Translator: 549690339
In Sereriva Residential Complex, Enna Clark received a phone call from Jasmine Clark. Hearing the pitiful sound of Jasmine sobbing and apologizing on the other end of the line, Enna felt no pleasure, only numbness and indifference.
“Sis, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong… Please, don’t release the rest of the recordings.”
Begging?
One day, Jasmine would actually use such a pitiful tone to say the word ‘please’ to Enna. Enna was momentarily dazed, waiting expressionlessly for what Jasmine would say next.
“Sis, for Dad’s sake, can you let me off the hook this time?”
Just as Jasmine was still speaking, Jacob Clark snatched her phone. His tone had changed greatly from the fierce one he used with Jasmine earlier, becoming much gentler. “Enna, it’s me.”
“I’ve asked your sister, she admitted that she did you wrong. I’m sorry, I should’ve believed you that day.”
Enna had seen people going back on their words before, but never to such an extent.
That day, when Jacob called her, he didn’t speak like this. He mentioned that even if the police had played the recording for him, so what if Jasmine was truly guilty? Then he arrogantly told her, as if he were bestowing a favor, that Juliet Jordan had bought her a small apartment in Linton City, and she could move back there. Now, suddenly, he claimed that he hadn’t believed her at that time and had misunderstood that Jasmine was innocent.
Ha, how ridiculous!
Such inconsistency in his attitude, so ridiculous it chilled her heart!
She thought Jacob’s coldness towards her was because she was born to his mistress, a stain on his reputation for life. Now it seemed, Jacob didn’t care much for Jasmine either. In front of his interests, Jasmine was just as expendable. She wondered how Jasmine felt after realizing this. In any case, she thought it couldn’t be a pleasant feeling.
“Does President Clark think an apology will be useful?” If apologies were useful, why would they need the police? They don’t just eat for nothing!
The phone was put on speaker.
Enna’s voice could be heard clearly throughout the living room.
“After your sister has done such a wicked thing, of course, an apology is useless. I’ve already punished her, and she’s realized her mistake. She insisted on apologizing to you. Don’t worry, I’ll have Auntie May accompany her to the police station to turn herself in later. This time, I’ll let the police decide the punishment, and I won’t interfere.”
Jasmine’s face flushed with embarrassment. She took a glance at the cold-hearted man who wouldn’t even look her in the eyes. Just as Enna had thought, it was not a pleasant feeling. More than just being unpleasant, it was agonizing. The humiliation she received today, Jacob’s coldness, and the impending prison time – all felt like a tearing of her soul. Her face still burned from the slap, and she had never been so miserable before. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of despair.
Tears streamed down Jasmine’s swollen, red eyes once again… Juliet Jordan clenched her lips, a hint of repressed anger flickering in her elegant eyes.
Jacob spoke with a tone of negotiation, “Enna, can you destroy the remaining recordings? Dad’s company is about to go public, and we can’t have any more trouble. Otherwise, my life’s work will be destroyed. You should know how much I’ve put into the company; I truly can’t bear to see my efforts crumble. Enna, for the sake of the bond between us as father and daughter all these years, just listen to Dad this time and delete the recordings.”
