Chapter 152

Charles walked out of the hall when, suddenly, almost all his bodyguards' smartphones started ringing.

Some couldn't help but glance at their screens, curiosity tugging at them.

A few, after reading the message, exchanged looks, their eyes filled with confusion and silent questions.

Then, one of the braver guards finally spoke.

"Sir Charles, I don't mean to be impolite, but... I need to ask. Is it true that your money is gone? Like, gone gone."

"What do you mean, gone?" Charles frowned, his gaze sweeping over his men.

Yet, they all looked back at him, waiting for an answer.

"We just got a message," the guard continued hesitantly.

"All your bank accounts have been frozen under Jasmine Kingston's report to the financial authorities. They found stolen money in the accounts. You're practically broke."

A tense silence fell. The bodyguards exchanged uneasy glances.

Most of them were here for the money-what would happen now that their boss had nothing left to pay them?

Then, Jasmine stepped into as Alex following close behind.

Her expression was calm, almost amused. "He practically has nothing anymore," she said. “Even his cards have been blocked." Charles' fury ignited. His jaw clenched as he took a step toward her "How dare you -"

"Typical," Jasmine interrupted, unimpressed. "When you can't win, you resort to threats."

Alex moved forward, his eyes fixed on Charles. "Why don't you ask where your friend Bill and those black magic practitioners are? The ones you trusted to help you?"

Charles froze. He had sent them to kill Jasmine. But now, she stood here unharmed—and they were nowhere to be found.

His voice was hoarse when he finally spoke. "What happened to them?"

Alex's expression darkened. "If you try anything against Jasmine again, you'll meet them out soon enough."

Charles's frustration snapped. "Guards, seize these two! Now!"

But none of them budged. They exchanged uneasy glances instead. Finally, one guard just shook his head.
