Chapter 1652
“Are you seething with rage? I imagine, if Chloe does show up, you’ll have to watch as the child
inside her leaves her body. What kind of expressions will you and your daughter have then?”
Yasmine merely looked at her coldly, and finally responded with a soft, icyugh.
Wendy was once again irritated by her indifferent demeanor, and her brows were furrowing. “You
two, mother and daughter, are both masters at feigning calmness”
Yasmine continued to stare at her coolly
“I just don’t want to waste too much time arguing with a lunatic “c2
She gave a small smirk, and her eyes twinkled with a hint of amusement and a touch of pity. People
should live however they want. If you think her being pregnantnow would make you happier, then by
all means, believe it
The smile on Wendy’s face gradually faded. The probing gazended on Yasmine’s face. Was
Chloe really pregnant or not? If she was pregnant, as a mother, wouldn’t hearing these words
unsettle her?
Were all those spections on the news fake?
But, there was no smoke without fire. Why else would the two of them suddenly decide to shop for
baby items?
And only for twins at that. Their intentions were too obvious
But how could Chloe be pregnant without Yasmine knowing?
If she had just found out, that was also impossible. They were with Yasmine throughout her
rehabilitation, and the ride home was spent in the car There was no way Chloe could suddenly
confirm her pregnancy
She thought about it over and over, but it just didnt make sense. She thought she could get some
answers from Yasmine, but her presence only made things more confusing
After ring at Yasmine for a while with a hateful gaze, Wendy finally pursed her lips and let out a
cold, derisive chuckle. “You’re right, in the end, death is inevitable. Once your precious daughter
shows up, I’ll find out whether she’s pregnant or not!”
Yasmine closed her eyes, giving her no response.
“We re almost at the destination There’s a checkpoint up ahead, remember not to utter a word.”
This was Wendy’s first time in such a ce. She knew it was known for its unrest and unruly
inhabitants with terrible tempers. A slight misstep could end up getting her shot Naturally, she was
nervous, but the fact that these people could calmly choose this ce, and were confident they
could pass the checkpoint showed they had some skills. She nodded to indicate her understanding.
Yasmine slowly opened her eyes, looking towards the front of the car.
In the darkness, she could see the alternating shing of red and blue lights up ahead. Vague
figures patrolled the checkpoint with guns, clearly the
checkpoint they spoke of
Armed? Murderous?
Without thinking too much, Yasmine figured out where they were headed Having lived in P City for
years, she was familiar with the borders. Coming hefe
wasn’t surprising
The people Ava found were naturally not bottom of the barrel. Furthermore, her political standing in
Y Country had no impact on her dealing with these ouws Every person in power had their dark
means. For someone as ambitious as her, it was not surprising to associate with these types of
people
After about ten minutes, they arrived at the checkpoint, and everyone got out of the car for
inspection Roughly, Yasmine was ced in a wheelchair, and with a gun pointed at her head, they
brazenly passed the checkpoint
The checkpoint staff only nced at Yasmine before motioning for them to pass, allowing them into
their territory
Yasmine remained expressionless, while Wendy was tense and short of breath. Once they entered
the territory, she was still in shock.
Yasmine, with a gun pointed at her head, could pass the checkpoint so easily, and it made her heart
race.
Soon, however, she epted the reality
As soon as they entered, she heard a few gunshots and watched as a middle–aged man was shot
dead in the street.
Checkpoint staff in uniform approached and scolded them, then watched as the gunmen dragged
the dead man away. This was the dark area. Life have seemed cheap
“Everyone knows this ce is where many people do their business. As long as someone dares to
cross this checkpoint, they dare to bet them in. After all, it’s easy to enter, but difficult to leave! If
you’re not absolutely connected and brave, no one would think ofing here. No matter who you
á kú long as you’re not the boss here, you can die at any moment!
The gangster leader exined to Wendy as he directed his men to push Yasmine forward, his
expression and tone serous
Through the darkness. Wendy could even see smoke nsing from a house not far away Judging from
the dpidated scene, it was clear this ce had been bombed not long ago On both sides of the
street people of all sorts stood, sal aquatted, and had their eyes fixed on her
Some even waved at her and she felt a sting on her chin Looking down, she saw a gold ne
had fallen at her fees
The words money sex trade instantly made her distance herself from the ne as the crowd
around her erupted inughter
Wendy, a former upper–ssdy had never seen such a group of thugs But at this time and ce
it wasn’t the time for her to act be ady Catching up to the gang leader, she asked with a shaky
voice, see that everyone here is defiant, and wouldn’t easily submit to others why do they
acknowledge the boss?”
The gang leaderughed, looking at Wendy as if she were a fool.
“Of course, it’s because he controls the weapons they need most! Without weapons, these people
are no better than dead.”
Wendy furrowed her brows. “Hasn’t anyone thought of getting weapons from other channels? Why
must they…”
“Other channels? it’s said that he virtually monopolizes the weapons supply of the countries located
in the middle of the world. Most of the weaponse from him. Even if you go around him, they still
end up in his hands, and you also end up offending him, so what’s the point?”
Wendy’s brow furrowed even deeper.
