Chapter 74 The News of Marin’s Death
“According to the report sent back from Water Bay, the identity of the female corpse that was found this morning has been confirmed. It was Marin Gardner, wife of the former CEO of the Gardner Group. The insider revealed that Mrs. Gardner had a mental disease when she was alive. Before the accident, she was treated in the hospital. Why would she appear and die in Water Bay, more than 60 miles away from the hospital? The reporter, Jerry Sawyer, will follow up.‘
Crack.
The glass in Giancarlo’s hand broke.
”
Owen was scared. Seeing that his hand was bleeding, Owen hurriedly shouted, “Mr. Tapia, your hand…”
“Have you recognized the body?” Giancarlo asked.
Owen hurriedly calmed down and did not dare to look at the wound on Giancarlo’s hand. He tried to report the situation clearly.
“At five o’clock in the morning three days ago, a cleaner found the body and quickly called the police. Then, the reporters arrived there faster than the police. When we received the news and rushed over, the body had been sent to the funeral home. That afternoon, the medical examiner intervened, and the results were out in two days. According to the surveillance footage found at the scene, Mrs. Gardner committed suicide.”
Owen’s voice became lower and lower as he spoke. He did not even dare to look at Giancarlo.
He could not understand why Giancarlo put on a murderous look at that moment. Giancarlo was so fierce as if he wanted to take the whole world down with Marin.
If Owen had not known that Giancarlo didn’t care about Jazmine at all, he would really think that Giancarlo was angry because of Marin’s death.
“How many years have you worked for me?” Giancarlo suddenly asked.
Owen trembled and had a bad feeling.
He knew that he had to take it seriously.
“Mr. Tapia, thank you for your promotion. I have been in the Tapia Group for three years.”
Three years…
Giancarlo glanced at him strangely.
Owen did not know what to do. He tried to calm down and stood there uneasily.
Giancarlo looked past Owen and stared at the computer in front of him. He seemed to be looking at
something on the computer with mixed feelings.
“In fact, it was four years.”
Owen did not hear what Giancarlo said clearly, but he did not dare to ask. Owen lowered his head and stood at
the side, a little overwhelmed.
Owen was terrified.
However, he didn’t know why he was terrified. Owen just knew something was about to happen.
At the same time…
When the news was out, Jazmine was sitting in front of the TV and staring at it. Her eyes were wide open, and tears had welled up in her eyes.
Her face was pale as death.
At that moment, Jazmine seemed to be the only one left in the world, facing the grief of losing her beloved.
The screen showed a close–up of the corpse. That was indeed her mother. Even though she had been soaked in water and was beyond recognition, Jazmine still recognized who this person was at a glance.
Jazmine kept trembling and almost blacked out.
She stood up.
Then she walked in the direction of the door.
Jazmine seemed to hear someone knocking on the door. At that moment, she just wanted to go to her mother’s side. She thought that corpse was definitely not her mother.
When she walked to the door, Jazmine could no longer see or hear anything.
She felt hurt all over. Jazmine might have fallen, but she couldn’t tell where it hurt. She just focused on her
belly.
This was where it hurt.
Jazmine panicked. Something must have happened to her baby, but what should she do?
She wondered if the bodyguards at the door heard the noise inside.
Before she fainted, Jazmine seemed to find the door pushed open, and she heard Giancarlo’s voice.
Jazmine seemed to see fog in front of her. A person was standing in the middle of the fog, waving at her. Jazmine felt that she should run over. If she didn’t go over, the person over there would disappear.
And Jazmine would regret it.
But no matter how hard she ran, Jazmine could not get close to that person.
Jazmine was anxious and didn’t care about anything else. She shouted desperately, “Mom, don’t leave me
alone.”
That person seemed to have turned around. When Jazmine saw her face, it was indeed her mother.
When Jazmine was about to run over, Marin’s face changed greatly as she glared at her. “Jazmine, you are
not my daughter. My daughter will not harm me. I was killed by you.”
“I did not.” Jazmine shook her head.
Marin turned and left.
Jazmine chased after her.
The next moment, Marin turned around and pushed Jazmine to the ground.
Jazmine was awakened and found herself lying on the operating table. The people around looked at her with sympathy.
“What are you going to do?”
Jazmine found that she was tied up and had no strength. She could not even feel her legs.
She knew that she was anesthetized.
Jazmine quickly looked around and did not know anyone there.
“Who are you? What do you want to do to me?”
The nurse standing next to her said, “Ms. Gardner, if I were you, I wouldn’t struggle in case I hurt myself and couldn’t have a child in the future.”
Jazmine goggled in horror.
These people wanted to hurt her child.
“I want to see Giancarlo.”
Jazmine really did not expect Giancarlo to make a move at her child at this time. But other than talking to Giancarlo, she had no other way of saving herself. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The nurse looked at Jazmine as if she was going to die. “Sorry, Mr. Tapia does not want to see you.”
Jazmine’s lower body could not move. She could only raise her upper body and grab the nurse’s hand next to
her.
“No. He will see me. He’s the father of the child in my belly.”
The nurse directly knocked Jazmine’s hand off.
“Jazmine, I’m afraid you never dreamed that you would get where you’re today. You asked for it.” The nurse
laughed crazily.
Jazmine finally recognized who this person was.
It was one of Yoselin’s friends.
They had met once.
“Is it Yoselin? It must be.” Jazmine wanted to grab her hand again.
The nurse slapped Jazmine.
The doctor said impatiently, “Hurry up. It will be troublesome if the anesthetics wear off.”
“But Yoselin is still on the way. Let’s wait for another five minutes.” The nurse glanced at the doctor.
Jazmine was terrified. She was struggling to find a way to save herself.
When the doctor was impatient, he said to the nurse, “I don’t want to wait any longer. Let’s do it now.”
Jazmine watched in horror as the doctor grabbed the scalpel and walked in her direction.
