The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 244

The man kept quiet, and Yasmine Taylor thought that her words worked. She continued, "Claudine is now trapped like a fly in a glass bottle. She has no future. Following her is equal to self- destruction. You all have your own family. Have you ever thought that your foolish behavior may cause your wife to lose her husband, your child to lose their father, and your parents to lose their sons?"

"I believe that you are just confused for a moment. You may stop the car now. There is a credit card in my bag that you may take away. The amount in it is definitely much more than what you will be getting from Claudine for kidnapping me. Sir, please stop the car, okay?"

"Seal her mouth."

One of the men finally spoke, but Yasmine was shocked. She tried persuading them, but these two men were not moved at all. Instead, they wanted to stop her from talking. It seemed that she was the one who was in danger, not them.

They are a group of desperadoes and they didn't care about anything.

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Just don't touch me."

When the man approached her with the tape, she covered her mouth with her hand because she knew what was going to happen.

The car stopped in front of a tall building. Yasmine was held by the two men. Before getting out of the car, the man warned her, "If you dare to shout for help, I can't ensure the safety of the child in your belly."

Their eyes were fierce. It seemed as though they would really do it if necessary. Yasmine nodded with a pale face and looked forward. The words, Pegasus Corporation, outside the building proved

that her guess was right.

Claudine Tucker had definitely been driven up the wall.

Yasmine was dragged out of the car. She looked around but there were no one nearby people to call for help. Even if there was someone, she dared not to shout. She couldn't possibly take risks in such a situation.

Once these two desperadoes were infuriated, the only ones who would get hurt would be the babies in her belly.

The two men led her into the elevator. The elevator rose straight up to the top floor. When the elevator doors opened, she was brought to the roof by them.

A gust of cold wind blew in her face, and she shivered. Soon, she saw a person standing in front of her in a dark corner. The person slowly turned around, revealing a ferocious face, like an old witch in fairy tales. Her sharp eyes reflected a cold light. That person was Claudine.

"Claudine, are you really that hopeless? What are you trying to do now? Do you think that you have not committed enough crimes to put you in jail? Do you want to be charged with kidnapping too?" Claudine smiled sinisterly, and her laughter was terrifyingly blood-curdling.

"It's because I already have enough crimes on me, so it doesn't matter if I add one or two more."

She ordered the two men behind Yasmine, "Leave and lock the door of the roof from the outside. Not even a mosquito could escape from here!"

The men nodded and put Yasmine's bag at the corner of the wall. They turned around and left. Then, Yasmine heard a rustling sound, and the door behind her was locked.

"What the h*ll do you want to do?"

She was shocked to find that Claudine was walking towards her with a sharp knife in her hand.

She had no place to retreat, so she could only move to the side. "Madam Tucker, please calm down. It's just bankruptcy. You don't have to be so extreme. Please calm down. We can discuss everything..."

"Bankruptcy? Ha, it's easy for you to say. Why don't you ask Sebastian to declare bankruptcy? Do you think it's that easy to set up an empire?"

"Since you know that it's hard, why didn't you run it well? Instead, you chose to pull these evil tricks. It's all your own fault. You were the one who pushed yourself to a dead-end."

"It's not me, it's Sebastian. He was the one who forced me to this point. I've warned him not to do that to me, but he ignored me. Well, since he refused to listen to me, then don't blame me for being cruel today. You can blame your husband for being so cold-blooded, blame your father-in-law for abandoning me. The Simons ruined my life, and I want them to experience the pain of losing their loved ones!"

Sebastian Simons suddenly received a call from Abigail Tanner. He picked it up with a frown and said, "Hello?"

There was dull silence on the phone. He repeated impatiently, "Hello? I'll hang up if you won't talk!"

"Sebastian, I'm willing to tell you the truth about the thing you asked."

Sebastian was nervous, "Tell me now."

"The truth is..."

When she finished speaking, she heard a sigh of relief from the other end of the phone.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why were you willing to confess all of a sudden?"

Even though Sebastian had asked her persistently the last few times, she still refused to tell him the truth. He could not help but feel a little surprised.

"Everyone will come to realize their mistakes at a certain time. For me, it just came a little bit late. Sebastian, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm really sorry. In fact, I've already regretted it earlier. I just don't know how to go back. Two years ago, when you said that you never want to see me again, I regretted it. I wanted to go back to the past and be the Abigail whom you admired and trusted. But when I turned back, I realized that there was no path for me to retreat. I could only continue forward. It was hard for me to walk down this road. I had done something wrong. I wanted someone to help me but I have no one beside me anymore. Not only did I let you down, but I also disappointed everyone who loved me. I became all alone. I was still a mess for the past two years, treating myself terribly because I thought nobody would care. Until yesterday, I went back to the Spicy Pasta Shop. I saw the note that you had left on the board. You wrote, "Abigail, you're the most beautiful angel in my life." I cried when I saw it. I finally realized how wrong I've been. There is no angelic sense from me anymore. After coming out of the shop, I stood at the roadside, letting the cold air blow on me while I smoke. Suddenly, I realized that if there's no one by my side and no one that loves me, then I should love myself..."

After hearing these words, Sebastian sighed in his heart. He didn't know if he should reprimand her for realizing this after such a long time or to praise her for finally deciding to go back to the right path.

"Sebastian, I'm sorry. And I want to tell you that Yasmine was kidnapped. I'm sorry to tell you this now because I know that if I had told you about this news first, you wouldn't have the mood to listen to what I said just now."

The phone was hung up as expected. Sebastian desperately dialed Yasmine's phone, but no one answered. He anxiously dialed Abigail's phone again and roared on the phone, "Who? Who kidnapped her? Where is she now? Is she okay..."

"Don't worry. She was just kidnapped and she is in Claudine's company now."

The phone was hung up again, and Sebastian drove madly towards Pegasus Corporation.

The wind was getting stronger, occasionally mixed with a few snowflakes. Yasmine was forced to the edge of the roof by Claudine. She looked back at the open space behind her and felt dizzy. There was absolutely no hope for her to survive if she fell at such a high height. What should she do? What should she do...

"Go on, take a few steps back. If you don't, I'll come to you with my knife. I don't know if my knife will pierce your heart, or your child's heart, first?"

Yasmine trembled vigorously. She tried her best to tell herself to calm down. Claudine had lost her mind. She couldn't panic anymore. She had to calm herself down.

The phone in her bag at the corner kept ringing. She knew that it must be Sebastian, which gave her a glimmer of hope when she was on the verge of despair. If no one answered the phone, Sebastian would immediately realize that something might have happened to her. As long as she could buy some time, she would definitely be saved.

In the silent night, the ringtone was extremely loud. Finally, Claudine couldn't bear the noisy sound. She rushed to the corner of the wall, picked up Yasmine's bag, and threw it down. At the same time, Yasmine, who stood behind her, snatched the knife in her hand and threw it away as fast as possible.

Claudine was furious. She grabbed Yasmine's hair and dragged her to the edge of the tall building.

"Do you think that you would be fine just because you threw my knife away? If I just use a little bit of strength now, you and your children will all die!"

Yasmine's tears fell uncontrollably. Fear filled her heart. She was afraid that Claudine would really push her down. She did not want to die now. She had not become a mother yet, and her children were still alive in her stomach. They must be frightened. She wiped her tears and said in her heart, "My children, I will protect you. Mommy will protect you, Daddy will protect you too. Daddy will come soon, so don't be afraid..."

She suppressed the fear in her heart and said calmly for her children, "Claudine, you can push me down, but you'd better understand a serious problem. If you push me down, you have to pay for it yourself, too. It doesn't matter if you die. However, have you ever thought about Scott? You abandoned him since he was eight. You haven't fulfilled your duty as his mother for more than twenty years, yet he was still worried about your situation. I met his wife an hour ago. She said that if you are willing to listen to your son and go to France, he will help you to take care of all the mess that you've done. It won't be a problem for you. You know how powerful your ex-husband is, he can help you. All you would be losing would just be your company but in exchange, you could have the chance to spend time with your son and your daughter-in-law for the rest of your life. Isn't that the better choice? As long as you are alive, there will always be another chance for you to rise."
