Chapter 28 Betrayal

Daniel's expression darkened once again. Her betrayal was something that he still couldn't stomach.

His fiancée, his high school sweetheart, caught in a hotel bed with another man. She defended that man to the last, refused to name him, and even bore his child. "Jasmine, weren't you looking for a school for your kid? I heard that the butler's son has a house in a great school district. There's a preschool, an elementary, and a middle school right in the neighborhood. Marry him and you solve all your kid's education problems," Serena said coolly.

Jasmine couldn't fathom how cruel they could be, the burn on her hand stinging sharply behind her back.

She didn't dare resist or even retort.

"So, you're desperate to fix your bastard's schooling, huh?... Will you marry him or not?" Daniel was curious just how far Jasmine would go for her child; how shameless she could be.

When Jasmine remained silent, Daniel's annoyance grew. "Get out."

Picking up the shattered pieces of the bowl from the floor, Jasmine rose and left the

room.

"Daniel, since you've agreed; I'll take care of this," Serena declared, feigning kindness and generosity. "The butler has been hard at work for the Douglas family for years. It's only right we help him out."

Daniel hugged Serena, placating her. "Sure, do what you think is best."

As for Jasmine, she deserved every bit of this misery.

She betrayed him, and now she was reaping the consequences.

Having rinsed her scalded hand under cold water, Jasmine glanced at the time.

It was already seven in the evening. Justin must have had his dinner by now.

Just two more hours, and she could head home.
