Semua Bab Abadoned By My Husband, Claimed By His Billionaire’s Brother: Bab 111 - Bab 120

"Ethan's voice dripped with a stern warning, "How could a kindergarten with the highest safety standards in San Francisco let a child leave early without notifying the family? If something happens to the child, the school cannot shirk responsibility.""M... Mr. Douglas, the principal personally..." The teacher, visibly shaken, stammered as she began to speak."Get the principal here," Ethan commanded, his anger palpable, while simultaneously phoning Liam. "Check the surveillance around the kindergarten, see who took Justin away, and do it quickly."Soon, the principal rushed out. "M... Mr. Douglas...""Is my kid something that just anyone can pick up and take away from your school?" Ethan's temperature was dangerously low. His usual cold demeanor now saturated with suppressed rage made him all the more intimidating."M... Mr. Douglas, your child?" The principal was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the record. "Are you referring to little Justin? Mr. Patrick Sr. came himself, said

Henry furrowed his brows, reluctantly moving toward the door, fearing what Mr. Patrick Sr. might say to unsettle Jasmine."Has this woman become more important to you than your grandfather?" Mr. Patrick Sr. asked angrily.Henry remained silent for a long moment. "Justin, let's go," he finally said.Justin looked back at his mom, unwilling to leave.Jasmine cupped Justin's cheeks. "Wait for Mom outside, it's okay. Grandpa Pat just wants to chat with me."Justin nodded, worry in his eyes as he left the room.Now alone with Jasmine and an assistant, it was the assistant who spoke first. "Ms. Wilson, name your price. What would it take for you to willingly give up custody of the child?""Justin is mine," Jasmine said firmly, gripping her fingers tightly. "Henry and I have an agreement, the child stays with me, and I won't sue him for rape."Jasmine took a deep breath, looking up at Mr. Patrick Sr. It wasn't her fault, and she had nothing to be ashamed of.Justin was an accident, one she n

Harper's expression soured as she watched Jasmine and Ethan leave. "Miss Brown..." the secretary started tentatively."I'll wait here," Harper responded all innocence and smiles. "I'll catch lunch with Ethan after his meeting."And she waited, sitting on the sofa all morning. She had loved Ethan since they were kids, but he had never even looked at her.Yet, Harper grew up with one thing clear in her mind: Ethan would marry her. Whateverit took, she would make Ethan marry her.The secretary nodded and exited the CEO's office. Harper sat, lost in thought.'How could she push Jasmine out of the company?'"Ambulance!" The commotion outside the office startled Harper.She hurried out and grabbed someone's arm. "What's happening?""Mr. Douglas had an allergic reaction. He's in shock!"She paled with fear and rushed towards the meeting room. "Is the meeting over? How could this happen so suddenly?""Apparently, the new assistant didn't know about Mr. Douglas's peanut allergy and offered hi

Howard dismissed Jasmine and said to his PR team, "Call the police."Daria seemed relieved. "Exactly, Mr. Howard. Why give her a chance to explain? She'sgot a record. We should simply call the authorities with no further ado.""Uncle, maybe we should give Jasmine another chance. Just let her leave the company," Harper suggested kindly.Howard snorted. "Harper, don't be too soft-hearted. Your sister is in jail because of her."Harper let out a wistful sigh. "I just don't think Jasmine seems like a bad person.""You can never truly know someone," Daria chimed in with feigned concern.Jasmine remained calm, sitting until Howard and the PR team had left. Then she turned to Daria. "I don't mind, but I do have a recording in my possession. Are you interested in hearing it?"Daria, who was about to leave, tensed up at the mention of a recording."What are you talking about?" she asked Jasmine, confused.Jasmine methodically played the recording on her phone. She had already sent a copy of t

At lunchtime, Jasmine still hadn't been able to write her report. She wasn't sure what she should be focusing on.A 3,000-word self-critique had stagnated at a mere hundred words, all echoing the same sentiment: "If the boss says I'm at fault, then I must be, even though I don't know what I did wrong.""Mr. Douglas, aren't you going to lunch?" Jasmine asked cautiously, gently pushing the office door open to check on Ethan.Ethan set aside his work, raising an eyebrow.Daria had somehow managed to submit a 'self-critique' that greatly satisfied him in record time.Inside the encrypted email was Daria's pledge of allegiance.Carmen was the one who'd set up an inside person at the company ahead of time.They were involved in every department.Ethan knew Daria had a backup plan and hadn't given him the complete list of names, but what he got was enough.As for the rest, he didn't care.Seeing how Jasmine had just arrived and brought him a gift, Ethan decided to let it slide this time and
