Chapter 105 Henry's Coercion on Jasmine

Who would marry a woman who can't bear children?

"Zayne, now I really see who you are," Emily leaned back on the bed, her voice laced with sarcasm as she held up a calm expression despite the turmoil within.

Betrayed once, Emily had lost faith in all men.

Zayne must have put in a lot of effort to win Emily's affections once more.

Unfortunately, when she bravely offered him her battered heart, he ruthlessly trampled over it, soaking it in blood.

Jasmine looked at Emily, feeling immense sorrow.

"Where were you when Emily was in trouble?" Jasmine clenched her fists and stood up.

Jasmine was timid, and after years of social anxiety and panic, she found it hard to look strange men in the eyes.

For Emily's sake, she stood her ground.

"I was busy" Zayne frowned.

"Bullshit, I saw you," Chloe interjected furiously. "You were hiding in the restroom, too scared to come out, you coward!"

"Her reckless flirting got her tangled up with some dangerous crowd. How was I supposed to save her?" Zayne said, his voice laced with irritation.

Emily was so enraged that she lost her color and threw the money and objects from the table on the ground. "Get out, just get out!"

Jasmine bit her lip, shivering as her eyes turned fiery red.

"I've done my part," Zayne said, making no move to pick up the scattered bills as he turned to leave.

"Wait... just wait," Jasmine stammered, her voice heavy with anger.

Zayne paused, furrowing his brow as he turned back to face Jasmine.

Without a word, Jasmine grabbed a glass of water from the bedside and threw it in Zayne's face.

Chloe had just poured some water, and it was still hot.

Zayne's face turned red and he stamped his foot in pain, his eyes seething with anger at Jasmine. "Are you freaking crazy?!"

Jasmine clenched her fists. "You had it coming."

Chloe rushed forward, pushing Zayne out of the hospital room.

Just as Zayne was about to hurl more insults at Jasmine, he felt a forceful shove from Henry who'd appeared outside the door. "Say one more word!"

Seeing Henry, Zayne paled, scrambling away in fear.
