Chapter 43 Retribution

As she stood up, Jasmine spoke again, "In prison, they'd contaminate my water. I knew, and every time I resisted, they'd just ante up. So, I stopped fighting it and drank it down, nausea and all... I figured if I endured, eventually they'd get bored and stop terrorizing me."

Depression had rendered Jasmine mute for a long while, speaking had become an ordeal.

But in front of Ethan, she felt compelled to explain.

"The moment they were about to tire of their cruel game, an inmate, in front of everyone, pointed out what they were doing to me. Their brief leniency turned into relentless vengeance. After that inmate was released the following year, she couldn't protect me anymore."

Her laugh held a tinge of bitterness.

What Jasmine went through after her protective fellow inmate was released, Ethan could imagine without her having to say more.

Ethan was stunned.

Today, Jasmine had put him in his place twice.

He realized she was hinting at his current stance if he couldn't protect her indefinitely, he shouldn't intervene carelessly.

"Think about what I've told you before you respond. Given Daniel's disdain for you and Justin, he wouldn't lift a finger to help with Justin's education, but I can," Ethan pressed, knowing this was her weak spot.

A shadow of disappointment flitted across Jasmine's eyes.

She couldn't afford to think too highly of a businessman like Ethan.

Over the years, she'd totally shut herself off, vowing never to let her heart be swayed or to place her trust in anyone ever again.
