Francis drove while Samantha sat in the passenger seat. She had kept her sunglasses on.
Jasper, however, sat in the back and chattered non–stop.
y heart”
“Mr. Burgess is really amazing. Even among the multitude of acclaimed painters, his works still take first place in my!
He continued. “There’s a contemporary artist who goes by Doomsday. He paints well too. He serialized a comic book called Dominion. Have you two brand of it?”
You know Doomsday Francis asked in surprise.
Jasper leaned over excitedly.
You know him too? Could you introduce me to him? I really want to get to know him,”
Francis glanced at Samantha and thought for a moment. “I just happened to see his comic by chance.
Doomsday was his trump card.
If that man really was Jasper, it would work.
As such, Francis he was fully confident that he could save Yarris,
Oh, okay Jasper sighed in disappointment.
“I like to collect paintings, but I don’t have any artistic skills or painting talents of my own. I do have a few favorite artists, though, like Mr. Burgess and Doomsday. There’s another one, my friend…
Jasper’s voice became noticeably low and he seeined to be radiating a sense of sadness.
“But she… Unfortunately, I don’t know where she is…
The atmosphere became gloomy
Sarmantha felt a sudden pain in her heart.
She desperately wanted to tell Jasper that she was still there and that he had found her.
However, now,
Dark Manor was involved
Not to mention, she had two kids in tow.
With these things to consider, Samantha could no longer act as recklessly as before.
If Dark Manor knew that she was still alive, there would be disastrous consequences.
She had to put up
up with it and keep the information to herself.
was a means of protecting Jasper and the others.
At that moment, Samantha tried to suppress her emotions.
“As long as her paintings are still there, it’s as if she’s still with you, she said.
Jasper was stunned.

He smiled as he looked at Samantha’s back.
“Even though you haven’t spoken all this while, and you’re still wearing your sunglasses, you give me an unexpectedly familiar feeling.
Samantha smiled. “Everyone says I’m very friendly”
“Oh. I see…”
Somehow, Jasper felt a little disappointed.
He couldn’t pinpoint why
However, when he remembered that he was soon going to obtain Herschel’s authentic work, his mood rose again.
Soon, they arrived at the mansion.
As soon as Yvan saw Jasper, he suddenly stood up.
It was like meeting a savior.
However, per didn’t even look at him.
He asked anxiously, “Where’s the painting? Where’s the painting
“It’s on the third floor. I’ll take you there.
Francis walked up to the third floor with Jasper while Samantha followed behind..
Upon entering the room, Jasper was greeted with the sight of the painting.
“Oh my gosh.”
He was so taken aback that he put his hands around his head.
This… This Is this really Mr. Burgess‘ work?”
Francis didn’t know why there was suddenly a painting in that room, but he continued his act. He spoke calmly.
“I wonder if this painting is an authentic work. You have a more credible eye than I do.”,
Jasper nodded and observed the painting carefully.
I know Mr. Burgess had made a painting of a spirited horse, but haven’t been able to find it for all these years. I wouldn’t have expected it to be here.”
He continued. “This is splendid! This signature is Mr. Burgess. After seeing it so many times over the years, there’s no way 1 could be wrong! He also likes to add three ebony dots on the horses‘ hooves when drawing them Very few people know about these details. This is indeed his authentic work!”
After Jasper came to his conclusion, he was very excited.
Tell
- me. how much are you willing to sell this for?”
Francis looked at him with dark eyes.
“We aren’t selling
Jasper suddenly got anxious.
Chapter 113
“Are you joking with me? I came all the way here for this painting You brought me here, but now you say you don’t want to sell it. What’s the meaning of this?”
Francis‘ deep pupils shimmered, and his voice was low.
Tin not selling it because I want to give it to you.”
Jasper was surprised but wary.
He’d always known that there was no free lunch in the world.
“Why are you giving it to me?” He asked cautiously,
I was hoping you could help me save someone.
Jasper’s pupils suddenly shrank.
However, he covered his reaction up very quickly.
In an instant, he looked surprised.
He said, “Save” I don’t know how to save anyone. I’m just a rich kid who likes paintings. I don’t know much about anything other than money. If you need someone to be saved, go to a hospital”
He covered up his reaction well, but he still couldn’t fool Francis sharp, watchful eyes.
Francis smiled gently.
He looked at Jasper as if he saw right through him.
“Don’t be modest, Ghost Doctor”
Jasper clenched his fingers tightly but pretended to be calm on the surface.
“Who’s Jasper? And who’s Ghost Doctor? I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you don’t want to sell the painting, just say so. Why do you have to embarrass me like this?”
Francis‘ voice was mellow and seemingly reassuring.
“We’re not trying to embarrass you, Dr. Fleming. But please don’t let us down, either. My buddy’s life is at stake and I need your help. If you can save him, we’ll do whatever you want us to
Tsk Jasper scoffed.
His attitude suddenly became cold.
“So what you’re saying is that if I don’t admit that I am Jasper today, you won’t let me
Tm sorry, Dr. Fleming. I have no other choice…”
“Do you think you can lock me up here?
As soon as Jasper finished speaking, he pulled out a gun and aimed it at Francis.
go, right?”
“Dr. Flerning, please don’t do anything rash. Who knows, you might find the patient quite interesting. Samantha said casually as she sat on the couch.

She was acting as if she wasn’t in a life–threatening situation.
“Tsk.”
Jasper smiled sarcastically.
“You lied to me about Mr. Burgess‘ painting. I don’t care about your patient. I won’t treat him. He can just be left to die!”
Yvan, who had been listening to their conversation outside, heard Jasper’s words and rushed to the door.
He wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Francis.
Then, he heard Samantha speak slowly.
“What if the patient was injected with a virus by someone from Dark Manor?”
Hearing Samantha’s words, Jasper was stunned.
“D–Dark Manor?”
Jasper looked at Samantha and Francis in shock.
“Who the hell are you? Why do you two have anything to do with Dark Manor?”
Samantha smiled. “We’re two ordinary rich kids. Just like you.”
