Chapter 145: RIGHT THING
The police officers arrived at the house and started their investigation.
"Do you think this was what Jasmine was talking about?" Erika asked him.
"I think the same too", he replied. He received another call and this time it was from an unknown number. Could that old man be calling with this number? He wondered.
He picked up the call and waited for the person to speak first.
"Ethan, it’s me, Jasmine," Jasmine introduced. Ethan glanced at Erika and mouthed to her ’It’s Jasmine’ and the latter nodded in understanding. "How is Erika? Is she okay?" She asked.
"Yes, she is," Ethan replied. "Where are you?"
Jasmine sighed before she replied,
"My dad has locked me up in the house after he found out I had proof against him and he won’t let me leave".
Ethan frowned on hearing that Mr. Davis had locked up his daughter just because she was about to do the right thing. The old man is becoming too persistent, Ethan thought to himself.
"I will send someone to help you", he offered.
"No it’s okay," she immediately objected. "I will find a way, you just need to protect Erika and keep her safe, and don’t let anything happen to her", she said.
Why is she being so nice to Erika? he wondered. He hummed in response and cut off the call.
"What did she say?" Erika inquired as soon as he got off the call.
Ethan narrated everything that Jasmine had informed him about and she wondered the same thing.
"Why is she suddenly being so nice?" she thought out loud.
In Jasmine’s room, she dialed Andrew’s number and the call got connected in less than a second.
"Andrew, I need your help", she said immediately.
"Why? What happened?" He quickly dropped everything and asked.
"My dad found out about my plans and now he has locked me up, now I can’t leave", she explained.
Andrew thought for a few seconds and replied, "Don’t worry, I have a plan".
Mr. Davis was in his study room, anticipating the call of the kidnappers to say they had captured Erika so that he could finally pop the champagne that he had brought out to celebrate.
When his anticipated call was finally here, he quickly picked it up,
"Please tell me you have good news", he pleaded which made the words the other person was about to spout get clogged in his throat.
"Unfortunately sir, we searched the building as well but we still weren’t able to find the description of the woman you gave us", The person managed to reply.
Rage filled Mr Davis’s eyes as he threw away all of the documents on his table before he demanded,
"Are you guys new to this job?! I asked you to kidnap only one woman, just one woman and you still haven’t found her yet? How useless!" he spat out of anger.
A servant entered Jasmine’s room to serve her lunch, "Mam, your lunch is ready", Said the female servant.
Jasmine abruptly stood up to measure her height with the woman’s and surprisingly, their height was the same.
"I need your help", said Jasmine, taking the female servant off guard.
"With what?" The servant asked.
Jasmine opened her mouth to speak, "I need to leave here and you are the only one that can help me".
The servant immediately shook her head, "Am sorry mam but Mr. Davis said not to let you go anywhere. Please, I don’t want to lose my job".
"But you won’t be doing anything wrong, I need your help so that I can expose my father’s evil deeds. He is planning on killing someone today and if you don’t help me, that person’s blood will be on your head, now do you want that to happen?" she asked the servant who immediately shook her head. "So, will you help me?" She asked and the servant nodded. "Good, now quickly, let’s exchange clothes."
They both exchanged clothes and now Jasmine was wearing the maid’s uniform. She waited for the bodyguards who were stationed in front of her door to leave first until she heard one say,
"I’m going for a bathroom break".
"Go ahead, I will ask the servants if there are any snacks left, am starved", the other one replied.
"But the boss said that the both of us can’t leave at the same time", the first one reminded me.
"Quit worrying", said the second person. "Remember, the maid is still inside with her, and am sure she also knows what she should do".
"Yeah, whatever", said the second person and the both of them went away from there.
Jasmine waited until she didn’t hear any more footsteps before she turned the doorknob and stuck her head out first to be sure that no one was around.
When she was certain that the coast was clear, she turned to the servant who had covered herself with the duvet and whispered,
"Stay here and pretend to be me", and the maid nodded.
Jasmine closed the doors and tiptoed to the main door. Thankfully, there were no more bodyguards stationed around the house. She carefully opened the gates, saw Andrew’s car, and immediately hopped in.
"Your plan worked", she commented.
"You are welcome, so where to?" He asked.
"To the police station", she replied
At the police station, Jasmine brought out a copy of the USB cord that her father had snatched away from her and handed it to the police officer. The officer connected it to his computer and watched the video until the end.
"Would you like to file a case, Mam?" The officer asked her and she immediately nodded as if she took a second longer, she wouldn’t be able to do it. Even though he was her father, she still had to correct him for his wrongdoings.
At the Davis mansion, Mr. Davis was still in his study room, wondering why nothing was working in his favor until one of the bodyguards entered and informed him,
"Sir, the police officers are here."
