The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 474
That night was not a calm night.
To the occupants of the Newton residence, especially, it was a sleepless, painful night.
Jasmine had paid a visit to a relative of her mother’s. She was unreachable because she had turned off her phone.
After Gwendolyn and her group left, Craig ordered the bodyguards to locate Jasmine immediately.
Five hours later, at daybreak, Jasmine was dragged back from her relative’s house and flung into the ancestral hall.
“Hey! Go easy, would you? Are you trying to kill me?”
She massaged her sore buttock as she grumbled at the bodyguard.
Without a word, the bodyguard departed the ancestral hall after one last bow.
With a bang that startled Jasmine, he slammed the doors to the ancestral hall shut.
In the pitch-black darkness of the night, the candles in the ancestral hall remained lit. Shivering at the Occasional cold breeze, Jasmine swallowed guiltily as she got to her feet.

An icy male voice that chilled her to the bone sounded behind her.
Jasmine shuddered with a fear that penetrated her bones when she heard the voice.
