Asher regretted it.
Before he saw those paparazzi reports accusing Jennifer of infidelity, he was certain the Clark family would never forgive Jennifer. And the engagement would be called off.
Asher was so mad that he made a
hasty decision, locking Jennifer in the basement.

But who would know that Timothy forgave Jennifer so quickly and started defending her?

“Mr. Clark, when Jennifer returned to Hargreaves Villa that day, she was out of her mind.
“She held a gun, threatening everyone. She even burned Sarah’s clothes. I had no choice but to act to protect my family.”
Sarah cut in, “Yeah! Jennifer came back in a blind rage. I thought she’d been kicked out by your family, Mr. Clark. So she looked so upset.
“She pointed the gun at us. Asher had to step in to keep us safe.”
Asher thought Sarah was saying the right thing.
He quickly added, “Exactly! I was only trying to stop her from doing something

she’d regret, like hurting someone, or worse, hurting herself.”
Jennifer looked cold as her family kept speaking ill of her.

Asher looked at her. “Jennifer, when that incident happened, you gotta believe I was worried about you, really.
Sarah nodded and continued, “Jennifer, Asher did it all for your own good. I mean, he even locked me in that dark basement too for days just to avenge you. It can be even, right?”
Asher breathed a sigh of relief. Sarah always knew how to smooth things over.
“Even?”

A flicker of mockery danced in Jennifer’s eyes as she thought, “So, in Asher’s mind, it’s even now now? If I hadn’t agreed to let Sarah take my place for my engagement
to Timothy, I would still be rotting in that basement.”
Sarah stayed at the basement before because Jennifer offered this deal.
Jennifer thought, “If I remained the obedient sister I used to be, I’d still be the one suffering.”
Asher, still trying to sound reasonable, nodded. “Exactly. It’s even. Sarah was punished, and you got your revenge. Everyone got what they deserved.”
“Jennifer,” Sarah continued, “I know you think the family always favors me, but

Asher locked me in the basement, too. You can’t say he’s biased now, can you?”

With her words hanging in the air, Sarah shifted her attention to Timothy.
“Mr. Clark, maybe Jennifer hasn’t told you about the whole story. But trust me, Asher never meant to lock Jennifer like that. It wasn’t intentional.”
Dylan echoed, “Mr. Clark, Jennifer has a long history of lying and making trouble just to get attention. Don’t trust her words. She only says what benefits her.”
Jennifer’s heart grew cold as her brothers‘ words twisted the fact.
They were masters of manipulation, twisting the truth to suit their needs.

Chapter 265 Twisting the Truth. She completely lost hope in them. Taking back everything of hers wouldn’t be a burden anymore.
Timothy turned to Jennifer. “So, it seems I misunderstood something.”
Jennifer’s heart sank, and she thought, “Did Timothy really buy their lies?”
She recalled the old memories. Such a scene happened many times before.
Every time it happened, her brothers and Sarah would tell others she liked lying and throwing a tantrum.
Sarah, sensing victory, continued, “Mr. Clark, it was all just a misunderstanding, but we’ve cleared it up now.

Sarah shot a smug look at Jennifer. She thought, “Bitch, no matter how hard try, I can always walk over you. One day, I’ll totally destroy you.”
Asher nodded eagerly. “Yes. We’re family. Better to clear things up now.‘”
Dylan glared at Jennifer and scoffed, “In the future, don’t say anything to Mr. Clark that might damage our family’s relationship. It won’t do you any good, Jennifer. Remember your place.”
Dylan then picked up a glass of champagne from the nearby table and shoved it into Jennifer’s hand. “Drink this, and let it slide. We’re still family, after all.”
Chapter 265 Twisting the Truth – Jennifer looked down at the glass and back up at Dylan. With a deliberate motion, she raised the glass and poured the champagne over Dylan’s head.
The room fell deathly quiet.

Dylan’s face flushed crimson as he gaped at her in fury. “Jennifer! What the hell are you doing?” he yelled.
“Can’t you see it? I’m insulting you.”
Jennifer’s expression remained stone–cold, and her eyes were icy.
