Chapter 6. The Beginning Of Misfortune

Jasmine could hear the whispers around but she didn't concentrate on that. She was aware that everyone was in shock and they weren't expecting to see Kingsley Elm who has a bad reputation.

She intentionally did not look at her parents because she was sure they would start to question her.

Jack was the worst, he roughly grabbed her arm and whispered-yelled at her "What the fuck is wrong with you, Jasmine?? Why him? Why are you doing this?" His eyes were almost red in anger.

Jasmine's jaw tightened as anger built up in her chest. She tried to release her arm from his grip but he tightened his grip more as he growled with killing intents in his eyes "Revoke your words now!!" He threatened in a low voice.

The priest tried to intervene but Jack sent him a death glare, making him pause.

"Take your filthy hands off her if you would love to still keep them for a while!" Kingsley threatened, his loud voice descending in the hall as he walked straight towards the aisle.

His presence seemed to have magnet everyone's eyes on him, his back was straight as he walked in long strides towards the aisle.

Jack loosened his grip a little with a deep frown on his face. Jasmine's brows joined together in anger as she took a step away from Jack.

Kingsley reached the aisle and came towards Jasmine. He stood close to her, she raised her head to stare at him but he just looked straight ahead, holding gazes with Jack.

"Kingsley Elm..." Jack growled and Kingsley just smirked when he saw the veins popping on Jack's forehead.

How much he loved this sight! He loves to trample on this little 'ant' called Jack.

Kingsley raised a brow at Jack as Jack fumed. As if he was irrelevant, Kingsley turned his attention to Jasmine "Let's get married" without any delay, he just wanted to get this done and get out of there.

He was sure everyone was shocked by his presence and they were also disgusted.

He acted as if he didn't notice those looks. Those were the same scornful looks he has been getting for years. And honestly, he resented them too!

"I interject" Mr Moore Trevor spoke up and Jasmine sighed heavily as she weakly begged.

"Dad, please.." She stood close to Kingsley. Kingsley didn't bother with her father, he had no business in their family's affair. All he wanted was the bride, nothing else mattered to him.

Moore scolded his daughter for the first time "Enough, Jasmine. I won't let you get married to this man with no good reputation!"

Reporters smirked as they saw another perfect headlines to publish. They had the biggest news of all time now! Different turn of events.

The spectators couldn't sit still anymore as they nod along,supporting Jasmine's father.

Everyone else's thoughts were different from Jack's though. His only concern was the benefits he could get from this wedding. He can't afford to not get married to Jasmine, he must get his hands on Trevor's wealth so he can elope with Lucinda.

He won't allow anyone to come in his way. Sulking up to Jasmine's father, Jack held his hand as he pleaded "Please, Father. I honestly think Kingsley must have brainwashed her or blackmailed her. I love your daughter, please help me" he begged, earning the sympathy of the crowds, and Jasmine's parents.

Jasmine rolled her eyes "You are just a green snake in a green grass. You are a deceiver, Jack! Shut up with it already!" She was frustrated too, she couldn't tell everyone what happened. Who would believe her?? They might think she ran insane!

Kingsley stayed at the side as Mr Moore snapped at his precious daughter "Jasmine, if you don't get married to Jack then the wedding is off!"

Jasmine's mother quickly held her husband's sleeve as she spoke up "Honey, she's an adult—"

"And so what?? I am her father and I can't sit down and watch her get married to a monster like Kingsley Elm who murdered his parents in cold blood! Never!" He said without any regard.

His words made a frown cloud Kingsley's face immediately, his fists were balled as the anger coursed through him.

Jack successfully hid his victorious smile when he heard that. As long as Kingsley keeps having that bad name, he would be alright.

"Mr Moore Trevor, I would like for you to watch your tongue before you see it fall on the floor!" Kingsley's eyes deepened as he stared down at Him.

Jasmine cleared her throat in nervousness. She had thought about this outcome but never knew things would be this heated. "Mom, Dad..."

Before she could complete her words, Kingsley beat her to it "For your information, you are pushing your daughter to something that will harm her! Jack Raven is a pest and the beginning of trouble and also the center of everything unfortunate"

Jasmine swallowed back her remaining words, happy how Kingsley was roosting Jack without much effort.

"Yes, Dad. Jack is the worst!" She said before wrapping her arms around Kingsley's.

Her sudden touch of possession made Kingsley stiffened a little. He stared at her arm and then at her face and his face was filled with mixed emotions.

Jack shook his head "You lying bastard. You stole everything from me and now…you want my wife too?"

His pain-filled statements made everyone sad and supported him. They saw Kingsley In another worst shade of wickedness. They rebuked Kingsley and claimed he was a monster and a Bully.

Kingsley didn't try to prove anything as that was something he did for too long and when no one else believed him except his grandfather, he stopped trying to get people to believe him!

Moore scoffed at Kingsley "You are the bad thing that will happen to her!"

Kingsley calmly told him "And what if I show you how much of a harm Jack is to her??"

Jasmine quickly snapped her head at him "How??" She whimpered. Kingsley only gave her a side look before turning to face Moore Trevor who was suddenly quiet.

Jack was unsettled, he had a very bad feeling about this thing Kingsley was about to show. He can feel it will not be something he'd like.

After a short time, Moore gritted out "Fine."

Hearing that, Kingsley's smile spread a little in appreciation before it disappeared again. "Okay." With that, he signaled Raymond who immediately switched on the projector.

A few men Kingsley came along with instructed the man controlling the projector that was made to show slides of Jasmine and Jack's pictures together. They inserted a flash drive and soon,a video popped up on the screen.

The moment the video began, the spectators eyes widened in shock but their eyes remained glued to the video, they couldn't believe what they were watching on the TV with Jack in it....

Jack was actually in the clip, and that made all eyes fall on Jack who stood there motionless as if he was poured cold water. His face was drained of color!
