Chapter 326 - Doesn't Matter
Keenan invited his father and mother to talk privately in the workspace, while Jasmine remained in the living room with Keyra. he deliberately didn\'t invite Jasmine because she was ashamed of her family status, especially her mother\'s behavior, who had sold her to Marco and then sold her to Keenan.
Now, Keenan is sitting on a white sofa which is located in Ethan\'s spacious workspace, there are three large cupboards, a work desk, a set of sofas with a table with red flowers in a vase.
Luna and Ethan sat side by side while glancing at Keenan who promised a confession about the Jasmine family. The two middle-aged couples were intrigued by their son who chose to discuss this matter in private without inviting Jasmine.
"Mom, Dad, I hope that by knowing who Jasmine is, mom and dad won\'t stop us from getting married," said Keenan with a meaningful look. He lowered his knees to support his arms.
"Just say it, Keenan. Don\'t you understand in our family we never judge someone by their social status? Then don\'t worry about the decision we\'ve made, it won\'t change even if we know who the real Jasmine is." Ethan tried to reassure, then glanced at Luna.
"Yeah, Kenaan.. because if you\'re determined with your choice of Jasmine, mommy has no right to forbid. You are the one who will establish the household ark, so we as parents are obliged to give our blessing." Luna emphasized, making sure that Keenan no longer hesitated.
"Jasmine, she is the daughter of a pimp. She also almost became a victim of her mother. I helped her when she was chased by her mother\'s thugs," said Keenan slowly starting to explain. he looked down at the flowers that were beautifully placed in a yellowish cream-colored ceramic vase with leaf-like motifs.
"I took her to the apartment because when I asked her where her house was, she said he didn\'t want to go home because she was afraid of her mother. She slowly admits that her mother will sell it to a married man named Marco. She will be made a mistress after her mother receives 500 million rupiah money." Keenan told the story while imagining where Jasmine was crying after having dinner with him at the apartment.
"She will be sold by his mother?" Luna looked disbelieving since she had been listening very seriously, so was Ethan who was also serious and looking for a bright spot on this matter.
Keenan raised his head again looking at his mother and father." She\'s been sold, maybe yesterday if I didn\'t help her, she\'s already the mistress of that damn Marco," he said saltily.
"Then what have you done to help her apart from hiding her in the apartment?" asked Ethan with a probing look, he remembered yesterday Keenan left very early without saying goodbye and there was a report from the bank regarding Keenan\'s sudden large spending that morning.
"I redeemed it, dad. I used the money from the facilities that you had given me..sorry for being presumptuous, I don\'t know what to do, because that\'s the only way she can be free to leave her mother who is crazy about money," explained Keenan with a little guilt for spending a lot of money without asking his father\'s permission.
Ethan sighed. "Daddy appreciates your helpful attitude regardless of status, but one billion is a lot of money. Daddy is also worried that the woman will continue to ask if given a lot of money because she is greedy...It\'s not that daddy is stingy, but that much money is better than given to a pimp, it is better to give it to the needy."
"Honey, but Keenan did that out of urgency," said Luna, who disagreed with Ethan.
"That woman will only take advantage of Keenan. If we don\'t stop her, she\'ll just get worse," Ethan said casually. "You have to find a weak spot in her. so, she doesn\'t blackmail you just because you married her daughter," he exclaimed.
"Point of weakness?" Keenan looked at his father as if he didn\'t mean it.
"Think about it, what would make her afraid to ask for money, but still approve of your relationship with Jasmine," Ethan exclaimed with a casual smile, he wanted his son to think smarter.
"Just report it to the police, because she\'s a pimp and I\'m sure she also sells underage girls," Luna said angrily imagining about Jasmine\'s mother.
"No way, Mom. I feel bad for Jasmine because I see she also loves her mother," Keenan replied angrily.
"It\'s okay to bluff. Because Daddy believes, Jasmine is also embarrassed if her mother keeps asking for money," said Ethan and then got up from the sofa. He walked to his desk and took something out of the drawer.
Keenan and Luna watched what Ethan was doing. Ethan went back to them and sat on the sofa, then gave a business card to Keenan.
"Because daddy is lazy to negotiate with the pimp, just take Daniel, he is uncle Richard\'s son. the day after tomorrow he will come and become a confidant in our company or family," said Ethan casually then leaned back while putting his hand on Luna\'s shoulder.
"Daniel?" Keenan seemed unfamiliar with that name.
"He\'s good at trapping someone, let alone just to frame Jashmine\'s mother, it must have been very easy for him," Ethan explained.
Luna just nodded in understanding and agreed to Ethan\'s plan.
Keenan didn\'t move while rubbing his chin which was covered with a thin beard, as if he was thinking about something. Yes, he\'s getting more and more intense to investigate what Marta is
"Dad. I\'m not sure if that woman is Jasmine\'s mother," said Keenan finally expressing his doubts.
"Why are you not sure?" asked Ethan, furrowing his brows.
"Because she doesn\'t look like Jasmine," Keenan replied.
Instantly Ethan and Luna chuckled, they thought what Keenan said was a joke.
"Not all daughters have to look like their mothers, you are nothing." Luna glanced anxiously at the overly ambitious Keenan.
"But, Mom. I also didn\'t see the affection in the woman\'s eyes for Jasmine, sounding like a stepmother. She even sold Jasmine without any objections, unhesitatingly let go when I was about to take her away from the house." Keenan seems adamant about his opinion, especially since yesterday he had the chance to meet his father\'s client who looks a lot like Jasmine.
Ethan nodded his head while rubbing his chin which was also a short beard. "You can invite Daniel to investigate that too," he exclaimed.
"Okay." Keenan nodded, then remembered the original purpose of this conversation.
"So, mom and dad aren\'t angry or objected to making Jasmine a daughter-in-law, even though she\'s a pimp\'s daughter?" .asked Keenan enthusiastically.
"No problem, the important thing is not Jasmine the pimp," replied Ethan then glanced at Luna. "Is that so, Mom?"
"Yes, mommy still agrees. Because Jasmine looks very innocent and pure," replied Luna with a smile and nodded.
"You guys are the best." Keenan immediately got up from the sofa and walked over to his mother, then hugged her.
"If you are married, never ignore her. Or she will feel alone, you must always be a passion for her..your future wife is a poor girl, you have to make her happy and get rid of the bad impression in her life," said Luna while rubbing Keenan\'s shoulder, she didn\'t think the baby she was breastfeeding would now have a wife.
Keenan immediately released his arms to his mother. "Mommy calms down, I will never hurt her like daddy never hurt mommy." Keenan glanced at his father.
Ethan felt like he was hit by a boulder on his head, Keenan\'s words were far from the truth. because in fact, he hurt Luna a lot, but let it all be a secret between him and Luna, so that his son doesn\'t imitate him.
After the conversation, Ethan and Luna immediately invited Jasmine to have lunch together. until the afternoon, Jasmine with Keenan, and Keyra chatted with each other and exchanged stories while enjoying snacks. Even when Kevin came, Jasmine ended up being the subject of temptation from Kevin\'s mischievous actions, who liked that he would get a sister-in-law who was innocent and not over-makeup.
