Enna Clark reluctantly put down her bag, ready to calm him down.
Unexpectedly, her cell phone rang in her bag.
She bent down to open her bag, took out her phone, saw the caller ID, and her smile instantly faded. She waited five or six seconds before answering, “Hello.”
Jacob Clark had already grown impatient waiting for her to pick up, and he immediately lowered his voice, questioning her, “Why did you send your sister to the police station?”
Enna clenched her phone, feeling numb. Their father-daughter relationship had been shallow for 20 years. He didn’t call her for months, and when he did, all he asked about was Jasmine Clark. Fortunately, she had come to terms with not having the Clark family. She still had Bobby and Baron Lawrence, so it wasn’t that big of a deal, “Didn’t the police tell you the reason?”
As soon as she brought this up, Jacob became irritated. Compared to Jasmine, he was actually more satisfied with Enna. She was well-behaved, sensible, and obedient. Unfortunately, Enna was that woman’s child, and he couldn’t bring himself to get close to her.
“They did.” Jacob’s voice softened for a rare moment as he spoke gently to her, “Enna, your sister is still young. As the older sister, let her have her way a little.”
“Young? Jasmine is only a year younger than me, isn’t she old enough? At least she should be able to tell right from wrong, right?” She paused, her mouth curling in a sarcastic smile. Judging by Jasmine’s behavior, she might not even have the ability to tell right from wrong! Enna added, “Even if she can’t discern right from wrong, she should at least know what is criminal.”
Her darling Bobby, only 5 years old, already knew what actions were illegal and criminal.
Jasmine was in her 20s, did she not know that drugging someone and *** was a crime?!
“Don’t you have nothing to do with it? Alright, we’re a family, don’t make it sound so serious.” Gavin Jordan cut her off impatiently, “When your sister comes back, I’ll teach her a lesson. Let’s leave it at that for now. Also, Auntie May said you’re not getting any younger, and she’s helped you buy a suite in Linton City Center. You should come back in a few days.”
Juliet Jordan helped her buy a suite? Heh, did they think that someone as poor as her should be grateful?
Enna’s eyes turned cold. Yes, she was poor, but she hadn’t stooped so low as to sell her body or dignity. Juliet Jordan thought she could settle things this way, but she was wrong.
This time, she really wasn’t going to let it go so easily.
“You can give that suite to Jasmine, I don’t want it. I just want Jasmine to get the punishment she deserves.”
Jacob didn’t expect her to give him no face at all, his voice turning cold again as he scolded, “What kind of punishment do you want for your sister? Jail? Enna, have you caused enough trouble?! I know you’ve been wronged this time, and Jasmine did do something wrong, but how many times do I have to tell you. She’s your sister, and you’re her elder sister. Can’t you let her off the hook a little? Do you really have to air our dirty laundry? The company is about to go public, and you’re making a big fuss about it. What’s the point!? Have you ever thought about this family, about me, and about the company?”
Not waiting for Enna to speak, he unilaterally concluded, “Alright, think about it yourself, I have work to do. That’s it.”
“Beep beep…” Busy tone on the other end of the phone.
Enna pursed her lips tightly.
Just then, Baron Lawrence came down from the second-floor study and saw her standing in the living room with her phone, his heart suddenly sinking..
