The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 929

Jasper felt helpless and embarrassed at Ryan's retort. He said, "Mr. Campbell, I don't mean that. I just—"

"Mrs. Campbell will take good care of her. Candice is drunk, so why put her through the hassle of moving around? Go, go, go. Go back home and sleep."

Jasper said, "Candice is engaged now. It's inappropriate for her to stay overnight at your house."

Ryan was well aware of her engagement.

The sudden news had caught them off guard, which was why they had Ryan return quickly. Otherwise, his daughter-in-law would be taken away.

"Being engaged doesn't mean she has no freedom."

"That's not what I meant, I—"

Before Jasper could finish speaking, Ryan interrupted, "Just go home. Good night."

With that, the door was shut.

Feeling disappointed, Jasper left. As he walked, he pulled out his phone to call Elio.

As the phone rang, he thought to himself, "Uncle Elio, I've done my part."

Elio's groggy voice came from the phone. "It's late, what's going on?"

"Mervyn is back," Jasper said.

On the other end, Elio fell silent.

Jasper continued, "Candice welcomed him and had a few drinks. She got drunk. I tried to pick her up, but the Campbells wouldn't let her go. She's staying at their house tonight."

Elio was very shocked. He sat up abruptly and demanded coldly, "Send me the location."

Jasper replied, "I'm just letting you know so you guys won't have any misunderstandings. Candice is safe at their house because she's stayed there many times before. Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's late—"

Elio shouted angrily, "Address!"

Jasper was so shocked that he nearly dropped his phone. He had never seen Elio so out of control and irrational. To him, Elio was always calm, composed, and mature.

Now, he seemed like an impulsive teenager.

Ryan knew that Elio was pissed because of his cold demeanor toward him. Elio didn't even bother to greet him.

Ryan pointed to a room in the corner and then said, "The last one."

Elio strode toward it. As he passed the hallway, a door from the middle room was opened.

Mervyn walked out of the room in his cartoon pajamas. He looked youthful and adorable.

With his arms crossed over his chest and feet apart, he proudly stood there just to block Elio's path.

Elio stopped in his tracks and then glared coldly at Mervyn.

The atmosphere was very scary as they exchanged their gazes.

Elio commanded, "Move aside."

Mervyn responded, "When Candice wakes up, she'll leave on her own. She doesn't need anyone to pick her up."
