chapter 1880
Charmine narrowed her eyes and looked at the people in front of them. Recalling how Robert suddenly and miraculously awakened from his coma, she then realized something.
Someone had trapped them here.
Nonetheless, what was the point?
Charmine's head spun. If they wanted the company funds, they would have released them all by now, having gained every penny left in the company's bank.
She could not figure it out yet, but she had a vague inkling that they were all in danger. They had to leave, and fast.
Charmine looked up at Senior Jordan. "Grandpa, the Jordan mansion is dangerous right now. Everyone, get out! Do not stay in here!"
Everyone looked at her in shock.
Why was the Jordan mansion dangerous?
Robert stood up and stood the lead. He supported Senior Jordan and said," Just trust her, Grandpa." "Okay." Senior Jordan still could not grasp what was happening, yet he trusted Charmine. He stood up and said, "Listen to Charmine. Go out, now!”
The Jordans placed down their cutleries and began to walk.
Lily pulled Amelia secretly and whispered, "This is probably a part of Tiffany's plan to divert their attention. When they're not noticing later, let's go and find your father!"
Amelia nodded.
Everyone rushed to the front yard with Charmine leading them, the first to reach out to the gates as well. Just as she reached out to the gates, however...
She felt electric currents rushing from her fingertips and throughout her body. Her head buzzed as though electricity ran across her veins and skin.
Charmine quickly retrieved her hand, and looking at how numb her arm was, she knew something terrible had been set.
"What’s wrong, Charmine?" asked Senior Jordan.
"There's active electricity running throughout the gates, and we can’t get out," declared Charmine seriously.
Although the electric current would not kill them, it might incapacitate their mental stability.
Senior Jordan’s aged face was riddled with worry, still. "Who hated us so much that they'd plot this against us?" he asked in utter disbelief.
When Lily and Amelia heard this, they panicked.
Now that they could not get hold of Felix, if they could not get out, how would they get the money and get out of the country?
She glared at the metal gate and said with disbelief, "Do you have conductors on your clothes?"
Charmine looked at her coldly, and her red lips twisted into a smirk. "You can try." "So what if I try!” Lily walked toward the door.
Joey held her back. 'Lily, don’t be irrational. Charmine won’t harm us.”
All Lily wanted was to get out and get her money to leave the country. She did not care about these relatives she considered repulsive. Unbothered, she swung Joey's hand away and barked, "Who knows what you and your daughter are up to! The money was fine all these years, and all of a sudden, they're stolen. Nobody knows if you two plotted this. If you don’t let us leave now, that means you're not allowing us to call the police!"
Joey staggered backward due to the force of Lily's swing, but Robert caught her just in time. "Leave her be, Mom."
Senior Jordan's face was heavy as he knocked his walker against the ground heavily. "Lily, do you have to be so rude?"
Lily scoffed. 'Dad, I’m not being rude! I did this for your own sake; I don’t want your money to get stolen! I will go out now and call the police!"
With that said, she held Amelia's hand and walked toward the door. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
She refused to believe she could not get out. It was just an electrical surge, and she could take it. She would not die!
As long as she got out, she could leave this disgusting place forever!
Charmine, meanwhile, no longer bothered with Lily attempting to leave.
At this rate, the entire family would die here with them!
Charmine looked around as she tried to look for a way out when the breeze blew...
She could make out the smell of natural gas.
