Chapter 645 Jasmine Has Started Being a Villain

Jasmine dragged Ben and Tom into the conference room and plopped herself right into the president's chair of the Douglas Group.

Claire showed up a bit late, but she had this air about her, like she was already sure she was gonna win.

"I thought I made it clear that this woman isn't allowed in the Douglas Group," Jasmine muttered under her breath.

The head of security slipped in and whispered, "She brought a lawyer and the cops with her."

Claire even called the police.

"Since this is a family matter, it's better to talk things out. Even in wealthy families, you shouldn't make a scene and become a laughingstock," the police officer chimed in, trying to keep the peace.

Claire shot Jasmine a smug look and took a seat off to the side.

Jasmine just smiled.

This was something else; Claire actually had the nerve to call the cops.

"Well, since the police are here, that's even better. Saves me the trouble of calling them myself," Jasmine said, standing up and looking at the officers. "I want to report that Claire is suspected of multiple crimes: forging evidence to frame me five years ago, bribing the Wilson family's nanny to create false evidence against me, and being involved in the murder of Annabelle, Ethan's mother, and repeatedly harming me and Ethan."

Claire's face twisted with anger. "Jasmine, you need evidence to back up your words." "Evidence?" Jasmine leaned on the table, staring Claire down. "Don't worry, I'll show you."

Claire frowned, realizing Jasmine was not the same person she used to be.

"Since this is an internal family and company matter, resolve it properly," the police officer said, glancing at Claire. "Don't call the police for everything and waste public resources. We're out."

After the police left, Claire's lawyer stepped up. "Regarding Howard's inheritance dispute, there's a lot of controversy. Even though Claire and he had an agreement to divorce, Howard passed away during the cooling-off period. We believe that Claire and Howard's marital relationship hadn't completely broken down, and they could have stayed married. Plus, Claire has been taking care of him all these years and should rightfully inherit the marital property."

The lawyer slapped the documents on the table and looked at Jasmine. "Claire has the right to inherit not only Mr. Douglas's assets but also Ethan's property."

"According to the law, Claire, as Ethan's stepmother, was his de facto guardian, which is an undisputed fact," the lawyer said confidently.

Jasmine's fingers slowly clenched, her anger boiling over.
