Chapter 1077
Gregory lay on the hospital bed, with bandages covering his head and body. He had just come out of the emergency room, so he looked very weak. Imogen and Jasper rushed to the hospital. Seeing the injured Gregory, they were both shocked and horrified.
Gregory was a disabled man and to be beaten like this was beyond unjust.
With tears in her eyes, Imogen angrily demanded, “Dad, who did this to you?”
Gregory shook his head and slowly looked at Jasper.
Jasper’s expression was serious as he comforted him, “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll handle this. Just take care of yourself.”
Carol’s eyes were red from crying. She said in a low and hoarse voice, “Imogen, it was a group of thugs. They attacked your dad out of nowhere. Did you offend someone?”
Imogen looked at Carol in confusion. She asked, “Mom, why do you think it’s because of me?”
Carol sniffled and choked up, “B-Because they kept shouting that your dad didn’t know how to raise his daughter.”
Imogen was stunned. She turned to look at Jasper.
Meeting her gaze, Jasper asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Imogen quickly averted her eyes and asked Carol, “Mom, did you call the police?”
“Yes, we did.”
Jasper said, “If someone was paid to do this, they probably don’t know who hired them. It’s going to be hard to investigate.” Imogen remained silent.
They stayed with Gregory in the hospital for a while. Once he fell asleep, they left the hospital.
On the way home, Imogen was deep in thought.
In the back seat of the car, Jasper held Imogen’s hand tightly. When he noticed something wasn’t right with Imogen, he asked nervously, “Do you know something?”
Imogen didn’t respond to his question. After a moment of silence, she turned to look at Jasper.
Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Jasper asked gently, “Is there something you want to tell me?”
Imogen gathered her courage to ask. “What’s your relationship with Yulia?”
Jasper was taken aback. He replied, “Just a normal superior-subordinate relationship. Why do you ask?”
“I’ve never seen a subordinate call her superior so frequently,” Imogen said.
Jasper gave a genuine smile as he was a bit surprised. He asked, “Are you jealous?”
Imogen felt a faint discomfort in her heart. Her attitude became firmer and had an impulse to just go for it. She said each word deliberately, “Yes, I’m jealous. I’m very unhappy.”
Jasper didn’t say a word. He took out his phone and added Yulia to the blacklist right in front of Imogen.
As he showed her the screen, he smiled. If an insignificant woman could make Imogen feel jealous, he thought it was worth it.
“I met with her yesterday,” Imogen said with a low voice as she lowered her head.
Jasper was stunned. He asked, “Why did you meet her? What happened?”
As Imogen fidgeted with her fingers, she murmured in a deep tone, “She asked me to meet.”
“I know she did, but why?”
Imogen replied, “She likes you.”
Jasper was speechless.
After taking a deep breath, Imogen continued, “We argued, and she threw a glass of water at me so I retaliated.”
Jasper’s face turned pale as his anger grew.
“My parents have both been hurt. Also, our old house in the city was damaged under the pretense of a minor illegal construction issue,” Imogen said, her voice filled with frustration and anger.
“I’m sure it’s related to her. After all, the Gibson family isn’t a normal wealthy family.”

Imogen felt unhappy as she remained silent.
