Chapter 608 The emotional drama, she won the bet

Jasmine's tears fell like they were free, hitting the ground.

Shawn was indeed shocked, looking at her incredulously, her heart aching.

This was because she remembered her daughter who died in the fire...

Ten years ago, the Shawn family villa caught fire, she managed to protect her son Xavier, allowing him to leave the fire scene safely, but her only daughter could not escape the gaze of death, thus perishing in the fire.

This has always been a pain in Shawn's heart. Now, hearing that Jasmine had a siEllar experience, her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Shawn beside her knew that she was thinking of the past events, gently patting her shoulder, saying, "That was so long ago, don't be sad, our daughter is doing well in heaven."

"Lao Shawn , I will never forget how Shawn died. If I hadn't taken Xavier away and ignored her, she wouldn't have..." Here, Shawn 's eyes welled up, tears falling uncontrollably.

Jasmine looked at all of this, knowing deep down that she had won this emotional drama.

Yes, Shawn 's daughter died in the fire, so she has always had a fear of fire. By spinning this lie at this moment, she believed that Shawn would definitely change her attitude towards her.

However, this is not enough. She still has to continue to act pitifully, the more pitifully she speaks of herself, the more she can arouse sympathy from others. Over the years, in order to establish herself in high society, she has learned to observe people's words and expressions, and even knows how to win people's hearts. It is because of this that she has been able to keep Shawn tightly in her grasp.

However, she never expected that all of this would be almost destroyed by Freya.

"Aunt Shawn , I know you must dislike me now, and I also know that with my current status, I am not worthy of Xavier, so... I will not come to the manor in the future. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't despise me."

After speaking, she placed the gift down, turned around with a heart full of sadness, and walked away with heavy steps.

Seeing her like this, Shawn couldn't bear it in her heart and finally called out to her, "Jasmine, stay and accompany me!"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine's face lit up with joy, but she dared not show it too much. She looked down with a humble expression and said, "Aunt Yolanda , I deceived you. Are you not angry?"

"I am angry, but there are some things I still need to ask you about, so please stay for now."

Seeing Yolanda's soft-hearted demeanor, Shawn, worried about being deceived again, ordered someone to investigate Jasmine's background. From a young age, his wife had a kind heart and was easily trusting of others.

Although Jasmine has explained everything, some things are true or false, it's not clear based on one person's word.

"Jasmine, I'm not going to ask about these hot searches online for now. Auntie is giving you another chance, tell the truth yourself."

After Shawn left, Yolanda spoke up.

Hearing this, Jasmine's pupils narrowed. She naturally knew what Shawn was going to do now, he must be investigating her background and the truth of the fire as she mentioned.

Shawn is a businessman, shrewd and cunning, he's not as easily deceived as Yolanda.

But it doesn't matter, she came here today prepared to confess everything, and at the same time, she will shift all the blame onto Freya.

"Aunt Shawn , regarding the mystery of my birth that's been widely circulated online, I don't intend to hide it from you anymore. I'm not some noble lady, I'm just a daughter of a small household in the capital city. And as for whose household that is, you are familiar with it."

Yolanda was surprised, "Whose household?"

Jasmine wiped away a tear and choked out, "It's the Lawsons family, your old friend Charlotte, she's my stepmother..."

The Lawsons family...

Charlotte...

This truth shocked Charlotte deeply.

She incredulously looked at Jasmine and said, "You are the daughter of Bruce and Sophie?"

"Aunt Shawn , you misunderstood. Bruce and my mom's child is Freya. I am the daughter brought by Sophie. As for Bruce and Charlotte's daughter, she is called Freya."

Jasmine didn't mind showing her humble background in front of Yolanda now. She had already figured out a way to deal with her and was confident in reviving her image in front of her.

Even if she could never become a daughter-in-law of the Shawn family in this lifetime, with the Shawn family as a strong backing, she was not afraid of not being able to make it internationally in the future.

"Yes, Freya, how is she now?"

Since marrying Shawn, Yolanda rarely returned to the capital city due to health reasons, and although she was best friends with Charlotte, they had not met due to busy work schedules.

When Charlotte passed away unexpectedly, she hurried over but didn't even get to see her one last time as she was already laid to rest.

It was also during that time that she first met Freya.

At that time, Freya was only eight years old, but she was already smart, clever, and elegant, with a graceful and spirited demeanor. Back then, Jasmine had thoughts of having Freya as her daughter-in-law in the future. However, many things happened afterwards, and she never saw Freya again after that. Now, Freya must be around eighteen or nineteen years old. Mentioning Freya, a hint of fierceness flashed in Jasmine's eyes. She pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes, "Shortly after Aunt Lan passed away, I went abroad to study. Not long after, the apartment I was living in caught fire. Although I survived, my appearance was completely destroyed, so I haven't returned to visit family, and I'm not very clear about the situation of the Lawsons family." "I see!" Yolanda's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment. In fact, she knew about everything that had happened to the Lawsons family. Yolanda had always wanted to find an opportunity to bring her back, but at that time, she had just had a miscarriage and her health was severely compromised, coupled with some crises in the Lawsons family business, so it was put aside. Who knew that nearly ten years had passed in a flash. Recently, Lawsons family's upheaval was also known to Yolanda from the news. Freya exposed the conspiracy between Sophie and Bruce, personally sent Sophie to prison, and took over the entire Group.

After that, Bruce, Freya, encountered one incident after another, and this news was reported for a week as a result. Yolanda had always wanted to meet Freya, but Xavier's child made her worried, so she didn't have the mood to go out. Unexpectedly, Jasmine turned out to be the child brought by Sophie. "Aunt Shawn , Freya has always believed that my mother and I killed Aunt Lan that year. She still holds grudges against me for this, so I returned to the capital to visit Aunt Lan, and she..." Here, Jasmine felt wronged, "I thought our reunion as sisters would be joyful, but she pushed me to the ground and covered me in mud. I really don't know where I misunderstood her, she tried to get rid of me two or three times..."
