Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Jasmine Clark’s Fate (4)
Jasmine Clark’s eyes were wild with desperation as she struggled fiercely, but her strength was no match for the man’s. He showed no mercy and kicked her behind the knees, forcing her to kneel on the stage with a reflexive jolt of pain.
Countless eyes were on her, yet not a single person came to her aid.
As if blind to her struggle and pain, the host spoke to the audience with a beaming smile, “Alright, this is the item up for auction today. Bidding starts at 1.5 dollars; let the auction begin.”
1.5 dollars…
The price was like a burning slap across Jasmine’s face, as if she had been smacked in front of so many onlookers! And yet, beyond the mortification was an endless torture of despair and panic…
She could only listen with buzzing ears and eyes wide open.
She couldn’t see who was bidding, who was pointing and critically assessing her.
Then the door was abruptly opened from outside, and a strangely familiar voice came through, “I’ll buy her!”
Against the backlight, she could vaguely make out the silhouette of a woman—

The luxury private jet soared into the clouds, heading towards Linton City.
Adam Sinclair held a champagne glass, leaning against the edge, swirled it around casually, and asked the man on the sofa, “Gigi fell asleep, didn’t she?”
“She’s asleep,” Baron Lawrence replied, his gaze locked on his laptop, engrossed in whatever he was viewing.
A notification chimed.
A file came through.
At last he acted, opening the file. A look of ruthlessness flickered in his eyes upon seeing ‘Completed’ then quickly suppressed it!
He had never intended to hand over the child thief to the police.
If someone dared cross his line, he was determined to make them experience despair and pain from the depths of their soul.
He had even considered crippling the hands of the bold culprit! But at the time, he had seen an unanswered call from Enna Clark. After stepping out to return the call, he learned that Enna was with Lyle Westbrook and had no time to deal with her.
Even if he hadn’t crippled her hands, she must have realized what ‘worse than death’ felt like!
Nothing is more painful than giving a desperate person a glimmer of hope, letting that hope grow, and, just when it peaks, plunging them back into utter despair. That suffocating sensation of hopelessness was enough to teach someone the meaning of collapse.
The auction would ultimately send her to an impoverished and hopeless little country where she would have decades to contemplate what she did that day. To realize what she did wrong!
Baron Lawrence’s eyes narrowed like a hawk’s.
If she failed to understand, he had countless other ways to engrain the lesson deeply into her.
And death, for her, would be the most luxurious escape!
His handsome face was cold as he closed his laptop.
Adam, unaware of what he had seen, took a sip of champagne and said, “I didn’t think you’d actually find that old doctor of Traditional Medicine.”
Before he could finish, the man on the sofa stood up, his figure like sculpted jade, his thin lips briefly parted, “That man is dead.”
“Dead? Then the person you had brought back to Linton City is…?” Adam Sinclair asked in astonishment, nearly dropping his glass.
Baron Lawrence’s eyes narrowed, “It’s his son, who is also a medical practitioner.”
When he arrived, the old doctor of Traditional Medicine Adam spoke of had been dead for three years. He had gone to great lengths to find the old doctor’s son. But after explaining Gigi’s condition to him, the man said there wasn’t much chance he could help.
