Jasmine Clark was still crying, but Juliet Jordan didn’t comfort her. Instead, she put down the teacup in her hand heavily and snorted coldly, “You still have the nerve to cry.”
“Mom?” Jasmine’s teary eyes widened.
Had she seen a ghost today? Why was everyone treating her like this?
It was bad enough that Brother William and Dad were angry at her, but why was her usually doting mom treating her this way? What had she done wrong?
Juliet’s gentle eyebrows were chilly, and she asked accusingly, “What did you do at The Singing Vault that day?”
The Singing Vault again… Jasmine’s eyes flickered, and she stopped crying.
Then she said grievously, “Mom, even you don’t trust ? I didn’t do anything. Enna frad ! She’s jealous that I’m together with Brother William, so she slandered in front of Dad and Brother William…”
“Enough!” Juliet interrupted her impatiently, “I know whether you did it or not. You can confess, or I’ll investigate.”
She had heard that Mayor Smith’s son had recently been disabled, and the police had arrested him without going to the hospital. Considering Mayor Smith’s sudden attack on their company and what Enna had said, she couldn’t help but think about Jasmine.
In front of the Sullivan family and Jacob Clark, she had to defend Jasmine. But in private, she had to find out the truth to avoid any bigger trouble.
“What did you do to Enna?”
“I…” In the family, Jasmine was most afraid of Juliet, who seed to have a gentle temperant. Juliet always ant what she said. If she said she would investigate, she would! Jasmine gritted her teeth and braced herself to say, “I introduced her to Finn Smith.”
“Introduced?”
Jasmine told her what had happened at The Singing Vault and defended herself unconvincingly, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I just wanted to introduce her to Young Master Smith. If she could marry into the Smith family, it would be good for our company. Even if she couldn’t enter the Smith family, being with Finn at least could bring so benefits to the family. Who would have known that that little bitch would be so ungrateful and offend Young Master Smith! And let the man who was keeping her hurt Young Master Smith!”
The more Jasmine spoke, the angrier she beca, “What’s wrong with Young Master Smith? He is, after all, Mayor Smith’s precious son. What is she? She has been living off our family for decades, and it’s difficult for her to contribute a little? All she knows is to say that we don’t treat her like family. If she really considered us as her family, she should have tried to please Young Master
Smith!”
Juliet had never imagined that Jasmine had done so much behind her back. She was so furious that her face turned green with anger. If it weren’t for the fact that Jasmine was her own daughter, she would have slapped her! She suppressed her anger and interrupted Jasmine, “Enough!”
“Mom?” Jasmine still didn’t realize what she had done wrong and looked at Juliet pitifully.
Juliet didn’t even look at her and warned her coldly, “You are not allowed to ntion this to anyone, understand? No matter who asks you, your trip to The Singing Vault that day was a coincidence!”
“I know, of course…”
Juliet continued, “And, I’ve told you to be polite to Enna in front of your dad.
How did you do?”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation, Jasmine. Rember, you’re not allowed to ntion Enna’s background in front of your dad anymore, and stop calling her an nas like ‘bitch’ and ‘bastard child’.”
If Enna was a bastard, what did that make Jacob?
She couldn’t believe her daughter was so clueless!
Juliet suppressed her anger, looked at Jasmine’s pitiful appearance, and softened her voice, “Let it go this ti. Don’t ss with Enna anymore, understand?”
Enna was rely a wild plant, while her daughter Jasmine was the legitimate First Young Lady of the Clark family. Why should she bother with a weed!
Jasmine’s tears fell again, and she clenched her fists tightly, hiding the resentnt in her eyes. Reluctantly, she said, “I understand..”
