Chapter 164 Put a Sack Over Daniel and Beat the Hell Out of Him

Ethan shielded Jasmine, delivering a kick to Daniel's stomach. "Are you asking for it? Laying hands on what's mine?"

"Ethan, Jasmine is mine!" Daniel, wiping the blood from the corner of his eye, glared at Ethan with intense anger. "We've been together since we were sixteen-ask her if I still have a place in her heart!"

"Sixteen? You really have the nerve to bring that up-playing house as kids, and you think you knew about love?" Ethan's voice was deep as he tightly sheltered Jasmine in

his arms.

He didn't need to ask Jasmine if she still held a place for Daniel in her heart. Whether she did or not was irrelevant.

All he had to do was what needed to be done. Whether Jasmine would fall for him was entirely up to her.

"Jasmine, tell him you still have feelings for me. Tell him I'm the one you love!" Daniel's voice trembled, like that of a child desperately seeking confirmation and an answer.

Jasmine shivered; her entire body numb. Her anxiety was so intense that she was rendered speechless, unable to even make a sound.

"Ethan, if she doesn't answer, that means she still cares about me," Daniel stubbornly taunted Ethan, as if he had to win over Jasmine to defeat Ethan.

"Jasmine, can we talk? I understand you weren't ready six years ago, that Henry pushed you into it... But you've always had a place in my heart, I can't shake it off. Please, let's have a conversation..." Daniel's words stumbled out nervously, his hope clinging to the possibility of a meaningful dialogue with Jasmine.

"Huh..." Ethan scoffed coldly. There went Daniel, professing his love for Jasmine, saying he couldn't forget her, yet he was clueless that Jasmine had depression and was so startled that she couldn't even speak.

Ethan covered Jasmine's ears with his hands, soothing her in a gentle voice, "Don't listen to him. I don't want him to sicken you."

Over the years, the man who had caused Jasmine so much pain now had the audacity to claim he hadn't forgotten her. His words felt like filth to Ethan, who couldn't bear to let them taint Jasmine's ears.

Jasmine slowly closed her eyes, curling up rigidly and trembling in Ethan's embrace.

His heartbeat was strong, yet it surprisingly became the remedy that calmed her down quickly.

Daniel continued his taunting, "Ethan... you simply want to destroy me. You harbor resentment toward my mom for taking your dad away, fearing that I will claim what rightfully belongs to you. So, you're retaliating against me. That's why you used Jasmine. You knew I'd do anything for her..."

Daniel perceived Ethan's provocations as entirely calculated.

He felt like Ethan did it on purpose and was using Jasmine; using her to get to him.

"Do you even deserve it?" Ethan said protectively as he led Jasmine away. Holding Jasmine's hand, Ethan guided her into his office.
