Chapter 483 Homing
Jasmine was baffled after listening to Gwendolyn She met thetter’s gaze and asked, “Gwendolyn,
are you joking with me? How could Craig imprison our mother or even inject her with some kind of
medication? You don’t understand. My mother has a peculiar temperament She doesn’t like to go out
most of the time and would only be reluctantly persuaded by Craig to attend some functions. She also
doesn’t care about her children’s affairs, remaining indifferent all the time and would only listen to
Craig”
Gwendolyn sighed and patiently exined to Jasmine, “Exactly. Don’t you think it’s strange that your
mother only listens to Craig?”
“This…” Jasmine stared at her in a daze.
Gwendolyn continued, “Jennifer has been dating Treyton for over a year, and their rtionship is quite
stable. However, during the Newton family’s homing feast, she publicly acknowledged her
engagement to the Abbot family, unable to recognize Treyton and me, and only knew Craig. Don’t you
find her condition simr to your mother’s?”
Jasmine fell silent and carefully mulled over Gwendolyn’s words. Whenever Mother made an
appearance at formal events, she did seem to focus only on Craig…
Jasmine’s face turned ashen in utter shock. She couldn’t imagine Craig would do something like that.
Gwendolyn held her hand, trying to persuade Jasmine, “Jasmine, what he did is illegal and should be
condemned. Help me once more. You’ll also be doing the Newton family and mother a favor. What do
you say?”
Jasmine trembled all over. She had yet to recover from learning that appalling news. “W- What do you
need me to do?”
“Find a way to go to the top floor and locate the serum that Craig injects your mother with, then bring
the serum to me.”
Jasmine withdrew her hand and shook her head firmly. “I can’t. Craig keeps a tight watch over the top
floor. I have no chance of getting up there. He’s now the person in charge of the Newton family, and his
mood hasn’t been goodtely, so he has been losing his temper frequentlytely. If I identally
expose myself, he will certainly punish me severely. I dare not do this.”
Gwendolyn desperately tried to reassure Jasmine. “Don’t worry. I will help you. I won’t let you get hurt.
Do you wish to see your mother continue to be tortured and controlled by him?”
“I-I don’t know…” Tears brimmed in Jasmine’s eyes as panic gripped her heart.
Caylie had never cared about Jasmine since her birth. Therefore, Jasmine never experienced any
maternal love, receiving only affection from her father and elder brothers.
As a result, she didn’t harbor deep feelings for her mother, let alone be willing to undertake an
impossible task for thetter. Jasmine could never bring herself toply with Gwendolyn’s request.
“I can’t do it. I really can’t” She covered her head in agony. “I know Jennifer is physically fit, capable of
climbing walls to the top floor previously, but I can’t. I can only ess the area through the metal gates,
and the only two keys to unlock the door are in the hands of Craig and the butler. They guard the keys
very strictly, so I won’t have any chance toy my fingers. on them. I’m sorry, Gwendolyn. I can’t help
you with this. I really don’t dare, nor am I equipped with the abilities to do so!”
Gwendolyn looked down and let out a long sigh. “That’s all right. I won’t force you.”
At the thought of her frightening elder brother, Craig, Jasmine would still shudder all over. She gritted
her teeth and said, “Gwendolyn, rest assured. I will keep this matter a secret and pretend as if I’ve not
heard a thing. I won’t stop you from doing anything, but I just hope you don’t drag me into this. I’m
scared.”
“Okay.” Gwendolyn patted the back of Jasmine’s hand. “Didn’t Craig tell you to check on Jennifer’s
condition? Let’s go. I’ll bring you upstairs to see her. If you don’t actually take a look, he might find fault
with you when you return.”
“Thank you, Gwendolyn.”
The two went up to the guest room. At that moment, Jennifer was still in a deep sleep. Brian had
administered a mood-stabilizing injection to Jennifer following Joshua’s instruction.
Treyton kept watch at her side. Having stayed awake for two nights without getting any quality sleep,
dark circles had formed under his bloodshot eyes.
Jasmine wasn’t fond of Jennifer, so she merely nced at thetter briefly before taking her leave.
Only after Jasmine left did Gwendolyn release the two bodyguards Craig had assigned to her from the
basement.
However, due to Jasmine’s refusal this time, Gwendolyn’s progress was once again stalled.
She went to the fourth floor and apanied Zoey to watch the babies for a while.
The two adorable babies were smiling sweetly, the epitome of pure and innocent ages.
Gwendolyn caressed their faces affectionately, hoping her babies could remain in that carefree manner
forever.
At the thought of the situation at the Newton residence, she furrowed her brows again, at a loss of what
to do Jasmine unt willing to help, so there’s no way I can prate the deeper parts of The Newton
rendence.
While she carefully considered her options, her phone suddenly rang. Gwendolyn saw it was a call
from Angle’s Joanne.
Having been busy with Treyton’s predicament recently, she hadn’t managed Angle’s business. for a
long time.
Once the call connected, Joanne cut to the chase. “Ms. Harris, a gentleman with the surname “Newton’
wishes to see you today. I’ve arranged for him to wait inside the reception room. Would you like to meet
him?”
A gentleman with the surname “Newton?” Gwendolyn was bewildered. There are only two Mr. Newtons
left in the Newton family now. Cedrick has ced Craig under house arrest to let thetter reflect on his
mistakes. Therefore, there’s no way he can simply leave the house and request to meet with me at
Angle. In that case, could the person be Lucas? But I’m not familiar with him. Why would he want to
see me?
“Ms. Harris, would you like to meet him?” Joanne asked again after not hearing Gwendolyn’s reply for a
while.
Gwendolyn, feeling a little wary, probed further, “Which Mr. Newton is that?”
Joanne answered, “I don’t know. He didn’t mention his full name and just said that he’s an old friend of
yours.”
An old friend? Gwendolyn couldn’t help but be reminded of the man who stayed in the faraway country
abroad. Is he back?
“Okay. I got it. Tell him to wait for a while. I’ll hurry over in an hour.” After hanging up the call,
Gwendolyn pecked a kiss on both babies’ cheeks before she hastily went downstairs and left the
house.
Just as she arrived at the garage, she saw Cedrick returning in the car he drove out earlier in the
morning.
Cedrick brought his luxury car to a steady halt before her and rolled down the window, revealing his
extraordinarily handsome facial features. “Are you heading out, Darling? I happen to be free, so would
you like to head out together?”
Gwendolyn arched her brow ever so slightly. “You’re telling me you happen to be free when there are
so many matters you have to attend to at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Jenson Group? You
deliberately came to check on me, didn’t you?”
Cedrick didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he got out of the car, walked around the vehicle to the
passenger side, and opened the car door for her. Then, he ushered her into the vehicle in a gentle
manner. “Let me be your driver today, Darling”
Gwendolyn didn’t refuse, allowing him to help her fasten her seatbelt.
He started the luxury car and drove smoothly out of the Jenson residence with his good driving skill
Gwendolyn uttered. “Let’s go to Angle.”
“Understood.”
Not long after, the two arrived at Angle.
Through the hazy ss of the reception room, Gwendolyn saw a figure that seemed familiar yet
somehow not, sitting with his back to her.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
She trained her eyes on the figure while pushing the door to the reception room open.
Cedrick suddenly grasped her hand, seemingly intent on staking his im on her, but she didn’t stop
him.
The two entered the room together.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man inside the reception room turned around.
