No Remarriage for us Stay Away by Livia Storm

Chapter 369 Perfect Solution

"Why did she run if it had nothing to do with her?" Bertram scoffed, looking at Jasmine. "With the recent weather changes, focus on taking care of Donovan. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"But after all, Summer is the only child of my brother and his wife," Jasmine said, her eyes welling up with tears. "Back in our hometown, my elder brother was always so good to me. He saved the best of everything for me. I was abused by my ex- husband, but without my brother's support, how could I have managed to divorce him so easily? If anything were to happen to Summer, how could I ever face my brother?"

"I know you're a person of loyalty and honor, afraid of letting your older brother down, but if you truly care for her, you shouldn't have spoiled her to this extent! If it weren't for Edwin telling me, I wouldn't even know about her stealing other people's photographic work." Bertram looked at his wife, her face delicate and beautiful, from meticulous care, and thought back to their first encounter when she was in a pitiful and destitute state. His tone remained stern, yet his demeanor had noticeably softened.

Tears welled up in Jasmine's eyes, a pitiful sight with a hint of coquettish charm. "She was indeed wrong in this matter, and I've already reprimanded her. If she can get through this ordeal, I promise to discipline her properly. Bertram, could you help her out this time?" Bertram's heart, once as cold as stone, softened. He patted his wife's shoulder, saying, "I can clean up her mess, but she must follow my arrangements from now on."

Jasmine paused, then tentatively asked, "What's the plan?"

Bertram glanced at her. "I haven't decided yet, but I won't harm her. I just won't let her idle around the house, stirring up trouble."

Before Jasmine could speak, he added, "If you refuse this, then hand her over to the Winfrey family for handling."

"I didn't refuse," Jasmine quickly replied, "I understand. You're her uncle, and you only want what's best for her. I'll make sure to explain everything to her properly"

Once he finished speaking, Bertram turned his back, instructing his butler, "Call Ezekiel. Tell him to come back for a bit."

The butler responded, "Mr. Ezekiel called a while ago. He's already at the airport and will be home shortly."

"When he arrives, have him meet me in the study."

"Noted."
