Juliet Jordan was busy defending Jasmine Clark, âIndeed, whatâs done is done. Even if Jasmine were to die, it wouldnât help. Whatâs most important is how to resolve this issue now.â
Gavin Jordan was also wondering how to resolve the issue. His eyebrows furrowed, he coldly declared, âIâve instructed the secretary to have the Public Relations suppress the news. But how much could be suppressed, I do not know. â
Juliet Jordan approached him, gently soothing his back, she softly said, âActually, Jacob, I think Jasmine said something right. No matter what, this is a family scandal. Everyone knows that it should not be publicised. Enna is of an age where she should understand this. Moreover, your company is about to go public. At such a crucial juncture, for her to hold on to a recording and release it nowâ¦â
Jacob Clark was also angry at Enna for pulling such a stunt at this time but he was not one to be easily swayed. He glared at Jasmine, huffed coldly and said, âIf she has done no wrong, why would she fear being recorded? There would have been no problem at home, if not for whatever she stirred up. The scandal is of her own making!â
Jasmine was about to object indignantly.
Juliet shot her a stern look and Jasmine quickly silenced herself.
âWe all heard the recording, the part on the internet has the smallest impact. If
Enna releases the rest of the recordings, Jasmine will be done for.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShe deserves it!â
Jacob had a stern expression.
Upon witnessing Jacobâs lack of fatherly affection, Juliet felt a chill in her heart, but could only softly warn him, âJasmine may deserve it, but your reputation, and the companyâs reputation, could be at stake.â
Reputation!
She had hit Jacob square in his Achillesâ heel. The one thing Jacob cared about most in his life was his reputation. Reminded of it, Jacobâs anger somewhat abated as his brows furrowed yet again in thought. After a moment, he asked, âSo what do you suggest?â
âHow about this, you call Enna and try to persuade her?â she suggested uncertainly, âEnna and I were never close when she was growing up, if not for that, I would have tried to reason with her myself.â Persuade?
Chances are, Enna would not listen to his persuasion.
Jacob Clark suddenly had the feeling that his daughter, who in his memory, was always docile and almost non-existent, had emerged from the cocoon into a butterfly.
âNo,â Jacob drew a long breath, the weight on his heart unfazed by his sigh of relief. He contemplated for a moment and decided, âTake Jasmine to the police station to surrender immediately.â
Jasmine panicked, âDad, are you crazy? I donât want to go to jail.â
She tightly grips Julietâs sleeve as her hands tremble, âMom, Mom, help me. Iâm still young and about to get married. I canât go to jail, I wonât survive in jail.â
Even though her daughter frustrated her, Julietâs heart ached as she was the fruit of her own womb. However, she was smarter than Jasmine, knowing that Jacob wouldnât change his mind once he had made a decision, especially since he was a self-serving and cold-hearted man.
Her lips tightened, and she decided to return to her parental home to seek the help of her brothers.
âWhen you do something wrong, they you will suffer the consequences! This is decided then. Send her to the police station right away,â Jacob said and suddenly as if struck by a thought, he said, âWait..â
