Chapter 137 Jasmine, Protect Your Man

"Huh?" Jasmine thought she had misheard, convinced she was mistaken.

"You don't seriously intend to have me marry into the Brown family, do you?" Ethan asked nonchalantly, reclining on the couch.

Jasmine opened her mouth, struggling to find words. "Mr. Douglas... At the moment, a marriage... marrying into the Brown family would be most advantageous for your position at Stellar Enterprises."

"Do I really need to trade my marriage to secure my place?" Ethan questioned.

Jasmine gasped, realizing it might not really be necessary. "But... It could solve a lot of problems."

"Then, what would be the point of our collaboration?" Ethan mused with reluctance, wishing Jasmine would catch on faster.

Panic hit Jasmine like a wave.

Ethan was implying that if he married into the Brown family, she would lose her purpose and value.

Indeed, it seemed to be the case.

The Browns could offer a permanent solution.

It was something she couldn't provide.

Tears brimming, Jasmine lowered her gaze to her hands. "So... When do you plan, to...divorce me?"

What was she to do? Was this the end of her relationship with Ethan?

Jasmine was terrified.

Zelda was emerging, and without Ethan, who would protect her?

"If you don't want to devalue yourself, then take good care of your man," Ethan teased Jasmine, nudging her to be more astute and to 'take care' of Harper whenever she saw him.

Jasmine felt even scarier, leading her closer to tears. Was Ethan blaming her for not protecting him last night?

"Okay... Mr. Douglas, I got it, I got it," she stammered. From now on, before Ethan drank anything, she would make sure to test it for any foul play.

Any drink meant for Ethan that she could intercept, she would. She would drink it herself.

Ethan cast a skeptical glance at Jasmine. Was she really getting it, or was she just putting on an act? Why did she look so distressed?

Had last night frightened her that bad?
