Chapter 83

As Jasmine leaned in to kiss Alex, the sudden roar of helicopter blades filled the air.

Powerful gusts whipped her hair around her face, forcing her to shield her eyes.

The helicopter descended with expert precision, hovering just a few meters above the ground, its downdraft sending debris swirling across the street.

Reacting swiftly, Alex scooped Jasmine into his armis and sprinted toward the aircraft.

With a fluid leap, he boarded the helicopter, holding her securely against him. "Continue to the destination!" Alex shouted over the deafening noise. "Understood, sir!the pilot responded, steadying the aircraft as it began to ascend.

The forceful winds sent nearby pedestrians scrambling, and Kingston's guards could only watch helplessly as the helicopter rose swiftly out of reach.

Inside, Alex gently laid Jasmine on a seat.

Her breaths came in shallow gasps, her complexion radiating desire.

Without hesitation, he placed his hands on her shoulders, channeling a calming warmth into her.

She stirred slightly, her tense features softening. His technique dulled the effects of the poison coursing through her veins, buying her precious time.

Pulling out his phone, Alex dialed Alfred Kingston.

"Yes, Master Alex?" came Alfred's calm yet alert voice.

"I have Jasmine. Someone poisoned her, and I'm bringing her to the Golden Mansion. I can't trust anyone else right now."

There was a brief pause before Alfred replied, his voice laced with barely restrained anger at the thought of someone daring to harm his daughter.

"Thank you, Mr. Alex. Once again, we're indebted to you. Please, keep her safe." "She'll be fine. I promise."

Minutes later, the helicopter touched down on the sprawling garden helipad of the Golden Mansion.

Alex carried Jasmine into a luxurious bedroom, gently laying her on the silk- covered bed.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at him with a mix of fear and vulnerability.

"Alex... I was poisoned," she whispered, her voice shaky.
