With that, she violently hung up the phone.
Jasmine was indeed a few years older than the girl, and the brat had used her youth as a weapon to completely humiliate her.
But no one stays eighteen forever, even if there's always someone who is eighteen.
Jasmine slowly stood up, glancing back at Juniper. "I have to go take care of something."
Judging by the deadly calm on her face, she was about to handle it personally.
Juniper had been staying there for ten days. While she still didn't converse much with Jasmine, she had already begun to see her as a friend.
Jasmine was a pariah in Finn's social circles—even Nelson hadn't known who she was prior to this. It was clear no one gave her an ounce of respect.
And this young girl was the darling of Finn's mother, the absolute apple of Finn's eye. If Jasmine went alone, she would undoubtedly be walking into a slaughter.
Juniper, far too familiar with the ruthless cruelty of men, tried to stop her. "What if Finn's mother tries to kill you?"
Jasmine merely brushed past her. "Make your own dinner tonight."
With that, she got in her car and drove off.
Meanwhile, Finn's assistant was brutally fired. Not long after she had slapped the girl, she received a call directly from Finn.
The sound of the girl's hysterical sobbing echoed through the receiver—she was clearly already curled up in Finn's arms, playing the victim.
Finn's tone was ice-cold. "Tell Human Resources yourself. Don't bother coming in tomorrow."
The assistant thought she had misheard. She had been with Finn for a year, and he had always seemed to indulge her. Now, he was firing her over another woman?
Her eyes instantly flooded with tears of pure rage. "Mr. Lawrence, I know exactly who she is! She's just the daughter of your mother's dead friend! She calls you 'brother' while plotting to crawl into your bed! Don't you think that's utterly sickening?!"
She screamed the words, utterly hysterical.
But the girl snatched the phone right out of Finn's hand, her voice dripping with venomous triumph. "Finn and I are practically married in everything but name! You actually had the nerve to come to my campus, hit me, and make me a laughingstock?! Let me tell you right now, you will never find another job in this city! Finn is going to destroy you for what you did to me!"
