Panicked at the thoughts, Jasmine stepped forward with her clenched fists and protested, “Shane, you can’t do this to me. Five years ago, you said you would give me everything I wanted, but now…”

The man interrupted her, leaning back against his chair. “Yes, I said that because you saved my life. But I’ve done more than enough to repay you. Recently, everything you do crosses the limits, and I can’t tolerate you any longer. Do you understand?”

“I…” Jasmine’s lips moved, but her voice was stuck in her throat.

Standing in front of the door, Natalie furrowed her beautiful brows in suspicion.
