Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas) novel Chapter 306

"Go ahead! Smash it! Keep going! Whatever you do to me, I'll pay it back double to Yasmine!"

Jasmine stretched her neck forward, gritting her teeth as she screamed in rage. "Ariana, you're the one who started this! Everything happening now is your karma!"

I couldn't understand what Jasmine meant. Clearly, she was only seeing things from her twisted perspective. She only viewed what she wanted to see.

"Jasmine, don't think just because you're with Nicholas now that you can do whatever you want. What you have now is only what he's given you out of pity.

"If you really think you can put my friend behind bars on your own, you're too naive."

"Me and Nicholas, together?" Jasmine's eyes looked hollow as she clung to the bed, shakily pulling herself up. She looked more like a zombie than a real threat as if a gust of wind could knock her over.

She turned toward me, her gaze sharpening as an intense hatred flared in her eyes.

"So what if it's pity? At least I'm in the best hospital. I have money and power, but what do you have, Ariana? I just can't stand how you have nothing and still refuse to bow down.

"Not everyone has a privileged background like you. I'm just teaching you that sometimes you need to swallow your pride when the situation calls for it."

I let out a cold laugh, walking over to her slowly. I raised my hand and slapped her cheek firmly, speaking with disdain.

"What if I refuse?"

Whether it was from the slap or her own anger, Jasmine's cheeks quickly flushed. Her chest heaved with every breath.

"Since you have given up Nicholas, he is mine now. But why are you still trying to take him away?

"He promised to go to the banquet with me, but as soon as he heard you were in trouble, he left me standing there alone.
