So when Mayor Smith came to him about this matter, he didn’t think too much, he just wanted to resolve it quickly.
Now, when Enna suddenly questioned him, he recalled what Jasmine had said to him before, and an inexplicable anger surged in him. He said somberly, “If Mayor Smith said so, it must be true. If there was nothing wrong, people wouldn’t know about you since you just came back to the country.”
Enna’s heart turned cold, and she hooked the corner of her mouth, suddenly laughing, “Why does he know me? Didn’t Jasmine tell you?”
Jasmine’s face stiffened, and she retorted sharply, “What do you mean? If you want to say something, say it. Don’t drag me into it.”
“You should know very well what I mean. Weren’t you at the Money House that day?” Enna didn’t want to endure anymore. Why should she? In this family, there wasn’t a single person who treated her like a family member. She didn’t need to live as a submissive, white lotus.
William looked at her, Jasmine’s eyes flickered in panic, and she quickly explained, “I was meeting a friend.”
“You were meeting a friend and specifically brought Mr. Sullivan along?” Enna sneered, “What a coincidence.”
Indeed, it was too much of a coincidence!
During her days in the hospital, she kept thinking about the meaning of ‘the girl Jasmine introduced’ as mentioned by Finn Smith. After considering every possibility, she could only think of one reasonable explanation. Jasmine had introduced Finn to her aunt, and through her aunt’s hands, sold Enna out.
Meanwhile, Jasmine just happened to bring William Sullivan to the Money House, and William happened to witness her improper relationship with Finn, pulling and tugging…
If she hadn’t experienced it herself, she couldn’t believe that someone as young as Jasmine could be so malicious.
Even more unimaginable was that this malice would be directed at her.
Yes, she didn’t like Jasmine, but no matter what, Jasmine was her sister from the same father but different mothers. She didn’t like Jasmine, but she had never thought of doing anything to her.
Looking back, she had been too naive.
Just because she didn’t have thoughts of harming Jasmine didn’t mean Jasmine wouldn’t harm her.
William wasn’t stupid; he thought of what Enna had thought of. His gentle eyes instantly turned cold, and he scrutinized the young girl beside him for the first time, frowning, “Jasmine, shouldn’t you explain yourself to me?”
Jasmine’s heartbeat raced under his gaze, trying to explain, but unable to find a perfect excuse. She could only tear up, looking at him with tears streaming down her face, as if she had suffered a great grievance, “Brother William, don’t you trust me?”
“I just want to clarify.”
“Clarify what? How I hurt someone? I didn’t!” She looked injured, eyes wide open, “Just because my sister casually said a few words, you suspect me?” With that, she threw herself into Juliet Jordan’s embrace, sobbing.
Juliet gently patted her back to comfort her, while raising her head, saying discontentedly, “That day Jasmine’s good friend returned to the country and invited her to a reunion at Money House. I didn’t feel comfortable letting her go there alone, so I asked her to call William. Jasmine’s friend called when your dad was present. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, your dad knows best.”
Jacob Clark had always felt that he owed her because of Enna’s existence. As soon as she spoke, Jacob’s face darkened, and he said, “Enough, I was there that day, and Jasmine’s friend did indeed call and invite her to Money House. Enna, you shouldn’t keep entertaining wild thoughts all day..”
