“That’s great.” Juliet Jordan breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on her heart for days was finally let go. She relaxed her brows and showed a sincere smile, “Brother, thank you.”
Gilbert Jordan patted her hand sympathetically, his triangular eyes flashing with anger, gritting his teeth and saying, “Jacob Clark is really a despicable man! If it weren’t for our family back then, he would never have become successful, and now that he’s the boss of a big company, he’s forgotten who married him when he was still a poor boy and who lent him a hand when he couldn’t even afford a house.”
“As soon as he got rich, he went out to find other women. He even got that woman pregnant, causing a scandal in the city. You were generous enough to forgive him, even allowing him to bring his illegitimate daughter back home. And now, he’s afraid of his illegitimate daughter revealing the recording, so he’s letting Jasmine go to jail. It’s outrageous!”
Juliet Jordan was also angry and resentful. She was angry, she was resentful, but she knew that being angry and resentful was useless against Jacob! That man valued his reputation more than anything else, was selfish and untrustworthy!
“Brother, I really regret it now…” She regretted choosing such a man despite her family’s objections back then.
Gilbert Jordan looked at the fatigue his sister couldn’t hide on her face and felt deeply distressed. He frowned and said, “Then get a divorce! It’s not like I can’t afford to support you and your children!”
“I can’t divorce him, Jacob will not let me.”
“Why? He doesn’t need the support of the Jordan family anymore.” Gilbert Jordan couldn’t understand and asked her.
…Because.” She knew a fatal secret about Jacob, and he would never let her go. She was involved in that secret as well.
“Juliet, I am your real brother, is there anything you can’t tell me? Do you think
I will betray you?”
“It’s not that.”
Jasmine had recently caused too many troubles, and Juliet Jordan was already exhausted from cleaning up after her. In front of her own brother, she let down her guard and revealed a secret she had thought she would never tell in her life, “Brother, do you remember the woman whose last name was Lin?”
“You mean the biological mother of the illegitimate daughter? What’s wrong with her? Didn’t she die from childbirth complications a long time ago?”
“She didn’t die from childbirth complications, it was Jacob, Jacob bribed the doctor and killed her.”
Gilbert Jordan was startled and said solemnly, pressing her shoulder, “Juliet, you mustn’t talk such nonsense about this.”
“I’m not talking nonsense.” Speaking of this, Juliet Jordan felt cold in her heart. “Back then, I discovered their illicit relationship and hired a private detective to investigate them. My plan was to get the evidence and then divorce him. Since he was the one at fault, I would get most of the property and custody of the two children. As a result, when I went to the hospital to confront him, Jacob discovered me. He knelt down and apologized to me, swearing that he would never have contact with that woman again, and saying that I was the one he loved the most, and that the woman had seduced him when he got drunk… He said that to prove his sincerity, he would make that woman disappear today.”
Juliet Jordan seemed to be recalling the past, slowly clenching her fists, “At that time, I hated that woman for breaking up my family and seducing my husband, so I participated in the whole process even though I knew Jacob wanted to kill her..”
