Linton City Orchid Club.
Jasmine Clark was having a spa day with her friends when Jacob Clark stormed in with an angry face. He grabbed her and started to drag her away.
“Dad?” Jasmine, still with a face mask on, was startled to see Jacob and struggled to break free. “Dad, how did you find me here?”
“Go home,” said Jacob, his face dark and his tone cold.
Jasmine felt embarrassed in front of her friends. She nervously twisted her wrist and frowned, “Dad, what are you doing? I’ll go home. Just let me finish applying the face mask.”
How dare she still care about her face mask! Did she have any idea what kind of trouble she had brought him? Furious, Jacob tried to control his anger since he didn’t want people to see him scolding Jasmine publicly. He lowered his voice and sternly repeated, “Go home! ”
Gloomy!
Suppressive!
Jasmine’s heart jumped, and she quietly followed him out.
The car ride home was quiet. A few times, Jasmine wanted to ask Jacob what was wrong, but seeing his extremely grim expression, she didn’t dare.
Finally, they arrived home.
The driver opened the car door for them, and Jasmine, wearing high heels, entered the villa arrogantly.
As soon as she walked in, her arm was grabbed. She turned around and saw that Jacob had a hold of her. She was surprised to see his usually gentle fatherly face had turned livid. He raised his hand and slapped her across the face—
“Slap!” The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the villa.
The servants, witnessing the scene, lowered their heads and, pretending to be occupied with their tasks, retreated to the kitchen.
Jasmine was dazed by the sudden slap. She fell onto the sofa, her left ear ringing. With disbelief in her eyes, she stared at Jacob and yelled, “Dad?!”
“You have the nerve to call me that! Look at what you’ve done! I’ve told you a thousand times to get along with your sister, and what did you do? Who allowed you to go to Capital City? You’re simply foolish!”
Capital City?
Jasmine was even more confused.
Hadn’t the matter of her being schemed against in Capital City by Enna Clark already passed? When she returned from Capital City, Mom told her to apologize to Dad, and everything would be fine. She did apologize, and Dad forgave her, only warning her not to behave like that again and to be more cautious.
But now, he’s bringing up Capital City again and even slapped her?
Jasmine covered her face, feeling wronged and suffocated.
The commotion downstairs alerted the people upstairs. Juliet Jordan hurried down from the second floor. She quickly scanned the situation in the living room but didn’t rush to protect Jasmine. Instead, she took Jacob’s arm, gently patting his back, and softly coaxed him, “Jacob, what’s wrong? Why are you so angry? Did Jasmine do something wrong again?”
Juliet Jordan glared at Jasmine and continued to coo, “She doesn’t mean any harm; she’s just a little slow sometimes. Just talk to her calmly. She’s always admired you and will listen to you. Don’t be angry, you’re the backbone of our family. What would Jasmine, Alton, and I do without you?”
Usually, when she mentioned their younger son, Jacob would let things pass. But this time, Jacob seemed to have swallowed a dynamite, forcibly pushing her away.. He pointed at Jasmine’s nose and rebuked, “Indulgent mothers spoil their children! I’ve told you countless times to discipline her properly, and this is how you do it!”
