Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 981: The Slums in Chaos

"Saying you’re stupid, and yet you won’t admit it."

"What do you mean?"

This time, it was Nora Northwood’s turn to be stunned.

"I have no need to take the life of a child, it’s merely a test."

Although Jasper Sinclair is called The Living God of Hell by others, it’s only in business dealings.

He’s not someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong. Nora Northwood’s poisoning, in essence, has little to do with Damien.

If he could obtain the antidote formula, there’s no need to implicate Damien, let alone involve an underage child.

Jasper spoke those words partially to test the boy’s true intentions, and partially to vent his frustrations.

From the very first second the boy walked into this room, Jasper’s bodyguards were already informed to ensure the boy’s safety.

Though Jasper resided in the hotel, the outside world was entirely under his control.

He was well aware of Damien’s dire circumstances.

If the boy’s identity were uncovered, the only waiting fate would be death.

It’s already late, after a moment of hesitation, Jasper decided the matter needed to be resolved swiftly.

If he were late by just a step and Damien were taken out by others beforehand, he truly wouldn’t get His9’s antidote.

Thinking of this, he said to Nora, "Help me get a coat that’s not too heavy, preferably easy to move in. I’m heading out for a while. I’ll be back when I’m back. Don’t wait up for me tonight."

"Are you going to find Damien?"

"Yes, since I’ve reached a deal with her brother, I must ensure her safety. Once I get the antidote formula, we’ll return home immediately."

"But it’s already very late. Can you go tomorrow?"

Ever since eavesdropping earlier, Nora Northwood’s right eyelid has been twitching nonstop.

Left eye twitch means wealth; right eye twitch means disaster. She’s always believed this seemingly superstitious saying.

Her intuition told her that tonight might be a restless night.

She tried to persuade Jasper Sinclair to stay, but his answer was a firm refusal.

How could she defy Jasper Sinclair?

In the end, she could only compromise and let him leave.

Jasper Sinclair drove himself and, to ensure things went smoothly, brought an entire convoy of bodyguards.

A team composed of dozens of people set off in the deep night towards the most inconspicuous slum of Paris.

...

As they neared the slum, Jasper Sinclair heard gunshots.

He’s always sensitive to such sounds, and his first reaction was that something had happened to Damien. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Nora’s sixth sense was indeed accurate.

Damien’s location had been found by one of her mortal enemies, who launched a sudden attack in the dead of night.

They became enemies because Damien poisoned the rival’s daughter, turning her into a paralyzed state.

To this day, two years later, she still lies half-alive in bed, more like a corpse except for the ability to breathe.

At this moment, both parties are in a stalemate.

Before taking action, Jasper Sinclair instructed his men: "Ensure safety, try not to take lives, and remember, Damien must be left alive."

Thus, the group sprung into action.

With Jasper Sinclair’s involvement, the situation plunged into chaos.

Jasper Sinclair was shielded by two people, searching for Damien’s figure all the way.

Finally, they found Damien fighting in a courtyard.

At that moment, a gun was already aimed at Damien’s head.
