Chapter 228 The Progress Of The Case (1/2)

”Mr. Jasper, why are you here?”

”I heard that you had an accident so I came to check what's going on. Do you want to have some water?”

Her throat was dry. ”Yes, thank you, Mr. Jasper.”

After Jasper filled her glass with warm water, he put a straw in it and handed it to Ashley. It was the first time that Jasper had served Ashley like this. Looking at the cup and straw in front of her, she felt a little awkward.

Jasper confused, ”What's wrong?”

”I feel a little weird.” With a shy smile, Ashley said, ”Mr. Jasper, I don't think it's appropriate for you to serve the others with your current status.”

Out of Jasper's expectation, she was still thinking about it, so he held the straw and pressed it into her mouth with a smile. ”Haven't I served you very often? I served you with a fan, helped you put on your clothes and carried you on my back. But now, I help you with some water, and you feel embarrassed.”

Ashley was stabbed by the man's a bit rude press. Her mouth hurt a little. She bit the straw and said, ”Mr. Jasper, be careful. I'm still a patient.”

”Drink it now. I'm so tired that I bent down to serve you.”

Hearing this, Ashley stopped talking. She drank half glass of warm water obediently and spit out a straw when she got full. ”Well, thank you, Mr. Jasper.”

Putting down the cup on the bedside table, he said, ”I had the horse examined. Someone had drugged it in advance. It would go berserk at certain time.”

”Someone did it on purpose!” Ashley was stunned.

”Well, according to the present situation. The horse in the crew was borrowed from the race ground. Too many people were involved. It needs to take a long time to find out the perpetrator.”

Who would want to frame her? Since Alice had been in jail, there was no way that she would do this to her Then the only person who hated her would be Gloria and Sheila. They did have the motive to commit the crime, but they should not have such a power to get her into trouble by roundabout ways.

Noticing that the woman kept silent, Jasper roughly knew what she was thinking about. ”Perhaps your stepmother and step-sister took revenge on you, or perhaps it's your competitor. You don't have to worry about this. Shawn will handle it. It's not a difficult task, but a bit troublesome. Be patient and we'll see.”

”I just think I'm heavily resented by others.” Ashley mocked herself, ”I have experienced all sorts of dirty tricks except being killed.”
