Chapter 468: Who are you to Sylvan?
Charles Mcintosh hung up after finishing his words.
Jasmine Yale opened the door and looked at the couch—
Sylvan Cheney was still fast asleep, which was rare.
He typically lived a regulated lifestyle and woke up early in the morning.
He must have been utterly exhausted.
Jasmine walked over and picked up the blanket from the floor to cover him.
She grabbed his car keys and cellphone, quietly walked out the door, and walked downstairs.
In a private room, a middle-aged man stood before a large, floor-to-ceiling window.
His suit was immaculate and he was very tall.
In his hand was a cup of steaming American coffee.
The moment Jasmine walked in, the door closed, and Teagan Cheney turned his head.
A hint of surprise crossed his eyes but vanished quickly.
He set his coffee cup down and sized up Jasmine from head to toe.
“Are you the lady over the phone?” Teagan Cheney asked.
Jasmine looked him over as well.
This man and Sylvan bore a family resemblance. Admittedly, although he was middle-aged, he was still very handsome.
No wonder he was chased down by Sylvan Cheney’s mother.
This type of man could be summed up in four words—
A wolf in gentleman’s clothing.
“That was me.” Jasmine stared at him calmly.
“What is your relationship with Sylvan? Is he still asleep? Or does he lack the courage to see me?” Teagan Cheney sneered.
“What courage is needed to meet someone like you?” Jasmine retorted, “If you want to see Mr. Cheney, you should consider if you are worthy.”
Jasmine had no fear of offending Teagan Cheney.
Over the years, she hadn’t done anything for Sylvan.
When men handle such matters, they might face restrictions; especially when it’s his father.
However, she was different. She had no relation to Teagan Cheney.
For twelve years, Sylvan had sheltered and protected her.
Let this… be the last thing she would do for him.
“Young lady, you had better let Sylvan come here. Otherwise, I can’t promise not to bring harm to you.”
“Even if you resort to violence, it wouldn’t surprise me. After all, you’re the kind of person who could abandon his home and family,” Jasmine responded without fear.
“Why are you defending Sylvan? Did he ask you to do that?”
“Do I need him to ask me to call out a man who lacks responsibility? Even if you weren’t Mr. Cheney’s father, I would not tolerate someone like you.”
“Nobody has ever dared to talk to me like that, not even Qiana Childe.” Teagan Cheney forced out a cold laugh.
“How dare you mention your own wife? You are not even worthy to mention her name!” Jasmine yelled. With a quick grab, she seized the coffee cup off the table.
She swung her arm, hurling the piping hot coffee at Teagan Cheney!
“Who the hell do you think you are, you deserve to lecture me?!”Teagan Cheney lost his temper.
He couldn’t dodge Jasmine’s attack and was left soaked in coffee.
It happened too fast for him to dodge!
“Let me ask you something, have you ever done right by anyone? Mr. Cheney’s mother? Mr. Cheney? Or your mistress? You couldn’t do right by any of them! You’re just a selfish man who only cares about his own interests, and you treat women as your playthings and tools!”
Jasmine was furious with this shameless man.
Truly, a gentleman in appearance but a beast within.
“Miss, on what authority do you lecture me? Don’t forget, Sylvan is engaged, and you’re still clinging to him. Doesn’t that make you the mistress? Sylvan is more despicable than me.”
“At least he has never abandoned his home and children!”
