She cried uncontrollably.
Juliet Jordan’s heart softened as she cried, pulling her up and holding her shoulders, saying, “Jasmine, listen to me, you should follow your dad’s advice and go to the police station to turn yourself in.”
“I won’t go! I’ll never go there!” Jasmine vehemently resisted.
Juliet almost wanted to slap her again, but seeing her bloodshot eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She tightly held Jasmine’s shoulders and looked into her eyes, emphasizing again, “You have to go whether you want to or not! Did your dad seem like he was asking for your opinion today?”
Thinking of Jacob’s attitude, Jasmine couldn’t help but feel heartbroken and started sobbing again, repeatedly saying, “I won’t go to jail. I’m still so young. I won’t go. If I do, my life is ruined. Mom, when I joined the entertainment industry, you didn’t help me either. Now that I finally made a name for myself, if I go to the police station, my star career is over. You might as well just kill me.”
“You think dying would solve the problem? Your dad would never let that happen!” She was still so naive; Juliet had no choice but to spell it out for her. “Listen, Jasmine, you’re not getting any younger. You have to take responsibility for the mess you’ve created. Your dad and I told you countless times not to tell Enna about what happened five years ago. But you wouldn’t listen to us and insisted on telling her. Now that it has happened, you have to deal with it.”
“If you turn yourself in, your punishment might be lighter. If you wait for Enna to post the recording online and the police come looking for you, you’re truly done for.”
“Either way, I’ll end up in jail. What’s the difference?”
“There is a difference!” Juliet was eerily calm. Holding her shoulder, she made Jasmine look into her eyes. “If you turn yourself in, your father will use all means necessary to protect his reputation and help you suppress the remaining recordings. As long as the recordings don’t spread, there’s still a chance for redemption.”
“But I’d still end up in jail.”
“Who told you that you’d go to jail?” Juliet had a plan up her sleeve. She squinted her eyes and patted Jasmine’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you go to jail. But from now on, you have to listen to me.”
Jasmine’s mood improved considerably when she heard she wouldn’t have to go to jail. With teary eyes, she nodded and agreed, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Juliet expressionlessly pulled her along, saying, “Come downstairs with me now and apologize to Enna.”
Jasmine’s face momentarily flashed with reluctance, but this time she didn’t protest. With a hint of humiliation in her eyes, she unwillingly stood up and followed Juliet downstairs.
Downstairs.
Jacob Clark had been waiting impatiently.
Seeing them come down, he looked at Jasmine with a grim face. Jasmine unconsciously moved closer to Juliet. Discreetly stepping in front of her, Juliet blocked Jacob’s sinister gaze and said, “I’ve talked to Jasmine and she admitted her mistakes. She’s willing to apologize to Enna and turn herself in at the police station.”
Jacob’s face was originally harsh, but upon hearing her words, his expression slightly eased. He glanced at Jasmine and asked, “Have you really thought it through?”
As long as she didn’t have to go to jail, Jasmine was willing to do anything. She immediately nodded, “Yes.”
Jacob’s face looked much better and he handed her the phone, “Here, call your sister and apologize.”
Still suspicious, he added, “Apologize sincerely. If you talk to your sister with the same attitude you had at home, don’t blame me if I lose my temper!”
Enduring the humiliation, Jasmine took the phone….
