The two bodyguards, with visible injuries and limping, returned fromvHarrick Villa and knocked on the door of Craig’s study in the Newton residence.
“Come in.” Craig called out.
The two men supported each other as they entered the room.
Craig, deeply engrossed in reviewing documents, suddenly noticed their unusual state and furrowed his brows in confusion.
“What happened? Where’s Jasmine?”
“Ms. Jasmine is staying at the Jenson residence. She’s not coming back, Mr. Craig.”
Craig set his pen down and raised an eyebrow with amusement. “Well, that’s good. Then why are you two here instead of following her? Why did you come back?”
The bodyguards wore pained expressions. “We were forcibly driven away by Mrs. Jenson and then beaten. up by Elven and a few others. They said we had to get out of there immediately.”
Crack!
A teacup flew and shattered at their feet.
The sound of shattering porcelain reverberated in the air, and an aura of tension filled the air.
“Useless fools, get out!”
Every fiber of Craig’s being radiated anger. He massaged his temple to ease the throbbing pain.
Jennifer is tightly controlled, while Jasmine’s naivety proves to be more of a liability than an asset. This is such vering matter!
Feeling exasperated, he pulled open a drawer and retrieved a transparent crystal.
Taking a deep breath, he inhaled the crystal’s potent fragrance, seeking solace in its nerve-stimulating properties.
A loud knock rasped against Craig’s door once again.
He carefully placed the crystal back into the drawer before Karl, the butler, entered the room.
Karl walked up to Craig respectfully and placed an item on his table.
