Chapter 7 Justin Called Ethan 'Daddy'

Daniel feared Ethan, as did everyone in the Douglas family - in fact, all of San Francisco feared him.

"Take them to the back," Daniel whispered, instructing the nanny to escort Jasmine to the servants' quarters, anxious that Ethan might become enraged.

Ethan was a man particular about cleanliness; he'd moved out upon adulthood and rarely returned home. His presence today was a rarity indeed.

"Little troublemaker," the nanny muttered bitterly after Ethan had left the balcony, and with a boot to his body, she knocked Justin to the floor.

Jasmine clutched her child in a panic, hugging him tightly to her chest as her voice choked with emotion. "We don't belong here; we need to get back home!"

No sooner had she spoken than she attempted to leave with Justin in her arms.

Justin was just a kid; how could Daniel inflict such violence on him?

"Jasmine, you better face reality," Daniel said, grabbing a fistful of her hair and yanking her back.

Justin didn't cry when the nanny knocked him to the ground; he was tough. But after seeing Daniel bully his mom, he couldn't hold back the tears. "Let go of my mom!"

"Daniel...I've already agreed to donate my kidney; what more do you want?" Jasmine sobbed as she desperately pleaded with him. Couldn't he just let her go?

"Jasmine, if it wasn't for you and your mother conspiring to steal Serena's life, she wouldn't be battling severe depression, and she wouldn't have nearly died in that car accident!" Daniel despised Jasmine.

Jasmine's gaze fell helplessly; the harm was done, and she could do nothing to change that. "I didn't... Daniel, why won't you believe me? I didn't conspire with the Averys; I knew nothing."

Serena claimed that her years with the Avery family were torturous. They concocted lies about Richard, her supposed brother, who had molested her from a young age, leaving deep, traumatic scars and severe depression.

Everyone believed Serena, not Jasmine and Richard; after all, they were the children of the instigators.
