Jasmine must have never expected that the whole thing would blow up or that it might backfire on her. Nevertheless, it was no longer possible for Jasmine to join the Taylor family. Her dream of being acknowledged as one of them would never come true.Three hours later, Andrew texted me and told me that the share price of Taylor Group was plummeting. Many individual shareholders posted online and said that the Taylor family's child-rearing practice was questionable. They even asked them to expel Jasmine and apologize publicly.Some shareholders began to sell the shares. I was surprised by how things turned out because I did not think that Jasmine's action could destabilize the company. The negative impact on the company was not foreseeable.But when I thought about it, perhaps many people were hoping to destroy Taylor Group—they merely needed a chance. Jasmine's stupidity gave them the excuse they wanted, and the future of the company was in peril.Jasmine provided them an opportuni

The colonial-style project promised to pay Colin 20 million dollars after two years of work. Indeed, to Colin, earning 20 million dollars wasn't easy. Jasmine, on the other hand, could easily promise the sum with words.That said, we wanted to earn the money with our own hands so that we wouldn't feel guilty about anything. It didn't matter how fast we could get the money as long as our principles were not violated.Moreover, we were not chasing after wealth. Three meals a day, a roof over our heads, and some clothes were all we needed. Even after the whole truth was revealed, Jasmine continued to use love to guilt-trip Colin. This call from her had shown how selfish and shameless she was.Perhaps she was never in love with Colin. She only used him as someone to elevate her social status. Even 200 million dollars could not make Colin forsake his reputation and future, let alone 20 million dollars. Colin? A sellout? That was impossible.Jasmine was used to measure everything with mo

Taylor Group was still discussing a solution. Both the college and the company were worried that any action from Colin might further exacerbate the scandal. Therefore, when Colin applied for leave, both parties approved almost immediately.They told Colin that he could extend it if he wanted so that both his mind and body could get some rest. As a result, this was Colin's first official holiday after overworking for more than six months. He said he wanted to stay in the village for a few more days to be closer to Mother Nature.His arrival was exciting news for the whole village. These down-to-earth villagers did not care about the scandal. All they knew was Colin's impeccable care toward the little ones and his patience in teaching when he did voluntary work here.Hence, nearly all villagers came to receive him. They talked to him in glee. The head of the village held Colin's hand and refused to let go. Mr. Miller kept asking him if the problem had been solved and if there was anyt

Peace and serenity returned to my life. We left for work in the morning and returned at dusk. When we were tired, we rested. When we were hungry, we cooked a delicious meal together, with enough pork meat at our disposal.When we ran into a difficulty, everyone worked together at night to solve it. When we found a solution, we cheered loudly. During the four days we spent in the village, we heard that Taylor Group had apologized publicly for Jasmine's action.They decided to change the person in charge of the colonial-style project to a promising young heir from the family, Ivan Taylor. They also claimed that while Jasmine was not part of the Taylor family, they still owed the society accountability for appointing the wrong person.I was told that Ivan graduated from a prestigious school and was quite a decisive and capable leader. When he was on board, he quickly reshuffled the project team and removed those who were loyal to Jasmine.Meanwhile, Jasmine's title was revoked. She wa

It had become considerably warm in early spring compared to winter. Many plants were budding at the college. They looked so adorable with their yellow and green sprouts. Outside Crystal House, the peach blossom tree was adorned with little, pink sprouts. They were mesmerizing.Since Colin did not need the data urgently, I took a detour to admire the plants. Like all women, I loved cute, little things with bright colors. Right when I found a particularly taut flower bud, I heard someone talking in the yard next to me. Their voices sounded familiar.I took a look and saw Ivan and Jasmine talking by the railing. What was wrong with them? Why couldn't they speak inside? Instead, they picked a location where anyone could hear them. Perhaps Ivan simply did not want Jasmine to tamper with his work.Ivan stood nonchalantly with both hands in his pockets. The slight pout on his face indicated his contempt. Meanwhile, Jasmine's back was facing me. She was wearing a pure white dress, and her l
