BXBX NOVEL Chapter 398: Juliet Jordan’s Threat
Jacob Clark was filled with regret now. If only he hadn’t listened to Jasmine’s nonsense and driven Enna away. Having a daughter close to Young Master Lawrence would have brought him great fortune, instead of losing 150 million and being the target of everyone’s contempt, like a rat trying to cross the street.
Juliet Jordan collapsed onto the sofa in disbelief, muttering to herself, “No, no way… How could it be… How could Young Master Lawrence be interested in that illegitimate daughter? Absolutely impossible… There must be some mistake…”
She couldn’t believe that Baron Lawrence, with his family background, could have any woman he desired.
Enna was neither shapely nor well-bred, so Baron Lawrence would never be attracted to her, even for amusement.
How could this be happening?
Jacob, filled with resentment, directed his anger at her, “Humph! What’s so impossible about it! At least Enna has a brain, which is better than Jasmine, who’s had her head up her ass since she was little! All these years, what has she done other than cause trouble for me?”
He was usually polite in front of others, but fierce in private.
When Juliet heard him trampling on Jasmine like this, she abruptly raised her head and looked at him, disbelieving, “Jacob, Jasmine may be wrong, but she’s still your daughter. How could you talk about her like that?”
“If it weren’t for her being my daughter, I would have sent her to jail myself the last time! Instead of trusting you to handle this matter!” Jacob’s tone was cold and uncompromising.
He wasn’t just venting, but truly regretful from the bottom of his heart.
If he had known Enna would end up in a lofty position, he wouldn’t have been so softhearted in the past and let this stupid woman deal with Jasmine.
Juliet shifted from disbelief to complete disillusionment. She suddenly looked up and sneered, “So you’re regretting it now, and what, you want to reconcile with Enna?”
Jacob’s heart skipped a beat.She caught him accurately, but Juliet continued to mock, “Don’t dream it! That illegitimate daughter won’t acknowledge you anymore! Last time she called, she addressed you as President Clark, not Dad. She no longer recognizes you as her father, and even if you want to recognize her now, it depends on whether she’s willing to or not.”
“Isn’t it because of you and Jasmine that Enna has misunderstood me?” Jacob was weak, but still firm, “No matter what, I’m her dad, she won’t disown me.”
Juliet was just waiting for these words, “So now go and find her. Let her plead with Young Master Lawrence to spare my brother.”
“Are you insane?” Why would he do that?
Juliet looked at him contemptuously, noting his confusion before letting out her trump card, “If that illegitimate daughter knew the truth about what happened back then, do you think you’d still be her dad? She would not only disown you, she would probably do anything to take revenge on you… Ah!” Receiving a slap on her left cheek, Juliet clutched her face and screamed.
Jacob glared at her with murderous eyes as if he were looking at an enemy instead of his wife of over twenty years. Where was the tender affection? “If you dare to say anything, I won’t let you off!”
Now Juliet had nothing left to lose. Her own brother and daughter were in danger, what was there to fear?
She raised her face defiantly and fought back, “Jacob, I’m telling you, if you don’t help my brother and get Jasmine out, I’ll bring you down with me. I’ve lost everything, who do I have left to fear?”
“You’re different. You still want your company to go public and achieve great success. Since you are a businessman, you might want to weigh the pros and cons for yourself..”
