Chapter 332 Annabelle's Calculations Begin Again
The Jasmine's Residence.
Ever since the Cunningham Group took over the Westing Town project, Evan has been feeling disheartened.
The main reason for this project being taken away was Jasmine.
At first, the Wilson Residence didn't know that Jasmine had taken away the project. They only knew that Jasmine was now at the Cunningham Group, with Nolan protecting her.
He used to think Jasmine didn't have much going on, and he never told them either, so they didn't really care.
"How long has Evan been away from home?" Karen sat wearily on the sofa, shuttling between the hospital and home. "Serena still hasn't woken up. They are both causing so much worry."
Benjamin looked visibly upset, leaning restlessly on the sofa. "Alright, don't complain all day long."
"Are you annoying me now? Since May's car accident, have you looked at your face, feeling particularly sad? Back then, when I insisted on suing her, you disagreed. You brought your mistress home and maliciously took away my daughter! Let me raise her daughter all these years!"
Karen screamed uncontrollably, looking at Benjamin as if she had gone mad. "Serena is gone today, and it's all because of you! How dare you complain to me? How dare you!"
"Stop holding grudges, don't push people to the edge, and Serena wouldn't be where she is today!" Benjamin said angrily, "Look at yourself now. You're just like a bitter woman!"
Karen's fingers were trembling. "I raised my daughter for twenty-one years. I cherished her for those years! And she turned out to be that woman's daughter. How can I not hate?!"
Benjamin hummed and fell silent.
Karen sat on the couch, her breathing a bit difficult. "Jasmine's nothing but trouble. She's in trouble in our home. May is gone; why isn't she gone, too?"
"You, now, have completely twisted things." Benjamin tapped the table and got up to leave.
"What? Are you feeling uncomfortable because she's your mistress's daughter? She has no blood relation to you. Do you think she's your daughter?" Karen ranted furiously. "I should have someone kill her. Otherwise, my hatred will never be resolved."
"She has occupied twenty-one years of Serena's life, but it's not all her fault. You've already ruined her life. Do you really want her life now? Back then, when I disagreed to let her donate her kidney to you, you acted like you were dying. What crazy thing do you want to do now?" Benjamin thought Karen had gone mad.
She was a completely uncontrollable madness.
"You protect her for May, okay? You treat your mistress well; I am going crazy; you all are driving me crazy; my daughter is still unconscious in the hospital!"
Karen cried out as she sat on the couch.
Benjamin sighed and shook his head as he walked away. "Retribution, this is my retribution!"
The family, now shattered, was already falling apart.
These were all mistakes he made when he was young!
"Mrs. Karen, Annabelle from the Harper Family is here. She mentioned she's sorry about the Serena’s incident and wants to see you." Just as Benjamin left, the nanny came in to inform Karen about Annabelle's arrival.
Karen's face darkened. "Get her out of here! This shameless person dares to come here!"
She stole Serena's fiancé; how dare she!
If it weren't for Annabelle and Daniel colluding, Carmen, that despicable woman, aiding and abetting, and Howard shirking responsibility, her daughter wouldn't have had the accident downstairs at the Douglasfamily building. She's still unconscious and hasn't woken up until now.
"Annabelle said there is something about Jasmine that she needs to tell you. She mentioned the current situation at the Wilson Residence today, including Serena's car accident, which may all be related to Jasmine," the nanny said nervously.
Karen clenched her fists, the anger making it hard for her to breathe. "Huh, would she be so kind?"
Outside the door, Annabelle walked in and smiled at Karen. "Karen, don't be angry. I came here for your family as well."
Karen snorted. "Are you really that kind-hearted?"
"Daniel still has feelings for Serena. I also feel guilty about her ; that's why I wanted to tell you the truth," Annabelle walked into the living room and spoke again, "Jasmine intentionally instigated the project in Westing Town to provoke Nolan, taking away your family’s project, causing heavy losses for the Wilsons , and leaving Evan devastated.
"When Jasmine was released from prison, she immediately started scheming. I found out that someone was helping her behind the scenes, stirring up public opinion for her, and helping her get close to Ethan. Everything she did was for revenge, revenge against the Douglasfamily and also against the Wilson. When it comes to dealing with Jasmine, we are still on the same page." Annabelle spoke with deep meaning.
Karen snorted. "Just her?"
"Do not underestimate her . The fact that she has made it this far after being released from prison shows that the person behind her is powerful. They operate in the shadows while we are in the light. If we do not unite and work together to get rid of Jasmine, we might not have a good outcome." Annabelle looked at Karen. "Moreover, Jasmine's abilities go beyond this. She was able to make Ethan completely devoted to her."
"Ethan? The current Ethan, what's he even considered now?" Karen sneered. "You've pushed Ethan to this point. Are you afraid he won't fight back?"
"Everyone widely recognizes Ethan's abilities. He was in the process of starting a business. Once he gains momentum, he will come back even stronger. At that point, we will have a harder time controlling Jasmine."
Annabelle spoke with deep meaning.
"Are you telling me this to get me to help you deal with Ethan and Jasmine?" Karen looked at Annabelle.
"I heard that you and Alex from the Everharts in Maple Grove used to be childhood sweethearts," Annabelle said with a smile.
Alex used to be a poor boy, the son of a maid in Karen's family. Karen and Alex grew up together and had a romantic relationship when they were young. However, when The Stevensfamily found out about it, they forced Alex to leave Silverlight City and start a business in Maple Grove. It was during the toughest times that he met his current wife, who was by his side, supporting him in building his fortune.
He had achieved today's success.
But he still had some feelings for his first love, so that's why Annabelle came to find Karen today.
The Everharts’ investment, she was determined to secure it no matter what.
This related to whether she could take over the shares of the Cunningham's Group from Willian.
"Alex?" Karen paused for a moment, the name sounding somewhat distant to her.
However, Alex owed her a favor, so if she asked, Alex would consider it. "Why should I help you?"
"Helping me is helping yourself, Jasmine and Ethan went to great lengths to please the Everharts, all in order to secure an investment from them. Once Ethan rides this wave to success, our fate..."
Karen squinted her eyes and clenched her fists. " Annabelle, you do have quite the ambition."
"If you help me, I will naturally help you," Annabelle said as she handed her business card to Karen. The Douglas Family Group and Jasmine's Residence can still collaborate well and be mutually beneficial. I can also assist you in getting rid of Jasmine and resolving any lingering grievances."
The Cunningham Group.
Nolan was looking at some documents when the secretary burst in excitedly. "Nolan! Nolan, we're bidding on the project for Crestwood Development Group! And we got it! Thirty-six companies competed, but our proposal was chosen. They picked only us!"
Nolan was stunned for a moment. Then, he couldn't help but admire Jasmine.
Then, he began to think about the promise of buying a house.
