Chapter 21 Robert’s Death
The feeling of losing a friend turned out to be empty.
As long as a friend was well, the despair of being left alone in the dark was actually not so terrible.
Jazmine tried hard to laugh. Even if she laughed until her chest hurt, and her eyes darkened, she did not stop.
The people who came and went were shocked by the sudden laughter and guessed who this crazy woman was.
But in the next moment, she fell straight down.
She went through a miscarriage and had one of her kidneys removed. Moreover, she had always been in such a state of emotional fluctuations. She had not rested well, and she finally collapsed.
Jazmine, who had fainted, had a high fever.
It was only three days later that she gradually recovered her strength.
The phone that had been abandoned for three days was filled with messages.
Most of them came from Jennie.
Jennie: “Jazmine, what’s wrong with you?”
Jennie: “David’s plane is flying at nine o’clock. Aren’t you coming to send him off?”
Jennie: “I can’t get through to you. Are you okay?”
There were more than a dozen text messages like this, and there were more than thirty missed calls.
At that moment, the phone rang again. Jazmine picked it up.
“Jazmine, you finally picked up the phone. What has happened to you these days? Why didn’t you pick up the phone? Why didn’t you reply to my message?”
“I’m fine,” Jazmine said.
Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant as if something horrible happened to her.
“You…”
“I caught a cold these past few days. Did David leave? That’s good,” Jazmine heaved a sigh of relief and said.
“Sure enough, there is a problem. Did Giancarlo force you?” Jennie was smart and suspected that there was something fishy in the middle. Now, she directly confirmed her guess.
Jazmine smiled bitterly, “Jennie, don’t do anything else. I’m really fine.”
It was unknown who had turned on the TV in the ward, but it kept playing. While Jazmine was talking to Jennie on the phone, it switched to the news channel and was still broadcasting live.
“The CEO of the Gardner Group, Robert, broke out of prison. The policemen have gotten his location. Our reporters have already arrived at the scene. Let’s follow their cameras and see how it happened.”
Jazmine’s phone slipped from her hand, and she almost pounced on the TV. She held the screen and stared at it with wide eyes,. afraid to miss any picture. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
The scene was a little shaky. The camera lens was closing in.
On a tall building, half body stretched out.
The reporter was introducing, “We can’t see clearly who he is from so far away, but there are many police cars downstairs. The scene has been blocked, so I guess it is Robert himself. He has no way to escape at this moment.”
What…
Jazmine’s eyes were red, and she did not dare to blink, afraid that Robert would fall the next moment.
There must be some misunderstanding
How could Robert break out of prison?
“The negotiator has arrived. I will continue to update the matter to you.”
In the camera, it was a little chaotic. It could only watch the scene on the roof from afar. The noise was weakened, and some wind could be heard, as well as extremely weak shouts, “Let my daughter come to see me.”
Jazmine did not even think about it and rushed out directly.
At the door, the bodyguards stopped her.
“Let me go.”
“I’m sorry. You can’t go out before Mr. Tapia agrees.”
Jazmine screamed and struggled, “Let me out.”
The other bodyguard hurriedly asked for instructions from Giancarlo.
The reply he got was, “Don’t let her out.”
Jazmine rushed over and grabbed the phone, roaring, “Giancarlo, I want to see my father. You can’t lock me up. Did you hear that? Even if I die, I have to go out.”
There was no sound on the phone.
The phone had already been hung up.
He was even impatient to hear a word from her. So why would he be kind enough to let her out?
Jazmine returned to the ward, broke the infusion bottle, and grabbed a piece of glass near her throat. She roared at the two bodyguards, “If you don’t let me out, then you’ll see my corpse.”
The bodyguards were scared.
The people who came to watch this were also scared.
While they were talking, Jazmine slowly moved to the elevator.
The bodyguard called again to ask for instructions, but the result was that he couldn’t get through and could only watch her
leave.
Robert was on the top floor of the Gardner Group.
Jazmine had already recognized it when the picture was shown on TV just now. It was the Gardner Group, which Robert had worked hard for several years to build, from nothing to something. It had been built little by little, but it had been overturned. in front of him.
A woman in a hospital gown, with messy hair and a crazy expression, was running around on the road, unable to stop a taxi. Just as she was about to cry in anxiety, the phone rang
She picked it up in a hurry and did not see whose call it was. “Hello.”

“Jazmine, I saw the news. Where are you?” It was Jennie.
Jazmine cried out, “Jennie, I’m at the hospital entrance. Please take me to him. My father, he…”
“Don’t worry. Don’t run around. I’ll be right there.”
The bodyguards suddenly jumped out from the side and snatched the glass from her hand, bringing her back
Jazmine struggled with all her might, and she fell to the ground.
“Please, my father wants to see me. He is in danger.”
Her thin body was half lying on the ground, and her pitiful begging appearance attracted many onlookers. No one dared to meddle in this matter.
Then two people appeared,
“Ms. Gardner, it’s very embarrassing for you to be like this. Get up quickly.”
The voice came from Yoselin, which made Jazmine feel disgusted. Yoselin was now trampling on her shattered self–esteem.
Seeing that Jazmine could not stand up, Yoselin told the man next to her, “Giancarlo, tell Ms. Gardner to stand up. Many people are watching her. She is shameless. But you can’t let her affect you.”
Jazmine looked up and saw that Giancarlo was also there.
She could not care so much. She moved her knees forward and grabbed Giancarlo’s leg. “Giancarlo, tell them not to stop me. My father is in danger. He wants to see me. I must go.”
“Take her back to the ward,” Giancarlo said casually.
“No, Giancarlo. You can’t do this to me.”
The bodyguards went to pull Jazmine up. She struggled. “Let me go.”
Yoselin persuaded, “Ms. Gardner, this is for your good. Just listen to Giancarlo.”
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Jazmine too.
On the surface, it looked like she was helping Jazmine up. But actually, she used her fingernails to pinch Jazmine hard.
The anger in Jazmine’s heart was intertwined, and she had nowhere to vent it. Yoselin bullied her in such an obvious way. Jazmine did not even think about it and directly slapped her. Her palm was numb.
Yoselin fell to the ground.
In the next moment, Yoselin was helped up by Giancarlo.
Jazmine wanted to slap her again, but she was stopped by Giancarlo.
Jazmine was weak to begin with. She used all the strength in her body to throw a slap, so the impact of her falling to the ground was great. Jazmine felt dizzy, and she almost fainted again.
She then heard Giancarlo sternly say, “Lock her up. No one could visit her.”
Jazmine panicked.
In the end, she was locked up in the ward, and not even a nurse could be seen.
She couldn’t watch TV, and her cell phone was confiscated.
She felt so regretful.
It was not until the second half of the night that people were talking outside.
“The Gardner Group is such a big company, but it still went bankrupt overnight. Its president died just like that. He fell from
such a high building. His brain smashed into pieces. It is really terrible.”
