Chapter 102 Serena Blocked Jasmine at the Company Entrance
After a busy afternoon in the office, Jasmine was still busy at work; she didn't even realize it was already time to leave.
Glancing at her notebook, Jasmine organized her documents and answered Henry's call.
"Emily is out of danger now and awake. Don't worry," Henry updated her about Emily's condition. "The hospital staff mentioned that Emily's emotions are a bit unstable. I'll come pick you up, and we can go see her."
Henry moved Emily out, afraid that Jasmine wouldn't come with him.
In reality, Henry understood Jasmine. Jasmine was only looking for work in Silverlight City to completely cut ties with him.
In Henry's view, Jasmine was acting out of spite, betting that he wouldn't call off the engagement.
But the marriage with the Brown family was not something he could decide. Mr. Patrick Sr. had not been in the best health these past few years and couldn't handle stress or excitement.
"Alright... Where are you? I'll come find you," Jasmine said softly.
"Where do you work? I'll come pick you up, and we can leave together," Henry wanted to know where Jasmine worked, as even Ben couldn't find out.
"Stellar Enterprises..." Jasmine didn't hide it; it would come out sooner or later.
She would definitely be by Ethan's side in the future.
On the phone, Henry fell silent. Even through the phone, Jasmine could sense Henry's low spirits.
"I'll be there soon," Henry said in a low voice after a long pause.
Jasmine took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
After arranging the items on her desk neatly, Jasmine left the office.
Most of the company's employees had already left. The employees on the first floor mostly had entry-level positions and didn't need to work overtime.
"Did you see that? That's Jasmine, the fake heiress. Do you know the real story behind her? She's shameless; I heard she even tricked her way into a marriage with the Douglas family. She almost became Mr. Daniel's wife."
"So shameless, wanting to marry Daniel and become Mr. Douglas' daughter-in-law. It's disgraceful."
"Look at her; she seems so pitiful. I heard she just got out of prison."
At the entrance, a few middle-level employees gathered together. It was like they were just waiting to see who Jasmine really was.
Jasmine remained silent and walked with her head down.
"You have some nerve showing your face here in our company. You've practically ruined Mr. Daniel, haven't you?" An employee from Daniel's team specifically confronted Jasmine. "You're the one who got Mr. Daniel taken away by the police, right? Using such tactics to get into Stellar Enterprises; you're truly shameless!"
Carmen had kept Daniel's arrest at the police station tightly under wraps; even if it made the news, no one knew the real reason behind the police taking Daniel away.
But these people blocking her at the company entrance clearly had Carmen's approval.
"Jasmine."
Apart from these individuals, there was someone of significant importance.
Upon hearing her voice, Jasmine felt a chill down her spine—Serena.
She actually came in person to wait for Jasmine to finish work, which was quite ridiculous.
Serena's face was somewhat pale as she stepped out of a black luxury car. It was Daniel's car.
Clearly, Serena was here to assert her dominance.
"Using Daniel's future as leverage to secure a spot at Stellar Enterprises, I underestimated you," Serena softly said.
She approached Jasmine in front of everyone and slapped her.
Jasmine stood numbly in place. She had anticipated Serena would strike her, but she didn't dodge it.
Perhaps some guilt was still lingering in her heart.
The first twenty years of her life should have belonged to Serena.
So, regardless of how unfairly Serena treated her over the years, she endured it.
But it seemed Serena was still not satisfied.
"You think you can have a good life by staying at Stellar Enterprises? My mom told me everything. You came back for revenge, huh? Hahaha!" Serena laughed, clearly looking down on Jasmine. "Just you? I could crush you like I would crush an ant."
Serena glared at Jasmine as she threatened her.
Jasmine remained silent throughout.
"She has no shame; how dare she show her face at Stellar Enterprises."
"And she still wants to be Mr. Douglas's secretary. What is she thinking?"
The people around sided with Serena; after all, Serena was the 'victim,' and also the legitimate heiress and Daniel's official fiancée.
While Jasmine was just a thief, with no power or influence, and a criminal record.
"She used despicable means to threaten Ethan, to keep her by his side as a secretary. This is just how she does things," Serena sarcastically remarked.
Carmen couldn’t tell anyone about Jasmine and Ethan getting married, at least not now.
So, Serena only thought Jasmine was using dropping the charges to blackmail Ethan.
"Jasmine, by offending Ethan, do you think you'll have a good life?" Serena continued to taunt, even wanting to hit Jasmine. "I can't wait to see your fate."
Jasmine looked straight at Serena, this time, she didn't let her slap come down.
"I have already repaid what I owe you. That slap just now was the last one you’ll ever get. If you lay a hand on me again, I won't hesitate to call the police." Jasmine pushed away Serena's hand.
Serena looked at Jasmine in shock.
Ha... Impressive...
Karen went home and said Jasmine had changed; she was now fighting back. She didn't believe it at first, but today, she saw it.
Seizing the opportunity, Serena sat on the ground and began feigning weakness.
"She hit someone! She hit Miss Serena! How could she do that when Miss Serena is so weak?!"
"Don't go, you better not go. If Miss Serena is hurt, the Wilson family won't let you off." Serena's driver rushed over, grabbing Jasmine's hand and not letting her go.
Everyone was blaming Jasmine.
Jasmine felt suffocated; she was struggling to breathe with so many people surrounding her.
"Serena!" Hearing that Serena came to Stellar Enterprises to confront Jasmine, Evan was initially worried about Jasmine, but upon rushing into the crowd and seeing Serena faint, Evan looked at Jasmine with anger and pushed her out.
Jasmine's heart was already racing, and she didn't stand steady. She fell to the ground, scraping her palm and bruising her forehead.
Her vision darkened. Jasmine looked at her palm; it was dripping with blood.
Evan picked up Serena, looking angrily at Jasmine. "You better pray that Serena is okay."
Otherwise, the Wilson family really wouldn't let her off.
Jasmine sneered. She propped herself up and stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the onlookers, each one accusing her.
In reality, anyone with eyes could see that Serena was setting her up.
But everyone subconsciously saw her as the villain.
That was human nature.
"Evan, if your sister is feeling unwell, be a good brother and actually take her to a doctor, instead of letting her wander around needlessly. Who knows, she might even strain her back with all this 'fresh air' nonsense."
A car stopped at the entrance.
Henry got out, his voice low and imposing.
Evan frowned; it was Henry again.
"Mr. Patrick... this is Mr. Patrick from SHC Group, right?"
"Is Mr. Patrick helping this Jasmine?"
"Mr. Patrick, Jasmine intentionally pushed Miss Serena." The driver said angrily.
Henry walked up to Jasmine. "Did you push her?"
Jasmine didn't say anything.
If it were Ethan, he wouldn't have asked her such a question; he would have just dealt with the issue directly.
Jasmine paused, surprised at why she was thinking of Ethan at a time like this.
