Chapter 22 Am I Going to Die?
It was as if her head had been hit. The sounds around her instantly dissipated, and only one sound was
echoing inside her.
The Gardner Group’s CEO died.
Robert was dead?
Cold sweat covered her entire body. Her legs lost their support, and she collapsed to the ground. Her
heart, which had been
riddled with holes, was crushed. Despair enveloped her. She did not even have the strength to cry.
She clenched her fists tightly, only then could she suppress the crazed howl she blurted out.
Her hand was bitten through, and the repulsive smell of blood rushed into her throat. She could not
help but retch.
“What is this noise?”
When it fell into Jazmine’s ears, Yoselin’s voice became a voice of hope for the first time, not so
disgusting.
“Ms. Larsen, sorry for disturbing you. It was the voice of the people inside,” the bodyguard said
respectfully.
Jazmine bit her lips and forced herself to calm down. She used all her strength to get up. Something
slipped from the corner of her mouth. She wiped it off with the back of her hand and grabbed a fruit
knife in her hand.
She stared at the door.
“Open the door. I want to see how she is doing.”
Yoselin came, with no surprise.
Jazmine’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
The door was opened.
With a long creak, the door was slowly pushed open. The light brought by the opening door slowly
occupied the dark room.
The instrument placed by the bedside made a regular sound. With the faint light, Yoselin saw that there
was no one on the bed. She was hesitating about whether she should go in. Suddenly, there was a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknife on her neck.
In the dark, there was a hoarse warning, “Do what I tell you if you don’t want me to cut your neck.”
Yoselin was frightened and regretful.
Her original intention was to ridicule Jazmine for becoming a loser and losing her father. Yoselin
wanted to see Jazmine’s sad and desperate expression. Who would have thought that this woman not
only did not feel despair, she even held Yoselin as a
hostage?
In the dark, Yoselin’s eyes were faintly jumping with anger.
However, fear made her not dare to move, afraid that Jazmine would kill her without hesitation.
“Take the car keys and send me out.”
Facing the order, Yoselin did not do anything. She said, “What are you doing? Is it useful to kidnap me?
You have a mother, right? You hurt me and angered Giancarlo. Your mother is also toast.”
Jazmine’s hand trembled and scratched her neck
Yoselin fell into horror. “You are crazy. If you kill me, Giancarlo will not let you go.”
Giancarlo?
She had long known that her father’s death had something to do with that man. Yoselin’s reminder was
like a knife cutting
Jazmine’s heart.
The numb pain made her throw caution to the wind and push Yoselin hard. “Go, or my knife will cut
deeper.”
The bodyguards had long been ready to take action. They followed behind them, trying to find an
opportunity to save Yoselin
The clear sound of footsteps rang out in the empty corridor, approaching one after another.
To Jazmine, these footsteps were like a death call. She had hoped to hear them before, but now she
was just scared.
The figure of Giancarlo gradually appeared in the dark. His cold face seemed even colder. His dark
eyes jumped with anger, and
he stared at her.
“Let go of her.”
The biting cold tone was enough to freeze anyone’s courage. Even if she was holding a knife in her
hand, Jazmine’s heart was vaguely stabbed. The hand holding the knife was a little unsteady.
“I need to go out, and I won’t hurt her.”
For Jazmine, she could use Yoselin to restrain Giancarlo. No matter how badly injured she was by this
perception, she still
insisted on not letting go of Yoselin.
“Let her go, and I’ll take you there,” Giancarlo compromised.
Without any hesitation, it could be seen how important Yoselin was in his heart, and he didn’t want her
to get hurt a little bit.
Jazmine revealed a mournful smile, “I don’t believe you.”
Giancarlo’s eyes sank. He stared at her for a moment and finally spat out a sentence from his thin lips,
“Don’t waste time, or
you won’t be able to see him for the last time.”
Jazmine’s body swayed. The bodyguards saw the opportunity and rushed over to knock off the knife in
her hand, rescuing
Yoselin.
Yoselin, who had long noticed the bodyguards‘ movements, fell into Giancarlo’s arms the moment she
was rescued.
Like a frightened deer, she curled up and trembled.
“Giancarlo, I’m scared. Ms. Gardner is crazy.”
Giancarlo quickly retracted his gaze from Jazmine’s face and patted Yoselin’s back, comforting her
softly. He was a completely different person from his cold appearance just now.
At that moment, Jazmine only wanted to see her father. She urged, “Let’s go now.”
Yoselin grabbed Giancarlo’s collar tightly. “Giancarlo, my neck hurts. Check for me if it is bleeding.”
The lights were turned on at this time.
The corridor was as bright as day.
Under the light, Yoselin’s fair neck was exposed in the eyes of everyone. A thin and long blood mark
appeared. The blood had dried up, but it was just a light wound.
A storm of fury instantly gathered in Giancarlo’s eyes. He looked coldly at Jazmine’s face. “You actually
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdared to hurt her.”
Yoselin was overjoyed. Her face looked even more miserable as tears rolled down her face. “It’s very
serious, right? It hurts so much. Am I going to die? Giancarlo, I’m so scared.”
“Apologize.”
This was said to Jazmine.
He had already forgotten his words. He had promised Jazmine that he would take her to see her father
for the last time. But now just for the scar on Yoselin’s neck, he had gone back on his words.
Jazmine’s heart was filled with sorrow, but she could no longer shed tears.
It turned out that when people were grief–stricken, they could not shed tears.
Jazmine stared at the man and woman in front. They hugged each other so tightly that no third person
could be involved. Jazmine was the one that was superfluous and bad.
Jazmine had done something bad just now and had angered them.
If she wanted them to forgive her, she had to pay the price.
Jazmine bowed her head. Even the sound of her hair falling down could be heard. It could be seen how
sincere she was that the bodyguards were a little moved.
On the other hand, Jazmine…
There was no pain, humiliation, or even emotional fluctuations in her eyes. It was as if all these
emotions had disappeared. She could not feel these things in her world.
The bodyguards were very sympathetic to her. This woman suffered more and more injuries each time.
Now, she even wanted to see her father for the last time and still had to beg for help. The bodyguards
quickly turned their faces away and could not bear to look anymore.
Yoselin felt that she had won. She then said in a gentle tone, “Giancarlo, Ms. Gardner’s family is in
trouble. She can’t help but be irritated. I don’t blame her. Let her get up. Also, it really hurts. Can you
take me to bandage it?”
Jazmine stared at them. Her eyes were lifeless. If one looked closely, only a little bit of light was there.
But it would all be extinguished in the next moment.
Giancarlo lowered his eyes, covering up the emotions in his eyes. “Alright, I will bandage your wound.
Don’t be afraid.”
Looking at the backs of the two gradually disappearing, Jazmine had a determined expression and
stood there without moving.
