Chapter 135 Ethan Calls Jasmine His Wife

"Come with me, Mr. Douglas is on the warpath," Liam sighed, beckoning Jasmine to

follow.

Jasmine wiped away her tears, trying to keep her composure without giving anything away, and followed Liam with her head down.

"What's going on with you? Why did you run off last night? Feeling guilty?" The receptionist from last night spotted Jasmine as soon as they entered the hotel and rushed over angrily. "That work ID is fake, isn't it?"

Jasmine remained silent with her head lowered.

Liam furrowed his brow, about to ask what had happened, when Ethan emerged from the elevator.

The receptionist quickly approached him. "Mr. Douglas, did you have a good night's rest?"

Ethan, with a stern face, kept his eyes fixed on Jasmine.

Jasmine didn't dare to look up at Ethan, standing there somewhat helplessly. Ignoring everyone, Ethan walked straight up to Jasmine.

Jasmine, nervous, bit her lip and took a step back, her fingers clenching in a panic.

With a forceful aura, Ethan reached out and lifted Jasmine's hair, surprising the onlookers.

Jasmine felt his fingertips on her skin, burning hot.

Startled and wanting to pull away, she was caught by Ethan's grip on her wrist.

"Why are you running?" Ethan's voice was oppressive.

Jasmine's eyes reddened, with a look of distress but she dared not cry.

Ethan's gaze fell on a love bite on the back of Jasmine's neck, he raised an eyebrow and spoke again, "Where did you go last night?"

Jasmine, with her head down, responded in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry... so sorry. I couldn't find you... It's all my fault..."

Jasmine broke into a desperate cry, lying because she didn't dare to let Ethan know, "I'm sorry, can you... please don't fire me."

Jasmine tried hard to stop crying, but she was terrified.

Terrified of losing Ethan's affection, she really needed Ethan now.

"Why would I fire you?" Ethan murmured softly, his initially menacing presence visibly softening.

Could there be a hint of... relief in his demeanor?

Liam was stunned; what had gotten into Mr. Douglas?
