Chapter 13 The Slap

Daniel frowned at Jasmine. "Where are you going?"

Jasmine looked down, clutching Justin as she stepped back. "Nowhere... I wasn't planning on going anywhere."

Daniel had a stern look on his face as he issued a warning. "Put the kid down, freshen up, change your clothes, and come with me."

"It's Serena's birthday. Whether you want to or not, you're coming!" Daniel's voice was icy.

Jasmine stared at Daniel in horror. "I... I don't want to go..."

"Jasmine, Serena isn't in good health, and it's out of kindness that she even invited you," Daniel said, more out of fear of upsetting Serena than anything.

Jasmine trembled.

Serena's birthday.

And hers too.
