"Has Max ever brought another woman to this house?" Jasmine asked.The maid shook her head. "No, Miss. You are the only woman brought here by Mr. Max.""Please be honest!" Jasmine exclaimed. She suspected that the maid at Max's house only wanted to cover up Max's character."Miss, I have told the truth. Mister Max only brought you," said the maid, looking at Jasmine.Seeing the look in the maid's eyes, Jasmine finally believed her words. "Okay, you can leave."The maid bowed and left Jasmine's room.Jasmine took a deep breath. She tried to enjoy her current situation while hoping Leon would come to save her. Her gaze shifted toward the balcony door. She got up from her seat and walked over to the balcony door. It seemed that seeing the stars in the sky would make her feel better.Jasmine had come to the edge of the balcony. Her hand touched the railing of the balcony, and her eyes scanned the surroundings. Jasmine's eyes immediately narrowed when she saw a man lying near the swimming
Max pulled Jasmine's hand so that her position became very close to him. The distance between their faces was only about 10 cm. Max's dark eyes glared at Jasmine."Jasmine, I've tried every way to get you back to me. But you never appreciated it one bit!" Max exclaimed.Jasmine averted her eyes from Max. With tears in her eyes, she whimpered in pain because the man gripped her hand even tighter."I won't let any man have you. You are only mine, and will only be mine!" Max exclaimed."Please let me go, Max!" Jasmine asked in a low voice."No way, Jasmine! You are only mine!"Max released his hand from Jasmine's. He left, closed Jasmine's bedroom door, and locked it. Jasmine ran toward the door and knocked on her bedroom door, hoping it would open."Max, please let me go! I want to get out of here!" she exclaimed.Max went downstairs and asked all the maids to come together. He would tell them important information."There are new rules in this house. You must lock Jasmine's bedroom doo
At dinner time, a maid came into Jasmine's room. "Good night, Miss Jasmine," said the maid, greeting Jasmine, but she only received a glance from the lady.She put down a tray containing Jasmine's food and a bouquet of tulips. She took Jasmine's lunch tray and saw that there was still a lot of food left. It seemed that Jasmine had only eaten a small portion of the food."Miss, Mr. Max sent a bouquet of flowers for you. He hopes you like it," said the maid."Tell him that I don't like it at all," Jasmine replied.The maid just smiled at Jasmine's answer. Of course, she would not dare convey this to Max."All right, Miss." The maid walked out of Jasmine's room.Jasmine took a deep breath. She couldn't stand being stuck in the room without anyone wanting to help her. In that sad moment, Jasmine thought of Leon."Does Leon not want to take me away from here?" muttered Jasmine.Jasmine got up from her bed and walked over to the table. She picked up a bouquet of tulips that were on the tabl
"Young Master, it's safe!" said a bodyguard watching the area around Max's house. They tried to infiltrate by climbing the fence on the side. One by one, the bodyguards climbed over the fence, and Leon was the last. "Let's go!" Leon asked the bodyguard to sneak into the house. There were guards at the post. They were not aware of the intruder's presence. Jasmine covered the bolster and pillow so that it was as if she were still sleeping in her bed. She opened the door and looked around. There's no one there. "I think it's safe. You can do it, Jasmine! I trust you! Leon is waiting for you." She locked her bedroom door again so that no one would suspect that she had left it. Jasmine walked at a brisk pace down the corridor. She descended the stairs quickly. Arriving downstairs, she saw two maids walking towards her. She quickly hid under the stairs. "Mr. Max loves Miss Jasmine very much, if that woman runs away, we will definitely be fired." "You are right. It seems that Mr. Max wo
All the maids in Max's house panicked. No one dared look Max in the face as he crossed their path. The man's sharp eyes seemed to demand responsibility for Jasmine's escape from her room."I've never seen Mr. Max be this angry.""How did she escape? While we've locked her room.""I'm sure it must be the intruder who took Miss Jasmine away."Amidst the restlessness of the maids, there was one maid who looked so calm. She didn't panic when she found out that Jasmine wasn't in her room. She was the maid who met Leon the day before Jasmine ran away."Thankfully, he must have managed to get Miss Jasmine away from here," the maid muttered. She saw the suffering in Jasmine's eyes, and knowing that she was free from Max made her very happy.Max went to the CCTV room to see the footage of Jasmine's escape. Max was shocked when he saw the CCTV in the corridor, where Jasmine was seen leaving her room without anyone's help. The girl was also seen locking her own bedroom door."Where did she get t
"I couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a mask, and I only saw it from the CCTV footage," explained Max. He sighed as he ruffled his hair."I think he is Jasmine's groom-to-be," Edward said without looking at Max. He was busy finishing his work."I have to find out about that man!" Max's determination."How did you find out about him? You only saw him from the CCTV footage, you have no idea how he looks like.""I will find him no matter what!" Edward's pessimistic words didn't break Max's determination to find out who the man who took Jasmine ran away from his house."If I were you, I would prefer to find another woman. I've said it many times, and maybe you're tired of hearing it too, but you're always desperate for her love. You always act like you're the ugliest guy in the world, and no one wants to be with you. Remember, Max, you are part of the Lackner family. Everyone in this city knows how honorable the Lackner family is!" This time Edward glared at Max, wishing his co
"Sir, you could enter the VIP room." The supervisor's voice averted Leon's gaze."Okay, I'll be right in there." Before entering the VIP room, he was curious about the two men who were with Claire. He tried to ask the supervisor about them."Do you know who the two men sitting over there are?" Leon asked."They are David Stern and Noah Hensen, sir.""Okay, thank you."Leon had heard of the two names, but he had never known how they looked before. He rushed to the VIP room he had reserved.Claire listened to the two men in front of her who were talking about business. She remembered that at the Jensen family's party, David and Noah looked interested in trying to establish a working relationship with her company.Claire knew the state of her company was now on the edge. But if she had the opportunity to work with a bigger company like the two men's, then her company could definitely be saved. There was nothing wrong with trying to offer cooperation directly with their company. "Why is
"Is she gone?" Leon asked the supervisor. He actually hasn't left the cafe yet, he's just in the VIP room. This luxury cafe was still under the auspices of the Jensen family company."He's gone, Young Master.""Okay. What made them fight?" Leon asked."Waiter said the two men were talking about her company going bankrupt. The woman was angry to hear it all," explained the supervisor.Leon took a deep breath. He knew his ex-wife was not well. But that was Claire's own choice. She was the one who chose to live without Leon.Claire tried to find a steady job. She couldn't survive by just working part-time at a florist and a donut shop. She was staring at her laptop, looking at job vacancy on a website."Being a receptionist?" Claire was interested in seeing a vacancy as a receptionist at a new hotel. The hotel would be opening soon, and they were looking for workers to fill each position.Without thinking much, Claire immediately sent a job application to the hotel. She kept praying that
