The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 127 It depends on her will to live.
In the early morning, one of the security men rang the bell. Jerome, a light sleeper, woke up, clearly annoyed.“My wife is asleep; why are you ringing the doorbell at this hour? It's 5:00 a.m.”“I'm sorry, boss, but I need to show you something. Miss Jasmine…” the leader was still in shock."What happened to Jasmine?" Jerome thought she was found."At the entrance," he pointed. Jerome walked to the entrance and saw Jasmine's lifeless body lying on the floor. "Hurry, and call the doctor." Jerome wanted to get her out before his wife saw her.“Boss, she is already dead,” the bodyguard said.“Shut up!” He roared.“What's going on here?” They heard Eleanor's sleepy voice. Startled, Eleanor had been sleeping lightly since Jasmine went missing.“No…” Jerome tried to say something. The bodyguard quickly blocked her view, but one person couldn't block the view of a grown woman. She saw the leg of the lady. Before they could stop her, she had already walked to the body.“Jasmine, no, Jasmine.
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 128 A moment of happiness
Jerome sighed. The old woman was right. What if…, no,” he shook his head. He would do anything to protect his child and Eleanor.Jerome called one of the men who were on duty that night. “What were you doing when this happened? I told you to guard the house, and you all fell asleep.The bodyguard lowered his head and responded, "We all fell asleep after the food we ate.”Jerome didn't expect this answer. “ If what you are saying is true, then it means the person has infiltrated the camp. He knows all our moves.”"Yes, boss. That was what I thought.”"I see. You can leave." Jerome didn't blame them. Since the food was drugged, it was inevitable. He felt deeply in thought. After thinking deeply, he called Bright. “I need you to make a thorough investigation of all the cooks. Find out about the background of each of the cooks. I need it now.” His eyes were cold as he clenched his fist tightly to the phone.“Alright, boss." The information had already reached Bright, so he didn't ask. Aft
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 129 The fight.
The blond-haired guy held his hands and asked, “Boy, where are you going?"He was curious. "Of course, to chat with the beauty,” the brown-haired guy said with a confident look. He was handsome and wealthy, always getting any woman he set his eyes on, sure it would be easy to get her. It is just like killing an ant. He held out his hands as he walked to her, ready to offer a friendly handshake. "Hi beauty," he said with a smile.“Hi," Rosca responded indifferently. Her motive for coming here was to flirt with boys, but now she wasn't in the mood. She wanted to be alone to enjoy the lyrics of the song playing.The man was dissatisfied with her attitude. Usually, girls would try their best to show their feminine side, some looking seductive when he approached. Why is she different? It was like he wasn't welcome. “I can see you came alone. Let's drink together," the brown-haired man said, calling for the bartender and ordering the same mineral as Rosca.Rosca was getting more frustrated
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 130 Teaching the scumbag a lesson
As the blond-haired man approached Rosca and her friend, he looked her up and down, appraising her like a piece of meat. The way he stared made her feel objectified and uncomfortable. “Hey moron, are you captivated by my beauty?" Rosca scoffed.The blond-haired man pointed an accusatory finger at her, his teeth clenched in rage. 'You...!' he sputtered, unable to finish the sentence. His face was flushed with anger, and Rosca could see the veins on his neck throbbing.Rosca held her head high like a proud peacock, “What have I done? Did I say anything wrong? Aren't you a moron?" She wasn't ready to back down.Bright sat there in a relaxed manner, sipping on his drink and watching the show with interest. Rosca was more intriguing than he could have imagined.The blond-haired man was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he struggled to contain his rage. He balled his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white as he clenched them. Rosca could see that he was on the

Rosca was not in the mood again. She decided to go home. She got out of the bar and met Bright at the entrance. Bright stared back at her with his hands in his pocket. He didn't know what to say to her. When Rosca saw Bright, she stopped and said, “Oh it's you." Bright lifted an eyebrow and said, “Of course it's me! Who else would it be?” He paused, then continued, “But I didn't know you were such a skilled fighter. No wonder you're so brave!” He sounded impressed, and a hint of admiration crept into his tone."Rosca was taken aback. "So you saw what was happening and didn't intervene? As a gentleman, shouldn't you have come to my aid?” She sounded indignant, her voice laced with disappointment. “That's why I say you're so uncivilized!”Bright shrugged nonchalantly. “Well, I've always known I lack manners, so it's no surprise to me. Besides, it's a good thing you can defend yourself. Otherwise, I might have just stood by and watched them hurt you.” Rosca clenched her teeth in frust
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 132 The new maid.
“Why did you do that?" Rosca asked.“Did what?" Bright sounded confused.Rosca rolled her eyes and said, “Why did you insist on giving me a lift."Bright finally understood her, “Did you think you would go scot-free after you hurt them? Eleanor has been struggling to be happy recently; I don't want her to worry again."For some reason, Rosca felt disappointed. “It seems she thought too much. He only insisted on giving her a lift because of Eleanor." She said nothing and looked outside.A short notification popped up on Bright's phone. He opened the message. It was the resume of a maid. After going through the resume, he realized she was suitable for the job. She was cute, and judging by her smile, she looked friendly. Baby Ava would love her. He quickly forwarded the message to Jerome. After some investigation, they concluded that she was suitable for the job. Her name was Joan Cloak, and Jerome gave Bright the go-ahead to hire her. Bright sent a notification to the lady that she was
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 133 His Sucden visit.
Jerome arrived at the office early in the morning, before any of the other employees. He asked the security guard on duty to keep his arrival a secret. He went straight to his office and began reviewing the documents that had accumulated while he was away. As he worked, he began to wonder how the employees had performed during his absence. So, he decided to sneak into the control room to observe them.When Jerome entered the control room, he was shocked to see that all the workers were asleep. None of them were on duty, and they were completely oblivious to his presence. He stared at them in disbelief, his eyes cold and unforgiving. No one could guess what he was thinking as he silently observed the scene. Without waking them, he took out his phone and started recording a video of the sleeping workers. Then, he turned his attention to the security footage. He watched in frustration as the hours ticked by and no one arrived for the morning shift.As Jerome stood there, his eyes cold an
The Resurgence Of The Lost Heir Chapter 134 Unexpected meeting
The employees huddled together, their faces wet with tears. Each of them felt a sense of regret, wishing they had not come in late. But now, it was too late to take back their actions. They knew that if they approached the boss and complained, they would be fired for their insubordination. Their carefully laid plans for their budgets were now in shambles, and they felt helpless and overwhelmed.As soon as Jerome had left the room, he instructed Bright to call an emergency meeting. The higher-ups were caught off guard by this unexpected meeting. They were used to having more time to prepare for meetings, but this time, they had no warning. Some of them were shaking with fear, not knowing what to expect. They knew that when the boss called an emergency meeting, it was never a good sign. Even though he called for an emergency when he was on leave, it wasn't as frightening as it was now.The temperature in the meeting room was noticeably colder than usual, adding to the already tense atmo

TWO DAYS LATERIt's been two days, and the news about Jerome's disappearance is everywhere. TV stations are reporting on it every hour, making it the hot topic of the city. The police have been working non-stop to find any traces of Jerome, but so far, there's been no progress.In the Cadell's mansion that evening, Steve and Gaius were present, visiting frequently. The old master, however, was visibly distressed, sighing every few seconds out of worry and fear."Is there anywhere else you think he might be?" the old master asked Steve and Gaius."No," Daniel replied."Sir," a guard interrupted, entering the room."The cops are here," the guard reported.Sitting on the balcony upstairs, they watched as four cops entered, and the old master stood up expectantly."Any news?" he asked."We found this... by the bridge," one of the cops said, handing over a piece of note to the old master."What is this?" the old master asked, his hands shaking."It's a supposed suicide note written by your

Steve stayed back with Gaius and his family, as well as Jasmine. Jasmine has been crying nonstop, Steve tried consoling her it seems too difficult. Gaius watched his friend suffer and feel uneasy trying to calm Jasmine down."Fuck this is frustrating!! Why does she cry too much? Does she have an ocean under her eyes?" Steve mumbled under his breath with a frown.Gaius helped him out by putting Jasmine's head on his shoulder and taking Steve's hand to stroke her hair gently. She came down shortly and Steve smiled, not long after sleep took over her and Steve positioned her well on the couch, allowing her head to sleep on his lap as he continued stroking her hair.Her beautiful face caught him and Steve began staring at her full eyebrows, nice nose, and such lovely lips too. He didn't know what was going on but his heartbeat is racing abnormally right now.Jerome had called the guys earlier and told them he would spend the night in the hospital with Eleanor since she had been attended t

Jerome had already told Eleanor about Jasmine's consciousness so she insisted they go visit her today.Sje was so excited that she couldn't wait to see her. She prayed a silent prayer thanking God for giving her a second chance.They are currently in Jerome's car on their way to see her. Jerome's phone rang and Eleanor had to pick it up for him since he was driving.She put it on loudspeaker so that he could hear “Man. You guys are going to keep me here till night falls right?" Gauis fumed over the phone" What are you talking about? " Jerome asked innocently."Don't tell me you forgot?" Gaius said."What day is today? I don't remember today being any special or am I missing out on something?" Jerome asked clueless.“What hell with you Jerome!!! We were supposed to go and pick up my family today, can't believe you forgot," Gaius said, annoyed already."Shoot!!! I'm so sorry man. Take the lead I will join you soon I promise. Have you called Steve though? I bet that lazy bone is still s
Chapter 188 Mia is back
"All eyes fell on James, somehow they were happy he was here because he was the only one who could handle Stanley's madness.""Have you gone nuts? Do you want to kill your grandpa, someone who cared for you as an infant even though he has never liked existence? He did his best by giving you capital to start a new life. You wasted the money and showed your stupid face here like the burden you are, and now you want to kill him? I swear to anything you hold sacred, if you do not put that gun down, I promise you will regret it, little boy," James barked at him.In a normal circumstance, Stanley would have thrown the gun away as soon as James scolded him, but this time around, he had a smirk plastered on his face. He started laughing maniacally, showcasing his madness."You fool, do you think the little stunts you pull still affect me? Grow up, man. Those empty threats of yours don't affect me anymore. I will advise you to clear my way, or do you want to die in his place?" Stanley glared a

"How did all this happen right under my nose without my notice?" the old master said with shock."You have a good mindset, Grandpa, but it doesn't mean everybody's like you. James chose to take the part of envy. You did not choose for him, so do not blame yourself. As for Annika, she is just a green snake in the grass," Steve said, trying to calm the old man down."I knew that Annika's silence was a threat, but I never expected her to join forces with James. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised. I expected one thing or another from her," Jerome said without concern."Steve, can you tell me exactly how you managed to get them together?" the old man asked."Before grandma left this morning, I was with her in the house when James and Annika came down together, ready for work. I got suspicious, so I asked Grandma when the both of them became that close... She replied that it started not long ago, but from her speech, I could sense she was happy at the new bonding. I don't know why, but somehow

Steve went straight to Cadell's company, needing to see Jerome immediately. He had been avoiding the fight that had arisen between himself and Jerome, but he was lucky enough Eleanor had talked to Jerome on his behalf, so they were fine now."Is your boss in?" Steve asked as he chanced upon Bright, who was just coming out of the elevator."Yes, he is in. Should I inform him about your arrival? He is currently in a meeting with the company board," Bright answered."Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for him in his office," Steve smiled.Bright escorted him to Jerome's office, offered him a glass of water, and excused himself to continue his work.James came in with Anika, rushing to the meeting room, which ended abruptly at their arrival. All the board members stared at them with disdain."Why are you just coming, Mr. James, and Miss Anika?" One of them asked with a frown."Had to take care of some personal stuff," James answered simply."What about you, Anika?" Another person
Chapter 184 Steve Uncovered truth
Steve has now become a frequent visitor in the Cadell's mansion, both for the old lady's sake and also to observe Annika as well.Anytime he visits, he spends some time with the old lady, and this makes her so happy. She always has a new story to tell of her youthful days.Eleanor and Jerome had left early that morning because they had work."I do not see you busy of late," the old lady asked curiously."I took a break from work; my second-in-command is taking care of everything perfectly. He contacts me anytime he has difficulties," Steve explained."Okay, I was just wondering because the Steve I know is a busy person who has no time to spare," the old lady chuckled.There was silence in the room till the old lady spoke again."Why don't you use this opportunity and find yourself a lady who will take care of you? I know everyone has been urging you to get married, and you find it irritating, but let me give you a clue on what a partner in your life can do for you. She is going to be
Chapter 183 Mia's miserable life
Jerome and Eleanor were still in Jerome's grandparents' house when a call came to Jerome's phone. He excused himself to take it; it was a call from the doctor who is taking care of Jasmine."Why are you calling me at this hour? Do you need anything?" Jerome asked."I have good news for you instead, the lady you asked me to be taking care of is awake," the doctor broke the news."Finally, I can rest. It took her long enough," Jerome breathed out."What should we do about her, Boss?" The doctor asked."We will come visit her tomorrow; it is already late," Jerome concluded."Allow her to be in the hospital for now; I will be sending someone over to bring anything she will need. Keep her for now till I come for her myself," Jerome instructed.The call ended, and he joined his family."What took you so long?" Eleanor pouted."Just business," he answered."Where are my grandparents?" Jerome asked."They said they had to go get some sleep, and also your grandfather said we should stay for the
Chapter 182 Argument
There was silence between the old man and his grandson, none of them was ready to talk. The old master was expecting his grandson to say something but the bitterness down his throat is preventing him from saying anything."Did you call me to sit here and watch you or you're going to say something," the old Master started to break the silence in the room."Why did you do that?" Jerome said simply."Can you talk in simple words? What do you mean by what you just said?" the old master replied."Why did you take such a decision and ask my friend to keep it away from me? It is not just anything this issue here, is something that involves my life. You should have at least told me about it if not for anything for the bond we share. Not for once have I taken any decision without telling you about it because I thought you were my everything and we have that kind of bond but then you proved me wrong," Jerome spoke bitterly."Why would you think that of me? You should listen to me at least, I
