Yasmine downed her glass of red wine in one go and placed it back on the table. Im going to
"Okay" Morgan clinked glasses and sat back down, looking at his phone with a complicated expression.
Yasmine returned to her room after collecting all the gifs from everyone, then went to freshen up. When she finally sat on her bed, it was already 11:30 PM. In her hand was the bracelet Yonas had given her, and she found herself lost in thought. Why didn't he come? Was something holding him up? In just half an hour, her birthday would be over, and though she'd received plenty of well wishes, his was the one that mattered most-and it was missing.
While she was in a daze, her phone chimed with a message-a multimedia message with some text and a photo. The photo showed Yonas sleeping soundly, which made her heart skip a beat. The text was from Irene: [Ms. Sanchez, it's Irene. First of all, happy birthday! Yonas really wanted to attend your party, but couldn't because something came up on my end. Please don't hold it against him I
Once again. Irene. Once again, because of her. Yasmine fought the urge to throw her phone as she stared at the photo, her heart aching and unsure
of how to react.
Yasmine turned off her phone, closed her eyes tightly, and a tear slipped out. She hadn't expected it to hurt so much. But after seeing the picture Irene sent, it felt like a knife was twisting in her heart, more painful than any breakup she'd endured. Maybe she should never have trusted Yonas again, sparing herself from getting hurt once more.
She put
the bracelet gifted by Yonas into a box and shoved it into the corner of her closet. She didn't want to see anything he had given her
anymore.
Back when she was at Saint's Haven, she should have made up her mind to cut ties with him.
Yasmine headed to work feeling dejected. She had barely sat down when Yonas came chasing after her. He placed a gift box on the table, sliding it towards her. "Yasmine, L..." His memory was hazy, still not fully grasping what happened yesterday. All he recalled was Irene calling about a car accident at the hospital. He got there, had a glass of water, and then blacked out
It wasn't until he woke up this morning and checked his phone that he remembered yesterday's events. By then, Yasmine's birthday had long passed, and he had missed it.
"Mr. Russell, I'm working. Please leave, Yasmine bit out icily through clenched teeth
He looked up abruptly, his eyes tired, filled with an unmistakable sadness. "I can explain yesterday's incident."
Yasmine let out a self-mocking laugh, "Mr. Russell, pray tell, where were you yesterday? With Ms. White, perhaps?"
Their eyes met, an unspoken distance lingering between them. Yonas didn't know how to respond. He had gone to see Irene yesterday, but it wasn't his intention.
"Why aren't you answering? Is it because you can't say it, or did I hit the nail on the head?" Yasmine narrowed her eyes, looking at Yonas with a hint of sarcasm. She suddenly remembered the man who had jumped in to save her when she was drowning, the man who had risked everything to bring her to safety. Is Yonas still capable of such selfless acts now?
"Yasmine, it was my fault, and I'll make it up you, Yonas said.
Yasmine suddenly interrupted him, her eyes drifting off into the distance as she looked out the window. "Yonas, tell me, am I still the same person I was yesterday!"
"What?" Yonas was confused.
"No, I'm not. No compensation can compare to a blessing before midnight. Yasmine lowered her gaze, looking sadly at Yonas.
At that moment, there was a sudden pain in Yonas's chest. He knew something had changed, but he still didn't want to give up on Yasmine. "Yasmine, yesterday Irene said she got into a car accident..." "Yonas, do you know she was the one behind the incident at the stables Yasmine's eyes widened, searching for an answer from him.
Yonas slowly nodded, "I know"
"If you knew, why didn't you say anything! She tried to harm me. Yonas, you've really let me down. Tell Irene that I won't tolerate her next time," Yasmine said coldly. After speaking, she pushed Yous out of the counseling room, returning his gift to him "Since we're breaking up, let's not rontart each other again, she declared firmly, shutting the door with force and drawing the curtain closed.
Yanas returned to his office in a daze, and the assistant quickly whispered in his ear. "Mr. Bussell, Ms. White is here."

Chapter 195
The moment Yonas stepped into his office, he saw Irene casually sitting in his chair, looking at him with a playful smile. "Yonas, you're finally back.. Here's the draft of the contract. Take a look"
Yonas suppressed the urge to question her and reviewed the contract thoroughly. This contract was brought by Dennis, initially shown to the White family for their review before making its way to the Russell Group. "It looks fine." He wondered if Irene was really being considerate, as she had even revised parts of the contract unfavorable to the Russell Group,
He put the contract down and signed his name with a pen. Looking at Irene intently, he asked, "What happened yesterday? Why did I pass out?"
Irene thought for a moment before replying, "You might have accidentally taken my sleeping pills prescribed by the doctor. She paused briefly and added, "It wasn't on purpose
Yonas narrowed his eyes slightly, "What about the incident at the ranch? Was that your doing?"
A fleeting shadow crossed Irene's eyes, "Yonas, don't you trust me? You trust Yasmine?" She sat up even more composedly, lightly tapping her fingers on the folder, "Just for Yasmine?"
Yonas calmed his gaze. Even though he wanted to avenge Yasmine, he needed to handle things with the White family first. I happened to be there. that day. Let's not have this kind of thing happen again."
Irene
pur away her smile and picked up the contract. "Yonas, I don't want this to happen again either. I'll take it back for Grandpa to have a look."
At the Flynn residence, Xavier sat in his study, staring blankly at a photo of Yasmine, taken on her birthday. He vividly remembered the events at the racetrack, where Yvette was also involved.
"What are you looking at!" Yvette's voice broke the silence.
Xavier was startled and quickly tucked the photo into the drawer.
"Xavier, do you remember what you promised me?" Yvette assumed he had forgotten all the things he once said. He had vowed to love only her. keep her solely in his heart. But now, Xavier's heart had long been partially given to Yasmine. She could feel it; it wasn't fake or just a guess.
"I remember, don't worry, Yvette, Xavier reassured her.
Yvette Blung herself into his arms. "Xavier, you better not forget your promise to me." Her eyes were slightly red. She couldn't lose this man; she loved him.
Suppressing his inner frustration, Xavier wrapped his arms around her waist. "I always remember, so don't do anything unnecessary again." The moment those words left his lips, Yvette's body trembled. "Xavier, I don't understand what you're saying"
