Translator: 549690339

“Dad!” The tears Jasmine Clark had just stopped started to flow again.

Though Jacob Clark’s heart ached, he remained firm this time. With a stern face, he insisted, “No means no, don’t even think about it.”

“I just like Brother William, if you don’t agree, then I’d rather not marry anyone in my life!” Seeing that crying was not working, Jasmine’s spoiled temperament surged out as she threatened.

“You—’ Jacob Clark was almost breathless with anger, his chest heaving violently.

Juliet Jordan quickly stepped forward to lightly caress his chest, comforting him in a soft voice, “It’s alright, don’t be angry with Jasmine, what if you hurt yourself from getting so upset?”

“But just look at her! Is this how a Clark Family daughter should behave?” Fuming, Jacob Clark pointed at Jasmine.

Jasmine had been spoiled since she was young and had developed quite a temper. Even seeing her father’s anger, she couldn’t help but retort, “What’s wrong with the way I am? What’s so wrong about liking Brother William? I might not be perfect, but at least I’m better than Sister. She only cared about money and was already in some stranger’s bed at the age of 18!”

Jacob’s face turned red with fury. Pushing Juliet away, he raised his hand and slapped Jasmine across the face. Not even looking at her tear-streaked face, he left her with these words: “You need to come to your senses. Until you do, I will freeze your bank account. ”

With that, he turned and went upstairs.

After the sound of the study door slamming shut, Jasmine hugged Juliet and sobbed, “Mom, I only mentioned Auntie and her daughter and he hit me. I can’t live like this anymore.”

Juliet felt a pang in her heart as well. She embraced Jasmine and gently patted her to soothe her, “Alright, don’t cry. You shouldn’t have said what you did in front of your father, and you’re forbidden from ever saying it again in front of him.”

Jasmine didn’t expect her to neither help nor support her, she straightened up, her expression a mix of stubbornness and grievance, “I didn’t say anything wrong. Enna is Auntie’s child, why can’t I say that?”

“It’s all because of her shameless mother, who knew your father was married but still interfered with someone else’s marriage. She even gave birth to such a little shameless child.” After angrily finishing her words, Jasmine widened her eyes and looked at Juliet, “Mom, you’re not truly virtuous enough to treat Enna as your own daughter, are you?”

In her forties, Juliet had taken good care of herself, her smooth and tight skin made her look like she was in her early thirties. Most remarkably, she had always carried herself with the poise of a well-bred lady. However, upon hearing Jasmine’s words, that poise was torn apart for a moment, and her well-kept face contorted, “How could that be possible?”

“Then why…”

Suppressing the anger within her, Juliet regained her elegant and dignified demeanor, speaking softly, “Jasmine, how many times have I taught you, always remain calm. Those who can stay calm are the ones who will have the last laugh. Do you really think your father likes Enna that much?”

Jasmine didn’t understand, “Isn’t that the case? Every time I say something bad about her, Dad gets angry.”

Juliet scoffed, “He gets angry because you’ve touched a nerve, not because you’ve insulted his daughter.”

If Jacob Clark really loved Enna that much, he wouldn’t have allowed the differential treatment towards her for all these years. And back then, he wouldn’t have… done that.

“However, Jasmine, concerning William Sullivan, listen to your father. If he

doesn’t like you, just let it go..”
