Chapter 26 Struggle

"Daniel! You were once engaged to Jasmine. How can you treat her like this with no remorse?" Richard's voice seethed with rage.

"Remorse? A family of con artists talking about remorse? When she was cheating on me and having another man's baby, where was her conscience then?" Daniel warned Richard. "Hand her over, or else..."

Groggy, Jasmine awoke to the sound of Daniel's voice and began to tremble.

Standing on shaky legs, she faced Daniel. "I'll go with you... just spare my brother and Justin."

Jasmine saw Daniel as a madman who was capable of anything.

After last night's humiliation, she knew he was capable of harming Richard and Justin today.

"Jasmine, you're burning up. We need to get to the hospital," Richard said, his voice laced with anxiety.

"I'm fine, Richard..." Jasmine said shakily. She headed towards Daniel and, without hesitation, got into the car.

Daniel seemed pleased with her compliance, his gaze softening significantly.

He was aware, somewhere deep down, that he might have gone too far last night... "What new torment do you have planned for me today?" Jasmine asked hoarsely.

"Serena's discharged for now and staying at the Douglas estate. You're going to take care of her," Daniel commanded, insisting Jasmine repent to Serena.
