Chapter 108: Chapter 108: It was indeed done by Jasmine Clark!
Jasmine Clark was still crying, but Juliet Jordan didnāt comfort her. Instead, she put down the teacup in her hand heavily and snorted coldly, āYou still have the nerve to cry.ā
āMom?ā Jasmineās 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?
Julietās gentle eyebrows were chilly, and she asked accusingly, āWhat did you do at The Singing Vault that day?ā
The Singing Vault again⦠Jasmineās eyes flickered, and she stopped crying.
Then she said grievously, āMom, even you donāt trust me? I didnāt do anything. Enna framed me! Sheās jealous that Iām together with Brother William, so she slandered me in front of Dad and Brother Williamā¦ā
āEnough!ā Juliet interrupted her impatiently, āI know whether you did it or not. You can confess, or Iāll investigate.ā
She had heard that Mayor Smithās son had recently been disabled, and the police had arrested him without going to the hospital. Considering Mayor Smithās sudden attack on their company and what Enna had said, she couldnāt 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.
āWhat did you do to Enna?ā
āIā¦ā In the family, Jasmine was most afraid of Juliet, who seemed to have a gentle temperament. Juliet always meant what she said. If she said she would investigate, she would! Jasmine gritted her teeth and braced herself to say, āI introduced her to Finn Smith.ā
Jasmine told her what had happened at The Singing Vault and defended herself unconvincingly, āI didnāt 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 couldnāt enter the Smith family, being with Finn at least could bring some 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!ā
The more Jasmine spoke, the angrier she became, āWhatās wrong with Young Master Smith? He is, after all, Mayor Smithās precious son. What is she? She has been living off our family for decades, and itās difficult for her to contribute a little? All she knows is to say that we donāt treat her like family. If she really considered us as her family, she should have tried to please Young Master
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 werenāt for the fact that Jasmine was her own daughter, she would have slapped her! She suppressed her anger and interrupted Jasmine, āEnough!ā
āMom?ā Jasmine still didnāt realize what she had done wrong and looked at Juliet pitifully.
Juliet didnāt even look at her and warned her coldly, āYou are not allowed to mention this to anyone, understand? No matter who asks you, your trip to The Singing Vault that day was a coincidence!ā
āI know, of courseā¦ā
Juliet continued, āAnd, Iāve told you to be polite to Enna in front of your dad.
āI donāt want to hear your explanation, Jasmine. Remember, youāre not allowed to mention Ennaās background in front of your dad anymore, and stop calling her mean names like ābitchā and ābastard childā.ā
If Enna was a bastard, what did that make Jacob?
She couldnāt believe her daughter was so clueless!
Juliet suppressed her anger, looked at Jasmineās pitiful appearance, and softened her voice, āLet it go this time. Donāt mess with Enna anymore, understand?ā
Enna was merely a wild plant, while her daughter Jasmine was the legitimate First Young Lady of the Clark family. Why should she bother with a weed!
Jasmineās tears fell again, and she clenched her fists tightly, hiding the resentment in her eyes. Reluctantly, she said, āI understand..ā
