Chapter 173 Jasmine and Daniel's Past

In the office, Daniel opened the folder with Jasmine's name on it, gazing at her ID photo for a long time.

It was the only picture of Jasmine since her release from prison, taken when she joined

the company.

He saved her picture in his encrypted folder, looking at the old photos and videos of him and Jasmine, for a very long time.

Daniel knew he couldn't forget Jasmine; he didn't have it in him. He simply harbored resentment toward her for betraying him-hated that five years ago, she stubbornly pled guilty and went to prison.

Hated her for choosing to hurt him as her way of revenge.

Before her scandal as a faux-socialite broke out, Jasmine had a gentle demeanor, innocent like a budding pure white rose.

In his encrypted photo album, there was a special folder where Daniel had secretly stashed away old pictures of him and Jasmine.

Serena thought Daniel had long since deleted them, but he'd actually kept them hidden. In the photos, a fourteen-year-old Jasmine, clad in her school uniform skirt, smiled with a pure innocence as she led the cheerleading team on the sports field. She was always so radiant, almost glowing.

Despite the crowd on the field, Daniel could always spot her at first glance. Back then, the boys in class were desperate to get a better look at Jasmine; they'd sign up for every track event just to be close enough to watch her lead the cheers.

"Go Daniel, go Daniel!" he'd hear in the video file that he'd watched over and over in the past five years. Jasmine with pom-poms in hand, would chant for Daniel from the sidelines.

That day, he was running the 4x400 meter relay. The second and third runners were lagging, but Daniel, as anchor, turned the tide just because he heard Jasmine leading the cheers for him.

At that time, he and Jasmine were not yet an item.

Youthful emotions were once so pure, filled with simplicity, free from schemes, focusing solely on the white rose they cherished.

"Jasmine, the goddess of class three!" The following video displayed Jasmine performing a solo dance during the closing ceremony of the track meet. At fourteen, she was like a flower bud on the brink of blossoming, breathtakingly beautiful in a manner that captivated observers' attention.

Jasmine had always been a dazzling star wherever she went.

On the stage, Jasmine danced solo in a white ballet costume. The audience was silent

until the end when they erupted in cheers.

"Daniel, do you like Jasmine? Why are you filming her?"

"Yeah, ha ha ha! Daniel's got a crush on Jasmine!"

The video was taken by Daniel from the audience as his classmates teased him.
