Chapter 389: Young Lady, Is That You?
Jasper suddenly grabbed Lily by the neck, pulling her harshly in front of him, his eyes filled with intense coldness.
"If you can't do it, then you can die."
Lily was so frightened that her eyes turned red and tears instantly flowed out. She knew Jasper would really kill
her.
Jasper pushed Lily away with disdain and took out a tissue to wipe his hands. "You have a listening device
implanted by Wraith. From tomorrow, reswork in the laboratory and use the TIC Institute to research the
virus. No mistakes are allowed."
Lily nodded, "Yes, | understand."
Jasper cast a cold glance at Lily, finding her as annoying as her mother. He then put on his mask and left. He still
had to find Callum Maguire and Snow Judd. These two had betrayed the organization and could not be forgiven!
In the restaurant, Tina took a big bite of steak while looking at the message on her phone. "Serena, Garrett is
fine, but the Reed family business is a bit chaotic. However, with Muff overseeing it, things are stable. Recently,
Garrett has been auditing the company's accounts."
Tina replied while chewing her steak, "Garrett should check on Griffin whenever he has tto ensure their
family's safety."
Cole quickly responded, "Yes, I'll go now."
Tina was focused on replying and didn't notice Jared's longing gaze from across the table. It wasn't until she was
about to eat another dish that she noticed Jared staring at her. "Uncle, do I look delicious?"
A dark glint flashed in Jared's eyes as he looked at Tina with his black pupils. "Yes, you look delicious."
"Then eat more; you still have a match this afternoon." Tina took another bite of salad.
Jared raised an eyebrow, "You figured it out?"
Tina lifted her gaze slightly, "Snake Club lost their chance at the team championship three years ago but then
won six consecutive championships just a month later at the Expo. They couldn't have done it with just a few
players."
As Hawk's gold medal coach, Tina had thoroughly studied all about their old rival Snake Club. Compared to
Hawk, Snake had more fresh blood, but in terms of skill, Hawk was superior. During Edward Sullivan's peak
period, they could easily defeat many professional players worldwide. However, now that their hand speed had

gradually declined. Snake Club had Orson's financial backing and main player support. They were willing to
spend money and nurture talent. Three years ago, a mysterious coach joined them and instantly propelled them
past Hawk to becthe top club in the country.
Initially curious about this mysterious coach's identity, Tina had sent Cole to investigate but found nothing
conclusive. But seeing Jared here today cleared up all mysteries.
Tina never expected to one day face off against this uncle.
Jared no longer hid anything and swapped his cut steak onto Tina's plate before raising his glass of juice for a
toast. "Then please take care ofmore in the future."
Tina licked sleftover salad dressing from her lips; her clear eyes revealed a hint of mischief as she lightly
clinked glasses with him. "Uncle, we at Hawk won't show any mercy."
On the first day of the preliminary rounds, the first batch of teams entering the group stage was announced.
Both Hawk and Snake advanced but were not placed in the sgroup.
Orson looked at the grouping information and sneered at Edward Sullivan across from him. "Go back and tell
your team's Lysander we'll see each other in the finals-if you can even make it there."
Edward Sullivan put away the grouping information with a faint smile. "Captain Farrell can tell him yourself;
didn't you just carry our team member back to the resting room? Aren't you two getting along well?" After
speaking, Edward Sullivan turned gracefully and left the drawing room.
All participating teams present knew about Orson and Lysander's discord. Now it seemed Orson had become
Lysander's little follower-otherwise why would he personally carry Lysander back?
Everyone knew what kind of temper Orson had!
"You!" Orson was so angry he almost spat blood. It was out of necessity! Even if he had to suffer humiliation
himself, he couldn't let his brother dirty his hands!
Orson gritted his teeth hard. "Don't letmeet you in competition; otherwise I'll make sure your whole team
gets eliminated!"
The next day's preliminary matches were easy for both Hawk and Snake. After arranging training tasks for their
respective teams, Tina and Jared went to the hospital together.
Although there wasn't much for Jared to do at the hospital, he felt compelled to go-to prevent certain people
from randomly handing out business cards again.
However, Jared worried too much; Jack was busy placating his own father.
"Dad, | know | was wrong."
"Knowing you're wrong doesn't help! Can your mistakes lessen my granddaughters’ suffering? You're good for
nothing but trouble! If your elder brother hadn't let it slip accidentally, | wouldn't even know my precious
granddaughters were in danger! Have you grown wings now? Daring to hide things from me!"

lan Brookes scolded while tapping his cane angrily; his eyes were slightly red from anger.
Jack didn't dare breathe heavily under his father's scolding and could only wait silently for more reprimands.
"Anyone who doesn't know better might think our family is cursed-losing only precious ones while useless brats
like you remain! It's infuriating!"
Seeing his two granddaughters suffer reminded lan Brookes painfully of his Alina.
What if...
He didn't dare continue that thought.
His Alina...
Jack knew his father was thinking about his sister again.
He knelt before lan Brookes.
"Dad please don't be angry anymore; hitor scoldas much as you want-or beatuntil your belt breaks
if that'll make you feel better! I'll prepare a hundred belts for you-beatuntil you're satisfied!" lan Brookes
snorted; no matter how angry he got he wouldn't really beat his son.
Both palm and back of hand are flesh after all.
"Get lost! Beating you won't help anything-just take good care of Scarlett; she's probably terrified now-your wife
is yours to love-don't worry about me."
Jack chuckled softly.
"Yes Dad-I will follow your advice."

As they spoke Tina arrived with Jared.
"Mr Brookes," Tina greeted.
She looked up-and paused.
Wasn't this gentleman who wanted to buy paintings that day?
lan Brookes' eyes lit up seeing Tina.
"Young lady-is that you?"
"Yes-it's nice seeing you again sir."
For sreason Tina felt slightly excited inside..
Though she'd only met this gentleman once before-why did an unexpected reunion stir such feelings?
lan Brookes stood up thanking Tina.
"Young lady-the children you saved-they're my granddaughters Nian Nian & Yi Yi-they survived thanks entirely to
you-thank you."
Tina stopped lan Brookes from bowing further.
"No need for thanks Mr Brookes-you already compensated me."
Jack helped lan Brookes sit down again.
"Dad let Dr Reed check on them first-we can catch up later-you rest now."
"Thank you young lady," lan Brookes said deeply gazing fondly at Tina increasingly liking what he saw.
Normally anyone staring like this would've had their eyeballs gouged out by now-but today Tina only felt warmth
instead.
She sensed genuine affection in lan Brookes' eyes filled with kindness towards her.
