In Regina's Logan's home, Jasmine was surprised when she heard everything her mother said. She glanced out of the window and saw the villa, Andre is the owner.
“As for me Regina, I would never believe that that lowlife middle class hustler can afford such a house. He and his mother were probably caretakers for the house. One day, I'll know the real owner” Regina scoffed.
“I would have doubted you mom, but after I ran into him today at the restaurant alongside his girlfriend, I think he can buy it, considering how wealthy his girlfriend is…” Jasmine said, her brow furrowed into a frown.
“What do you mean?” Regina asked. Has he gotten himself a rich girlfriend? She doesn't want to believe anything positive can happen in Alice's life if her son has a rich girlfriend.
“The rich, elegant CEO of the Wood's Electroworld, Camella Wood, is Andre's girlfriend,” Jasmine declared.
Regina was taken aback. No, that's not possible. Andre can't get such a woman. Besides a good look, what else does he have to offer such a woman?
“That's not possible. Who is Andre Torello to win the heart of such a woman?” Regina rebuffed. She can't take it, that's absolutely impossible. Remembering Alice's arrogant words and Andre's stern ridicule,makes her shiver at the thought of it turning out to be true like Jasmine said.
“It is, mom. I saw them with my eyes. We even exchanged words and Andre bullied me for his woman, mom. Patrick was not there to deal with him, I waited for him but he never showed up.
The kind of ridiculous words he said to me today, I can't believe it is the same Andre I used to know. But when the scandal broke out a few minutes later, it sealed and affirmed what I just learnt at the time…” Jasmine assured her mother.
She doesn't know what such a classical woman wants with a man like Andre. He doesn't have a root, doesn't know his real parents nor his real identity. Such a man is who she agreed to be dating?
Was it for the sake of the sex he was giving her? She knows without doubt that he was good in bed. His touch on a woman, she will melt in his arms. His cock was huge and he knew just how to make a woman ecstatic.
She's married but she knows how much she longs for his dick. Camella Wood must have been enjoying his pleasure filled thrust to have agreed to be dating her employee.
“If that is it, no wonder he said something about returning everything back to him. He said he wants a refund of everything he'd given us” Regina informed her daughter in a low tone that is more like a whisper.
“Yes, I was going to ask you. What does he want? The money he'd spend on me? Patrick would have been able to pay him back if his business wasn't having some challenges these days…” Jasmine confessed.
One of the reasons why Patrick has always been hostile towards her was because he went almost bankrupt after they returned from their honeymoon. And that depression turned him into a drunk and a womaniser.
“I wish it was just money, Jasmine “ Regina paused, her high hopes trashed. Even Patrick's business was having challenges. Who then will come to their aid?
Jasmine shrugged, “What else does he want?”
“He wants his kidney and every single pint of blood he donated to us. And the strangest of it is, he will drain that amount of blood in just one day” Regina disclosed.
Jasmine was shocked and she screamed “But that's impossible!”
Before night, the scandal was traced to Jack Johnson and Patrick. They were both arrested at his Highnesses' order. A single dial was enough to put them behind bars.
Jasmine waited all night, waiting for her husband's return. Whatever he wants, she will be willing to do it just for him to help her family.
This new found lover that Andre has found has empowered him and she doesn't know what length he would go to kill both of her parents in one day.
But she waited in vain. She woke up in the early hours of the morning to find out that her husband had been charged to court for defamation alongside one Mr Jack Johnson.
She couldn't believe her ears.
What the heck!
Why is everything working against her and when she got the details of why he was being charged to court, she sank into the sofa helplessly.
He sponsored the scandal against Andre and it appears there is a strong force working behind the scene for Andre. Jasmine knew there's going to be a calamity that would befall her family if there's no intervention.
She went to the police station to see Patrick but she was denied the opportunity. Kunle Johnson and his wife Clara were there, trying to pull strings and see how they could have their son bailed.
Kunle blamed Clara who dragged him into the mess her son had created. He'd always known that that illegitimate son he has brought into his home would be his ruin one day.
He was arrested by the police on the request of Benson Wood and it took a lot of pleading and compromise to get his freedom. And now, he has been arrested for having part in scandalous sponsorship against Camella Wood and whoever that guy was.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get his son bailed. Clara was restless. If Kunle split the beans, Jack would know he wasn't his real son. And considering how furious her husband was, she cannot guarantee that he wouldn't do it.
“This is absolutely beyond my control. A higher power is involved and they will soon be going to court for trial” the police declared. He has a family to look after, there's practically no favour he can grant Kunle Johnson.
Kunle was stubborn. There must be a way to go about it. It probably was Benson Wood again. That man could go any length to exact revenge on anyone or anything that undermines his daughter.
“Who's this higher power? Benson Wood?” Kunle probed further. As far as N.Y is concerned, Benson Wood and that arrogant daughter of his, are a power themselves.
But the fact that she was seen with another man, an employee, someone lower than her status, was enough to arouse scandal even if Jack didn't sponsor it.
“I wished it was a small personality like him. But if you want to find answers, you'll reach the office of the Director or Attorney general” the police chief declared and dismissed him.
“Had Jack trampled on the tail of a cobra?” Kunle mumbled under his breath.
