Flintâs gaze became profound and cold.
He stared at Jasmine with a sneer and said, âSo, do you think you have a chance to be with me?â
âIt doesnât matter if I have the chance or not. You shouldnât be with a woman like Adina again!â Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, âShe has two kids, and theyâre illegitimate children with an unknown father.
Youâre the young master of the Morton family. You should ââ
âShut up!â
Flint stopped her from finishing her sentence. His eyes were filled with coldness. âI asked Adina for help to reject you because I wanted to defend your dignity. Who the heck are you to criticize Adina?â
After he said that, he glanced at Jasmine with contempt. Then, he turned around and left.
Jasmine was so angry that she trembled. She and Flint had been in a relationship a few years ago. But after she fell in love with him, Flint broke up with her.
She never forgot him all these years. After she finally met him again, she put aside the reservation and restraint that a woman would typically have, ignoring her dignity as she went after him. Unexpectedly, this unattainable man was a fan of another woman. âD*mn it! B*stard!â
Jasmine kept cursing on the way back to the Jones family home. As soon as she stepped into the house, Zhenny targeted her. âYou havenât gone to the company lately. Where have you been?â âI wasnât feeling well, so I applied for a few days off.â While Jasmine explained, the cold Zhenny angrily said, âWerenât feeling well? Stop giving me this bullsh*t excuse! Youâll have to report the outcome of your project in seven days. If you have nothing to show for, youâre not qualified to be my daughter!â Jasmine held her breath and said, âThat project is complete, and itâs in the audit and accounting phase now.
There wonât be any problems.â âThatâs more like it.â
Zhenny was finally satisfied. She then picked up some documents and went to the study. Jasmine felt so wronged that her eyes turned red.
Her mother only forced her to work and did not care about her personal life. She was furious, yet she still needed to handle her work.
At this time, a man in his fifties walked inside.
He was dressed in a dark blue suit, and his black hair was shiny. He had exquisite features and appeared to be in good spirits.
âUncle Dillon.â
Jasmineâs voice cracked as she walked over and held his arm.
âWhatâs the matter? Did your mother yell at you again?â Dillon shook his head. âYour mother has a bad temper. If you donât wander around her, you wonât get yelled at. You have to remember that.â
Jasmine pursed her lips.
Her mother was aggressive, and her uncle was naturally inferior to her mother. What was the point of complaining to her uncle?
Butâ¦
âUncle Dillon, thereâs something Iâve never told you. I actually have a boyfriend, and weâre very in love.
But my boyfriendâs been seduced by another woman, and he insists on breaking up with me.â
Dillon narrowed his eyes. âTell me what the name of that brat is. Iâll seek justice for you!â
âUncle Dillon, this has nothing to do with my boyfriend. Itâs all that womanâs fault,â Jasmine gritted her teeth and said.
âJasmine, youâre wrong,â Dillon said sincerely. âIf your boyfriendâs attracted to another woman, thatâs because thereâs something wrong with his character. The main responsibility should be on your boyfriend. Heâs the kind of man you shouldnât be with. Iâll find a better one for you after I beat him up.â
Jasmine was speechless
