She cried uncontrollably.
Juliet Jordanâs heart softened as she cried, pulling her up and holding her shoulders, saying, âJasmine, listen to me, you should follow your dadâs advice and go to the police station to turn yourself in.â
âI wonât go! Iâll never go there!â Jasmine vehemently resisted.
Juliet almost wanted to slap her again, but seeing her bloodshot eyes, she couldnât bring herself to do it. She tightly held Jasmineâs shoulders and looked into her eyes, emphasizing again, âYou have to go whether you want to or not! Did your dad seem like he was asking for your opinion today?â
Thinking of Jacobâs attitude, Jasmine couldnât help but feel heartbroken and started sobbing again, repeatedly saying, âI wonât go to jail. Iâm still so young. I wonât go. If I do, my life is ruined. Mom, when I joined the entertainment industry, you didnât help me either. Now that I finally made a name for myself, if I go to the police station, my star career is over. You might as well just kill me.â
âYou think dying would solve the problem? Your dad would never let that happen!â She was still so naive; Juliet had no choice but to spell it out for her. âListen, Jasmine, youâre not getting any younger. You have to take responsibility for the mess youâve created. Your dad and I told you countless times not to tell Enna about what happened five years ago. But you wouldnât listen to us and insisted on telling her. Now that it has happened, you have to deal with it.â
âIf you turn yourself in, your punishment might be lighter. If you wait for Enna to post the recording online and the police come looking for you, youâre truly done for.â
âEither way, Iâll end up in jail. Whatâs the difference?â
âThere is a difference!â Juliet was eerily calm. Holding her shoulder, she made Jasmine look into her eyes. âIf you turn yourself in, your father will use all means necessary to protect his reputation and help you suppress the remaining recordings. As long as the recordings donât spread, thereâs still a chance for redemption.â
âBut Iâd still end up in jail.â
âWho told you that youâd go to jail?â Juliet had a plan up her sleeve. She squinted her eyes and patted Jasmineâs shoulder. âDonât worry, I wonât let you go to jail. But from now on, you have to listen to me.â
Jasmineâs mood improved considerably when she heard she wouldnât have to go to jail. With teary eyes, she nodded and agreed, âOkay, Iâll listen to you.â
Juliet expressionlessly pulled her along, saying, âCome downstairs with me now and apologize to Enna.â
Jasmineâs face momentarily flashed with reluctance, but this time she didnât protest. With a hint of humiliation in her eyes, she unwillingly stood up and followed Juliet downstairs.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Downstairs.
Jacob Clark had been waiting impatiently.
Seeing them come down, he looked at Jasmine with a grim face. Jasmine unconsciously moved closer to Juliet. Discreetly stepping in front of her, Juliet blocked Jacobâs sinister gaze and said, âIâve talked to Jasmine and she admitted her mistakes. Sheâs willing to apologize to Enna and turn herself in at the police station.â
Jacobâs face was originally harsh, but upon hearing her words, his expression slightly eased. He glanced at Jasmine and asked, âHave you really thought it through?â
As long as she didnât have to go to jail, Jasmine was willing to do anything. She immediately nodded, âYes.â
Jacobâs face looked much better and he handed her the phone, âHere, call your sister and apologize.â
Still suspicious, he added, âApologize sincerely. If you talk to your sister with the same attitude you had at home, donât blame me if I lose my temper!â
Enduring the humiliation, Jasmine took the phoneâ¦.
