Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother novel Chapter 576

And larceny was a crime, punishable by law. If it was the first option, she must have purchased the bracelet before I even saw it. Why did she make a post about it right when Colin bought the bracelet but couldn't give it? And she captioned it that way to sow discord between him and me.

Knowing what Jasmine had done previously, I was more inclined to believe that she did it on purpose. I couldn't figure out the answer, so I stopped speculating alone. I decided to call Colin.

After that fateful night, we made a deal that no matter what happened, we had to be open to each other. We should avoid misunderstandings that arose from the lack of communication. We were not letting any trivial misunderstanding destroy our bond like I had read so much in novels.

The call went through. The robotic beep echoed for 39 seconds. Before I hung up in disappointment, someone picked it up.

It wasn't Colin, however, but his colleague who had been working on the same project. His colleague knew about me and told me that Colin left in a hurry half an hour ago. He was in such a rush that he forgot his phone and didn't tell anyone where he was going.

Where could Colin be? With Jasmine, of course. He must have seen Jasmine's social media post and decided to confront her.

To make sure that they couldn't meet each other in private and to get to the bottom of the whole thing sooner, I dropped the plan to paint in Crystal House. I hailed a cab and went to the rehab center. When I arrived at Jasmine's ward in labored breath, something dramatic was unfolding inside.

I came at a great time.

"Ms. Taylor, please don't change the topic. This has nothing to do with Lulu. I just want to know how you got the bracelet and why you posted it online. And lastly, you graduated from Lincoln University. I'm sure you know how heavy the punishment is for thievery."

I nodded approvingly. That was my man, all right. He was the upholder of justice.

Jasmine broke down in tears. "You can't say that, Colin. I bought the bracelet. Several days ago, I had my physiotherapy. My legs hurt so much that Lorraine pushed me outside for a quick stroll. There were new arrivals in the shop, and I fell in love with the bracelet right away. So, I bought it."
