Chapter 434

The bodyguard couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Bush, are you that urgent?”

Jasmine glared at him, “Am la’criminal? You won’t even let me use the restroom?”

The bodyguard quickly waved his hands. “No, Miss Bush, you’ve got it wrong…”

“Then

hen keep your mouth shut!” Jasmine snapped angrily.

Being just an employee, the bodyguard didn’t dare to say more. He stayed quietly in place, knowing that as long as Jasmine didn’t leave the villa, there was no need to worry about where she might run off.

Jasmine didn’t go to the restroom but headed to the kitchen, She saw the s e r a n t keeping a close eye on the medicine jar and bit her lip. Then, an opportunity presented itself. The s e r v n t suddenly rushed off to the restroom. Jasmine thought, it’s the perfect timing!”

She entered the kitchen, intending to tamper with the tonic in the medicine jar. However, she opened the jar and realized she hadn’t brought anything. What now? Jasmine wanted to sabotage the tonic so that Ashley would believe Gina had done it and seek revenge on her. Jasmine glanced toward the restroom, worried the s r a n t might return suddenly, leaving her no time to act.

Jasmine anxiously looked around. Her gaze landed on a bottle of detergent.

Without hesitating, she grabbed the detergent and poured some into the medicine jar. Just then, Jasmine heard approaching footsteps. Panicking, she quickly left the kitchen. The ser

v a n t, engrossed in her phone, nearly bumped into Jasmine as she walked in.

Jasmine seized the initiative and said, “Watch where you’re going!”

The s r a n t was startled and dropped her phone. “Sorry, Miss Bush, I di

d n’t mean to,” she hastily apologized.

Jasmine tried to mask her guilt. “Where’s the restroom?”

The s r v a n t was stunned. “Oh? It’s over there, Miss Bush. Shall I show you?”

“No need,” Jasmine replied impatiently.

Speechless, the s va muttered once Jasmine had walked away, “What’s wrong with her?”

The bodyguard brought Susan to Ashley’s side. Ashley, who was no longer lying in bed, grabbed a glass from the bedside table and smashed it onto Susan’s head. Susan, already messy and dirty, immediately began bleeding from her head, screaming as she collapsed to the ground.

Ashley hadn’t calmed down yet. “You b**h! You caused me to miscarry. Even if I beat you to death, I won’t replace solace.”

Susan pleaded incessantly, “Miss Jackson, I didn’t mean to, I wanted to hit Cathy Fowler, not you. Spare me, please, spare me!”

Ashley, tired of hitting, instructed the bodyguard to continue instead. She didn’t want to hear Susan’s screams anymore and signaled for the bodyguard to take her away to continue the beating. “Just leave her broathing.” Ashley ordered.

Aher a while, the s r a n t brought the brewed tonic to Ashley. “Miss Jackson, here’s your tonic,” she said

Ashley took the tonic and found it strange; she asked, “Why is there so much foam?”

The s r v a n t, not understanding either, replied, “Maybe, perhaps, this is how the tonic is supposed to be. I followed the instructions to brew t

Ashley didn’t dwell on it too much. Perhaps the tonic was supposed to have feam? She assumed Gina wouldn’t have tampered with it, so she drank it directly.

Shortly after, the bodyguard walked in. “Miss Jackson, she’s unconscious.

“Get her out,” Ashley said.

“Okay.”

“Where’s Gina Miller?” Harry kicked Dylan’s office door open directly.

Dylan, who was reviewing medical records, was startled by the loud noise behind him.

Harry was furious. He strode forward and swept everything off Dylan’s desk. “I know you’re Gina Miller’s right-hand man at this hospital, so I demand you bring her to me. That b**h took 200 million dollars in consultation fees from me, and what did she give my daughter? Some worthless herbs landed her in the hospital, getting her gastric lavage. Get her here!” Harry knew that if he contacted Gina directly, she wouldn’t respond, and Gabriel would cover for her. So, he had to come to Dylan instead.

Dylan calmly looked at the s c a t te r e d files on the floor. “Mr. Jackson, please calm down first. There’s no way the medicine prescribed by Gina could be at

fault.”

Harry, consumed by concern for his daughter, exploded instantly. “What do you mean? Are you suggesting that we would fabricate stories and joke about my daughter’s health just to blackmail you? Is that what you’re implying?”

“I didn’t mean that. I want you to calm down,” Dylan replied.

“I don’t give a d a m n about being calm! It’s my daughter who’s in trouble!” Harry exploded, throwing a punch at Dylan’s face. “Are you still calm now? You’re Gina Miller’s lackey; see if I’ll kill you!” Harry vented his anger, pinning Dylan to the ground. “I told you to bring Gina Miller here; why are you talking so much nonsense?”

The commotion in the office caught the attention of passersby. Someone peeked in and screamed, “There’s a fight! Someone’s getting attacked!”

Gina arrived at Ashley’s ward. Ashley weakened from the gastric lavage, looked at Gina with resentment. “You want to harm me. What did you put in those herbs?”

Gina remained calm. “I couldn’t have added anything. Doing so would contaminate my herbs, which are very precious to me. I wouldn’t do such a thing. I’m not here to visit you but to tell you that your father intentionally assaulted Dr. Thomas, resulting in a broken nose. The police have been notified. Even if your father apologizes, Dr. Thomas refuses to settle, so your father will likely be detained.”

Ashley looked bewildered. She did not know about this incident. She thought Harry had only gone to bring Gina, not expecting that he had also assaulted someone and that the other party refused to settle. Has everyone gone insane?

Ashley thought, “Dylan Thomas dared to have my father detained? Do they think the Jackson family is easy to mess with?”

However, Ashley couldn’t deal with this matter at the moment. She needed first to clarify the issue of Gina’s alleged tampering with her herbs. “Gina Miller put this matter aside for now, and don’t bring up these irrelevant things. What you did is poisoning, and let me tell you, I can also call the police and sue you!” Ashley’s voice grew louder as she spoke, feeling increasingly dizzy and exhausted. She truly hated Gina. Ashley felt that everything was falling apart because of her. Ashley had been in good health, but now it was ruined because of Gina. Gina must be cursed, bringing misfortune to everyone around her. She was indeed a disaster, causing great harm.

The doctor who analyzed the medicine residue walked in. “Miss Jackson, we’ve identified the unusual component in the medicine residue. Hit’s a large amount of detergent.”
