" Then he tossed a thick stack of documents to Jasmine's parents . Inside were records of all the terrible things Emma had done behind their backs . After reading them , Thomas threw the documents at Emma with trembling hands and reddened eyes . He raised his hand , wanting to strike her . Lilith stepped in and stopped the old man . " I've already called the police . She'll be investigated for attempted murder . " Thomas broke down in sobs . Emma had taken advantage of Jasmine's kind heart from a young age and slowly stole everything from her . Not only had he and the rest of the family failed to see through Emma's schemes , but they enabled her every move , too . It turned out Emma had gone so far as to poison Jasmine in cold blood . They did not even get to see their daughter before she died . Thomas clutched at his hair in anguish and collapsed to the ground , devastated beyond words . David stared blankly at the will in his hands .
