Natalie recounted when Jasmine was devastated by Shane’s decision to annul their marriage, and how she decided to jump off a building to end her life. Her mouth went dry from detailing it all.
Yulia was beyond elated to hear what Natalie had to say. “She brought it all upon herself. All those horrible things that she had done—plagiarism and drugging others. What goes around comes back around. How ironic!”
Natalie smiled.
Damn right it does.
Karmic retribution may be late, but it will always come. Natalie had always believed in that.
“Now that he’s lost his beloved daughter, he’s afraid that no one would want to care for him when he’s old and frail. So, now he’s pinning his hopes on Jared, eh?” Yulia sniggered.
Natalie nodded. “That’s right. Actually, he did ask me Jared’s contact a while back because he’s planning to let Jared inherit the Smith Group, but now the Smith Group has already gone bankrupt,” she snickered as she said, pleased about how things turned out for Harrison.
“Has he no shame!” Yulia was enraged. “How is that man so brazen? He wants Jared to go back and inherit that pile of mess. Something’s not quite right with his head, I reckon. He can’t possibly think that the Smiths are that great and mighty, does he? Now he has the audacity to ask Jared to care for him. Shameless doesn’t even begin to describe that man.”
When Yulia and Harrison were getting a divorce, the man despised Jared for having heart problems and had practically renounced him.
Now that his precious daughter is gone, he’s coming after Jared instead? Does he think the world revolves around him?
Natalie mumbled an affirmative response. “Yes, so I did not give him Jared’s contact back then.”
“I’m so glad that you did the right thing. I will never hand Jared back to him,” Yulia snorted.
Natalie bit her lower lip and said, “But Mom, didn’t you say that he was going to sue you? What if…”
“Don’t worry. Just let him be. I remember vividly what he said about Jared, and I even have recordings of him saying that. He doesn’t stand a chance of winning if he decides to contend his rights in court. At most, the court is only going to mandate Jared to pay monthly parental support to that man,” Yulia added.
