Chapter 68 Jasmine Took the Initiative to Ask Ethan to Call the Police
"You’re going too far." Chloe was a bit angry.
Zelda shouldn't bully people like this. "Jasmine and Mr. Patrick just know each other; there's absolutely nothing else going on between them. If you don't believe me, you can call Mr. Patrick."
Zelda laughed; she didn't care whether anything had happened between Jasmine and Henry. She was just here to bully Jasmine, to assert her dominance, nothing more.
"Miss Brown, we've already informed Mr. Patrick. You'd better go home and deal with this. These kinds of things..." The manager sounded a bit fearful.
Fearful of something going wrong.
But Zelda wasn't about to let Jasmine off the hook. "I have all these videos saved. I could post them online for everyone to see, how about that?"
Jasmine shook her head in terror. "Please don't..."
"If you don't want me to post them, you can kneel down and beg me for mercy, just like you did five years ago." Zelda demanded that Jasmine kneel before her, just like in the video from the alley where they forced Jasmine to kneel.
Back then, if Jasmine didn't kneel, they said they would harm the child in her belly.
In the end, Jasmine knelt down, humbling herself in the dirt.
"Please..." Jasmine begged Zelda not to post the videos.
It took five years to erase the scandal of the fake heiress and the reports that had once ruined her. If Zelda were to release them again, it would spark public ridicule once more. She didn't care about herself anymore, but she had to protect Justin.
Jasmine knew better than anyone how terrifying online trolls could be.
When the scandal of the fake heiress broke out, the address of the old house where Richard and she lived was exposed.
Countless people gathered outside, hurling insults and garbage at them. Some engaged in disgusting acts, and someone even went as far as setting the house on fire in the middle of the night.
"Kneel." Zelda looked down at Jasmine, enforcing her superiority over her.
Jasmine's fingers were numb, but she gripped her dress tightly as she slowly knelt to the ground.
But Zelda seemed unwilling to let her off the hook.
Smirking, she hit 'send.' "Oops, my hand slipped; I've posted it on Twitter."
People in the club took out their phones to search for Zelda's Twitter.
In truth, everyone was curious about what was in the video.
The lighting of the video was poor, and the alley was damp and cluttered.
Zelda and several girls had brought six or seven guys with them and cornered Jasmine in the alley.
They were being horribly disrespectful, mocking and shaming Jasmine with every word. They were saying and doing the most vile, disgusting, and dirty things.
They tried to undress Jasmine, hit her, and forced her to kneel.
It was unbearable to watch.
Jasmine sat on the ground, trembling all over as she listened to the sounds coming from the phones around her.
She thought she had forgotten it all.
During her time in prison, she had undergone numerous MECT treatments, hoping to forget all these painful memories.
But why had the memories worth celebrating become vague, while the painful memories became clearer and clearer?
Even God seemed to be punishing her.
Punishing her for stealing someone else's life.
"Jasmine, did you think I would let you off so easily? Henry is my man; if you mess with him, you think I would spare you?" Zelda squatted in front of Jasmine, raising her hand to slap her face, each blow landing forcefully.
"Today is the first day your little bastard starts kindergarten. I've already had this video sent to every parent of his classmates, so they can see what kind of filthy, despicable mother the little bastard has. Continue to beg for mercy on your knees."
Jasmine numbly looked up at Zelda. Her fingernails were digging into her palms and blood was drying at the corners of her mouth.
After a long silence, Jasmine's hand rose uncontrollably and grabbed Zelda's collar. Her voice was trembling as she menacingly said, "Justin... is my bottom line. If you touch him... I will show you hell..."
For years, she had endured, unwilling to let go of her dignity because she knew she was guilty.
She was seeking redemption.
But that didn't mean she could continue to be mercilessly trampled by these people.
Zelda paused for a moment, surprisingly frightened by Jasmine's eyes. Her gaze was somewhat...frightening.
"Hah!" Zelda pushed Jasmine away forcefully and laughed. "A wild seed from the slums, and you think you deserve a spot at Presidio Knolls School? How did you manage to secure that spot? Do you think I will allow your son to stay at that school? You seem unaware... The head of Presidio Knolls School is my aunt."
Jasmine's body trembled violently.
The Presidio Knolls School was the kindergarten Ethan found for Justin.
Silverlight City's finest aristocratic kindergarten.
"Jasmine!" Emily rushed over from the crowd, anxiously embracing Jasmine. "What's going on?"
After looking up at Zelda, Emily could guess what was going on.
By being with Henry, Jasmine's biggest problem was not Melissa, but Zelda.
When Zelda went crazy, even Melissa feared her.
Jasmine remained silent, trembling on the floor as she felt a darkness slowly swallow her up.
"Emily..." Chloe was close to tears as she handed her phone to Emily.
Emily watched the video Zelda posted. Anger flashed in her eyes as she looked at her, "Do you think having money and power gives you the right to harm anyone you want so recklessly?"
"Are you her friend?" Zelda narrowed her eyes.
Jasmine felt anxious, fearing she would involve Emily. "No..."
But Emily grabbed Jasmine's wrist. "Yes, I am her friend. If you have a problem, come to me."
"Hah!" Zelda glanced at the manager with a smile. "Can we now dismiss both of them?"
The manager hesitated. "I'm sorry..."
"I am the future Mrs. of the SHC Group; I’m Henry's fiancée. I want you to dismiss these two employees immediately. If you don’t, you’ll regret it." Zelda arrogantly shouted.
The manager was in a difficult position. "Jasmine has a special status. We need to consult Mr. Patrick."
"I want you to kick them out right now!" Zelda insisted.
Jasmine stood up, wanting to leave on her own so she wouldn't involve Emma.
"It seems the Brown family's second daughter thinks she’s a god." Ethan's voice was cold as he walked in.
Zelda was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Ethan to be there.
Zelda was still afraid of Ethan and spoke softly, "Brother-in-law..."
Liam looked at Zelda with a shocked expression. The Brown family really knew how to pull strings.
"Miss Brown, Mr. Douglas and you are not acquainted." Liam frowned and spoke.
Ethan frowned at Zelda, then looked down at the injuries on Jasmine's face. "Did you do this?"
Zelda felt a sudden panic and nervously took a step back. Why did it seem like Ethan was helping Jasmine?
"She... Brother-in-law, she's been seducing men everywhere; she seduced Henry..."
"Watch your tone," Ethan warned her in a stern voice.
Zelda now knew she should forget about calling him brother-in-law again.
While looking down at Jasmine, Ethan furrowed his brow and asked, "How do you want to resolve this?"
Jasmine tightly gripped her clothes with both hands, took a deep breath, and looked up at Ethan. "Help me... call the police."
Ethan's gaze was complex as he crouched in front of Jasmine. "Are you sure?"
"Call the police..." Jasmine spoke again.
