Colin was still puzzled about how Gina managed to pull it off. He didn’t want to give her another chance to scam him out of a fortune. Although reluctant, he sneered and said, “I’m not interested in replaceing out. Just leave.”

The five bodyguards blocking the door stepped aside, clearing a path. With the air of a victor, Gina curved her lips into a slight smile and left gracefully.

As soon as Gina left, Elaine couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, “Brother, did you just say 500 million dollars? You gave Gina 500 million dollars?”

Elaine pondered, ‘That b i t h, isn’t she supposed to be rich? Didn’t she say she didn’t care about money before? How could she change her tune so quickly?” Elaine was fumed with anger.

Colin felt a pang of regret about the 500 million dollars he had given away. Trying to console himself, he said, “There was no other choice. If I didn’t give it to her, she wouldn’t come to treat you.”

Elaine felt both angry and touched. She was angry at Gina’s outrageous demand but deeply moved by Colin’s willingness to spend money on her treatment. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Brother, you’re the best in the world! You treat me so well.”

Colin smiled and gently patted Elaine on the head. “You’re my sister, Who will I treat you well if I don’t?”

After comforting Elaine, Colin called his subordinate, “Find out what Gina is doing with my money

“Got it!”

Jasmine was in a hysterical frenzy in the Bush family, smashing things in her room. The news of Gabriel’s impending engagement to Gina spread, and Jasmine felt like she was losing her mind. Between tears and curses, Jasmine exclaimed, “Gina Miller, that b i tc h! Why does she get to? Why won’t she die? Why!” After wrecking the room, Jasmine collapsed amidst the chaos, sobbing uncontrollably..

Hearing the commotion, Jabari came over to see what was happening. He found Jasmine in a fit of rage, and it infuriated him, too. He appbached her and Lightly grasped her arms. “Have you lost your mind, Jasmine? Do you realize that you look crazy right now? Are all the men in the world dead? Do you have to cling to Gabriel like this? You’re acting like you’re truly despicable.”

Jasmine was furious at Jabari’s harsh words and slapped him. “Who do you call despicable, Jabari? You b a s a r d! I’m your sister, and you dare to insult me like this? The real despicable one is Gina Miller! Gabriel and I have been childhood sweethearts, a perfect match. It’s all because of her deliberate seduction to Gabriel.”

As Jasmine spoke, she flailed her arms wildly. Jabari couldn’t dodge in time and had a scratch on his neck. Jabari winced in pain and covered his neck. Despite the injury, he didn’t want to escalate things with Jasmine and chose not to retaliate. Jabari had initially intended to help her up, but seeing her in such a crazed state, he couldn’t help but feel unusually angry. He decided to let it be and stood up, saying, “Have you not realized the situation? It’s Gabriel who actively pursued Gina. Yes, he’s known you since childhood, but he’s always been distant, right? All this time, it’s been your one-sided affection!”

“Shut up, just get out! Get out!” Jasmine covered her ears, refusing to hear Jabari’s words, dismissing the facts he presented.

“You’re determined to live in your delusions forever, Jasmine Bushi” Jabari said, frustrated. “And also, until their engagement banquet ends, I won’t

Jabari turned and left abruptly, leaving a deeply saddened Jasmine trailing behind. It took her a moment to register what he meant-restricting har? Why? Jasmine immediately stood up. “Why do you have the right to imprison me? I won’t stand for this! I refuse to be confined at home!”

Jaban had already made up his mind without even glancing back at Jasmine in his eyes, Jasmine nad reached a point of irration en m t a l in stability. While it was undeniable that Gabriel was exceptionally charming and desirable, not being with him wasg lamented over for a lifetime. The engagement between Gabriel and Gina was already at th

received one, mainly because of Jasmine. Firstly, her relentless pursuit of Gabriel could lead to a scene at the engagement banquet. Secondly, Jasmine’s previous unintentional actions had caused Neil to end up in the hospital; despite apologies and attempts to make amends, it had strained the relationship between the two families. Jabari’s decision to restrict Jasmine’s movements showed remarkable foresight.

As Jasmine caught up, she was greeted by Jabari’s resounding slam of the door shut. She tried to twist the doorknob forcefully, but it wouldn’t budge. Jabari had locked it from the dutside. “What are you doing, Jabari Bush? Let me out! I won’t stay here! Doing like this is illegal confinement! Let me out, let me out!” Jasmine screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice h o a r s e with desperation.

Ignoring Jasmine, Jabari stood outside the room and felt a faint ache from the scratch on his neck. He decided to tend to it and went to get some medication.

Hannah rushed to the scene upon hearing the commotion. Worried and distressed to hear Jasmine banging forcefully on the door, she feared Jasmine might hurt hersell. Hannah attempted to go and open the door but was swiftly intercepted by the alert Jabari. “Mom, what are you doing?” he asked, stopping her in her tracks.

Hannah ignored Jabari’s attempt to stop her and tried to push past him. “Are you going to be this rough and lock your sister inside? What if she hurts herself? And if the Jackson family hasn’t invited us, Jasmine won’t be able to attend the engagement banquet anyway.”

“Who said not having an invitation means she can’t get in? Don’t you know y your daughter has plenty of tricks?” Jabari countered.

Hannah felt that sneaking in without an invitation was something Jasmine would not do.

“She’s lost her mind now. Who knows what she might do? Mom, please, listen to me this time. You’ve always spoiled her too much, shielding her from rejection and disappointment. It’s led to her becoming overly obsessed. If you continue to indulge her, and she causes a scene at Gabriel’s engagement banquet, it could completely ruin the relationship between the Jacksons and the Bushes families. Is that what you want?”

At this point, Hannah couldn’t help but waver. She didn’t want the relationship between the Jacksons and the Bushes families to rupture; it would harm the Bush family. With a heavy heart, Hannah finally made the difficult decision and refrained from opening the door. She could only hear Jasmine’s desperate cries from inside, which tore at her heartstrings. “This is agonizing, truly agonizing!” she said, her eyes welling up with tears..

Hannah thought, “Perhaps Jasmine’s fate was destined to face such a tribulation! Gina was indeed a calamity befalling my daughter! It’s truly despicable!”

“Alright, you don’t need to stay here anymore. Go and do whatever you need to do,” Jabari said.
