Boyce got to know that the man was caught in the villa, so he rushed over immediately. As soon as he arrived, he asked if anyone had been injured.
Joshua said no.
He didn’t tell Boyce what had happened to Bonnie. Fortunately, Joshua came on time, and nothing serious happened, so he didn’t want to worry Boyce.
Upon hearing Joshua’s answer, Boyce breathed a sigh of relief. He called his coworkers right away to bring the dead body back.
After almost two hours, the dead body was taken away and the blood on the floor in the bedroom had been cleaned up.
“It’s not a good sign to have someone dead in the matrimonial home. We’d better choose another house tomorrow and sell this one.” Jasmine stood next to Boyce with a solemn look. Although Joshua said no one was injured, the desperado had died in the matrimonial home, which made her feel creepy and sickened.
She believed as long as Joshua entered this house, he would think about the dead man.
The more she thought about it, the more sickened she got.
“Or, you can stay in the hotel,” suggested Jasmine, “We’ll pay for you.”
“I’ll deal with this matter.” Joshua kept calm. “It’s too late now. You should go back, leaving everything to me.”
“Okay. I want to check on Bonnie.” As she said, Jasmine was about to walk to the room. Joshua stopped her. “Amanda is with her now. They should be sleeping already. Later they’ll get up for makeup. Please don’t disturb them.”
Upon hearing it, Jasmine couldn’t insist. She could only nod in agreement. “Okay. We’re taking off now.”
In face, Jasmine couldn’t fall asleep tonight.
Sitting in the car, she looked quite worried. Boyce asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jasmine was silent.
Boyce frowned. “The criminal has been caught though he’s dead. Later after the traitor is found out, this case should be closed. Why are you still unhappy?”
Jasmine told him what had been bothering her. “Just now in the villa, I wanted to check on Bonnie, but Joshua refused. I can feel he didn’t want me to check on her.”
“You must have overthought.” Boyce raised his eyebrows.
“I do hope so. After this case is closed, you should apply for early retirement. You’ve been working hard all your life, but you are seldom rewarded. Although the top asked you to make amends for the previous mistake, they still blamed you. How many contributions have you made? How much work have you done? Do they appreciate you?” This was the first time Jasmine wasn’t supporting Boyce in work.
She was freaked out this time. A lot of bodyguards had been arranged around her house and she was always uneasy. Boyce truly had been promoted higher and higher, but he also had offended a lot of people.
They were aged now. It should be the time for them to retire and enjoy their retirement.
