Semua Bab Unveiling the True Match: Bab 571 - Bab 580

"I'm actually embarrassed for you. I overestimated your cleverness, only to find you're as headstrong as they come."Hendrix had expected her to come prepared, to see through the simplest of tricks. However, Yaslyn had taken the bait of a secret passage, charging in solo without a second thought.Disappointment flashed in Hendrix's eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it came."Have you poisoned this room?"Yaslyn could barely muster the strength to move, her arms like lead, yet her mind was razor-sharp."You're really on edge, not even picking up on the drug-laced air here."Yaslyn had no choice but to hurl insults. "You're despicable."Hendrix's laughter was unrestrained. "Ever wonder why I went to such lengths to lure you here? Your mother was a treasure trove of remedies, and you're no different."With a casual gesture, Hendrix summoned two men from the shadows. "Take the woman on the floor back to her place and tie this one up in the back room."A chill flashed in Yaslyn's

Gaston's face twisted with discomfort. "But…""Why can't I enter? I need to go in now. If you don't open up, the Jurado family is going to be in big trouble tomorrow."Quigley's words always carried a chilling edge, and Gaston, realizing the situation was irredeemable, reluctantly took the keys and unlocked the door.The moment Quigley crossed the threshold, he spotted Hendrix, sitting with an air of tranquility by the stone table near the entrance."What's all the commotion? Why has Mr. Quigley Jentsch showed up?"Hendrix held a cup of tea, savoring each sip without a hint of irritation at the unexpected visitor. He gestured to the stool beside him."How about joining me for a cup of tea, Mr. Quigley Jentsch?"Quigley let out a dismissive huff. "I'm not here to waste time sipping tea. Out with it! Where have you stashed Kadesha and the rest?""Them?"Hendrix placed his teacup down, his eyes wide with feigned shock. "Now, Mr. Quigley Jentsch, you can't go around making baseles

Yaslyn had no time for small talk. She mischievously walked up to Gaston and looked at him knowingly."You've heard about the little drama that just unfolded, haven't you, Mr. Gaston Jurado?""I have nothing to do with that, I swear. I don't know a thing."Gaston could see he was on the losing end of the standoff. He hated to admit it, especially with his daughter's future at stake. He could not risk the Jurado family's name.Yaslyn's gaze was playful yet piercing. "Not a clue? Are you sure about that?"Cornered, Gaston looked away and gave a helpless nod. "I'm clueless about the whole affair. Don't believe me? Go ask my butler. I've never been close with Mr. Hendrix Jurado."The butler, overhearing the conversation, chimed in with a nod. "Absolutely. Mr. Gaston Jurado and Mr. Hendrix Jurado have no connection whatsoever!"Yaslyn was not buying it, but she knew she would need a different tactic to pry the truth out of him.With a sly glint in her eye, she came up with a plan.

"Gary!" Silvestra gasped, darting to his side.Her fingers trembled as she felt the dampness at the back of his head, and panic seized her. She called his name repeatedly, but he did not stir."I..." Silvestra's mind raced as she spun in place, then a weak grip on her hand and a faint voice broke through. "Call 911, quick."She smacked her forehead. Of course, they were already at the hospital. No need for 911.Scanning the area, she spotted a doctor with a clipboard and tugged at his sleeve desperately, "Doctor, someone's hurt over there. Please, you've got to help him!"The doctor, taken aback by her urgency, followed her gaze to Gary slumped against the tree. Realizing the gravity of the situation, he immediately called for backup, and they rushed Gary to the emergency room.While Gary was patching up his wound, Silvestra hovered nearby, her face etched with remorse."Sorry, I didn't mean to push you earlier.""It's fine, I know." Gary's voice was even, his face giving nothi

Yaslyn's mind raced to the possibility that this could be Xoan's child, but the thought seemed far-fetched.How could Xoan have fathered a child with another woman during such a time?Besides, the boy looked to be about three years old, and it had only been four years since she and Xoan had met.Xoan was buried in work during their first year together, which was hardly the time to be starting a family with someone else.Still, the resemblance was uncanny, and it was difficult not to let her thoughts wander.Finally, Yaslyn gathered her courage, her voice gentle as she approached, "Excuse me..."The moment the woman noticed Yaslyn, her eyes widened with unmistakable fear."I don't know you. Please don't come after me," she blurted out, hastily grabbing her son's arm to whisk him away."Hey, I'm not trying to cause trouble, I just have a question," Yaslyn protested, but the woman cut her off before she could get another word in."I said I don't know you. We don't want any troubl
