“What did you just say?” Carl asked in disbelief.Just moments ago, Jasmine had been fighting off Manuel. And now, suddenly, she was holding Carl back, stopping him from striking the man down. Her grip on Carl’s arm tightened. She was terrified—not just for herself, but for him. If Carl hurt Manuel further, whoever stood behind that spoiled bastard would surely come after him. Unlike her, Carl didn’t have a powerful name to shield him.“Just stop it now, Carl.” Jasmine drew a deep breath, her voice trembling. “T-Thank you for helping me. But you don’t need to take this any further. Let’s just… apologize to Mr. Smith.”Carl’s jaw dropped. “Do you even hear yourself, Jasmine? He tried to rape you in front of everyone—and you want me to apologize to him instead?”Frustration welled up in Jasmine’s chest. “You don’t understand, Carl. Mr. Smith isn’t just some ordinary man! We need to end this here—before it gets worse!”Carl let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head at her words. He had s

Manuel groaned when he heard Carl’s voice. He glanced back at the young man but still didn’t move from on top of Jasmine.“And who the hell are you this time, huh? You’ve seen what’s happening already. So, do me a favor—don’t interfere!” he barked.But Carl stood his ground. His brows furrowed, fists clenched, he glared at Manuel.“Let her go,” he repeated firmly.Irritated, Manuel released Jasmine’s dress and let out an annoyed laugh.“I’m just trying to fuck a woman, and people keep interrupting me!” he shouted. “Don’t worry—if you’re jealous, you can have your turn after I’m done.”Carl’s fists tightened, his body ready to lunge, but a guard blocked his path. Carl’s glare sharpened.“Get out of my way if you don’t want to get hurt.”That was the last straw for Manuel. He snapped his fingers.“Go on—take him down. Teach him a lesson for meddling in my business!”The guards wasted no time, charging straight at Carl, while Manuel turned his attention back to Jasmine, trying to force h
Chapter 9
The color drained from Michael’s face as the realization struck him like lightning. This wasn’t just some drunken fool he’d pushed—this was Manuel Smith. No wonder the man’s face had felt so familiar. The weight of his mistake pressed down on him like a vice.He scrambled upright, forcing a trembling smile onto his lips. “M-Mr. Smith! I—I didn’t recognize you right away. I’m sorry. It was all just a misunderstanding.”Manuel’s lips twisted into a cruel smirk. “Misunderstanding? Where’s that courage you flaunted earlier? Come on, bring it out now!” His voice dripped with mockery, loud enough for the crowd to hear.Michael bowed his head repeatedly. “I’m really sorry for not recognizing you, Sir! Sorry!” When silence met his pleas, desperation took over—he began slapping himself across the face, one blow after another. “I’m a fool! Stupid! Forgive me for what I did! I was just trying to protect a friend! I didn’t know who you were!”Jasmine’s heart twisted painfully at the sight. Michae
Chapter 8
Jasmine stormed into the banquet hall, her chest heaving with fury. Her heels struck the marble floor like gunshots, but no amount of noise could drown the chaos in her head. She couldn’t believe it—Carl had already found someone else. The sting of betrayal, the humiliation of being replaced so quickly—it burned in her chest like fire. Lost in her emotions, she didn’t notice the man crossing her path until it was too late.Their shoulders collided hard. Jasmine nearly stumbled to the floor but caught herself just in time.“Watch where you’re going, woman! Are you blind?!” a deep, drunken voice barked. His eyes were half-closed, unfocused, yet blazing with menace.Jasmine’s brows knitted together in annoyance. She was ready to snap back—until her eyes landed on his face.“Wait… isn’t that Manuel Smith?” a guest whispered nearby.“Oh no… she’s doomed just by talking to him,” another muttered in horror.Jasmine’s throat went dry. Her lips parted, but her voice came out trembling. “I-I’m
Chapter 7
Jasmine looked at the woman from head to toe. She looked at Carl. “Who is she, Carl?” Carl sighed. He turned to Sofia, but Jasmine grabbed his arm again. “Don’t you dare turn away from me! Who is she? And why does she interfere with us?” she demanded. Sofia’s eyebrow arched high, her smirk sharp enough to cut glass. “Who am I? This man—” she strode forward and pulled Carl away from Jasmine, linking her arm possessively through Carl’s, “—is with me.” She leaned closer, her voice deliberately sweet. “Sorry for keeping you waiting.” Jasmine’s lips parted in shock. Never in her life had she seen another woman dare approach Carl like that. For years, he had belonged only to her. The sight rattled her in ways she didn’t want to admit. Michael, too, stiffened, a flash of envy sparking in his chest at the sight of the stunning Sofia clinging to Carl’s side. Michael gave a mocking chuckle. “Miss, don’t you know who that man is? He’s an ex-convict!” Sofia only rolled her eyes, tossi
Chapter 6
The Carson banquet building gleamed under the evening sky, its grand façade glowing with golden light. Inside, a colossal chandelier glittered from the vaulted ceiling, scattering diamonds of brilliance across the polished marble floor. A long crimson carpet stretched from the entrance, where guests from the country’s most prominent families made their arrival. Among them were Jasmine Garcia and Michael Montez. Michael’s smile widened as he offered his hand to Jasmine while she gracefully stepped down from the car. She wore a silver V-neck gown that shimmered with every movement. The daring slit in her skirt revealed glimpses of porcelain skin, and the bare design of her back left the crowd captivated. As the two walked the red carpet, whispers rippled among the guests. “Is that Ms. Garcia?” one voice murmured. “Yes. I heard she’s one of the rising young CEOs in the country,” another replied. “She’s breathtaking. No wonder she came with Mr. Montez.” “Isn’t he the heir to Montez
