Chapter 119 Ethan Demanded Jasmine Write a Reflection

Daria's face turned ashen in an instant.

"Jasmine!"

Jasmine stepped back with her phone in hand while smiling at Daria. "Ms. Daria, it's a real pleasure to become colleagues."

Daria's hands were trembling.

Jasmine had outmaneuvered her, step by step, and now she'd spilled about Carmen's spy placed near Ethan.

Knowing Carmen's nature, there was no way she'd let this slide.

She had no choice but to be at Jasmine's mercy.

'This woman...was genuinely terrifying.'

"Our Mr. Douglas looks after every employee well."

No sooner had Jasmine spoken than the police walked in. "Jasmine? We received a report that you're suspected of assault. Please come with us."

Jasmine glanced at Daria, her expression calm.

The onlookers outside the door were all mid-to-senior level staff from the company. They all witnessed the scene.

Daria, feigning composure, stepped forward and spoke with a smile. "Sorry, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm the HR Manager at Stellar Enterprises. I just had a conversation with Jasmine and realized it was a workplace handover error. There's no assault."

The officer frowned. "Are you the person in charge?"

Daria nodded. "Yes, there's been a mix-up. We'll sort it out internally. Thank you for your time."

"Daria, what's going on?" Howard approached, clearly displeased.

Jasmine stayed silent, expecting Daria to speak up and clear her own name. By doing so, Jasmine effectively closed off all of Daria's options, leaving no room for second thoughts.

"Mr. Howard, it's all a misunderstanding. It was only after a chat that I discovered there had been a mix-up during the staff handover. I made it clear in the training to forbid any peanuts, but somehow they got the impression Mr. Douglas loves peanuts, leading to this error." Daria hurriedly spoke, planning to pin the blunder on a scapegoat and

Howard looked at Jasmine meaningfully, with an audible snort. "Ethan is still in the hospital, and we need to get to the bottom of this."
