With a name like Jasminum, I should’ve known it was Jasmine!

When Connor saw his mother laughing, he could not help asking, “Mommy, is this woman your arch-nemesis?”

“Why would you say that?”

“Because she’s everywhere! You’re working at Mr. Shane’s company and she bullies you there. Now, she’s even using her studio to pick on your studio! She’s so despicable!” Connor ranted while shaking his fist angrily.

“Yeah, she’s so annoying!” Sharon chimed in.

Natalie stroked her darlings’ heads. She was about to speak when Connor narrowed his eyes and announced, “Mommy, I’ll teach her a lesson for you!”

His cold tone had her knitting her brows. It was then she realized he had an extremely hostile air around him.

“Connor!” She took his face in her hands and fixed him with a stern look. “Listen to me. This is Mommy’s business, okay? Mommy will handle this matter myself. I don’t need you to help me nor are you allowed to aid me from afar. Do you understand me?”

She had always been aware of Connor’s high intelligence, which led to him maturing a lot faster. However, that did not mean that his mind was that of an adult’s just yet. She did not want him to experience the darker side of being an adult at such a young age. That would be incredibly detrimental to his mental health and growth.

In fact, she was even beginning to regret having him investigate who the boss of Jasminum was. Thankfully, she had discovered his less-than-healthy mindset now. She would have to refrain from making a similar mistake in the future.

Connor did not know what his mother was thinking about to make her so angry. Nevertheless, he nodded obediently since he did not want to piss her off further. “I understand, Mommy!”
