The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2082

Charlie nodded his head lightly and looked toward Jasmine, who was beside him. "Yesterday, did Hashimoto first call you to ask you to sign the agreement with the President?" Jasmine answered confidently, "That's right. Hashimoto called me first to ask me to go to Nishitama to sign the agreement with the President."

Charlie snorted, "It looks like the problem is with Hashimoto. He is the one who deceived you to go to Nishitama. Then, he set a trap there along the mountain road." 3

Feeling confused, Jasmine asked, "Master Wade, I don't understand why Hashimoto would want to harm me? I've got nothing against him. Even before this, we've never crossed paths. Why would he set a trap to kill me?"

Charlie answered coldly, "Many perpetrators and victims don't know each other. The real urge for murdering the other party would most likely be benefits gained. If he kills you, he'll get his reward. That's why he's willing to do so." 1

Jasmine felt even more astonished, and she asked, "I honestly can't relate. If I were to die, how would it benefit him? He wouldn't get anything!" 3

Looking at Jasmine, Charlie replied seriously, "If you

died, it would be hard for him to get any benefits. But, more importantly, after you've died, someone else may give him some benefits!"

Jasmine's expression tightened immediately. "Master Wade... You... You mean... Someone employed him to kill me?!"

Charlie nodded his head determinedly. "I think that should be the case!"

Jasmine was nervous for a while. At the same time, she could not understand the reason. She mumbled," But... but... this doesn't make sense... I've never offended anyone! If I die, who would benefit from it?!" Charlie looked at her and laughed, but he did not say anything. This was because, in his mind, he already had an answer.

He had a hunch that the mastermind was most likely Reuben and his father, Tyler. 6

Charlie fully understood the situation in the Moore family.

Jasmine's parents had passed away early, and she had a few uncles in the house.

Among them, the influence of Reuben's father was the greatest.

This was because he was the eldest and had also been the appointed successor by grandpa initially.

Therefore, in Jasmine's life, Reuben had the strongest influence on her.

Moreover, Jasmine had no parents and was alone.

Thus, her influence was not as great. 3

Luckily, Lord Moore was there to care for and love her. Even though her parents were not around, she had experienced the treatment of a young lady.

If Lord Moore had had an old fashioned mindset and prioritized males over females, Jasmine would have been used as a matchmaking tool and married off to a rich boy of a particular family to be his wife. However, ever since Jasmine had come to know Charlie, her place in the Moore Family had gone up.

Initially, Lord Moore had been near death. It was Jasmine who had forced Charlie to come back from Yama Temple. Then, Charlie had also given Lord Moore the Rejuvenating Pill because of Jasmine. This pill helped him regain his health, and he seemed younger by twenty years. 4

Therefore, when Charlie presented the Rejuvenating Pill as a birthday present on Jasmine's birthday, Lord Moore had become emotional and had wanted to pass on the role of the head of the Moore family to Jasmine. 1

As a result, Jasmine had very quickly become the most powerful in the Moore family. Comparatively, Reuben and his father's power and influence had decreased dramatically.

Under these circumstances, Reuben and his father were very resentful toward Jasmine. 4

Once their dissatisfied emotions accumulated continuously over time, the idea of murdering Jasmine was born. All these things finally made sense!
