Wooing My Ex-Wife

Jasmine was baffled after listening to Gwendolyn She met the latter’s gaze and asked, “Gwendolyn, are you joking with me? How could Craig imprison our mother or even inject her with some kind of medication? You don’t understand. My mother has a peculiar temperament She doesn’t like to go out most of the time and would only be reluctantly persuaded by Craig to attend some functions. She also doesn’t care about her children’s affairs, remaining indifferent all the time and would only listen to Craig”

Gwendolyn sighed and patiently explained to Jasmine, “Exactly. Don’t you think it’s strange that your mother only listens to Craig?”

“This…” Jasmine stared at her in a daze.

Gwendolyn continued, “Jennifer has been dating Treyton for over a year, and their relationship is quite stable. However, during the Newton family’s homecoming feast, she publicly acknowledged her engagement to the Abbot family, unable to recognize Treyton and me, and only knew Craig. Don’t you find her condition similar to your mother’s?”

Jasmine fell silent and carefully mulled over Gwendolyn’s words. Whenever Mother made an appearance at formal events, she did seem to focus only on Craig…

Jasmine’s face turned ashen in utter shock. She couldn’t imagine Craig would do something like that.

Gwendolyn held her hand, trying to persuade Jasmine, “Jasmine, what he did is illegal and should be condemned. Help me once more. You’ll also be doing the Newton family and mother a favor. What do you say?”

Jasmine trembled all over. She had yet to recover from learning that appalling news. “W- What do you need me to do?”

“Find a way to go to the top floor and locate the serum that Craig injects your mother with, then bring the serum to me.”

Jasmine withdrew her hand and shook her head firmly. “I can’t. Craig keeps a tight watch over the top floor. I have no chance of getting up there. He’s now the person in charge of the Newton family, and his mood hasn’t been good lately, so he has been losing his temper frequently lately. If I accidentally expose myself, he will certainly punish me severely. I dare not do this.”

Gwendolyn desperately tried to reassure Jasmine. “Don’t worry. I will help you. I won’t let you get hurt. Do you wish to see your mother continue to be tortured and controlled by him?”

“I-I don’t know…” Tears brimmed in Jasmine’s eyes as panic gripped her heart.
