Chapter 474 The Threat Of The Canc

That night was not a calm night.

To the occupants of the Newton residence, especially, it was a sleepless, painful night.

Jasmine had paid a visit to a relative of her mother’s. She was unreachable because she had turned off her phone.

After Gwendolyn and her group left, Craig ordered the bodyguards to locate Jasmine immediately.

“Hey! Go easy, would you? Are you trying to kill me?”

She massaged her sore buttock as she grumbled at the bodyguard.

Without a word, the bodyguard departed the ancestral hall after one last bow.

With a bang that startled Jasmine, he slammed the doors to the ancestral hall shut.

In the pitch-black darkness of the night, the candles in the ancestral hall remained lit. Shivering at the Occasional cold breeze, Jasmine swallowed guiltily as she got to her feet.
