Natalie let go of Jasmine’s hair. “I’m not giving the money back because I deserve it.”
Jasmine refused to accept that. “Do you? As you said, the Smith family has nothing to do with you anymore, so what right do you have to take that twenty million from Dad? That money should be mine! Mine!”
Jasmine was in need of money. She was trying to figure out how to get it when she heard from Susan that Natalie demanded twenty million from their father that morning.
Refusing to let Natalie get away with it, Jasmine tracked her stepsister down to get the money back, only to get rejected.
“Your money?” Natalie felt as if she had heard the worst joke of her life. “Let’s ask Dad then, and we’ll see who the money belongs to,” suggested Natalie before taking her phone out of her bag to call Harrison.
The man was quick to answer the call but sounded impatient. “What do you want? Are you asking for more?”
“You have misunderstood me, Dad. I’m not asking for more money. However, Jasmine’s here, and she’s demanding that I give her the twenty million. She said it should be hers.” Natalie could feel that Jasmine was struggling again, so she moved her knee and sat on top of her stepsister instead.
To Jasmine, that was an act of humiliation. Her eyes turned bloody red in anger, but still, she failed to break free. All she could do was scream with all her might.
Harrison got worried the moment he heard the scream. “What did you do to your sister, Natalie?”
“Don’t worry, Dad. She’s more than fine! Now tell us who the twenty million belongs to.” Natalie then turned on the speakerphone and placed it beside Jasmine’s ear.
“It’s yours,” sighed Harrison.
“Dad?” Jasmine called out to her father in disbelief. “Why? She’s not your daughter anymore, so why are you giving her so much money?”
“You know nothing, so just shut up!” rebuked Harrison.
Jasmine sneered, “I don’t care. I won’t let you give her the money! No!”
