Chapter 512 Abandon Me

Just as Jasmine was about to get up and leave, Isla called out to her, "Wait."

"Anything else?" Jasmine turned her head to look at Isla.

Isla opened her mouth, but then she said, "It's nothing. You can go now. Just don't forget what you've promised me."

She initially wanted to caution Jasmine that Lenora was pregnant. If she wanted Lenora to step aside, then this child simply could not be allowed to exist.

However, a thought crossed Isla's mind. The woman before me is Lenora's mother, after all. What if she finds out Lenora is pregnant and, out of sympathy, changes her mind?

Isla chose to keep that matter to herself, letting the mother and daughter continue their squabble.

After leaving the police station, Jasmine gazed into the distance, her eyes reflecting a serene depth. She let out a deep sigh of relief and glanced at her assistant nearby. "Let's go back," she said. The assistant silently nodded, following closely behind her in measured strides.

"Don't share today's events with anyone, especially not Bertram, got it?" Jasmine shot her assistant a sidelong glance, her voice icy with an underlying threat.

"Understood," the assistant hastily responded. "Well... Mrs. Hoffman, are we heading back to Jeahron now or..."

The plan was for Jasmine to return to Jeahron after arranging for Summer's non-custodial sentencing.

The assistant speculated that the plans might have changed then.

Sure enough, Jasmine said, "Let's head back to the hotel. We can discuss leaving in a few days. Can you look into what Lenora has been up to lately?" Lenora seemed as if she was born just to oppose her.

"Yes."

Upon the assistant's cue, the ringtone of Jasmine's phone promptly sounded.

She pulled out her phone from her bag, glancing at the caller ID. With her well-manicured thumb, she swiped across the screen. "Hello, Summer?"

On the other end of the phone, Summer's voice sounded hoarse and dry. "Aunt Jasmine, has the application been completed?"

"Don't worry. It's all taken care of. Is there anything else?" Jasmine's voice was gentle.

Ever since discovering her pregnancy and being released from the detention center, Summer had become quiet and withdrawn. She was visibly downcast and gradually lost weight, her entire demeanor appearing gloomy. Jasmine watched with a heavy heart. Normally, she was careful not to upset her, speaking in soft, gentle tones, expressing her deep affection and concern.

Had it not been for Lenora, how could Summer have ended up like this? Jasmine's dislike for Lenora grew increasingly in her heart.
