Chapter 523 Annabelle's Punishment

Jasmine looked at the familiar playground, watching a few people run in the dim light.

The lecture hall was still dim, with old desks and chairs that had never been replaced. The floor was spotless, not a speck of dust in sight.

She remembered standing on that stage, shining brightly.

"That year, I danced a solo, the White Swan."

Jasmine stepped onto the stage, recalling the dance steps and gently practicing them.

Her grace and poise were unmatched. She was like the moon on a high mountain, like a glimmer on the sea. Born a proud princess, she wouldn't bow her head, even in the mud.

Ethan sat in the audience, watching her like a white rose blooming, withering, and then reborn.

Today's Jasmine was his rose.

No longer pure white, she was now a fiery red, with sharp thorns but still beautiful.

Music from her phone filled the empty hall as Jasmine danced a solo, just for Ethan.

It was as if she danced her entire life story.

From an ugly duckling to a white swan.

"Ethan," she said, breathless at the end of her dance. "Thank you for coming into my life."

She thought, 'You are my light. You are my salvation.'

Ethan looked at her, taking a moment to respond. "Thank you for coming into my life, too."

Jasmine's eyes reddened, tears glistening.

She smiled at Ethan, a brilliant and dazzling smile.

"Ethan, I've made peace with my past." She held his hand and walked to the dressing room behind the stage.

Rows of lockers, numbered one to one hundred, lined the room.

They used to store their dance shoes and clothes there.

Jasmine found locker number 12, opened it, and found a small USB drive inside.
