Chapter 768: Chapter 768: The Face is Swollen from the Beating
Her face burned, and her heart felt even worse.
Especially seeing Enna Clark surrounded by Young Master Harris, shining and stunning, as if someone had slashed her heart with a knife, feeling even worse than having her life taken away!
But there was one person who couldn’t believe it more, and felt even worse!
That was Jacob Clark!
His face turned green, white, then purple. It was as ugly and dramatic as it could be, as if he had been slapped countless times, with the white showing through the bruised skin.
Enna was actually Rhine’s representative, so he just…!
Jacob Clark’s heart tightened, shock, regret, anger, all kinds of emotions surged up, and his expression changed constantly. He couldn’t help but step forward, “Enna, are you Rhine’s representative?”
Enna Clark turned her head like she didn’t see him, speaking to the hotel staff, “Tell the mayor that there’s no need for a speech, Rhine has only done what a company should do.”
She didn’t like the spotlight, nor cameras, nor showing off.
Moreover, there were many companies donating tonight, and many people spoke. One more or one less wouldn’t make a difference.
She took out the ring that Jasmine Clark had secretly put into her bag and gave it back to Connor Ford, then said to Jasmine, “Please take care of your things next time and don’t put them in the wrong bags, or else someone might accuse you of stealing again.”
Put in the wrong bag, stolen!
Eight words, each one like a slap in the face.
Jasmine clearly felt that the gazes around her now contained a lot of mockery. She clenched her jaw, trying to make a last-ditch effort, but Connor Ford couldn’t stand the pressure from the surroundings, rudely grasped her hand, and scolded her indignantly, “Aren’t you disgraced enough?”
First Young Lady Jasmine’s temper flared up. Even at this moment, she didn’t forget to cling to Enna, “I didn’t put it in the wrong bag, she stole my ring!”
Enna was not an unforgiving person, especially since tonight was a charity event, and she didn’t want to disrupt the event with such trivial matters. However, she was no Virgin Mary. Her eyes turned cold, glaring at Jasmine, and said, “The hotel’s restroom should have a camera installed. If you insist it was me who stole, I don’t mind going with you to check the surveillance footage. But let me make this clear, if the footage shows that you put the ring in my bag, I will call the police and let them handle it.”
Police…
Jasmine trembled all over, her face suddenly turning pale, feeling as if her throat was being choked, and she couldn’t say a word!
How did the ring get into Enna’s bag? She knew better than anyone!
If the surveillance footage was really checked, it was very likely to capture her sneaking the ring into Enna’s bag while picking it up.
By then, if Enna really called the police, her identity would be exposed!
She didn’t know, even without watching the surveillance video, her reaction had already said it all.
Everyone could see that the ring was placed in Enna’s bag by her!
Connor Ford included.
Connor Ford, after all, was a man of the world. He made a quick decision and slapped Jasmine hard across the face –
There was a crisp smack.
The whole hotel heard it!
Jasmine’s face was slapped fiercely to the side, and she was completely stunned.
This old man dared to hit her?
He dared to hit her in front of so many people!
