Chapter 581 Truth about Ethan

Jasmine didn't overthink it and hopped into the car with the kids.

That dude strutted into the hotel, glanced back at Jasmine and Ethan getting in the car, and smirked.

In the car, Ethan turned to Jasmine and said softly, "So, the Raymond Group is not just Brandon's. We started it together. With the Douglas Group and Howard in the mix, I wanted to be ready, so I kicked off the Raymond Group. Since I couldn't be the face, I let Brandon take the spotlight."

Ethan spilled it all in one go, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders.

Jasmine sighed and hugged Ethan, looking pained. "I knew it. Someone as greedy as Brandon couldn't have taken the Raymond Group this far. It's not your fault. You probably didn't see Brandon being such a snake, using your need for secrecy to steal the win and boot you out."

Jasmine felt for Ethan, not knowing how much betrayal he'd faced.

If her best friend did that to her, how tough would that be?

"Huh?" Ethan was puzzled. "No, that's not it."

"You don't need to explain. Brandon's true colors are clear. He only cares about money, not feelings. It's scary," Jasmine said softly.

Ethan chuckled. "It's really not like that. This was all a front by Brandon and me. I still have full control of the Raymond Group. With all the uncertainties and my selfish wish to keep you close and make you stronger, I didn't tell you."

Ethan didn't dare admit he wanted Jasmine to feel sorry for him, protect him, and keep him in her heart and mind.

Jasmine processed Ethan's words and realized he'd been lying all along!

"You lied to me again?" Jasmine was a bit pissed.

Ethan scratched his nose. "A white lie, I swear."

Jasmine glared at Ethan. "What else are you hiding from me?"

"I swear, nothing else." Ethan thought hard. There shouldn't be anything else, right?

He thought, 'Connor's stuff doesn't count, right? That's Connor hiding it from Jasmine, not me. I know nothing about it.'

"Ethan, have you ever been poor?" Jasmine's voice was sharp.
