The servant, without the slightest hesitation, pulls the trigger and unleashes several volleys of bullets at Quentin.Quentin rushes to the side, narrowly avoiding the projectiles that graze his body. He shouts vehemently at Diego and the other staff members ; " Please find refuge ! "Diego pins Quentin to the ground behind a marble pillar as more detonations are heard." Are you hit, sir ? " Diego asks insistently." No, I'm fine," Quentin retorts.Quentin carefully peers around the pillar to catch a glimpse of the shooter swiftly approaching them, firing wildly and shattering vases and mirrors.Subsequently, he scans the surroundings in search of a weapon and spots a broken broomstick lying nearby." It may not be the ideal choice, but it's better than nothing," he thinks." Diego... I need you to create a diversion. Just give me a few seconds!" whispered Quentin.Diego nodded and emerged from behind the marble pillar, thus catching the shooter's attention." Hey ! Over here!" excl

What are you doing here with an object concealed behind your back ? " the butler questions, his voice tinged with mistrust.Diego feels a surge of panic, and his heart races as he desperately tries to come up with a plausible explanation." I... I came here to make a private phone call," he stammers.The butler furrows his brows, seemingly unconvinced." A private phone call ? In these deserted corridors ? "Diego struggles to swallow, sweat now trickling down his forehead. His mind races frantically, searching for a way to defuse the butler's growing suspicions." I needed... privacy for personal reasons," he says, forcing a strained smile." If you would kindly forgive me," he adds in a trembling voice.He pretends to quickly leave, however, the butler's penetrating gaze remains fixed on him.Once outside, Diego takes a deep breath, realizing
Unexpected Wealth Chapter 52 : A manor in ruins.
Quentin's eyes widen with worry as the explosion shakes the entire mansion." I must escape from this place as quickly as possible ! " he whispers hurriedly.He rushes to leave the office just in time, as a second, more intense explosion resounds, sending a fireball down the hallway.The force of the explosion violently propels him to the ground, while the surrounding walls collapse into flames." Help ! Everyone, evacuate immediately ! " cries Quentin.Shouts and screams resonate from all directions. Quentin struggles to get up, dizzy, his ears ringing.Thick black smoke fills the air, assaulting his eyes. He staggers through a crumbling corridor.As Quentin turns a corner, he recoils in horror at the scene unfolding before him.The bodies of guards and servants litter the floor, some so charred that they are unrecognizable." My God, how many are there ? " Quentin ponders, his heart filled with anxiety.The ground shakes beneath his feet as a third explosion reverberates through the

Maya shakes her head disapprovingly." It is now too late for that, Quentin. Jasmine is pregnant with your child, and as a father, you have the responsibility to provide for her needs," she declares firmly.Quentin clenches his teeth, irritated." I will not be bound by a mere fleeting impulse, Maya. My only obligation is towards my heritage," he retorts sharply.Maya fixes him with a stern gaze." And what becomes of your inheritance if there is no heir, sir? Do you wish to see it extinguished with you ? "Then she softens her tone." This child is innocent in its conception. Will you abandon your own flesh and blood to a life of deprivation and needs ? "Quentin remains silent." I never wished to be a father. I never envisioned such a burden and vulnerability," he bitterly thinks." But Maya is right. What will become of everything I possess without an heir? " he wonders.He sighs heavily."And where is Jasmine now? " he asks resignedly." She is also hospitalized in this facility,

Maya remained still. When she finally spoke, her voice was calm yet unwavering." I have dedicated my life to serving you, but I will not stay here and watch you waste your only chance at happiness."Quentin looked up as Maya gently and insistently placed her hand on his arm." Beneath this icy exterior beats a heart capable of warming. Do not let your pride guide decisions you will later regret."Having said that, she turned and left without uttering another word, the door closing behind her.Quentin remained silent, Maya's words echoing in his mind. Her accusation penetrated deep into his heart, awakening long-buried memories of his mother.Thus, Quentin evoked the loving smile of his mother Bénédicte, so similar to Jasmine's, and a lump formed in his throat.He buried his face in his hands as anxiety washed over him, triggering a flood of sorrow and regret.Her shoulders were shaking with sobs, and tears streamed down her face." What have I done ? " he whispered.Quentin looked up

Jayden tenderly embraces his sister to comfort her." Don't cry like this," he whispers." You did well to dismiss him. He only brought you pain and sorrow."Jasmine shakes her head, tears flowing freely." Why did he come ? After all my efforts to forget what happened between him and me? Why bring the past back now? I just want to forget him completely ! "She buries her face in Jayden's shoulder.He sighs." Forget about him, my dear sister. He doesn't deserve your tears. We are here, me and the baby, without expecting anything from that man. With time, memories will fade away."He gently places a hand on her belly." This child is our future. Let's leave Quentin Chen in the past, where he belongs. We will build our own happiness without him."Jasmine nods slowly, wiping her eyes. Jayden gives her an encouraging smile." That's my brave sister. No more tears now ! Tears won't benefit you or the baby. Come on, I'll finish preparing our meal."He guides her to the sofa and hands her a

Suddenly, Quentin's phone vibrated strongly, almost causing him to get up from his chair to check the screen. His eyes widened in astonishment." I have a message from Jasmine ! She wants us to meet to finally settle things," he said with a trembling voice filled with emotion.Maya's face lit up." What wonderful news ! This is your chance to prove to her that you've changed."Quentin vigorously nodded his head, his heart pounding with hope." I absolutely have to go see her..."He hastily left his office, ignoring the persistent calls from his secretary.Outside, he came to a halt.." But where should I go to find her ?

" Don't move, Mr. Quantin Chen, or I'll shoot ! " declared the young woman with a murderous gaze filled with anger.Quantin remained motionless and powerless.Suddenly, another man injected a syringe into Quentin's neck. His vision became blurry, and he collapsed weakly onto the floor, unconscious.[•••••••••••••••••••••••••]Maya paced nervously in her office, consumed by anxiety. No news from Quentin for hours. Her phone rang unanswered." But where could he possibly be ! " she wondered, growing increasingly worried.As panic intensified in her chest, she made a decision." I'm going to visit Jasmine. Maybe he's still with her."A few minutes later, she found herself at Jasmine's place. Surprised, Jasmine welcomed her." Maya? What brings you here?
