Chapter 2 A Conspiracy
“Giancarlo…”
Jazmine’s face was pale, but before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of the door
slamming.
Her back was soaked in sweat from the pain. She felt one wave of pain after another and was
constantly trembling.
The phone on the bed buzzed incessantly.
A similar voice was heard, satirizing, “I heard that today is the wedding anniversary of you and
Giancarlo. Unfortunately, he is coming to be with me.”
Jazmine clenched her phone, and the pain forced her to curl up slightly. She gritted her teeth and said,
“Yoselin, what are you trying to do?”
Yoselin tried to compete for Giancarlo’s favor with Jazmine many times ever since Jazmine married
Giancarlo. Sarcastically, her tricks worked every time.
“What else can I do? Of course, I want you to get a divorce. It’s been so long. Why can’t you accept
reality?” Yoselin chuckled on the other end of the call.
“Do you know why he was so anxious to come to me? Because I told him that the electricity was cut
off. I was a little scared because I hit my foot.”
Every word on the other side of the line was like a blade, stabbing Jazmine’s heart fiercely.
This pain was even more violent than the pain in her abdomen.
The pain made her dizzy. She couldn’t help but vomit a few times, but the voice on the other side of the
line suddenly became
sharp.
“Are you pregnant?” On the other side, Yoselin asked with a shrill voice. She sounded somewhat
exasperated and sneered, “My uterus was removed because of you. And you still want to be a mother?
“It’s good that you’re pregnant. Do you know that? Giancarlo bought you personal insurance for a huge
number long ago. And he said…” Yoselin deliberately stopped. She was acting as viciously as she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould.
“He said that even if you gave birth to a child, I would be his mother. You are just a tool for giving birth
to a child.”
Every word fell like thunder, shocking Jazmine to the point that her heart trembled.
“Yoselin!” Jazmine gritted her teeth and said harshly, “He and I are a legal couple. Do you think you can
win the lawsuit?”
However, these words didn’t work at all. Yoselin paused for a while and suddenly sneered, “Do you still
think you are still the respected young lady of the Gardner family? Don’t tell me you don’t know that
Giancarlo is ready to take over the Gardner Group?”
“Impossible!” Jazmine said subconsciously.
How could it be?
At that time, Giancarlo’s parents died in a car accident. Only Giancarlo was left. the Gardner Group
was the first to support him. She even married him and spent her youth with him.
Even if he was unwilling to marry her, even if she used some tricks, the Gardner Group’s help was real.
How could he? And how dare he do that?
“How is that not possible? If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself. Do you think it was a
coincidence that the share price of the Gardner Group fell? It was Giancarlo. He was clearing the way
for me so that I could be Mrs. Tapia.” Yoselin
sounded impatient.
The phone was hung up.
Every word Yoselin said just now was like a shocking thunderbolt. Jazmine subconsciously wanted to
refute it. But instinctively, she felt that… maybe it was true.
Jazmine’s hand that was holding the phone was cold. Her fingers were slightly trembling.
After hesitating for a long time, she called Giancarlo again. The phone rang a few times, but it was
directly hung up.
Then she called Giancarlo’s assistant, Owen Parker. It went through. “Ms. Gardner?”
Before, Jazmine didn’t feel any difference. But all the details were mocking her. She had been married
for four years, but those people in the Tapia Group only called her “Ms. Gardner” instead of “Mrs.
Tapia“.
“I want to ask you something.” Jazmine raised her head slightly and forced her tears back. “The
Gardner Group lost several orders days before. Was Giancarlo behind that?” she asked softly.
After she said that, her hands suddenly clenched. Her heart seemed to be suspended in her throat.
But as time passed by… She calmed down.
The other side of the line hesitated for a long time before saying softly, “I’m sorry, Ms. Gardner. This is
a business secret. I. really can’t tell you.”
This could be known with a little investigation. How could it become a secret?
Jazmine’s tears rolled down her face. Her voice was a bit hoarse from crying. She said in a low voice,
“Okay, I got it. Thank
you.”
When she hung up the phone, great pain attacked again.
She struggled to get up and staggered to the living room with her bare feet. The insurance that Yoselin
had mentioned just
now should be there.
It was her last straw.
It was her last chance to believe him.
In the second drawer of the living room table, there was indeed an insurance policy.
Jazmine did not even realize how pale her face was. It was pale like a piece of white paper. Her hand
that was holding the paper trembled violently as she slowly pulled it out and opened it.
Splash!
Tears rolled up and wet all the words on it.
She clearly saw what was written on the paper.
Beneficiary: Giancarlo Tapia.
Sure enough!
Sure enough, Yoselin didn’t lie. Then… about that child….
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJazmine felt dizzy and fell to the ground. She used the last of her strength to call the ambulance. Her
voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. “Save me, please.”
She passed out.
In the endless darkness, she saw Giancarlo when he was young. He was looking at her coldly with his
eyes filled with disgust.
She also saw him when he was at the wedding. He was dressed in a suit. But he looked so cold as if
he was attending a funeral. When exchanging the rings, he suddenly tilted his head and smiled warmly
toward the side. The smile was warm and filled
with love.
But he was smiling at Yoselin.

On the other side.
It was raining heavily outside.
The phone buzzed. Giancarlo stepped on the brake. He looked down at the phone and remained quiet.
Someone was calling him, but he didn’t want to answer at all.
Then the second call came. And the third one. When the call stopped, the car finally fell silent.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Just as he was about to turn around the car, another call
came in.
“Giancarlo, you haven’t come yet? What should I do? I wanted to get the electricity back myself, but I
rolled down the stairs unexpectedly.” Yoselin was crying on the other side of the call.
“I can’t find the medicine box. My legs are bleeding. I’m so scared. When can you

come?”
Giancarlo looked at the rain outside the car window. It was raining cats and dogs outside. The car
window was like being
washed.
“Giancarlo, are you listening?” Yoselin cried even more sadly.
His Adam’s apple rolled and his voice was slightly hoarse. “I’ll be there soon.”
He suddenly stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight toward the direction he headed just now.
