Chapter 130
Seeing Vanessa still hesitating, Jasmin added, “…”
“And mom, think about it, what if… I mean, what if, something unexpected happens, your foot is tied in a small forest, I can carry you and run, or even go find the police for help, right?”
Vanessa was still hesitating, Jasmin kept on saying, “Think about Theron! Threatening Lizzie with Katherine will definitely make her compromise! She will definitely listen to us and withdraw the report.”
Vanessa had a cold face, but when she thought of Theron, she went all
in!
She purposely put on a thick coat and wandered around near Redstar Hostel.
The sky was getting dark, the night was getting deeper, and the long night only amplified her fear.
Just when she thought this thing wouldn’t work out, two dark figures suddenly appeared from the darkness.
She was so scared that she wanted to scream instinctively, her heart was in her throat, but she covered her mouth and didn’t dare to make a
sound.
She didn’t say anything until they got close, then she blurted out, “I have a way to save Alvaro and Brycen, you guys…uh!”
The Frazier family didn’t say a word, they roughly grabbed her and took her away. Vanessa didn’t dare to struggle or call for help, she just let them drag her away, disappearing into the darkness of the night.

Jasmin always lagged behind, her heart pounding. She watched as her mother was taken away, resisting the urge to leave.
But she thought, Theron, if Theron’s position was taken away, she wouldn’t be a professor’s sister anymore, how could she marry a city person?
So, gritting my teeth, overcoming the fear in my heart, I quietly followed along.
They arrived at the small grove in no time, and the Frazier family members pushed Vanessa to a tree.
Vanessa wanted to share her plan, but her mouth was covered, so she had to rely on Jasmin.
They had just tied up Vanessa when they noticed the sneaky Jasmin following them.
One man immediately turned around, with a fierce look in his eyes, ready to grab her.
Jasmin reacted quickly and ran out of the woods.
She ran all the way to the edge of the woods, where she could see the faint lights outside, and then suddenly stopped..
“Don’t come any closer. Take one more step and I’ll call the police.”
The Frazier family’s footsteps paused, they looked at each other, hesitating.
They are fugitives now, the last thing they want is to alert the police. If they don’t rescue the child, they will end up in trouble themselves.
Jasmin saw that they didn’t move, knew her threat had worked. She collected herself and started laying out her plan.

“Our families have never been enemies, our enemy is Lizzie. I know you want Theron to release Alvaro and Brycen. Theron tried to find a way, but now Lizzie is holding on tight. She won’t let them go, there’s nothing anyone can do.”
They didn’t believe Jasmin’s words and said angrily, “That’s because Theron didn’t try hard enough!”
Although the Howland family talked tough, Jasmin watched their expressions and saw that they seemed to be taking it in. Their tone softened a bit, with a hint of persuasion.
“You tying up my mom like this won’t help, it’ll just make things worse. Why don’t you
to pressure Lizzi listen to my idea, let’s figure out a way together
into going to the police and dropping the charges, so
Alvaro and Brycen can be released.”
The Frazier family went to the police station to inquire, just like Jasmin said.
Whether to release Alvaro and Brycen or not, it all depends on the willingness of the victim Lizzie.
Jasmin saw their dark faces and knew they had figured it out too, “The reason for all this was my mom telling Alvaro to come to town to find Katherine, right? No way! It was Lizzie who tricked you guys!”
The Frazier family’s faces were all dark, you know. If it wasn’t for Lizzie lying to them, they wouldn’t have let Katherine go. Who knows, maybe by now, the wedding would have been over!
“Who does Lizzie care about the most? Isn’t it her cousin Katherine? Let’s bring Katherine here… then, afraid that Lizzie won’t behave?”
The Frazier family members listened to Jasmin’s words, with a calculating gleam in their eyes.

“I heard Alvaro’s leg… tsk, got broken by Lizzie, now he limps when he walks, it’s gonna be hard for him to find a wife, right?”
This hit home for the Frazier family, thinking that Alvaro might end up with a lifelong disability, the two men’s eyes instantly turned red.
