Chapter 8 David returned home looking like a shell of a person . He had numbed himself with alcohol . Betty did not dare approach him . She wanted to ask where her mother was , but deep down , she had a feeling that something bad had happened to Jasmine . She did not dare to think about it . She had not even had the chance to tell her mom she won first place in her dance competition . Betty held back her tears , watching as her father drank glass after glass . David tilted the bottle back , but it was empty . He blinked through a haze of drunkenness , swaying slightly with the bottle in his hand . Suddenly , the phone rang . He fumbled to pick it up . " This is Jasmine's legal representative . Please bring your identification . All family members are required to come to the law firm . Jasmine's will is to be read in the presence of all immediate family . " The cold female voice hung up without waiting for a reply . David quickly informed Jasmine's parents and Emma , who had just been discharged from the hospital . Meanwhile , Lilith sat in her office , looking through the documents Jasmine had entrusted her with . Inside was also a letter , asking her to handle Jasmine's affairs after her death . She picked up the phone and made a call . After hanging up , she composed herself , wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes , and stepped out of the office . David and the others had arrived . The woman trailing behind David was Emma . Lilith glanced at the group indifferently , motioned for them to enter the office , and began reading the contents of the will .
