The Remorseful Brothers Novel

Chapter 142

Jasmine breathed rapidly, and her fingers were broken. She cried and screamed. Oliver freaked out and ran upstairs. Everyone in the family rushed

Sean knew that things were not simple and hurriedly dismissed all the housekeepers, leaving only himself, Jenny, and Jasmine in the living room.

Jenny was heartbroken. “Honey, look at Jasmine. She was fine before. Why is she like this now! She must have been tortured inhumanely. Call the police. Call the police immediately!”

Sean squatted in front of Jasmine, listening to her repeating words like “casino“, “no more gambling“, “all lost“, and “spare my life. He immediately understood and said, “Don’t call the police yet. I’m afraid that Jasmine might have been to the casino.

Even though he knew that Jasmine never gambled, he had to think calmly for the sake of their family’s reputation. If words got out, their reputation would be ruined

“Are you a father or not? Jasmine has been harmed Jenny was getting emotional.

Jasmine seemed to be stimulated, kneeling on the floor and bowing frantically to the air. “I was wrong. I was wrong! Let me go.

The whole family looked sad. At this time, there were footsteps at the door.

A bodyguard in black wearing sunglasses threw an envelope on the floor expressionlessly, and his voice was extremely cold. Jasmine owed us 320 million dollars. Get the money ready now, or the Zook family will disappear from this world.”

Jenny went limp and said, “No, this is blackmail!”

Sean picked up the envelope and saw the words “Spring Breeze Casino” on it. He widened his eyes in shock and gritted his teeth angrily.

When he looked at Jasmine again, there was no more pity in his eyes but only annoyance. He even wanted to strangle her. “This is the Spring Breeze Casino, Jasmine, you’ve lost all our family property.”

The bodyguard sneered, turned around, and left. Tll come by at this time tomorrow night to get the money

It finally started raining outside.

Splash!

The rain pattered on the ground, and the wind whistled across the earth. It sounded terrifying

Jenny said, “Honey, what should we do? 320 million dollar Even if we sell all our family property, we can’t even collect half of it. Besides, Jasmine is crazy now. She won’t achieve much in the future. Can we just call the police or even ignore this debt and sell our assets abroad?”

Sean frowned deeply, and his back seemed to be crushed by the sudden catastrophe. “Can we sell all our assets within 24 hours? Even if we can, can we escape from the Spring Breeze Casino’s hands and leave the country! Do you know what kind of place the Spring Breeze Casino i If we escape rashly, we might face the living hell

Jenny looked at the miserable Jasmine. The precious daughter whom she was worried about ten minutes ago now seemed like a hot potato.

It was still raining heavily. Madeline stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window and watched the rain outside.

A voice came from the other end of the phone. “Ms. Larson, Glorious Group has made its position clear recently. The Zook family hasn’t yet realized that all their businesses have collapsed. By the time they come to their senses, their family will go bankrupt soon.”

Gloria Gray, the assistant of Glorious Group’s CEO, continued, “But for some reason, the Zook family suddenly announced that they would sell off all their assets,”

Madeline raised her eyebrows. She wanted to bring down the Zook family because, firstly, Jasmine had repeatedly messed with her, and secondly, their family had offended her at the police station last time.

She wondered why the Zook family would suddenly want to sell off all their assets when they were in great trouble and what it was that she did not know yeL

It rained all night, and Madeline slepe–soundly. She liked listening to the sound of pouring rain while sleeping peacefully in the soft bed. It made her feel particularly safe. She would usually sleep really well at times like this.

People’s joys and sorrows were not shared.

Jasmine received treatment in the hospital overnight but didn’t register for admission. She was still crazy when she was taken home, talking to helf and crying all the time. No one dared to approach her.

Many people had gathered at the gate of the Zook residence. Sean sat at the head of the table in the living room, looking gloomy. He was dazed and

depressed. Jenny had cried all night, and her eyes were swollen.

“The guests are here. Let’s hurry and sell everything. Jenny could only accept their fate after knowing how powerful the Spring Breeze Casino was. At least she planned to sell their assets and tried to get away. If they succeeded, they could still live a good life abroad.

“Bad news!” The company manager rushed in, tripped over, and fell in the living room. He looked terrified, holding a pile of papers in his hand. “Sean, it’s over! The company’s assets have shrunk hundreds of times in the past few days. All the partner companies have sent us the contract

termination documents.”

Sean nearly collapsed. He slapped the table and stood up. “What did you say? Are they going to kick us when we are down because we want to sell off our property?”

“No, it started a few days ago. But there was a traitor in the company, who never r

reported it.” The manager was about to cry. “I only found out when

I went to check the company’s assets.

Jenny could not care less about her image. She sat on the floor and wailed.

The guests outside were still waiting to buy things. Sean and Jenny were heartbroken for a while but still put aside their emotions and braced themselves for it.

A bunch of people swarmed in and bargained hard. However, no one could afford to take over the big business of the Zook family.

At about 1 p.m., Madeline appeared. She was not wearing a T–shirt and shorts like she did at the police station the other day. Instead, she wore a very elegant dress. She was accompanied by Gloria, who was wearing neat makeup.

Jenny looked at the door with expectation. As soon as she saw it was Madeline, her face fell, and she pointed at Madeline. You country bumpkin! You’ve got the nerve to come and watch the drama unfold. Are you happy now? Let me tell you, we will still be better off than you no matter what. Even if you started working when you were very young, you wouldn’t be able to earn this much money.”

Gloria twitched her mouth. For a moment, she wondered whether Jenny was not right in the head. No one could take over the big business of the Zook family in such a short time, and finally, the rich and powerful Madeline came. She wondered why Jenny would speak rudely and drive away the most potential buyer.
