When She Stops Playing Nice by Hale Saxon

Chapter 435

Detergent? Ashley was utterly shocked. No wonder she felt so much foarn when she drank the tonic. She felt nauseous, even imagining that she might vomit bubbles.

Upon hearing the test results, Gina scoffed. “If I truly wanted to poison you, I wouldn’t use detergent.” She considered it beneath he to use such a low grade substance that wasn’t even poisonous. If she wanted to harm someone covertly, she know many more effective methods. However, she wasn’t one to harm innocent people indiscriminately. Those who deserved punishment according to the law were her priority.

Ashley gripped the blanket tightly. Detergent could only have been added during the brewing process. Did their s e r a n t have the audacity to tamper with her tonic? Or was it accidentally mixed in?

After Gina informed Ashley about Harry’s detention, she left immediately. Ashley promptly summoned the household s r v a n t to the hospital. As soon as the s v a n t arrived, Ashley didn’t hesitate to slap them. “You b**h”

The t w as startled by Ashley’s anger and covered their face, looking aggrieved. “Miss Jackson, what’s wrong? What did I do wrong? I don’t

understand. Please, tell me.”

“You dare to add detergent to my tonic? Or maybe you handled my herbs without properly washing your hands, causing me to get gastric lavage. How dare you say you don’t know what you did wrong!”

The se r a n t looked particularly aggrieved. “Miss Jackson, I didn’t do that. I washed my hands thoroughly and wore gloves while handling the herbs. How could detergent have ended up in there? Isn’t there surveillance in the kitchen? Let’s check the footage. Then we’ll know what happened, right!”

Right, there’s surveillance in the kitchen! Ashley had been so angry that she had forgotten about it. She immediately took out her phone to check the footage. The surveillance footage showed Jasmine holding a detergent bottle and hastily pouring it into the medicine jar.

Ashley’s eyes widened as she watched the scene. She couldn’t believe that Jasmine, whom she had once considered as a sister-in-law, would do something so outrageous. She felt betrayed Ashley was furious. She had to go to the Bush family immediately to demand an explanation from Jasmine. Ashley headed straight to the Bush family, changing into fresh clothes

Jabari was sitting in the living room when he saw Ashley arrive, looking somewhat surprised. “Ashley, what brings you here?”

Ashley’s face turned ashen. “What, can’t I come?””

Jabari felt a bit awkward. He didn’t understand why Ashley seemed so furious. “Of course not, please have a seat.”

“No need. Where’s Jasmine? Bring her out to see me,” Ashley demanded.

Given their previously good relationship, Jabari still thought Ashley was here to visit Jasmine. “She’s in her room. Let me call her for you,” Jabari offered.

Jabari went upstairs and unlocked Jasmine’s room, Jasmine was surprised to see the door open and glanced at Jabari. Irritated, she asked, “What’s going on? I thought I was supposed to be confined here until Gina and Gabriel’s engagement banquet was over.”

Jabari couldn’t be bothered with explanations. “Ashley is here to see you. Come down and talk to her,” he said curtly. Deep down, Jabari was also concerned that keeping Jasmine confined in her room might lead to problems. Occasionally, it was necessary to let her out for a walk.

At this moment, Jasmine had a bad feeling. She didn’t want to meet Ashley. “No, please tell Ashley I’m not feeling well and can’t chat with her,” she said, pretending to lie on the bed.

Jabari felt that Jasmine was acting strangely. “Are you not feeling well? The doctor came yesterday and checked on you. He said everything was fine. Why are you suddenly unwell?”

Jasmine became impatient. “I just suddenly feel unwell, is that not allowed? Didn’t you want me to stay in my room, be quiet, and behave myself, not going anywhere? Now that I’m obedient, are you still not satisfied? Jabari Bush, what exactly do you want from me? Are you trying to drive me crazy? Are you even my brother anymore?”

After being confronted by Jasmine, Jabar suddenly found himself at a loss for words. Aher silence, he continued, “if you’re not feeling well, I’ll have a

“I don’t need to; there’s no need. Anyway, I don’t want to live anymore. Just let me stay here quietly and let fate take its course!” Jasmine became increasingly distressed as she spoke. These were her true feelings. Being confined to her room, she couldn’t sleep through the night. Whenever she thought about Gabriel getting engaged to Gina soon, she couldn’t focus on anything else. She sat on her bed crying until late at night, feeling like she was crying her eyes out!

Jabari looked at Jasmine’s helpless appearance and couldn’t help but feel frustrated. “Jasmine, can’t you have some dignity? Are you going to be so desperate over a man?”

“Gabriel isn’t just any man. He’s exceptional, one of a kind. There’s no one else like Gabriel Jackson in this world!”

Jabari was tired of arguing with Jasmine, knowing he couldn’t convince her “Do whatever you want,” he said resignedly. He then planned to lock the door again and leave.

However, Jabari turned around and saw Ashley coming up. “Ashley, I’m sorry, Jasmine isn’t feeling well, she…” Jabari’s words were interrupted by Ashley. “Not feeling well?” She scoffed. “It’s me who’s not feeling well, not her!”

After saying that, Ashley barged into Jasmine’s room without hesitation. Startled, Jasmine greeted her with a hint of guilt. “Ashley, you’re here. I’m sorry. I’m feeling a bit dizzy and can’t keep you company. Can we reschedule another time?”

Without a word, Ashley slapped Jasmine as soon as she approached, causing Jasmine to fall onto the bed. Despite knowing that Ashley likely discovered her tampering with the tonic, Jasmine still pretended to be innocent. “Ashley, what are you doing?”

Seeing his sister being hit shocked Jabari, but he quickly regained his composure and stepped forward, shielding Jasmine behind him. Despite Jasmine’s misguided actions and flawed character due to infatuation, she was still his sister. No one dared to lay a hand on her in their family, and Jabari wouldn’t allow Ashley to do so either. “Ashley, what are you doing?! Everything was fine. Why are you hitting her?”
