"Jasmine Scott, have you made up your mind? As long as you go to see a big client tonight with me, I'll cover all the medical expenses for your paralyzed husband!"

"Furthermore, I can guarantee that you will be promoted."

In the corridor of Jasmine's house, Charlie Hall, who was dressed in a suit and looked exceptionally handsome, eyed up Jasmine in a formal dress.

Jasmine was a group leader of a department of Sky Group, while Charlie was the son of Elvin Hall, the general manager of Sky Group.

Charlie failed to win this big client over after more than half a month's effort, so he planned to ask Jasmine to give it a try.

Jasmine was generally accepted as a great beauty in the company. As long as she was willing, there was no way a man could resist her charm.

"Mr. Charlie, it's too late now. How about me going with you at working hours tomorrow?"

Wearing her hair in a bun, Jasmine had sharply outlined facial features. She looked like a perfect masterpiece from God.

However, a trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across her delicate face.

"Jasmine, there is need to play dumb now. Don't you know why I ask you to meet the client at this hour?"

"This customer is very important to our company. As long as you can handle him, not only will you have the money to treat your useless husband, but you will also have a bright future!"

"As long as you're willing, it's not impossible for you to become the proprietress of the client's company!"

Charlie said loudly, "Don't forget that your useless husband has been paralyzed for a year!"

"In the past year, in order to treat his illness, you have spent a lot of money. Have you cured him?"

"Mr. Charlie, can you keep your voice down? Xavier Hudson is inside!"

Jasmine reminded him with annoyance.

"Why should I keep my voice down? Why should I care about a disabled person at this point?"

Charlie's voice grew louder and louder. "Jasmine, I won't force you. It's up to you. If you go to meet the client with me, you'll get medical fees and a bright future. If you refuse me, you'll be fired and watch that cripple die because of the short of medical fees."

Hearing Charlie's analysis, Jasmine bit her lips tightly and clutched the corners of her clothes.

Her large charming eyes flashed with tears of grievance.

Right now, she was really helpless....

"What's your decision? Give me the answer as soon as you've decided!"

Charlie urged aggressively.

"I ... Mr. Charlie, you ... you must keep your promise...."

As she spoke, Jasmine hung her head. She bit her red lips tightly and shook her head.

Hearing Jasmine's reply, Charlie was excited. "Don't worry. I am a trustworthy person. I will continue to pay for your useless husband's medical expenses tomorrow."

"And I'll tell my dad to give you a promotion and a raise!"

After saying this, Charlie impatiently rubbed his hands and urged, "Go and prepare first. We'll set off right now!"

"Mr. Charlie, aren't ... we going to meet the customer? What should I prepare?"

"Since you're going to talk to the customer, you're definitely not coming back tonight. Do you want to bring your makeup bag? If you don't, then bring a few more stockings. It's a little windy outside. I'm afraid you'll get cold."

As Charlie spoke, he focused his gaze on Jasmine's legs wrapped in stockings.

Hearing it, Jasmine subconsciously took a few steps back. In order to protect herself, she crossed her arms around her chest.

She felt a strong sense of humiliation.

She felt that all of this was so disgusting!

How much she wanted to slap Charlie fiercely, and then called him a rogue!

However, her remaining rationality reminded her that she must not be impulsive.

Her husband was still paralyzed and needed a large sum of money for later treatment.

Although her husband was trash, in the legally speaking, they were a couple.

She couldn't just sit still.

Facing this excessive demand, she had no other choice!

No matter how desperate she was, she still had to agree, because this was the only way...

Footsteps came from the corridor. Jasmine's mother, Hana Dean appeared in front of them with a mask.

"Hello, Mr. Charlie. Hurry up and come into the living room! I'll make tea for you right now!"

Hana said enthusiastically.

She was very satisfied with Charlie.

In her eyes, Charlie was the most suitable for her daughter.

During this period of time, Hana had been looking for a boyfriend for her daughter. She couldn't let Xavier be a drag on Jasmine for the rest of her life.

"Hana, I just arrived. I have given Jasmine a chance to get a promotion and a salary increase. We are going to meet a client soon."

Charlie said politely, "Hana, you should rest early. I will send Jasmine back safely."

As Charlie spoke, Jasmine couldn't help but look at Hana for help.

Hana ignored Jasmine and said excitedly, "Mr. Charlie, no need to stand on ceremony with me. I feel reassured when Jasmine is with you."

After saying this, Hana directly pulled Jasmine aside and gave her a thousand.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"After meeting the client, don't come back tonight. Check in a hotel with this money. Take the initiative and try to win Mr. Charlie's favor."

Hana said seriously.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I am married!"

"What a silly child! Xavier has been paralyzed for a year. He is now crippled. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with a cripple and support him?"

"Charlie is nice to you, because he likes you. Mother is someone who has gone through it. Believe mom. He is very suitable for you!"

Jasmine sighed dejectedly. She didn't know how to reply and directly pushed open the door to Xavier's room.

Xavier's room was simple. There was only one bed and a few chairs.

Xavier had been lying on the bed for an entire year. Now his eyes were red and watery.

He heard what Charlie, Hana, and Jasmine talked about outside.

He didn't expect that Jasmine, who had always complained and mocked him, would pay so much for him!

He had been called a paralyzed man for a year.

Meanwhile, he had been taken as a good—for—nothing for eight years!

Even today, Xavier still remembered the cruel scene of his family being killed eight years ago.

In order to survive, he separated from his grandfather and parents.

In order to prevent Xavier from being discovered by his enemies, the special meridians in his body were blocked for eight years.

Ever since his meridians were blocked, Xavier, who was praised as a genius by the Hudsons, had become an ordinary person.

More precisely, he was inferior to ordinary people.

At first, he was able to take care of himself. But he was weak and sick, so he needed to take medicine frequently.

As the eight—year deadline approached, the side effects of blocked meridians became greater and greater.

He needed money to buy medicine to treat his illness. He coincidentally became the live—in son—in—law of the Scotts three years ago. Jasmine's father, Glendon Scott, was Xavier's attending doctor.

In the first two years, although Xavier was a little weak, he offered to do housework, such as to buy vegetables, cook, wash the dishes, and mop the floor....

However, in the last year, due to the side effects of the blocked meridians, he was paralyzed.

Today was the last day of the eight—year deadline.

After his meridians flew smoothly, he was still the once—in—a—century genius of the Hudson family!

Over the past eight years, he had suffered all kinds of insults.

He didn't want to hear anybody call him a cripple and a good—for—nothing!

He had to protect his wife, Jasmine, like a true man!

He wanted to avenge the Hudsons' suffering like a warrior!

Jasmine thought that Xavier was asleep, so she gently walked to the wardrobe and helplessly rummaged through the stockings.

"Are you ... really going?"

Xavier's voice rang out.

Hearing this voice, Jasmine trembled. She suddenly turned around and looked at the tearful Xavier.

"You heard everything?"

"Yes!"

"Listen to me. Don't go, okay? Charlie doesn't have good intentions."

Xavier said with concern.

"Do you think I want to go? If I have other choices, I won't have to do so. If I disagree, how can I get your medical expenses?"

"I...."

Actually, Xavier wanted to tell Jasmine about his recovery.

But in mid—sentence, he was interrupted by an angry voice. "Xavier, shut up!"

Hana rushed in. "I didn't know you are such a selfish cripple."

"Do you know how much pain and suffering Jasmine has endured in order to earn you medical fees? Everyone says she is the bane of her husband behind her back."

"Mom, stop!"

Jasmine shouted.

"Why shouldn't I tell him?"

Hana smashed the mask on Xavier's face, "Jasmine has paid so much for you, but what have you given her? You are just a cripple. What can you give her?"

"Now she has met the right person. What qualifications do you have to stop her?"

"Are you afraid that after Jasmine dates with someone else, no one will support you?"

Just as Hana was questioning loudly, Charlie, who was standing at the door, knocked lightly on the door.

His complacent expression and arrogant temperament were simply provocations to Xavier.

He raised his hand and looked at the Rolex watch with a slight frown.

"Jasmine, can we go now? The customer is still waiting!"

When Charlie spoke, he deliberately stared at Xavier and stressed the word 'customer'.

"I...."

While Jasmine was hesitating, Hana pushed her out and said, "Go. Seize the moment."

When Jasmine walked up to Charlie, he pointed at Xavier on the bed with a sneer. "You can go with us!"

"Sorry!"

Charlie slapped his forehead forcefully with a very frustrated expression. "How poor my memory is. I almost forget that you're a cripple who can't go anywhere!"
