Chapter 106 A Big Secret
When Jazmine and Giancarlo came out of the electronic mall, they found that the tires of the car had been
punctured.
There were not many buildings around the electronic mall. Many cars were coming and going, but no one asked if they needed help.
“Hello.”
Someone came over. Jazmine glanced at the guy’s expression. She thought, there were still people who came
to help.
“Hello.”
“Is your car broken? I just saw someone deliberately breaking your car here. I took a picture of it.” The man took out his phone.
Jazmine glanced at it. There were indeed two people sneaking around her car in the photo. They looked a little familiar with the chubby appearance.
When Jazmine saw the fat man’s face in the next photo, Jazmine instantly understood who he was.
The man was Nina’s opponent in the robot competition. Nina defeated them, and they were angry. So, they played such kind of dirty tricks.
Jazmine smiled, “How should I address you,
sir?”
The man put away his phone and handed over his business card. “I am the boss of a shop in the mall. I sell electronic products. I know that Mr. Tapia is a big entrepreneur. It would be great if we could get to know each other. It seems that your cars are useless. I want to treat you to a meal at the restaurant nearby. What do
you think?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Jazmine glanced at the business card he handed over.
Kasen Brome, the manager of Integrity Electronics Shop.
Kasen took a fancy to Giancarlo’s identity. Jazmine was very unwilling to join their business. So, Jazmine handed the business card to Giancarlo. “It’s for you.”
Giancarlo did not even look at the business card. Instead, he stared at Jazmine with a face full of sincerity. There was an undeniable gentleness in his expression. “I won’t go if my wife doesn’t go.”
Kasen was confused.
Jazmine was also very helpless. “I already said. Don’t tell everyone that I’m your wife.”
“Why can’t I tell the truth?” Giancarlo asked.
Jazmine could not help but roll her eyes.
“Mr. Brome, where is your car? Let’s go to the restaurant you’ve mentioned.”
Kasen was happy. He had made so much effort just to treat Giancarlo to a meal. If Kasen knew that Giancarlo loved his wife so much, Kasen would directly invite Jazmine instead of Giancarlo.
Jazmine still didn’t know what Kasen was thinking. She was just paying attention to the scenery around her. She was also on guard. Jazmine thought, we don’t know who Kasen is. If it is dangerous, I wouldn’t be in a
passive state all the time.
The plaque of the restaurant looked very formal. The surrounding environment looked like a countryside farm. Many chickens and ducks could be seen walking around. In the distance, there seemed to be a lot of vegetables and fruits.
“Please come in.”
What Jazmine also noticed was that on the opposite side of the hill was Tulip Mountain.
Jazmine thought, was there any connection between them?
Giancarlo brought Jazmine into the room, and a few waiters came out to welcome them.
Kasen brought them into a private room.
The table was full of dishes, but Jazmine felt that the atmosphere was strange. Jazmine could not help but stand up. “I need to go to the bathroom.”
The bathroom was not dirty, but there was no one. After Jazmine walked out, several people were staring at her, making her feel uncomfortable.
After coming out of the bathroom, Jazmine did not return to the private room directly. Instead, Jazmine
walked out and wanted to look around.
Jazmine still noticed that many people were secretly watching her, but when Jazmine looked over, they pretended to be busy.
Jazmine was very clear that there must be a problem.
To verify her thoughts, Jazmine walked to a woman and smiled at her, “Hello. May I ask if the one in front is Tulip Mountain?”
The woman followed her finger and nodded. She even explained, “Yes, that’s Tulip Mountain. Do you think it looks good?”
Of course, Jazmine knew that Tulip Mountain was a good place. Moreover, the surrounding area was very good. The road was very flat. It was a good place to develop.
Jazmine was nodding.
The woman was extremely happy.
They immediately had a lot of things to talk about, “Young lady, do you know that Tulip Mountain had
suffered a lot back then? Fortunately, that black–hearted boss died, so Tulip Mountain was spared from the
disaster.”
Jazmine had a bad premonition, but she still couldn’t help but ask.
“What do you mean? Which boss are you referring to? What I know is that there are several bosses in the project of Tulip Mountain.”
The woman was confused. “Several bosses? Why don’t I know it? What I know is that there are two bosses, Mr. Gardner, and Mr. Tapia.”
“Then the black–hearted boss you are talking about…” Jazmine kept denying it in her mind.
Jazmine thought, it is not what I think.
The woman directly said, “That’s right. I mean Mr. Gardner. You don’t even know it. Mr. Gardner is a harsh person. He didn’t spend a single cent. He stole the land from us and took many of the men from our family away, saying that they were going to work at his factory.”
Jazmine couldn’t believe what the woman said.
Jazmine immediately retorted, “I remember that villages at Tulip Mountain are quite poor. The men and women in the village don’t have any job opportunities. Mr. Gardner gave everyone a chance to work. Why did you still say that he was black–hearted? Moreover, the land is requisitioned. Mr. Gardner paid.”
for
The woman spat and said, “What kind of person do you think Mr. Gardner is? How dare you speak up him? Go to the village, and you will know why I said that. Back then, he said that he would buy the land. Yes, the land was taken away and the money was not given to us. The house was also demolished.”
Jazmine was a little shocked.
Jazmine thought, this is completely different from my usual memory. Why is my father such a person who
bullies people?
When the woman saw Jazmine’s expression, her happy appearance disappeared and was replaced by a sneer. “When Mr. Gardner died, everyone in the village was setting off firecrackers.”
Jazmine still couldn’t find words to say.
The women changed the topic. “Fortunately, there is Mr. Tapia, the savior. If not, the villagers are still struggling. No one knows what to do.”
“Mr. Tapia of the Tapia Group?” Jazmine asked.
The woman laughed again. “That’s right. He took out a lot of money to provide the villagers with temporary lodging and gave us money for compensation. If Mr. Tapia didn’t help us, we would go to beg for food.”
Jazmine didn’t say anything.
Jazmine had no idea how the Gardner Group had worked on this project in Tulip Mountain in the past. Now, Jazmine wouldn’t believe everything just by hearing the woman’s words.
Jazmine would go back and investigate what Robert had done back then.
