It was Jasmine who walked in. She was pregnant but still dressed in something pretty revealing, with high heels
on, dolled up to the nines.
Jason's eyes flickered as he suppressed the hatred and showed a gentle smile. "Jasmine, you're here."
After the illusion faded, all he felt for Jasmine was disgust. Seeing how she was dressed, he realized he'd been
blind as a bat before.
Jasmine originally wanted to see Jason earlier, but she bumped into a friend who took her to a hotel. Since
getting pregnant, she hadn't allowed herself to indulge much, so this little escape felt incredibly satisfying. She
looked at Jason with feigned sympathy and concern. "Jason, I'm sorry for coming to see you so late. | was really
upset
you sooner." when | heard about your accident and couldn't work up the courage to visit
"It's okay. | know my legs won't recover and I'll be disabled. But for you and the baby you're expecting, I've
transferred my shares to Jennifer.
"She's gonna take care of you and the baby. That's the deal she's got with the shares. On the 15th of every
month, when the company's funds are deposited, you can go get half of the money from her." Jason thought,
‘Jasmine, | may be foolish, but my love for you is sincere and true.
I've maintained a clear conscience, both to the heavens above and to you.
You never should have. You really never should have draggedinto this mess. Now | want revenge.
‘Neither Jennifer nor you, nor Nick should expect things to be easy.
Jasmine was very moved by these words, tears filled her eyes as she looked at Jason. He truly was a great choice
to be a stepfather, and she knew he would take responsibility until the end. Jasmine said, "Jason, you're so good
to me."
A flicker of resentment appeared in Jason's eyes. He thought to himself, ‘Jasmine, just wait. Let's see who has the
last laugh.

"Jasmine, you're carrying my child. Of course, | need to treat you right." He flashed a teasing look. Jasmine, brace
yourself. The real show is yet to come,’ thought Jason.
Jasmine excitedly flung herself into Jason's arms.
Jason felt disgusted. He had his people investigate Jasmine's past and found out that she had gone to a hotel
with another man before coming here.
Having been involved with this woman was truly revolting.
He gently pushed Jasmine away. "Jasmine, I'm going abroad for a few days. Remember to get the money from
Jennifer on the 15th of every month."
Jasmine sighed with relief, glad she wouldn't have to look after this cripple anymore.
Fortunately, he wanted to leave on his own, so she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of finding an excuse.
"Jason, take care of yourself while you're abroad. The baby and I will be right here, waiting for you. And don't you
forget to missevery single day." Jasmine feigned a sorrowful reluctance. "Absolutely, Jasmine, I'll miss you.
You take care too," Jason replied with a warm smile, but there was a cold glint in his eyes

that Jasmine, blinded by the allure of money, didn't catch.
Jason gave a slight nod without saying anything else.

Jasmine found the smell here unbearable. She said, "Jason, I'm pregnant, and the smell here makesfeel
queasy..."
"I know you're not feeling well, so just head back. I'm leaving tomorrow. Take good care of yourself." Jason had a
slight smile in his eyes.
Jasmine nodded. "Alright! I'll see you off at the airport tomorrow" She had to keep up appearances.
"No need. My mom will send someone to drive me. Don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself and make
sure you deliver a strong, healthy boy for me. My future's riding on my son," Jason said seriously. Jasmine felt a
wave of relief, thinking, "This fool is eager to raise a son for me. It makesso happy!
"Alright then, Jason. I'll be waiting for you to cback." With that, Jasmine left, thinking it was Jason's luck to
raise a kid for her.
Jasmine was overjoyed as she left, smiling broadly.
Jason gazed at her with eyes that were chillingly merciless.
After Jasmine left, he called Wendy.
Half an hour later, Wendy arrived at the hospital.
Wendy looked at Jason's weary face, her eyes brimming with concern and compassion. Despite his rebellious
streak, he was still her own flesh and blood.
He was her firstborn, and she just couldn't stand to see him keep doing something foolish.
She asked, looking weary, "Why did you call me?"
Jason apologized, "Mom, I'm sorry. | was really out of my mind before. In the future, I'll be better and won't make
you sad anymore. Please don't sendabroad, okay?
"I'll find a place to keep a low profile for now and focus on learning how to manage the company and how to be a
better person. You're all alone right now, and | want to stay by your side and help you."
His voice was sincere, brimming with hope as he looked at Wendy.
Wendy sneered, "It's too late. Do you know what | had to sacrifice for those 5% shares? Your grandpa sold an
apartment so | could fill that gap."
But she already had a plan in mind. She handed Jason a share transfer document. "I've thought of another way. If
you sign here, I'll be able to get those 5% shares back.
"If you agree to givethe shares, | won't send you abroad, and I'll let you get treatment here."

That was the reason she cto see Jason.
Jason said, "But I've already given that share transfer document to Dad."
"Jason." Wendy glared at him, her heart aching with a deep, unspoken pain. "I played you the recording before,
but you didn't believe it. Now your legs are paralyzed and you still think I'm not a trustworthy mom?" Wendy's
voice trembled. "Do you know your dad deliberately spoiled you to ruin your future?

"Do you know why | don't want you? Because you're as selfish as your dad."
Wendy, with teary eyes, bit her lip to hold back her anger as she went on, "Also, Jasmine has been partying and
clubbing since middle school. Natalie clearly told you this, but you refused to believe her.
"Three years ago, it was Natalie who saved you from the car wreck after your accident. Why do you trust Jennifer
and not Natalie?
"And while you were hanging out with Jasmine and her friends, Jennifer was studying hard. She's the best in our
family, making you guys look like background characters.
"Look at the rich kids your age. Take Murray, for example. He worked diligently, racing cars while earning dual
degrees from a college overseas. When he returned to the company, he instantly becthe CEO because he's
got the talent. "But what do you have? You don't know anything, being straightforward yet extremely selfish.
"Besides racing, what else do you have to brag about?
"When | told you to study well, you said | was controlling you every day. Later, | let you have your freedom
because | believed that our family's wealth handed down through generations would at least keep you from
going hungry.
"| thought this way, influenced by your dad's persuasion. Whenever | tried to discipline you, your dad would say,
'We aren't short on money. Let him live freely!"
"Jennifer would chin, 'Mom, Jason has his own dreams. Let him chase them.’
"But Jason, you've been living freely these past years, enjoying your passion for car racing. Do you really think
you've achieved freedom?"
