Chapter 80

Hearing Jasmine's words, Charlene suddenly snapped back to reality.

Just the day before, she had fallen, and he hadn't bothered to help her stand up. She was injured, but he acted as if it was none of his business, His indifference could only mean he didn't care about her, or perhaps he was worried about upsetting Vesta.

Vesta's thoughts and feelings must be paramount to him, right?

Whether she lived or died seemed utterly inconsequential to him. Otherwise, why would he have reacted so indifferently to her fall and injury? While thinking this, Charlene's expression turned cold, and Thorne beat her to it as she was about to decline the call.

"Ask your mom."

Upon hearing that, Jasmine asked Charlene, "Mommy, Dad's asking if you want to talk to him over the phone." Charlene pursed her lips and stated plainly, "No need. Mommy's busy."

"Oh..." Jasmine told Thorne, "Dad, Mommy said no."
