Chapter 365 Gaslighting?
Jennifer took one look at Millie’s expression and stepped aside, making way for her.
Millie stormed into the police station, her frustration palpable.
Jennifer turned back to Asher, a smirk playing on her lips. “So, the Clark family is calling off the engagement, huh? Looks like the Hargreaves family is heading for bankruptcy soon, too.”
Asher’s face went pale, his anger evident. “Are you happy now?”
Jennifer raised an eyebrow, almost laughing. “Happy? Don’t be ridiculous. You’ve got it all wrong. This mess? It’s Sarah’s doing,
not mine.”
Yes, it was their precious little Sarah, the one they’d been protecting and doting on all these years.
Asher scowled. “You’ve always wanted to break off the engagement with the Clark family, right? And now it’s finally happening. You’ve been waiting for our family to crumble, haven’t you?”
He gave Jennifer a piercing look. “I’ve never understood why hate us so much. Why do you want to destroy us? Do you even realize how much damage you have done to our family?”

Jennifer’s voice was cool and cutting. “So now you’re blaming me because I stopped letting you all use me? Because I refused to keep playing along with your manipulation? That’s what you’re saying?”
“As long as you kept being obedient and played nice with the Clark family, this whole mess could’ve been avoided,” Asher said, his frustration growing.
He really regretted how things had gone.
If only he’d reconciled with Jennifer when she first left home… maybe none of this would’ve spiraled out of control.
None of it would have happened, from locking Jennifer in the basement, to the whole fiasco at Kinglet Villa, or the issues with
the research institute.
All of this, every single problem, started with Jennifer wanting to break off her engagement to Timothy.
“But why should I keep being used by you?” Jennifer’s voice was cold.
Asher’s tone was dismissive. “You were just doing your part for the family. What do you mean, ‘used‘? The Hargreaves family wouldn’t be in this mess if it weren’t for you.”
Jennifer met his gaze with a chilling expression. “If you care so much about the Hargreaves family’s future, maybe you

should’ve worked harder to maintain your relationship with the Clark family. But now? Sarah has gone behind your back, planning to blackmail you over that injury on her neck. She’s going to demand compensation.”
Jennifer had a pretty good sense of what was going on with Sarah.
3/5
It wasn’t hard to guess. Sarah probably wanted some assurance, especially since her appearance had been permanently scarred.
Now, she was stabbing Asher and Dylan in the back, testing whether the so–called “family” would let her get away with it.
Jennifer crossed her arms. “The person you need to focus on right now is Sarah, not me.”
Asher’s face darkened, rage bubbling over. “You’re still involved in this, aren’t you? If you hadn’t made Sarah’s injury so serious, she wouldn’t have gone against the Hargreaves family and called the police.”
Asher knew that Sarah’s decision to call the police was directly tied to the injury on her neck.
He’d been so wrapped up in his own troubles, he thought Dylan had smoothed things over with Sarah. But instead, Sarah had gone straight to the authorities.
If this blew up, the fallout would drag both the Hargreaves and Clark families down with it.

4/5
Asher was furious, but he knew he had no choice. He stormed into the police station, hoping to convince Sarah to keep quiet.
After all, if the situation escalated any further, there’d be no turning back.
Jennifer, however, wasn’t going anywhere. This was a show she wasn’t going to miss.
Who knew what new twists Sarah would add to the story? Jennifer was ready to call out the lies, should they come up.
A short while later, Sarah walked out of the interrogation room, but Millie hadn’t followed her yet.
Asher turned to Sarah, his voice clipped. “So, what exactly do you want?”
Sarah pointed at the scar on her neck. “I didn’t want this to happen either, but I need to secure my future somehow.”
Asher’s expression darkened. “So, this is how you plan to solve your problems? Have we really mistreated you? Haven’t we done enough to care for you?”
He couldn’t quite grasp what Sarah had said.
“Look, Asher. I know you think you’ve treated me well, but I’ve never been your real sister. Every time something bad happens, I’m the one who gets sacrificed. And look at me now. Everything’s falling apart. I have to think about myself for once.’”

Inwardly, Sarah scoffed. She wasn’t naive. She knew
the Hargreaves family had ignored her pain and never
acknowledged her suffering.

Asher’s anger flared. “You can think about yourself, but
could’ve talked to Dylan or even me. Why did you call the cops? Do you really have so little regard for us?”
