Gilbert Jordanâs heart jumped, and he was so shocked that the corners of his eyes kept twitching, âYou were involved?â
Juliet Jordan sighed, âI was involved.â
ââ¦.â Gilbert didnât know what to say. She was his own sister, his only sister, so he could only comfort her, âForget it, that woman deserved to die anyway!â
âNo, brother. Do you know what made me see through Jacob Clark?â Juliet became emotional, clutching his arm tightly. She was so agitated that she didnât even notice she had scratched his skin with her manicure, drawing blood. âJacob Clark deceived me! Not only did he deceive me, but he also deceived that woman!â
âIt wasnât until the private detective gave me the results of his investigation that I found out. The woman surnamed Lewis didnât even know he was married from the beginning. He deceived her with his status as a president, seduced her into getting pregnant, and even tried to send her abroad to be his mistress.â
âLater, I donât know who told the woman about his marriage. She stubbornly refused to go abroad and didnât want to have anything more to do with him. She just said she would raise the child by herself after giving birth. However, at that time, his affair with the woman surnamed Lewis was already well-known, and everyone knew he had found a mistress behind my back who was pregnant and about to give birth. In order to save his reputation, Jacob bribed the doctorâ¦â
Juliet continued, her face filled with anguish, âI just happened to intercept them at the hospital, planning to catch him red-handed and divorce him. Instead, I was used by him and dragged into this mess.â
Gilbert listened, dumbfounded. He had never imagined that this past event had so many twists and turns.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Juliet took a deep breath, returning to a state that a should befit the First Young Lady, and calmly said, âSo, brother, Jacob Clark will never let me divorce him. Neither of us trusts each other; only by staying bound together on the same boat can we feel secure.â
âAs for Jasmineâs matter, he didnât touch my bottom line. If he does, I wonât be a pushover either! As long as I hold this trump card and threaten Jacob, if that illegitimate daughter still cares about the fact that Jacob is her biological father, there shouldnât be any trouble.â
Upstairs on the second floor, Jasmine Clark hid behind the stair railing, covering her mouth, her eyes flickering intensely.
What was Mom saying? Ennaâs biological mother wasnât a mistress, but someone who was deceived by her dad unknowingly?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
That woman was just after their familyâs fortune, deliberately seducing her dad and then getting pregnant in order to climb up the ranks. It was definitely like this!
Jasmineâs heart was beating fast. As she tried to convince herself, she also felt somewhat unable to do so.
At that moment, she suddenly realized her phone was still connected in a call. And the person she was talking to was Ennaâs Auntie, Michelle Lewis! It was because she had received a call from Michelle demanding money that she had left the study, unintentionally overhearing the huge secret that Juliet Jordan had been hiding for over twenty years.
It was over.
Jasmineâs hand trembled, almost dropping her phone, but luckily her quick reflexes caught it in time.
No, she couldnât let her mom know that she had caused trouble again.
Jasmine clenched her phone and quickly returned to the study. Picking up the phone again, she tried her best to sound calm, âHello.â
From the other end of the phone, Michelleâs smug voice came through quickly, âFirst Young Lady Clark, todayâs call really gave me quite a bit of valuable information..
