Chapter 143 Zelda's Revenge Injures Justin

Ethan was walking ahead with Jasmine trailing behind by the seaside.

With Ethan there, she was too distracted to enjoy the ocean.

Her heart was fluttering, and all she could think about was Ethan.

She had thought he would take her straight back to San Francisco, but instead, he had actually brought her to see the ocean.

"Mr. Ethan, we've handed it over to the police. The janitor said it was Clara's assistant who made her do it, the police have taken in Clara's assistant, but she took all the blame. We can't trace it back to Clara for now."

Liam was on the phone with Ethan.

"Expose this to the media, say the injured person was me after drinking that bottle of water." Ethan's voice was deep. "And suppress all the online news about the Brown- Douglas merger. I don't want to see any more stories about the union, understand?" "Okay, Mr. Ethan."

Ethan stepped aside near the car to make the call.

Jasmine walked alone by the seaside.

The beach had flower-shaped lamps, designed especially for tourists.

As people walked past, the lamps would light up and blossom, and soft music would play.

Jasmine looked up in surprise at the blooming lights, twirling gently in their glow.

She once had been the lead ballerina of the San Francisco Ballet and their prima white

swan.

But during her time in prison, her backbone was shattered, forcing her to swallow the bitter truth.

Lifting her hand lightly, Jasmine attempted a ballet position.

Her body was rigid, and she lowered her hand, feeling a sense of loss.

It seemed she could never return to her past glory.

Moving to the soft music, Jasmine tried to stand on tiptoe.

After several tries, she gave up.

A swan with broken wings could never fly in the blue sky again.

Beside the car, Ethan leaned against the door, watching Jasmine intently.

He had seen Jasmine on stage before and felt back then that Daniel was unworthy of

the blooming white rose.

But later, that rose was torn apart, trampled into the mud.

Yet, he couldn't find a fault in the rose-it was too beautiful, too pure.
