The Ex and Her Riches

Craig made his way downstairs with great difficulty. Thereafter, Karl carefully supported him to his main seat with the help of a housekeeper.

He sat down slowly, a needle-like pain running from his calf to his thighs. It was agonizing.

Just walking down the stairs and sitting in a chair caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead and his face to pale.

He was deeply annoyed by the scrutiny from everyone and had nowhere to vent his He picked up his spoon and bellowed, “Let’s eat!”

At that, Lucas and Jasmine quickly lowered their heads and picked up their forks to cat breakfast, neither of them making a peep.

A few minutes went by before Craig questioned coldly, “Jasmine, did you see Jennifer yesterday?”

Jasmine froze momentarily and tried to swallow the piece of freshly baked bread in her mouth.

“No, when I went over in the afternoon, Gwendolyn and Jennifer weren’t at the villa. I didn’t know where they went, so I came home.”

Crash!

As soon as she finished speaking, Craig swept all the plates onto the floor with his arm, The sound of plates breaking echoing throughout the dining hall.

Lucas was startled by Craig’s sudden outburst and dropped his fork, trembling in fear.

On the other hand. Jasmine’s eyes turned teary and reddened like a frightened little bunny.

Craig shot her a vicious glare and questioned in a low voice, “How could you come back without seeing them? Don’t you know you should stay at the Jenson residence until you see Jennifer? What else do you know besides slacking?”

Jasmine burst into tears. Tears streamed down her face, and she was unable to respond.

As Jasmine was Craig’s most beloved sister, he suppressed his anger and ordered, “You have to see Jennifer and Gwendolyn today, or else don’t come back to see me.”

“Yes, I understand…”

The more Jasmine thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her sobs grew louder and medicantly coed remouth to shop her crying. Her chess rose and Gell as he tears drippet wcomersilahity
