Chapter 150

Alex and Jasmine stiffened as a sharp, rotten stench drifted toward them.

Bill sauntered forward with a casual arrogance, flanked by two grim-faced men whose clothes reeked like they'd been unearthed from a grave.

He gave Jasmine a thin smile.

"Miss Jasmine," he said smoothly, "would you mind coming with us? There's some important business we need to discuss."

Nerves on edge, Jasmine pressed herself behind Alex.

"What do you want?" she snapped.

Bill let out a low chuckle. "Well, I'm hoping you can return Charles s money."

Jasmine's eyes blazed. "He stole that money from me!"

Bill shrugged, sounding almost bored. "Your family drama doesn't concern me. If you don't want things to get ugly, hand it over."

He lifted a hand, and the two men in black stepped closer, their rank odor intensifying.

Before they could advance any farther, Alex spoke in a calm, measured tone.

"There are too many reporters here. Let's head to the parking lot. If you can beat me, Jasmine will give you the cash." Jasmine shot him a worried glance. "Alex..."

He leaned in and lowered his voice. "I'll be fine. Stay here with the reporters. They won't risk touching you in front of a camera." His gaze flicked toward the two foul- smelling men. "These two are my mortal enemies. I need to make sure they don't slip away."

Jasmine's breath trembled as she whispered, "You're certain you can handle them?"

"One hundred percent," Alex said, a confident grin lighting his face.

Jasmine clenched her jaw. "Go get them, Alex. I'm sick of all this.

"You got it, Princess." With that, Alex turned back to face Bill.
