CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

An indescribable feeling engulfed Harrison. It felt like an emptiness was spreading throughout his chest.

“That's enough, Mom. What’s the point of saying these things now? Natalie hates us. Why would she get us out if she was the one who sent us here? Just stop begging her!” Jasmine scolded.

She had stayed silently in the corner this whole time. Now that she finally spoke, her voice spat venomously. It brought an uncomfortable chill to those listening.

Susan's lips parted. Before she could speak, Harrison raised his hand to stop her and said, “No. We'll continue begging her!”

“Dad?” Jasmine glared at him with discontentment.

Harrison growled back in a deep voice, “What else can we do? Both your fates are in her hands!”

“Especially yours!” He pointed at Jasmine. “Natalie has evidence of your plagiarism. Before we got here, I heard that the Design Association plans to have her as a witness in court. Based on the quantity of plagiarism and the amount you earned from it, you'll be sentenced to at least five years in jail. But if Natalie gives false testimony, or doesn't attend court as a witness, then maybe your sentence will be lighter.”

Hearing this, Jasmine had nothing else to say.

I'm going to jail regardless. But if I can reduce my sentence by two years, why not?

No matter how slow-witted Susan was, even she understood that Natalie was not to be messed with at this point. Although she felt unwilling, she had no choice. She bit down on her lip and said, “But Darling, she won't even drop charges against me. Why would she agree to give false testimony or don't turn up in court?”
