บท 608: Your duty is to serve me.

Jasper finally extricated himself from the mansion and stepped outside into the cool evening air. He let out a sigh of relief as he walked towards his car, grateful to be away from the oppressive atmosphere inside.

However, his respite was short-lived. As he got into his car and started the engine, he realized that he still had to find Ella. He quickly dialed Michael's number, hoping he had some updates about Ella.

"Where is Ella?" he asked when the call connected. "Did you find her?"

"Yes, but…" Michael's serious tone made him agitated.

"What is the matter?" Jasper asked, panic rising in his mind.

"Paul has found her before me," Michael revealed. "He has taken her to his place."

Jasper clasped the steering wheel as he listened to Michael's words. His face was twisted in frustration and worry. "Why did she run away?" he muttered. "I told her not to leave the house. But she ignored my words. Now she is in trouble."
