Chapter 267 - Jasmine Argues With Her Father

"You are asking as though you did not see Mr Avans angry expression earlier. His expression showed that he was waiting to explode and who do you think he is going to explode on?" Kai asked while staring into Jackson's eyes. The moment Kai completed his sentence, Jackson recalled when Jeff and Steve told him that Mr Avans slapped Jasmine in their presence.

Goddamn it! Her old man is going to hurt her for disgracing him.

Jackson thought as he clenched his fist.

"After witnessing what you both did, do you think he will compliment her for a job well done?" Kai asked when he saw that Jackson was in deep thought.

"Just keep your mouth shut and think of how you are gonna explain what happened to your mum. I am sure she will get more furious than her old man if she learns about what happened," Jackson said before he hurried out of the house.

"He is just too proud for my liking," Kai muttered before he turned and left the house too. The moment they left the maids who have been hiding to avoid being spotted by Mr Avans surfaced.

"That was too intense and scary," One of the maids said before she returned to her post.

"I feel so bad for Young Miss, she is gonna get an earful today," Felicia muttered as she stare at the entrance.

Jasmine sitting in the middle of the two guards kept looking out through the window. When the car halted in front of her parents home, she heaved a sigh of relief. Just to make sure that she did not escape, the bodyguards followed her until she reached the sitting room where her mother was sitting reading a newspaper.

"Mum," Jasmine remarked as she went closer to where her mother was sitting. Mrs Avans was surprised to see Jasmine there. She could not mask her shock.

Seeing the bodyguards standing at the door she knew that Jasmine must have done something terrible which is why her father forcefully brought her back home.

"What did you do again to make your father upset? For how long are you gonna make your father upset each time you meet?" Mrs Avans said as she signalled Jasmine to sit beside her.

"Maybe he until he learns to stop being a dictator," Jasmine said as she sits beside her mother.

"What did you do today, tell me so that I will be able to defend you when he starts scolding you," Mrs Avans said ignoring her daughter's words.

"I had a...,"

"And who said you have the right to sit down after the stunts you pulled earlier?" Mr Avans angry voice filled the room. Maids who were hanging around on hearing his voice instantly disappeared from the sitting room. Even the executive assistant who followed Mr Avans into the room together excused himself.

Jasmine slowly stood up from where she sat. She shifted away from her mother. The moment Mr Avans reached where Jasmine was standing he slapped her hard on the right cheek without giving Jasmine any hints.

Mrs Avans was startled by the resounding slap her husband just gave Jasmine.

"I have wanted to give you this back in your house but I held myself until this moment," Mr Avans said as he glared at the quiet Jasmine who did not even caress her hurting cheek.

"Avans, Jasmine is a lady, you can't keep on slapping her on her face each time she makes a mistake," Mrs Avans intervened.

"You will stay out of this. This is between your daughter and me," Mr Avans said fiercely before Mrs Avans could speak again.

"And did you say she is a lady? If she is a lady then why is she not behaving like one? Why is she always out to ruin her life?" Mr Avans said as he glare at Jasmine.

"Are you perhaps ruining yourself because of that lowlife scum who is out there enjoying himself? Are you ruining your life and future just to get back at me for not agreeing to your marriage back then?" Mr Avans asked angrily.

"Why are you so foolish Jasmine, do you think by living this kind of lifestyle that he will come back to you after he cheated on you three days to your wedding?" Mr Avans asked showing no sign of calming down.

"Avans why are you bring up his name here?" Mrs Avans asked when she saw the change in Jasmine's mood at the mention of the past incidents.

"At least you know that you contributed most to why I am like this," Jasmine said in a cold tone as she raised her once lowered gaze.

"Even though so many years have passed and so many things have changed, father has not changed a little bit. You are still imposing your will on me just like in the past," Jasmine said in a more composed tone.

"What did you just say, Jasmine?" Mr Avans asked as though he did not hear all Jasmine said. Despite her mum signalling her not to talk anymore, Jasmine overlooked her warnings.

"Let me ask you a question father. Will you stop being a father if you don't force your daughters to do your will and forsake what they want?" Jasmine asked bracing herself for what will come next.

"How dare you say that about me," Mr Avans said as he raised his hand. Seeing that he wanted to hit her again, Jasmine quickly closed her eyes expecting to feel pains on the same spot he slapped her earlier but surprisingly she did not feel the intensity of his hand against her delicate skin.

Curious to see why he did not slap her again despite that she was certain he wanted to slap her, Jasmine slowly opened her eyes. She was stunned when on opening her eyes she saw someone holding onto her father's raised hand. On raising her head further she was even more astonished when she saw that the person protecting her was none other than Jackson.

How did he get in here and don't tell me he followed us into the lion's den?

Jasmine thought her focused on his stern but handsome face.

"And what the hell do you think you are doing here?" Mr Avans asked coldly, glaring at the gutsy guy who dares to stop him.
