Chapter 510 Like a Dog!
Karen felt extremely uncomfortable under Jasmine's gaze!
She was seething inside, but what could she do?
If she had to move out and rent someplace in the middle of New York City, where she didn't know a soul, who knows what kind of trouble she'd run into?
Plus, she wasn't about to give up living in the villa.
Doing chores was a small price to pay for the luxury of staying under the Moore family's roof—free meals and all.
Just suck it up!
With that in mind, Karen plastered on a fake smile and said, "You're right. My bad for not knowing the rules. I'm sorry!"
"That's more like it!" Jasmine plopped back onto the sofa, her expression full of disdain as she looked at Karen!
Just then, footsteps echoed.
Kyle hurried in. Sensing the tension, he asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
Karen wiped the blood from her lip, hesitating.
Jasmine shot him a sharp glare, "What's it to you? Get back to your room and rest! It's your wedding night, and you're leaving Lisa alone? What's wrong with you? You got a problem with her?"
Kyle's expression froze.
Because Jasmine's words hit the nail on the head regarding Kyle's true feelings!
To get Lisa to marry him, he had to muster up the courage and rely on alcohol to sleep with her!
Lisa had been a virgin, completely inexperienced.
But after that one time, it was like a switch flipped—her long-repressed desires came flooding out, and she couldn't get enough.
She was constantly on him, and Kyle was struggling to keep up.
They hadn't been together long, but he was already feeling drained. If this kept up, he'd be completely wiped out.
Staying with Lisa? Not exactly what he'd signed up for!
Seeing Kyle's hesitation, Jasmine turned her eyes cold.
She scolded, "Kyle, it's day one, and you're already treating Lisa like crap? You think marrying her makes you hot stuff? Don't kid yourself. If it weren't for Lisa insisting on this, I'd have broken your legs long ago!"
This shout scared Kyle, and he quickly defended himself, "Mom! You misunderstood, I really didn't mean that! I really like Lisa!"
Jasmine sneered, "Since you say you like Lisa, you have to follow my lead. Come here! Get me a basin of foot-washing water and wash my feet!"
"What?"
Karen and Kyle were both stunned, completely not expecting Jasmine to make such a request!
Back in the Johnson household, Kyle had always been the one being waited on.
He'd never even washed Karen's feet, let alone someone else's.
And now, on his first day as part of the family, he was supposed to wash Jasmine's feet?
This was too much, right?
Karen couldn't help but say, "It's Kyle and Lisa's wedding day. He's been running around all day. Just let him rest. The whole foot-washing thing—"
"Shut your mouth!" Jasmine's roar cut her off. Her face went icy, "In this house, you don't get a say, got it? One more word, and you're out on your ass!"
Karen had to obediently shut up!
Jasmine continued to scold Kyle, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me ask for foot-washing water? Or are you unwilling to listen to me?"
Kyle, new to the Moore family, knew damn well he couldn't piss off Jasmine if he wanted to stay in the game.
After all, her husband Gabriel was whipped as hell.
In this house, Jasmine called the shots—no questions asked.
So Kyle forced a grin, "Mom, don't sweat it. I'll grab the foot soak right now!"
He then turned to the bathroom, fetched the foot-washing water, and brought it to the sofa!
"Help me take off my shoes and socks!"
Kyle obediently complied!
But he was almost knocked out by the sour and stinky smell from Jasmine's feet!
He then carefully placed Jasmine's feet in the basin!
But as soon as her feet touched the water, Jasmine suddenly jumped up from the sofa!
"Damn! It's too hot! Can't you test the water temperature?"
She kicked over the basin!
The hot water splashed out, soaking both Kyle and Karen nearby!
Both were scalded and cried out in pain!
The living room was in chaos, a complete mess!
Jasmine's face went red-hot with rage. She snatched up a broom and whacked Kyle twice, yelling, "You trying to burn me alive? Huh? You think if you off me, you'll get your hands on the Moore fortune? You ungrateful little shit! I'll beat your ass raw!"
Jasmine was strong, and the hits left red welts on Kyle's body!
Kyle cried out in pain, begging, "Mom, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, please stop hitting me, it hurts!"
Karen instinctively wanted to stop Jasmine from hitting Kyle, but she was kicked to the ground by Jasmine!
"I'm disciplining Kyle, it's none of your business, stay put!"
She then continued to beat Kyle!
Over ten hits!
Until the broom broke, Jasmine finally stopped!
Kyle's body was covered in wounds, and a bump had formed on his forehead!
He sat on the ground, looking at Jasmine with a mix of fear and resentment!
Jasmine shot them a look, "Figures. Small-town trash who don't know the first damn thing about how things work around here. From now on, in this house, if you mess up the rules, I'll deal with you. Got it?"
Karen and Kyle nodded repeatedly!
At this moment, Karen's tears couldn't stop flowing!
She felt extremely wronged!
Suddenly, she recalled the things she had done to Ryder in the Johnson family's villa, and how similar it was to the current situation!
Her feelings were very complicated!
After venting, Jasmine pointed at Karen, "Clean up the living room later, it must be spotless!"
Karen nodded!
Jasmine suddenly thought of something, "Since you're staying here, I'll set you up. There's a storage shed out east. I had it cleared out. That's your new digs—sleep there at night, work here during the day!"
Karen's expression froze; the storage room on the east side of the villa was for storing junk, and there was a doghouse next to it!
This was treating her like a dog!
"What, do you have a problem?" Jasmine's eyes narrowed, her voice icy.
Karen flinched, swallowing her pride, and gave a reluctant nod.
