Chapter 123 Ethan is Pressured into Marrying Harper

In the CEO's office.

Jasmine looked at her desk that had been moved to the corner, feeling very cramped. "Mr. Douglas, maybe I should... I'll just go outside, it's nicer there."

The CEO needed his private space too, and here she was working right in the middle of

it.

"What do you think 'personal assistant' means?" Ethan asked as he set down the

contract he was holding.

Jasmine looked down and stayed silent, not wanting to anger him.

Jasmine quickly walked over, taking the cup to get coffee for Ethan.

"Mr. Patrick Sr. won't give up custody of Justin that easily. He's waiting for you to slip up," Ethan casually reminded her.

Jasmine paused at the door, not saying a word.

"If necessary, Liam can help you with the paperwork for Justin's registration," Ethan said arrogantly without looking up.

He would never admit it, but he actually liked Justin a lot.

Ethan thought he disliked kids before he met Justin.

After encountering Justin, Ethan realized that he didn't dislike kids, he just disliked Lisa's son, Casey.

"Thank... thank you, Mr. Douglas, but there's no need." Jasmine declined, shaking her head.
