Chapter 186 Ethan's Possessiveness Over Jasmine

Wrapped in Ethan's arms, Jasmine felt an unexplainable sense of security. However, she couldn't help but wonder if Ethan had heard her conversation with Daniel...

Perhaps he had misunderstood something.

Daniel and Ethan were at loggerheads inside the elevator.

"Jasmine is my ex-girlfriend. Aren't you afraid that gossip will make us a

laughingstock?" Daniel tried to remind Ethan not to tarnish his reputation.

Ethan sneered, "You're already engaged, yet still entangled with your brother's wife. If word got out, whose reputation would truly be tarnished?"

Daniel clenched his fists. "Who doesn't know I've been with Jasmine?"

"What? You think because you've been blind once, you can't see clearly again?" Ethan retorted, fixing a cold gaze on Daniel.

As tensions escalated and it appeared they were on the brink of confrontation, Jasmine instinctively embraced Ethan, whispering softly, "My... my sight has been restored."

Daniel tightened his grip on his fists, his expression darkening to a frightening degree. Jasmine was deliberately provoking him.

"Ethan, you just hate me, that's why you have to pick a fight over everything. You consider Jasmine, who I discarded, as a treasure," Daniel sneered before stepping out of the elevator.

"You look so pathetic scrambling on the floor for your dignity," Ethan retorted, gripping Jasmine's hand.

Daniel's knuckles whitened as he paused briefly, then strode away briskly, his expression clouded with fury.

In due time, Ethan would face his own set of challenges. Branson had already begun causing turmoil within the project team, and Ethan would inevitably be tasked with resolving the ensuing chaos and justifying the situation to the board.

After Daniel left, Jasmine, feeling nervous, tried to pull away from Ethan's grasp.

Ethan, however, held her wrist tightly and pulled her into his office.

Feeling Ethan's anger, Jasmine was gripped by fear. It felt as though her heart had lodged itself in her throat, suffocating her with dread. The thought of Ethan becoming enraged and abandoning her sent shivers down her spine.

"Still in love with Daniel? Hoping he breaks off his engagement with Serena?" Ethan's anger was palpable.

Jasmine, frightened, looked at Ethan, shivering and unsure how to explain.
