Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Jacob Clark is your dad, not mine.
Translator: 549690339
“Enna Clark, what do you mean?”
“What do I mean? Can’t you understand?” Enna Clark pressed her shoulder firmly, pushing her back into the chair, and continued calmly, “Actually, I need to thank you, Jasmine Clark. You made me realize something today that I’ve been unable to figure out for all these years. Where did a bastard child of a mistress like me get a dad from? The moment my Mom chose wrongly, my Dad died. These years, I’ve been mistaken in thinking that I belonged to the Clark Family. But I don’t, Jasmine Clark. There’s only one legitimate daughter in the
Clark family and that’s you. As for me? For the past twenty years, I’m just an
‘adopted orphan’ nurtured by the Clark Family.”
Isn’t she indeed an ‘adopted orphan’ taken in by Jacob Clark?
Jacob Clark has never regarded himself as her father, and for these years he had completely ignored her. Just as Jasmine pointed out, if it wasn’t for the fact that too many people knew about the existence of her mom back then, Jacob probably wouldn’t have taken her home at all. He might have just sent her to an orphanage.
It’s her who’s been harboring illusions all this while.
How could a man who can calmly watch as his own daughter is drugged and delivered to an old man’s bed, a man who, despite knowing that Mayor Smith meant harm, still coerced her into meeting Smith, possibly be her father?
She doesn’t have a dad, her dad ‘died’ early on.
Along with her mom, they ‘died’ the moment she was born!
“Enna Clark, what the hell are you trying to say?” The unease within Jasmine’s heart grew increasingly, as she demanded an answer, her eyes filled with hostility, “Dad’s still alive and well, what nonsense are you talking about!” “What I said was Jacob Clark is your dad from now on, not mine! I don’t have a dad!”
Even if she continued to back down and endure, they never considered her a part of their family. So why should she keep enduring?
Enna gripped Jasmine’s chin, raising it, “Jasmine, I recall warning you, the last time you schemed against me, that if there was ever a next time, I wouldn’t let you off easily.”
“…you wouldn’t dare!” Jasmine’s eyes were already filled with panic, but her attitude remained stubborn.
A smile spread across Enna’s face.
This is Jasmine, always so tough in front of her. Depending on her constant concessions!
But that was in the past, not now!
She used to yield because she felt she owed Juliet Jordan. But now, even if her mom owed a great debt to Juliet, she had paid it back to Jasmine. She returned it to Jasmine the first time Jasmine plotted against her.
So, she won’t be yielding anymore!
“Five years ago, you made Cherysh Jordan drug me, intending to deliver me to Tyson Universe’s bed, right?” Enna had never been more thankful before, thankful that the man that night turned out to be Baron Lawrence. Although she didn’t know why Tyson Universe turned into Baron, she was truly grateful, grateful that God didn’t send her to hell.
Jasmine’s lips tightened. Even at this moment, there’s not a shred of remorse,
“…So what! I detest you, abhor you, get disgusted every time I see you!”
“Funny you should say that, guess what, I hate you too.” Enna continued to grill her, “Half a year ago, you conspired with my Aunt again, planning to deliver me to Mayor Smith’s son’s bed, right?”
“Enna Clark, are you really starting to see yourself as the First Young Lady? Young Master Smith taking an interest in you is your good luck! You’ve been freeloading off my family for over twenty years, what’s wrong with asking you to give something back to this household?”
