Chapter 178 Jasmine and Ethan's Tacit Cooperation

Leaning against the car door, Erin watched the scene unfold with a smirk. "Quite the spectacle."

Richard's face darkened. This man was causing a scene at the kindergarten gate, obviously looking for trouble.

"What are you shouting about?" Richard walked over and grabbed the man from behind by the collar.

The man glanced at Richard, looking ready to explode, but he was no match for Richard's stature and recoiled. "I'm Justin's dad. Where's Jasmine? She's my woman. She was my girlfriend up until she went to prison. Now that she's out, she's avoiding me?"

The man's voice was booming, drawing all the onlookers. Parents who were there to pick up their kids started to whip out their phones to record videos, posting to class groups, social circles, and sharing on social media.

Suddenly, Jasmine was once again at the center of controversy.

"What are you yelling about?" Richard was getting angry and wanted to shut the man up, but with so many cameras pointed at them, he couldn't just resort to violence.

"Are you going to hit me? I'm Jasmine's man. Before she went to prison, I was the one supporting her, and Justin is my son. Now, look at that, she's climbed up to Ethan and is planning to dump me!" The man pushed Richard away, howling his protests.

"Where's Jasmine? Let her come out! If Jasmine doesn't come to see me today, I'm not leaving, and no one else will either."

The man came prepared, even bringing a banner that accused Jasmine of abandoning her husband and child.

Erin watched the show with interest-the ruffian making a scene, and then she glanced at Richard, his face darkened with anger, yet helpless against the bully.

True enough, bullies often target those who were too honest.

Back at Stellar Enterprise, Liam was Branson's letter of resignation as soon as he returned to the office.

He was shocked, his jaw almost dropping. "Mr. Ethan... How did Jasmine manage this? Incredible, truly incredible."

"Look at these." Ethan opened his emails, and to his astonishment, the entire project department had submitted their resignations.

This was meant to be an act of defiance against Ethan.
