A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 439

me, Marina said, tears streaming down her face as she tried to make the situation sound more

“If I go back like this, my grandma will definitely kill me,

Marina was determined to make Jasmine sympathize with her. It didn’t matter if she had to humble herself as long as she could achieve her goal. Besides, no one was watching anyway.

“Mrs, Sullivan, please help me find a job at Sullivan Group. Only then can I face my grandma,” Marina pleaded. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasmine looked troubled. Seeing Marina, a young person, crying and kneeling in front of her like this did soften her heart a bit. However, she had no intention of helping

She hadn’t forgotten the things Marina had done.

Allowing someone like her into the company could lead to unforeseen problems

“Sorry, Liam is in charge of Sullivan Group now. I can’t make decisions now. You can go find my grandson, Jasmine said, trying to send Marina away as she moved to close the door. But Marina grabbed the hem of her nightgown and refused to let go,

Jasmine had no choice but to stop. She tried hard to persuade her, “Marina, I heard from your grandma that you are currently working at a Fortune 500 company. That’s already a great job. Why do you insist on joining Sullivan Group?”

“No, it’s not,” Marina shook her head repeatedly and quickly pleaded, “Mr. Sullivan, please help me. I promise to work very hard once I join the company.”

Her job was about to be ruined due to her way of handling things. She had a bad reputation in the circle, so some renowned companies abroad would not accept her

If she didn’t get into Sullivan Group, she would be stuck working in small companies and leading a poor life. It would be even harder to win over Jonathan’s heart then. However, she kept these thoughts to herself and just pleaded desperately.

Jasmine was annoyed by her, and David, who was inside the room, also heard the commation and wanted to check it out.

Since David’s leg hadn’t fully healed from a previous fall and he had caught a bit of a cold with the recent drop in temperature, Jasmine didn’t want him to worry. She called out to stop him. “David, it’s just Marina with some issues. Go back to sleep and I’ll come in soon.”

With that, Jasmine stood outside and gently closed the door.

She looked at Marina on the ground and spoke sincerely, like a family elder, “Marina, you are capable of your work. If you are willing to stay grounded, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Although Sullivan Croup is large, it is now under the control of Liam and Cynthia, so I can’t really help. If you truly want to stay in Clusia, I can recommend other companies for you.

Hearing this, Marina was stunned for a moment but quickly shook her head to refuse. “Mrs. Sullivan, I just want to join Sullivan Group. Since you are Liam’s grandma, you must have a way.”

She came back from abroad just to join Sullivan Group. There was no way she would consider those obscure small companies

Seeing that Marina was so stubborn, Jasmine didn’t want to persuade her any longer, and her face darkened. I’ve said all I can. If you remain this stubborn, there’s nothing more 1 can do. Now, I need to rest, so please leave

With that, she forcefully pulled her nightgown hem from Marina’s grasp.

Just as she turned to open the door, Marina lunged at her again, Caught off guard, Jasmine lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Because of her age, the fall left Jasmine lying on the ground for a long time.

Marina was also startled and froze in place, not knowing what to do.

After a long while, Jasmine finally recovered and angrily sat up from the ground. “You heartless girl, how could you be so reckless with your elders? It seems that you and your grandma are both vicious wolves‘

Jasmine was truly enraged. She cherished her life greatly, as she had plans to spend more time with Cynthia and even help take care of her great- grandchildren.

Jasmine struggled to stand up and was about to call for help. However, before she could unter a word, Marina covered her mouth.

“Mmm what the hell are you doing“” Jasmine’s muffled voice leaked out through Marina’s fingers-

Marina was now completely panicked, and she did this purely out of refles.

She only knew that if she didn’t succeed today, her future would be bleak. Her grandma alone could make her lose hope.

“Mrs. Sullivan, please help me,” Marina, almost in a trance, tightened her grip over Jasmine’s mouth and nose, repeating. “T11 let you go if you agree to help me

Her frantic actions filled Jasmine with fear. As the air in her lings gradually disappeared, she began to struggle desperately.

But as Marina’s madness took over, the force in her hands grew stronger than usual, and Jasmine couldn’t break free. During their struggle, they unknowingly moved to the edge of the staircase.

But Marina was completely unaware, still frantically demanding Jasmine to agree to her request.

Meanwhile, seeing that Jasmine hadn’t come back for a long time, David began to worry and decided to come out and check.

But as soon as he opened the door, the scene before him nearly made his heart stop.

Before he could call out for help, Marina seemed startled and pulled Jasmine back another step.

In that instant, both of them lost their footing and fell backward due to the momentum

David turned palle with fear,

They were on the second floor, and a fall from this height could be catastrophic for Jasmine.

Without much thought, David rushed forward on instinct. In the chaos, all three of them tumbled down the stairs.

Standing next to the wall, Marina stopped at the landing comer.

Jasmine was at the handrail side of the staircase, a more dangerous position. But fortunately, David, disregarding his own safety, pushed her and managed to make her stop at the landing corner as well

But unfortunately. David injured himself somehow and rolled all the way down to the living room, leaving a trail of bright red bloodstains on the

Jasmine, who had been thrown into a daze at the corner, regained her senses and saw David lying motionless on the living room floor.

“David” Jasmine exclained in shock, then stumbled and staggered down the stairs

She knelt on the ground, patting David’s face, her voice trembling. David, wake up. Don’t scare me.”

Although they quarreled all the time, Jasmine was genuinely terrified at that moment

On the other land. Marina didn’t get hurt because she was young, but she was a little stunned by the scene.

Marina thought, “How did things turn out like this! Would he be alright?”

She only wanted their help, never intending to harm anyone

Marina grabbed the handrail to stand up, only then realizing her legs were trembling

“What should I do? If Liam saw this, he’d kill me! Marina thought
