Lenora knew well, that Jasmine had a purpose for her visit.

So, this is the reason.

It only took Lenora a brief moment of thought to understand what was going on. A mix of disdain and incredulity filled her internally.

The Winfrey family must've heeded Zachary's words to seek an explanation from the Hoffman family. To protect Summer, the Hoffman family will have to find a way to get Howard out of the mess. And so, Jasmine's here. She's abandoned me for over twenty years, but now, she's here because of Summer. What a deep bond they two share, huh?

Looking at Lenora's mocking expression, Jasmine calmly scooped some vegetables and served them to her, her expression gentle. "Nora, I know you're very resistant to this matter, but I'm doing this all for your own good. Think about it, you and your friend are fine. Howard is a good-natured young man who means no harm. Wouldn't it be a pity to have him imprisoned? If you're willing to settle, both the Winfrey family and the Hoffman family will be extremely grateful. This could greatly benefit your life and career. Why go O extremes and cause a lose-lose situation?"

She added after a slight pause, "Moreover, you must be aware of this by now, this matter involves Summer. You probably don't understand fully, Summer's parents passed away not long after they arrived in Jeahron, leaving only Summer behind. You two are cousins. Can you really bear to see her fall into the hands of the Winfrey family, replacing Howard in jail?"

Lenora looked at Jasmine with a face full of mockery. "Are you done talking? If so, I'm leaving. Let me make it clear to you, I have no intention of forgiving Howard. You might as well give up on that idea."

Having said that, she stood up and left.

As she was about to walk out the door, Jasmine suddenly called out to her from behind, "Nora, don't you want to know about your real background?"

Lenora paused in her steps, her heart skipping a beat. An uneasy premonition stirred within her.

My background? Am I not the daughter of Fernando and Jasmine? What else could my background be?

Watching her retreating figure, Jasmine rose to her feet and slowly approached her. Suddenly, she dropped a bombshell, revealing, "I can't keep this from you any longer. The truth is, you are not Fernando's daughter at all." Lenora's body stiffened, her fists clenched abruptly. She turned to stare at Jasmine, her voice laced with sarcasm, saying, "You can stop with your efforts now. Even if you tell me I'm the chairman's daughter, I still won't forgive Howard." With a faint smile, Jasmine looked at Lenora before her. "I'm not spouting nonsense, Lenora. What I'm saying is true."

She sighed. "Back then, I was out there, making a name for myself, but I upset some people. In haste, I married Fernando. He was indeed a good man, but he wasn't the one I loved. Later on, your biological father came looking for me..." "So you cheated?" Lenora gritted her teeth in anger, her voice harsh and quivering uncontrollably as she
