Quentin's heart races even faster when he notices smoke curling out of the briefcase.Carefully, he grabs it and rushes outside, placing it safely on the ground, as far away from the casino entrance as possible.A few moments later, a muffled explosion occurs, shattering the briefcase into pieces and sending flaming bills into the air.Quentin watches in disbelief as the money he had worked so hard to earn goes up in flames." This situation is highly suspicious. It is highly likely that the briefcase was rigged to explode as soon as I left the establishment, " he realizes with clarity, although sadness is evident on his face." Clearly, someone did not want me to keep this money, " he adds.His mind races as he tries to determine who could have orchestrated such a plot." I know who is capable of such treachery ! The owner of the casino, " he murmurs almost to himself." But how could he have tampered with the briefcase without me noticing ? " he wonders once again.It is at this mome
Quentin's mind was besieged with questions after the enigmatic phone call." I must make a decision promptly ! " he thought." Indeed, it is a risky plan, but the idea of saving Jasmine was far too tempting to be neglected, " he also said to himself in a barely perceptible voice.Meanwhile, Arjun attentively observed his friend, sensing the internal struggle Quentin was going through." Quentin," Arjun said softly, breaking the silence between them." Who was the person on the other end of the line? What did they want from you ? "Quentin glanced at Arjun, mixing determination and uncertainty in his eyes. He took a deep breath and explained the entire situation to Arjun, including the details about the phone call." However, they claim to have information about the identity of the casino owner, " Quentin revealed with a voice tinged with skepticism." But they demand that I retrieve an object from his office in exchange for the means to save Jasmine, " he added.Arjun furrowed his bro
Quentin frowned, frustrated. His mind raced as he searched for the best course of action .After a long moment, he spoke up." The safety of Jasmine is my top priority. While I am eager to put an end to Mateo's scheming, she doesn't deserve to suffer because of my personal vendetta against Mateo. "Arjun nodded, showing his understanding." Very well . We will focus our efforts on infiltrating the casino as we discussed before. "" But Mateo cannot go unpunished, " Quentin declared through gritted teeth." We must also find a way to thwart his plans, " he added." One thing at a time, my friend," Arjun replied." Let's start by saving Jasmine. Once she is safe, we can turn our attention to stopping Mateo," he continued.[ Two days later. ]Quentin and Arjun were sitting in the back of a parked vehicle near the casino.They were finally ready to infiltrate the premises and were discussing the final details before embarking on this risky endeavor." It's been almost two hours since we'v
Arjun's jaw tightened, his unwavering gaze." We cannot allow them to stop us now. Let's quickly find a solution," he declared firmly.They exchanged a brief glance." As soon as I signal, I'll start the car," mumbled Quentin through clenched teeth, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly." Let's act fast, we need to escape from these men," Arjun replied anxiously.Without wasting another moment, Quentin abruptly pressed down on the accelerator pedal, and their car surged forward, leaving the wreckage behind.The screech of tires filled the air as they sped through the chaotic casino parking lot.The imposing men pursued them in another vehicle, their sleek black car skillfully maneuvering through the traffic.Quentin and Arjun's hearts raced as they exchanged worried glances, fully aware of their numerical disadvantage." We need to come up with a plan quickly," Arjun said." Arjun, check the glove compartment. We might find something useful in there," Quentin shouted over the
Quentin's face darkened with a worried expression." What happened ? What kind of problem are you facing ? " he asked, his voice filled with concern." I can't explain it over the phone, " Jasmine replied, her voice frail and shaken." Okay, calm down. Take a deep breath," Quentin replied in a comforting voice, trying to maintain his own emotional stability.Before Jasmine could respond, the communication was suddenly interrupted.Quentin frantically tried to call her back, but his call went straight to voicemail.Suddenly, the phone rang again. Quentin quickly grabbed it." I hope it's Jasmine. "However, a different voice, deep and menacing, echoed on the other end of the line." Quentin, listen carefully. If you want to save Jasmine, you must return to the casino immediately. "" You have fifteen minutes. If you're not there by then, she will lose her life, " the voice pronounced before hanging up.From that moment on, Quentin's heart was pounding, and his mind was racing." What s
Quentin, his face bloodied and his body battered, gathered all his strength." I cannot give up," he pondered, his jaw clenched.An intense flame of determination glowed in his eyes as he tapped into his last reserves.Through a superhuman effort, he managed to painfully rise to his unsteady feet, ignoring the throbbing pain radiating through his being.The casino owner, surprised by this unexpected resurgence, remained frozen for a moment." You'd better stay down, fool," he declared with a disdainful sneer, convinced that Quentin was no longer a threat." You are more stubborn than I thought. However, it will not change your fate," he added arrogantly.Quentin wiped the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and retorted with a hoarse voice filled with determination," You're making a mistake by underestimating individuals, especially those who have nothing left to lose."He glanced at Arjun, wounded but equally determined." Do not falter, my brother. I know you can rise to th
" According to the information I have gathered, Interpol had been closely monitoring Mateo for several months. They followed him until he boarded his flight to Yemen, " explained Arjun in an enigmatic voice." At the exact moment of his plane's landing, the Interpol agents who were waiting for him apprehended him on the spot ! " he added with evident satisfaction, in front of Quentin and Jasmine's astonished faces." I can't believe it. After all these years, this vile individual will finally have to answer for his misdeeds," murmured Quentin in a trembling voice. He felt like an immense burden had been lifted off his shoulders.Arjun placed a comforting hand on his shoulder." Indeed, Quentin. Mateo will no longer pose a threat to anyone and will no longer be able to harm others, " he declared." And that's not all... At the moment, all of Mateo's henchmen are being pursued, which means you can go back home and take back the reins of CHEN ENTERPRISES," Arjun added with a mischievous
Meanwhile, Quentin's heart was pounding frantically as they awaited the arrival of the ambulance. He gently stroked Jasmine's back while whispering words of encouragement to her.After what felt like an eternity, they heard the sirens of the ambulances getting closer." The ambulance has arrived, Jasmine. Hold on just a little longer, " Quentin urgently expressed.In a matter of minutes, the paramedics hurried into Quentin's office and began examining Jasmine." Her contractions seem to be coming rapidly. We need to take her to the hospital immediately, " said one paramedic.Without delay, they gently lifted Jasmine onto a stretcher and escorted her out of the building towards the ambulance vehicle." Sir ! You can also come aboard the vehicle with us, " another paramedic invited Quentin.Quentin nodded and climbed into the back of the ambulance, his heart pounding with fear.Once inside the ambulance, an ambulance worker connected Jasmine to an intravenous drip and checked her vital
