Xavier explained. "Yvette's not the type to pull something like this. I already grilled Helen about the video this morning, and she said she didn't do
Morgan's face showed clear annoyaner as he warned, "If this doesn't get sorted, I'm not letting it drop. You better go home and have a talk with your wife, Xavier With that, he turned and walked away. Now, Xavier was holding a stack of papers, feeling unsure whether to put them away or keep them. The glaring IP address on them seemed to burn
his eyes. He decided to take them home, only to find Helen about to go out with Yvette and Selena.
Xavie? What are you doing back? Helen asked her brow furrowed in confusion.
He didn't respond to her. Instead, his eyes focused on Yvette. However, Yvette avoided his gaze, letting out a nervous laugh. "Xavier, aren't you supposed to be at work?" she said.

With a cold smile, Xavier moved closer to Y
"Xavier, what do you want?" Yvette's voice trembled as she retreated, her hands clenched behind her back.

Selena stepped in just as Xavier was about to confront Yvette. "Xavier, stop it. She's your wife, for crying out
"Mom, do you have any idea what she did? She's the one who's behind that viral article online, Xavier chided, his eyes sharp as he stared down.
Yvette took a shaky breath her eyes darting around nervously. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't do anything. Xavier
I Yvette
"Didn't you?" Xavier narrowed his eyes, slamming the papers down in front of her "This IP address is from our home, and the file even lists the phone model. As far as I know, Yvette, you're the only one in the family with that phone, right!" Yvette clutched her bag, stammering. "I-I didn't do it"
Helen jumped to Yvette's defense. "Xavier, Yasmine's not even part of this family. Why are you treating Yvette this way! Besides, the article isn't lying. Yoselin has gone off the deep end, and Yasmine's been treating her for ages. She should have been better by now, but instead, she's worke Why can't people talk about the truth!"
Xavier's mind flashed back to the two of them whispering together in the car after the auction yesterday. It all clicked in
into place.
"So you two cooked this up together? She wrote the article, and you supplied the video. Nice teamwork!" Xavier's voice dripped with sarcasm.
Selena tried to smooth things over again. "Xavier, let it go. One's your wife, and the other's your sister. Can you really blame them for something an outsider like Yasmine did?"
Selena pulled Xavier away, and Yverse finally caught her breath, tears welling up in her eyes. "Xavier, please don't be angry with me. I was just asking
a question."
Xavier sighed heavily. "Do you have any idea what you've done? Because of this, the Flynn Group is now in Morgan's sights. You two just had to stir up trouble without understanding who you're dealing with "What are you saying, Xavier? Is the Sanchez family actually challenging us?" Selena's eyes
swidened in shock
Xavier massaged his temples, his voice weary. "Mom, after what happened last time, the Flynn family's influence has waned. And Morgan is known for his ruthlessness. His targets usually end up acquired or bankrupt." Selena fell silent, her gaze lingering on Xavier's tired face and any pleas for Yvette dying on her lips
As for the online drama, Yasmine wanted no part of it. After a day of swirling rumors, she woke up to a sharp pain in her stomach. She forced herself out of bed, gritting her teeth against the discomfort. Dressing quickly despite the pain, she noticed Yoselin was already awake. The familiar ache told her that her period had arrived.
The pain only served to remind her of the care Yonas had once shown, taking her to the hospital and looking after her. She remembered Yonas had been by her side throughout her last period:
It was funny When she thought she had moved on, memories came crashing back, triggered by the slightest thing

stark contrast to the comforting cedar scent that used to cling to Yonas
Yasmine found herself caught in a loop of questions, pondering the shift in Yonas's behavior. Was it really a change, or just the reemergence of Irene in his life!' she thought. Yasmine couldn't help but dwell on the past, questioning if the moments they'd shared were as ephemeral as soap bubbles, bursting away with just a swift wave of the hand.
Yasmine wanted to ask Yonas so many things, but she never got the chance, not even a chance to say goodbye. Are we still a couple, or have we become strangers?' she wondered.
It wasn't until she'd checked in that she realized the doctor was the same one from her last visit. He glanced at her medical record and asked, "Did you finish the medication I prescribed last time? You shouldn't be in so much pain if you'd taken it as directed. Yasmine managed a bitter smile and shook her head. The medication was still at her rental, untouched.
"Remember, taking your medicine on time is key to managing the pain, the doctor admonished.
Yasmine nodded. 'Til make sure to
Yoselin sat quietly beside her, seemingly oblivious. After getting her medication, Yasmine left with Yoselin, who suddenly froze. "Yoselin, what's the matter?" Yasmine asked, puzzled.
Yoselin pointed, and when Yasmine followed her gaze, she saw Yonas across the way, his eyes meeting hers. Her heart lurched, and she stood rooted to the spot, unsure whether to approach or walk away.
Before she could decide, Yonas had already approached with a bag of medicine in hand. "Not feeling well?" he inquired gently.
Yasmine's face was pale as she shook her head. Tm fine, just a little under the weather."
Yonas looked at the bag of medicine in her hand and pursued. "Didn't take the medicine on time last time? Still having stomach cramps!"
His concern left Yasmine flustered, her heart racing, but she was at a loss for how to respond. She wanted to ask. "Why are you still so concerned? Why did you choose Irene over me? Why did you show care and concern for me?"
With a mirthless chuckle, Yasmine shook her head. "Mr. Russell, you really don't have to go out of your way!
She wanted to ask, "Why the silence? Why all the affection toward Irene at the auction? herself, fearing his answers would only hurt more.

Why a no-show for days?" But she kept her questions to
"Don't be stubborn, Yasmine. Take your medicine, or you'll be in pain again, Yonas advised.
Yasmine looked up at him, her voice barely above a whisper. "Will you remind me if I forget!" She waited, but Yonas remained silent. "Why don't you answer me?" she asked.
