeborough was a dangerous place with many hidden forces lurking around, he dared not allow Josephine to stay there any longer. If any of the Coopers decided to hurt her, it would be too late for him to regret it.
Josephine looked at Jared with displeasure, but she did not dare to throw a tantrum.
Instead, she pouted her mouth and said, “Let me warn you first. You better not fool around if you stay in Jadeborough. If I find out about it, I won't forgive you.”
“Relax. Jadeborough may be a large city, but I won't be able to find another woman who is as beautiful, gentle, and virtuous as you,” said Jared with a smile.
His sentence made her blush. “Hmph! You sound so insincere!”
