Chapter 140 Jasmine's Counterstrike

The man's comments were loud enough for those nearby to hear.

"Oh, isn't that Jasmine? The phony heiress from the true-and-false heiress case six years ago."

"Right, I hear her personal life is pretty messy, involved with several men and all."

"Jasmine, have you forgotten me?" The man taunted, looking at Jasmine. "Have you forgotten your old flame now that you'e cling onto Mr. Douglas? I was your first, after all." It was obvious that the man was there to trap Jasmine.

Before the banquet, Jasmine had anticipated the tricks Clara might use.

She would even exploit Jasmine to smear Ethan's reputation.

All eyes were on the scene, including Michael who had been conversing with Ethan, now stunned.

"Ethan, what's all this about?" an elder, familiar with Ethan, asked, bewildered.

"Mr. Douglas, how could you keep such a person as your assistant? Could she have deceived you?"

"Ethan, your choice of people really puts you in a tight spot. Why did you bring her along to such an important event, if not to disgrace yourself?" Clara, wearing exquisite high heels and a designer gown, approached with elegance and poise.

With her was the mother of Otis.

A distinguished businesswoman of Hawaii's older generation, Otis inherited everything from his mother, including taking over her business empire.

"Stellar Enterprises picks an assistant this carelessly?" It was clear that Otis's mother was displeased with such a controversial figure attending the bidding event.

"Mother, there might be some misunderstanding here. This is Jasmine, the one I've mentioned to you years ago. She's also the one who selected the king crab gift," Otis hurried over to clarify for Jasmine.

With Ethan's connections, not many in the business circle would dare to slap him in the face like this. It was clear that this was a deliberate setup.
