Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Have you ever liked me?
She opened the door of the BMW and sat down inside.
She looked down at her phone, sitting in the driver’s seat for a while. Clenching her teeth, she still dialed the familiar number.
The electronic tone sounded for over ten seconds.
Just as it was about to automatically disconnect, the person on the other end picked up the call.
Jasmine Clark’s heart soared with joy, and she lifted the corners of her mouth to the phone, shouting, “Brother William.”
“…” The response she got was the rustling sound of static.
Her spirits, which had soared, plummeted to rock bottom. One hand clutched the steering wheel tight, so hard that her knuckles turned white. She compressed her lips as if it took all her strength to finally speak, “I called to ask you a question.”
“Brother William, did you ever like me?” Without waiting for a response, she continued, “I’m not talking about the romantic kind of liking, just the ordinary kind. It doesn’t have to be special, just the most common type of liking. Did you ever feel even a little bit of that for me?”
William Sullivan was silent for a long time before he said, “When you were Enna’s sister, I liked you a lot.”
——When you were Enna’s sister, I liked you a lot!
Jasmine Clark’s heart suddenly felt as though it had been punched.
Her eyes quickly reddened, and tears rolled down.
“Jasmine, listen to me, turn yourself in. You’re only sentenced to seven years, spend that time reflecting in prison, strive for good behavior, and you could be out in three or four years. When you come out, I’ll help you find a job. Turning back now isn’t too late.”
“I can’t turn back!” Jasmine Clark suddenly interrupted him, her tone fierce, “Why should I turn back! What did I do wrong? From the start, it was all your fault! I’m the First Young Lady of the Clark Family, how am I any worse than Enna Clark? Why do you like her and not me? She’s just born from a mistress, and knowing you were her brother-in-law, she still seduced you. She has no shame! Just like her mother, no shame at all!”
William Sullivan’s voice turned cold, “Jasmine, I’ll say it again, our marriage arrangement is already called off. Even before we called it off, Enna never did what you’re accusing her of.”
“She did do it. Even if she hadn’t, you were engaged to me, so why did you keep running off to Capital City? It’s all because she was there!”
“Not right, she even found a helper for herself, she introduced her good friend to you. Ha!”
She had completely forgotten that it was not Enna Clark who pushed Cherysh Jordan toward William Sullivan, but she herself had done it.
Now, she blamed all her mistakes on Enna Clark.
As if by doing so, she could alleviate some of the pain in her heart!
“I don’t understand, I really don’t, where do I fall short compared to her, why can’t you like me? What’s wrong with me? Brother William, tell me, where did I go wrong. I can change, into someone you like…” After her emotional outburst, her tone shifted to one of desperate pleading.
William Sullivan keenly sensed her emotional instability and frowned as he asked, “Jasmine, where are you now? I’ll come to you.”
“I’m at…” She nearly blurted out ‘airport’. At the crucial moment, she stopped herself, warily asking, “You want to bring the police?”
“I’ll take you to a doctor,” William Sullivan tried to remain calm and not agitate her.
But Jasmine Clark vehemently refused, “I don’t need to see a doctor! You just want to bring the police to me for Enna Clark, for that little wretch! I won’t be fooled!”
