Chapter 239 The Past, The Present And The Future
As expected, two hours after Jasmine left the mall, Lawrence had already taken action.
And he appeared at the gate of the villa three hours later.
"Lawrence, I didn't expect you to come so soon." Jeffery, John, Caleb and others were standing at the gate, while Rachel went to
arrange for someone to ambush in every corner of the villa. Sharon was accompanying Jasmine in the room on the second floor.
Lawrence sneered. His gentle eyes instantly turned vicious. He looked at the people in front of him with a murderous look.
"Jeffery, we never crossed the line before. You should give me an explanation for letting someone take my fiancée away today."
"Take away? Are you sure you didn't use the wrong words? Are you sure that the woman inside is your fiancée, not someone
else's wife?" Jeffery said sarcastically, "Besides, you said that we never crossed the line before? I'd like to ask you! Did you blow
Mongolia up?"
Jeffery was sure that it was Lawrence who did that.
Lawrence chuckled and didn't care at all.
"I did it! So what? If you have the ability, you can revenge. Hand her over quickly, or I will teach you a lesson!" As soon as he
finished speaking, more than twenty men in black held guns and pointed at the villa.
It was as if as long as they said no, he would immediately raze this place.
Lawrence was not easy to deal with, so were them!
Threats were useless to them!
"I won't let her go. What can you do to me? Even if we all die today, it doesn't matter. We all have to die. It's good to have so
many people buried with us. Most importantly, don't forget that your so-called fiancée is still up there."
"You..."
Lawrence gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger to the bottom of his heart.
Since there was no result in the direct negotiation, they should not blame him for being ruthless.
Seeing Lawrence leave angrily, John said, "He is really a coward. I thought I could have a good fight."
Caleb said, "Do you want to die? Look at your lame leg. Take care of yourself first."
John discontentedly said, "I am limping, but I can hold the gun."
Caleb rolled his eyes at him, "You can't even run away from him. You can be a shooting target."
John and Caleb bickered. Jeffery was lost in thought.
After a while, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "Well, that's enough. Get inside. Lawrence was not as simple as you think. There
must be something wrong with him since he could leave so easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden gunshot. Jeffery and the others immediately cheered up. Jeffery ran into
the villa first, while Caleb helped John and ran after him.
When Jasmine and Sharon heard the gunshot, they became anxious. As soon as they looked up, they saw a person falling down
from the roof. Sharon immediately ran to the window and saw a man in black was shot in the head and fell into the garden.
Although she had known John for more than three years, she had never experienced such a gunfight.
Seeing that Jasmine sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, she walked towards her with a nervous and timid look
and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. It's okay. They are all here. They will protect us."
Her voice was trembling, and so was her hand on Jasmine's shoulder.
Jasmine looked up at the medicine bottle on the bedside table. While gently massaging the arm of Mark, she said in a low voice,
"It's not the first time I've seen such a scene. A few days before I came back, someone wanted to kill me on the street. If Mark
didn't save me, I would have been the one who died on the street that day."
Sharon looked at her in astonishment. She thought Jasmine would be scared, but she didn't expect her to be so calm and
composed.
Jasmine looked sideways at her and continued, "In fact, I think I'm pathetic. You all said that I'm Jessie, the woman that Mark
loves most, but in my memory, I don't even have a slightest impression of him. But the person who exists in all my memories
couldn't give me the life I want." Although Lawrence was very good to her and took good care of her, he was also gradually
encroaching on her life. He even hoped that she would only have him in her life.
In fact, in the face of Lawrence who said that he would love her with his life, in her heart, there was an unspeakable bitterness
and depression.
She didn't know whether it was a good thing or not. But in her heart, she always felt that she was not willing to do so. Especially
when they were closer, she felt a sense of relief when she refused him instinctively.
Sharon didn't know what to say. It seemed that she was miserable.
After all, she and Mark had loved each other before the accident.
However, it seemed that love in this world could only be regarded as true love if there were some intricate and unforgettable
stories.
She tried to comfort Jasmine, "Jessie, I'd better call you Jasmine." Sharon said with a bitter smile. She didn't know what to call
her now. "I think you don't have to care too much about something. In fact, most of the time, letting nature take its course is a
way to solve the problem. Just like now, although you have forgotten everything in the past, and now you have a very stable
relationship. I know in your heart that you also want to know what your past is like, even if we tell you what happened in the past,
it is not your own memory. You still can't understand the previous feelings. I think you'd better be relieved and do what you
should do. Just do what you want to do according to your own heart. Remember, we are not living in the past or the future. We
should seize the moment."
"Seize the moment?"
Jasmine looked at Sharon suspiciously, and then looked away, lost in thought.
What could she do now? Was there anything she could be sure of?
She had lost her past, and now she was in a mess. The future... What could it be?
Jasmine's mind was in a mess.
Outside the room, there were still gunshots, but inside the room, it was quiet, like two different worlds.
All of a sudden, the door was opened and John limped in. He looked around the room and asked, "Are you all right?"
Seeing that Sharon shook her head, John immediately felt relieved. He said arrogantly, "You don't know how cunning Lawrence
is. He pretended to give up and turned around to attack us. Fortunately, Rachel had everything prepared in the morning, or
something must have happened today. You don't know how happy Rachel was when she was fighting back and shooting them. If
my legs weren't injured, I would have killed them all."
"Ahem!" After clearing her throat, Sharon looked up at John. John was confused and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Sharon was speechless. She really doubted that the man in front of her, who was said to have high EQ and IQ, was a fool!
Her face darkened in an instant. She glanced at him, gritted her teeth and said, "John, you are an idiot!"
