The Douglas Estate.

Without cab fare, Jasmine had run from the hospital back to the Douglas Estate, and it was now 8:35 AM.

She was five minutes late.

Daniel seemed to be waiting for her on purpose in the courtyard, with a dark

expression on his face.

"You're late," Daniel stated, his voice grave as he checked the time.

Jasmine headed towards the house, her gaze low. She only needed to take care of

Serena; she didn't have to be subject to Daniel's moods.

"Stop right there." Daniel reached out to block Jasmine's path. "I'm asking you one last time, who is the father of your bastard?"

He was fixated on uncovering the man who'd made Jasmine betray him.

If it wasn't Jordan, then who?

Tom?

He'd checked. It wasn't Tom.

With so many people at the hotel that night, Daniel couldn't begin to guess who it could be.

In her circle, there weren't many bold enough to carry on with her in secret.

"I'd like to know that myself..." Jasmine replied, pushing Daniel's hand aside.

    In Ethan's sprawling abode, Jasmine sat at the dining table, gripping her phone tightly. Richard had already called her, telling her to stay out of it and let May learn her lesson. If no one bailed her out, she'd be locked up for twenty-four hours for disturbing public order.Today, she would have time to reflect inside.Soon after, the police station called again."Is May your mother?" the officer's voice cut through the tension, probing for clarity amidst the turmoil.Jasmine's response was swift, a mix of defiance and resignation. "Sorry, I don't have a mother. Does she have proof otherwise?"The officer, taken aback by Jasmine's retort, hesitated momentarily, the complexity of their familial dynamics evident. "Let her reflect at the station for a day. When it's time, you can come and pay a $500 fine," he concluded before abruptly ending the call. Jasmine heaved a sigh of relief, thinking of calling Ethan, wondering how he was doing at Stellar Enterprises..."Jasmine, Ethan's place

    "You're the one who caused this, right?" Richard said coldly. "I've already called the cops, and they'll be here any minute. You'll have to answer to them, and if my boss decides to pursue this, you could face criminal charges.""Richard! I'm your mother!" May's shock was palpable, her voice pleading for understanding.Silence hung heavily between them before Richard spoke again, his tone unyielding. "Do you think the police will let you off the hook just because you're my mom?"May was left speechless by her son's harsh retort."Instead of yelling because you're my mom, you should be reflecting on why you're looking to go back to prison right after being released."It wasn't long after Richard finish speaking that the local cops arrived."She's been causing trouble here and attacked someone. We have it all on surveillance," the company security promptly explained to the officers.The police took May away, leaving behind a sense of emptiness, as the rest of her relatives had vanished

    "By the way, Emily took today off and said she's coming over to see you," Ethan called back to Jasmine, glancing over his shoulder as he walked away.Jasmine was taken aback by the unexpected news.Before moving in, the butler had emphasized Ethan's strict rules about cleanliness, quiet, and not allowing any visitors or strangers into the house, under the threat of Ethan's anger. Yet, Ethan appeared remarkably lenient with her....At Stellar Enterprises, HR representative Daria rushed over to Ethan as soon as he arrived, informing him of the chairman's intent to fire Jasmine due to her mother's disruptive behavior."Who said that's Jasmine's mother?" Ethan questioned sharply, causing a momentary pause among the staff.Everyone assumed the disruptive woman was Jasmine's mother."The chairman is waiting in his office..." Howard's assistant added, accompanying Ethan to the elevator.Ethan made his way directly to the conference room where Howard awaited, anticipating Ethan's arrival."Y

    At Ethan's residence, Jasmine was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen while Ethan, having just dropped Justin off at school, leaned against the dining table, taking a moment to hydrate.Erin had indeed stirred up trouble; the kindergarten was now in the midst of replacing its principal and undergoing reform, all due to allegations of corruption and bribery among the principal and certain teachers.Ethan's phone buzzed, indicating a call from HR's Daria."Mr. Ethan..." Daria sounded anxious, likely reaching out to warn him. "Jasmine's mother is causing a scene at the office, with the chairman and board members present, suggesting Jasmine be fired...""Jasmine is under my purview. All matters regarding her employment are my decision alone," Ethan asserted firmly. "But... What about Jasmine's mom causing a scene all the time? This can't go on," Daria expressed her concern.Ethan's brow furrowed with frustration. What was May's motive? Was she heartless or simply malicious? After all,

    Ethan didn't waste any more words with May and headed straight to the car, unable to provide any proof to continue their discussion. May's reaction was peculiar. The driver drove off. It took May a while to register what had happened before she started cursing violently."Stop cursing, Mom. Don't you think you're being unfair?" Richard rubbed his ears, voicing his concern.May turned on Richard, lashing out at him as well. "Is Jasmine really a part of our family?"Richard asked with a frown, expressing his doubts. "Sometimes I even wonder if you're not thinking straight. Jasmine is my sister, your daughter. How did you treat Serena before? You couldn't have been kinder to her if you had been on your knees. Does she appreciate any of it?"Seeing that May remained silent, Richard spoke again. "Or do you think after sucking up to the real Wilson's Family heiress for twenty-one years, she'll remember your kindness and throw some money your way once she's back with the Wilson's?"Richard l

    Jasmine remained silent, her eyes slightly reddened. Ethan stepped forward, pulling her into his embrace. He glanced at Richard, his brows furrowing in concern. Richard opened his mouth but stayed silent. "Getting cozy without being married? That's hardly decent,", May, you need to talk to your daughter. How do you expect her to get married behaving this way?" Aunt Tricia interjected sternly. "Could she be someone's mistress? That guy looks rich; that car must be in the hundreds of thousands, right?" the other relatives chimed in noisily. "Jasmine had a child out of wedlock. Is the child's father some wealthy old man?" one relative speculated. Richard grew agitated. "Over three million," he clarified. "Huh?" The relative was shocked. "This is Mr. Ethan's cheapest car, worth over three million," Richard explained. The relatives were shocked, as if they could never imagine a car costing as much as a house. "Tens of millions?" Aunt Tricia was astonished. May, about that blind date I arr
