Rebirth: Revenge of the abandoned heirress-Chapter 14: Lone rose.

On her way to her apartment, Jazmine stopped by her mother's tomb. She had brought a fresh bouquet of flowers along with her.

"Mother, thanks for granting me a second chance. I know you've always been watching over me. This time, I'll not disappoint you. I'll get back at all of those who treated you badly. I'll not spare a single one of them. I'll make you proud of me, mother."

Jazmine bent to place the bouquet.

However...

She was surprised when she noticed a fresh rose flower resting silently on her mother's tomb.

Jazmine picked it up.

'It is fresh... Not plucked out an hour ago. Someone had visited my mother? But who else in this world would miss my mother other than me?'

She glanced around, but with the diameter of several meters, not a single silhouette could be found.

Jazmine arrived at her apartment at 6 p.m.

She took a bath and prepared something for dinner.

Putting her hair into a bun and changing into a comfortable T-shirt and pajamas, she took out some documents and started studying them, sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She had lost track of time while going through the files until a loud ringtone brought her back to her senses.

Jazmine glanced at her phone, placed over the coffee table.

She recognized the number.

Her lips curled up into a lopsided smile. She put the phone on silence and went back to studying the documents.

However, the person on the other side was persistent.

The person didn't give up even after ten ring bells.

Nevertheless, Jazmine was unperturbed.

After leisurely finishing up reading the documents, Jazmine yawned and lazily picked up her phone.

The ring bell was still going on.

"So persistent..." She picked up the call.

"Jazmine, why the fuck did you take so long to pick up? Is it because of David? Now that you have married David, do you think that you can act so arrogantly in front of me? We both know that David cherishes your little sister. If not for your grandfather, do you think he would have given you a second glance?"

After having to wait for so long for Jazmine to pick up, the person on the other line was already on edge.

Jazmine kept silent for a long time.

"Hello...? Jazmine, are you there?"

"Hello...?"

"Is there anyone...?"

"What is the purpose of your call?" Jazmine's serene and cool voice flowed from the other side.

"You...! You have always been there, haven't you? Do you like to provoke your elders on purpose? Forget it. It is your upbringing. We can't blame you... But no matter how much you hate me, you still have to respect me! I'm at the place of your mother."

When Jazmine didn't say anything, Scarlette James fumed.

"You have grown quite bold. That is the reason your father dislikes you. You are his own blood; why would he hate you like this? If you could work on your attitude, he might end up having a change of heart. For your sake, I have been trying to convince him... But when you treat me like this, how am I supposed to keep talking in your favor in front of him?" Scarlette used her trump card.

After all, Jazmine's father's dislike towards her used to be a sensitive topic for her.

At that point, Jazmine would always yield to Scarlette.

'As if... You would never say anything good about me in front of him. You would rather eat poison than do that.' Jazmine silently wondered. 'Too bad. In my past life, I used to fall for your words. In order to have a chance to reconcile with my father, I used to degrade myself to please you. But Scarlette... I now know your true colors.'

'As for my so-called father... I do not even care for him anymore...'

"I'm already not hanging up on you. That is far more respect than you deserve. Please state the purpose of your call, or I might just hang up." Jazmine was fed up with her.

Scarlette was startled at the response.

"You... Do you not even care for your father after you have married David?"

"Still not stating the purpose behind your call...? Fine... I'm hanging up."

"Wait!" Scarlette took deep breaths to calm herself.

"I have called you to inform you that I have contacted the producer of a famous reality show and reached an agreement. She agreed to do this program after my relentless convincing. Jazmine, you might not be considerate of us, but you are still a part of the family, and we have to look after you."

"Sophia had decided to stream you in the second season of 'Rising Stars'."

"Jazmine... this will be a great opportunity for you. Your reputation has not been very good in the social circle. After this show, you might actually bring a change to that."

Scarlette tried her best to make herself sound like she was doing it to help Jazmine.

To make sure Jazmine didn't grow suspicious, Scarlette said, "Since your reputation is associated with the family, if you clear your name, it would be best for my Rosaline. That's all."

Her reasons felt convincing enough.

However...

Jazmine knew the truth.

"Sure, I'll come." With a smile, she said. Without waiting for a response from Scarlette, she ended the call.

"Wench!" Scarlette felt a rush of anger at having the call being hung up on her. But a second later, she laughed. "That doesn't matter. She is stupid in the end to have trusted me so easily- Salvage your reputation? Dream on! I will only bring it to the point of no return. To the point where... You can no longer compare to my Rosaline!"
