Chapter 129 Jasmine is Ethan's Exception

Harper paused, then spoke up in a soft voice. "You said you would take responsibility for me... Uncle Douglas agreed to the merger of our families through marriage, and the media has already covered it. They interviewed Uncle Douglas, and he confirmed it."

To Harper, it seemed like a done deal; an engagement between her and Ethan would be beneficial for both parties.

Ethan, after all, had no substantial reason to outright refuse, especially since Howard had agreed and even publicly acknowledged the engagement.

If Ethan were to disagree or deny it, it would be a direct slap in the face to Howard, his father.

Ethan's position at Stellar Enterprises was far from secure it was indeed hanging by a thread. What belonged to him could easily be taken by Clara and Daniel. Only a business marriage could strengthen Ethan's position and his commercial value within the company.

So, unless Ethan was a fool, he would never deny it.

Jasmine, clutching her laptop, felt her fingers tighten.

She had seen the news.

Howard had indeed confirmed the business merger with Stellar Enterprises.

The media were now all over the story. They were calling it the wedding of the century.

Many claimed that the Brown family had struck the jackpot.

The eldest daughter to marry Ethan, and the second to Henry.

The intentions of the Brown family were clear as day to the public.

But there was no helping it—a marriage with the Browns was extremely advantageous for Ethan in his current situation.

This was something Jasmine couldn't assist with.

All she could do was her best in her role, managing the company's internal affairs for Ethan.

"My father agreed to a merger between our families? Is he planning to divorce and remarry?" Ethan asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Harper's breath hitched, and she forced a smile. "Ethan, stop joking around."

Ethan snorted and boarded the plane.

Jasmine followed Liam, stepping aside to let Harper go through to join Ethan.

In truth... Jasmine understood that Harper could offer Ethan benefits far greater than anyone else could.

"Let me take that." Liam took the computer bag, gesturing for Jasmine to sit inside.

The seats in business class were spacious and quiet.
