David looked at Lilith and remembered that she had once been Jasmine's closest friend . Back then , Lilith had fiercely opposed Jasmine marrying David . She had said publicly that David could never bring Jasmine happiness . Shame twisted in David's chest . Everything Lilith said had come true . If … if Jasmine had only listened to her , would she still be alive ? Lilith stared coldly at everyone in the room . In her eyes , they were all complicit , every one of them had played a part in Jasmine's death . " I'm Jasmine's legal representative . Jasmine passed away at two minutes past nine at hight on October 15th from acute liver failure , worsened by drug interactions that caused rapid organ failure . Before her death , she authorized me to activate all agreements from the moment of her passing . " Emma's heart skipped a beat . " All company , stock , and property transfer agreements signed by Jasmine prior to her death were not of her true intent . They were revoked within the stipulated deadline . All previous documents are now void . " Lilith's eyes locked onto Emma as she read each word with deliberate precision . " What ? Jasmine was playing me ?! " Emma suddenly shouted . The outburst startled the others . Feeling their judgmental stares , Emma forced herself to calm down and gave a strained smile . " I mean … those things were transferred because Mom and Dad wanted Jasmine to do it . Isn't canceling them going against their wishes ? " Her voice wavered more and more as she spoke , because Lilith was watching her with thinly veiled contempt . Without a word , Lilith turned on Jasmine's phone and projected the chat history onto the screen for everyone to see . " Some truths must be seen clearly . Jasmine must not die in vain . " " What do you mean ? Jasmine's death wasn't just organ failure ? " Cold sweat formed on Emma's forehead . The screen began scrolling through messages between Emma and Jasmine . [ Jasmine , you lost . Your husband and child are mine now . ] [ Don't think you can disappear and I'll be powerless . I'll take everything from you . Even your treatment spot . I just sweet - talked them a bit and they gave it to me . Just die already . ] [ You trash . You dared to trick me . Why are all those agreements void now ? ] 1/2 Chapter 8 +25 Bonus [ Just wait . I'll tell Mom and Dad . They'll back me up . ] [ Jasmine , crawl out already . You'd better die out there and never come back . ] Dozens of venomous curses . " You … you actually … " Marlene was so furious that she could not finish her sentence . Just then , the office door burst open . " Well , well . All of you are here . " A man walked in , eyes cold , lips curled in a sneer . " I'm Emma's biological father . Since everyone's here , how about I tell you what your precious daughter is really like ? " Emma's face turned ghostly pale . She jumped to her feet . " No ! Don't listen to him ! He's lying !" She rushed forward like a madwoman , but Lilith blocked her with one arm . The man let out a mocking laugh , completely ignoring her struggles . " I told you : if I didn't see the money in three days , I'd spill every dirty secret of yours . You really believed she was some abandoned , pitiful orphan ? Don't kid yourselves . " I personally sent her to the orphanage . The whole point was to make her look helpless so that you ' kind - hearted ' people would adopt her . " After she got into your family and gained your trust , she handed over most of the money she tricked you into giving her to me . " And one more thing … your daughter Jasmine ? She died because of her . " She was diagnosed with early - stage liver cancer and couldn't stand seeing Jasmine healthy . So she secretly poisoned her , causing acute liver failure . " Emma's whole body trembled . Her face went ashen , her teeth chattered , and she could not utter a single word . It was over . She knew … everything was over .
