"Yasmine's uncle?"
Only then did Sebastian Simons realize that he knew too little about Yasmine Taylor. They had been married for nearly six months, and yet he did not even know that she had this uncle.
"Yes."
"Alright, please tell me everything about Yasmine. The more details, the better."
Chuck Lorris wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and began to tell him all the experiences that Yasmine had since she was a child.
"Henry Taylor met my sister Tanya Lorris in a night club in F City twenty-five years ago. At that time, my sister was a famous dancer in the club. Henry fell in love with her at first sight and began to pursue her crazily. Although my sister had resorted to a job as a nightclub dancer, she kept her moral integrity and had no physical contact with guests. When Henry found out that she liked lilies, he used a full truck of lilies to win over my sister's heart. Under his persistent pursuit, my sister finally accepted him. She got into a sexual relationship with him but at that time, Henry never told her that he was actually a married man. Tanya only knew that he was a businessman who specialised in tendering construction projects. Once the construction at F city was completed, he told her he would marry her. Three months later, my sister found out that she was pregnant, but Henry wasn't in F city at that time. After thinking it through, she decided to pack her things and move to B city. From that moment onward, the nightmare began....
"My sister didn't expect that Henry was married, and his wife was also pregnant. The wife couldn't accept the facts so she made a big fuss at the Taylor Family. Henry had accused my sister, that the child was not his, which made my sister want to commit suicide. Henry was afraid of getting into a lawsuit, so he met her in private and promised that he would do the paternity test after the baby was born. If it was proven to be his, he will then take up the responsibility."
"Seven months later, my sister gave birth to a daughter safely. She began to wait expectedly every day for Henry to visit her and her daughter. However, Henry did not show up even after the child was a month old. My sister came to the Taylor Family with the child in her arms. In the end, she was humiliated by his wife, Dorothy Ryles and got kicked out from the house. At that time, my sister was depressed and wanted to commit suicide with her child. However, when she saw the child's innocent face, she could not bear to do so. After the painful struggle, she could no longer count on Henry but she hoped that he could give her some money every month for the sake of the child..."
"Did he?"
Sebastian Simons asked in a gloomy voice.
Chuck Lorris shook his head and said, "No, the reason why Henry is able to start his career is because of all the money from his wife's family fortune, so he could not give up a good future for my sister. Not only did he not give my sister alimony, but he had also threatened my sister. He threatened her that if she dared to bring the child with her and cause any more trouble outside of his house, he will find someone to kill them. She endured everything even though she was unwilling to, for the sake of her child.
"Why didn't your sister ask for help from the law enforcers?" Fynn asked in confusion.
"My sister did not have any proper education. Other than her good looks, she had no other skills. After leaving the nightclub, she lost her income and she couldn't find a job because she had to take care of her daughter. At that time, even three meals a day was an issue. How would she have the money to hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit?"
"It's really not easy."
