The Ex and Her Riches

Craig bowed politely. “Have a safe journey, Mr. Jenson.”

Standing at the side of the gate, he watched Cedrick enter a vehicle and leave.

Once the automobiles vanished from his view, he kicked a large pot in the garden in a fit of fury.

“Cedrick Jenson!” exclaimed Craig with resentment.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly recalled something. Oh, cr*p! Jennifer has been staying at the Jenson residence for almost a week now. I guess I’IL…

Upon composing himself, he returned to the villa and summoned Jasmine to the study.

“What’s the matter, Craig?” she asked.

Irritated, Craig smoked and ordered, “Remember to visit Jennifer in the Jenson residence in these two days. You must bring the bodyguards protecting you into the bedroom.”

“Eh?” Jasmine was confounded. “Gwendolyn’s always the one leading me to the room. I don’t think she’ll allow the bodyguards to enter because there are too many people-”

Smashing his hand on the table, Craig demanded, “I don’t care what you do. Just ensure you can spend time in Jennifer’s room alone with the bodyguards.”

“Mr. Treyton and the doctor never leaves Jennifer’s room, Craig. What you’re asking me to do is impossible. They won’t allow me-”

Again, Craig slapped the table with a violent look. “Why are you saying it’s impossible before you even try it? How can you hope to succeed when you’re already diminishing your confidence?”

Jasmine was startled by the slam and teared up. Weakly, she bit her lip aggrievedly.

Annoyed, Craig scowled instead of comforting her. “You’re twenty-one years old already. You are an adult, so you need to be capable of handling things independently. Consider this an opportunity to train your adaptability.”

His finger tapped on the table repeatedly. “I don’t care what you need to do to accomplish your mission. Within two days, you will find a way to meet with Jasmine alone with the bodyguards without anyone else present in the room.”

“What if I can’t do it?” inquired Jasmine with teary eyes.
