Chapter 1078
Upon arriving home, Imogen followed Jasper out of the car.
Standing at the door, Jasper took out his phone and called one of his subordinates.
"Draft a termination agreement for Yulia. End all business collaborations and employment with her immediately."
Hearing this, Imogen turned to Jasper in surprise. She didn't expect him to act so quickly. It left her a bit stunned.
After hanging up the phone, Jasper walked over to Imogen and took her hand. As they walked into the house, he said, "Mom and Dad shouldn't live in that old house anymore. I'll arrange a new place for them."
Imogen was touched but hesitant to accept his care so easily. She asked, "Isn't that a bit much?"
Jasper smiled resignedly and said, "You married me, so my assets are yours too. You're quite wealthy now. Shouldn't you use some of that wealth to take care of your parents?"
Imogen couldn't help but smile at his words. Then, she nodded.
They walked into the house hand in hand.
As soon as they stepped inside, they heard a joyful voice from the living room. Mila said excitedly, "My son and daughter-in-law are back!"
When they heard Mila's voice, both of them were shocked. They quickly walked into the house.
Mila walked out from inside, beaming at them. She opened her arms and said, "It's been so long."
"Mom, when did you get back?" Jasper asked. As he opened his arms for a hug, Mila pushed him aside.
Jasper stumbled, looking at her in confusion. Mila was aiming to hug her daughter-in-law, Imogen. Although Imogen was a bit confused, she warmly hugged Mila back.
Mila patted her back and said, "I'm sorry, Imogen. I had an urgent matter last time and couldn't make it."
"Mom, please don't say that. We should be apologizing for keeping you and Dad waiting. We also caused you to delay your plans."
Then, Mila held her hand and led her into the living room. She said, "We're family, so there's no need for such formalities. This time, Nathan and I plan to visit your parents in person."
Jasper followed them inside.
Nathan was sitting in the living room, looking at his phone. When he saw them approaching, he looked up at them.
Imogen and Jasper greeted him respectfully. "Hello, Dad."
Nathan replied warmly, "You're back. Mila and I came without telling you because we wanted to surprise you."
Jasper grinned as he replied, "It was indeed a surprise."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
After they sat down, Imogen's expression turned a bit somber. Holding her hand, Mila asked curiously, "You don't look very well. What's wrong?"
Imogen said apologetically, "Mom, we might have to postpone the visit."
Mila was puzzled. "Why? We rarely come back. If we postpone the visit, we might not get another chance this year."
Jasper quickly explained, "Mom, Imogen's father was attacked by some thugs and is in the hospital. Their house was also vandalized."
Upon hearing that, Nathan's face turned somber. With a serious attitude, he put down his phone and asked sternly, "Who dares to bully my in-laws? Who did this?"
His authoritative tone made Imogen shiver. She looked at Nathan before glancing at Jasper.
She gulped, feeling a bit nervous.
Although Jasper and Nolan were best friends, he didn't forgive them easily. With a serious attitude, he said clearly, "We suspect the Gibson family. Oakley's granddaughter, Yulia. There's no solid evidence yet, and the police are still investigating."
Nathan angrily pounded the sofa's armrest. He then immediately took out his phone to make a call.
For the first time, Imogen felt the commanding presence and authority of a general in the household.
Jasper was gentler than Nathan, and he didn't resemble him much. Meanwhile, Nathan was stern and formidable, making people respect and fear him.
