Chapter 160
Auntie Uly suddenly appeared from the direction of the kitchen, holding a cloth in her hand. Her face looked slightly hesitant, but she still spoke up. “Mr. Thom…,” she said softly, then glanced briefly at Rachel. “Last night, I saw Miss Jasmine leave with a large suitcase.”That statement instantly changed the atmosphere.Auntie Uly continued, now more clearly, “Right, Miss Rachel? I also don’t know where she was going. At that time, I wanted to ask, but I was already sleepy, so I went back to my room.”Thom was still standing in front of Jasmine’s room, his phone in his hand. The screen had just shown something that made his blood boil.But upon hearing Auntie Uly’s words, he slowly lifted his gaze… and looked at Rachel.That gaze was sharp.Just for a moment.But enough to say everything.In a single second, Thom immediately understood that Jasmine hadn’t left on her own.She was forced out. And the one who did it… was standing right in front of him—Rachel.Without saying anything
Chapter 159
Jasmine sat silently in the back seat of the taxi, her hands gripping her phone tightly. Tears streamed endlessly, soaking her cheeks that had already turned cold from the night air slipping through the crack in the window. Streetlights flickered past outside, casting fast-moving shadows across her face.She truly didn’t know where to go.Her phone screen lit up—Thom’s name displayed there. Her fingers trembled, hovering over the call button… then pulling back again. Her heart was at war.Should she contact Thom? Explain everything? Or… stay silent?Jasmine bit her lip, holding back a sob. The image of Rachel’s anger-filled face flashed vividly in her mind. That firm, cold voice still echoed.“You have to leave now. No need to say goodbye to Thom.”She lowered her head, hugging herself.Maybe Rachel was right that she didn’t deserve to be in that house.Thom… still had a wife. And she was just someone staying there, someone who had slowly begun to step too far without realizing it.
Chapter 158
Rachel walked quickly from the main gate of Amex Residence, her footsteps echoing loudly along the quiet road. Three minutes felt much longer than usual. The heels she wore had begun to torture her feet, but she kept forcing herself forward. The humid night air left her hair slightly messy, her makeup starting to fade, and a thin layer of sweat forming at her temples.“So embarrassing… truly embarrassing,” she muttered softly, her breath slightly uneven."FUCK!" Every step felt like a slap to her pride. She, Rachel, who had always maintained her appearance and status—now had to walk from the gate because Frank’s rental car was denied entry. Even the security guards had looked at her strangely earlier.Finally, she arrived in front of Thom’s house.The door opened, and the moment she stepped inside, the first thing she saw was Jasmine sitting casually on the sofa, watching television in a relaxed position—as if she were the lady of the house.In an instant, Rachel’s emotions exploded.

The encrypted message arrived within seconds. A soft notification sound echoed through Heramia’s luxurious penthouse. The tablet screen in front of her lit up, casting a cold glow onto her expressionless face. She didn’t move immediately. Her fingers tapped lightly against the marble table, rhythmic, as if counting something. Then, slowly, she picked up the tablet.The photos appeared—clear, sharp, undeniable. A woman in the front seat. Elegant. Calm. Beautiful. A small child in the back seat. Vulnerable. Helpless.Heramia’s lips curved slightly. “So… this is the weakness,” she murmured softly.One of her subordinates stood nearby, head slightly bowed. “Yes, Miss. The woman has been identified as Jasmine. And the child, Shenina—Thom Haye’s daughter. Our team has been following them since they left the venue.”Heramia zoomed in on the image of Shenina’s sleeping face. Her gaze was cold, calculating. “Perfect,” she said quietly.The man hesitated for a moment. “Do we move now?”Her

Frank frowned, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. “Huh? See you next week? What do you mean?” he asked, his tone rising half an octave, as if he couldn’t believe someone dared to challenge him tonight.Thom looked at him calmly, a faint smile still lingering on his lips. “What do you think?”Frank let out a short laugh, but it sounded forced. “I think you’re just bluffing. You’re jealous of me, Thom. You don’t want to lose, that’s why you’re talking as if you’ll be at the White House next week. Right?” He crossed his arms, his chest puffing out even wider. “That’s impossible. Who do you think you are? You won’t be able to enter the White House! Even its security is tighter than a king’s palace. Who do you think you are? A former soldier who suddenly became a star overnight?”Guests at nearby tables began to glance over, but Thom remained unfazed. He simply shrugged lightly. “We’ll see in a week, brother.”The word “brother” came out casually, almost friendly, but there was someth
Chapter 155
The woman’s name was Heramia. She was 30 years old. The glass of red wine in her hand swirled slowly, the liquid shifting like thickened blood. The screen replayed Thom Haye’s speech—his figure stood straight at the podium, his voice calm yet commanding the VIP room of the King of War’s birthday party.Heramia Rolland, known as the criminal princess who ruled Brazam County. Brazam County was not a place for the weak. There, bandits roamed like wolves, drug and weapons trafficking flowed like rivers, and the law was nothing more than an expensive joke.She slammed the glass onto the marble table until it shattered. Shards of glass glittered across the floor like blood crystals. “Of course I will take revenge,” she said coldly, her voice trembling with restrained fury. “I didn’t expect the one who destroyed my family to be such a handsome man who looks so weak.” “He’s a former soldier? Loyal to the country? I’m sure he’ll crumble easily if I give him enough money. Then, I’ll kill hi
