Chapter 42 Mr. Douglas

Jasmine looked up at Ethan and after a long pause, she began, "Mr. Douglas, this is pointless..."

Mentioning Serena would only drag her deeper into the mess and invite reckless harm from Daniel and the Wilson family.

She just wanted to protect herself.

She wasn't gifted with the inherent superiority and influence that Ethan had.

Ethan's brows knitted together. "If you don't stand up for yourself when bullied, any harm that comes your way is on you."

His voice was frigid, instilling a twinge of fear in Jasmine.

Ethan was not a 'good guy' in the traditional sense, but he had saved her more times than she could count. She was grateful, yet she knew better than to expect him to understand her plight.

"Let's make a bet, Mr. Douglas," Jasmine said, her voice hoarse, and her gaze intense. "What are we betting on?" Ethan asked, his eyes deep with meaning.

"That even if I speak up, Serena won't be affected in the least," Jasmine let out a bitter laugh.

But if she did speak up, Daniel and Evan would never let her off the hook.

She could foresee the consequences.

The fear of those consequences - no one could understand it.

Ethan was no different from the rest; he condemned her cowardice, and her failure to retaliate, without knowing why she couldn't fight back.

"I can help you," Ethan's brows furrowed.
