Chapter 260
“Mr. Russell has responded to Ms. Russell’s incident at the gates of Aurelith University…” On TV, Yonas’s face was strikingly cold and handsome, his voice carrying an indescribable tone. “When I decided to have Yasmine as my sister’s psychiatrist, it was after carefully considering her professional integrity and expertise. As it turned out, during the subsequent treatments, Ms. Sanchez consistently maintained a high professional standard in working with my sister. The incident at the school gate was not due to Ms. Sanchez; rather, three hours earlier, my sister had been kidnapped and traumatized..
Yasmine turned off the TV, fully aware of why Yonas had addressed the issue–it was simply to help her. The most direct result was that after Yonas’s interview, the online storm against Yasmine started to calm down. After all, regarding Teresa’s case, despite the clear evidence, both the police and the university president had released all they could.
After finishing the interview, Yonas packed up his things to leave, though he hadn’t expected to run into Irene. “Yonas,” she greeted with a playful grin, her demeanor as if nothing had ever happened between them–just like a few years ago.
Yonas swept a serious look over her face, “Why are you here?
“Mr. Norton wanted to see us. I called you earlier, but you didn’t pick up, so since it’s explained.
not far, I decided to come over,” Irene
“Mr. Norton wants to see us?” Yonas raised an eyebrow slightly: the connection between Dennis and Irene had already far exceeded his own.
Inside The Moment Café, Yonas and Irene walked into the private room, where Dennis had been waiting for quite some time
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yonas sat down, lightly tapping his fingers on the table. Regardless, EverPeak was an international conglomerate, and he couldn’t afford to be disrespectful.
“Mr. Russell, Ms. White, the reason I’ve called you here today is because Max Group and our company have a multi–billion dollar contract, which requires parts to be ordered from your side. Now, do you two want to negotiate among yourselves whether to continue the previous three–party cooperation or go for a direct cooperation between the two?” Deonis asked.
Yonas appeared serious, suddenly understanding Dennis’s intentions. The reason for having all three parties present was likely to foster a three–way cooperative relationship Being excluded from the deal would not only dissatisfy the excluded party but EverPeak as well. He calmly stated, “Three–way”
He knew very well that continuing the three–way deal meant he and the White Group would never be able to break free. The cooperation between the White Group and the Russell Group was already tight, bound by multiple contts like knots holding them together. This three–way contract seemed like a deadlock.
Irene smiled and said, “I’m okay with that too.”
At Morgan’s house, Yasmine firmly pressed the painting Yoselin had drawn to the bottom of the bookshelf. She just face that title. Yonas’s love belonged to Irene, even though she didn’t want to admit it.
couldn’t
Yonas stepped into the Sanchez residence, mainly to take Yoselin back home today. As soon as he entered, Madeline was sitting obediently on the sofa, waiting for him, while Yasmine looked up from a pile of documents, casting him a wry smile.
“Yasmine, how’s Yoselin’s condition?” Yonas asked.
“Mr. Smith, although Yoselin appears to be fine right now, it’s only because she’s not feeling any fear or danger that she’s sitting here so calmly. If you insist on taking her back, make sure she doesn’t experience any shocks or harm. Even if it’s not physical harm, as long as she senses danger, she might lose control.” Yasmine explained.
Yasmine lowered her gaze, she hadn’t told Yonas the more crucial information, that Yoselin had a special reliance and trust

in her. This might be tied to memories from three years ago, but she hadn’t unearthed the true reason yet. It seemed to work better when Yoselin stayed by her side, as she couldn’t feel the same dependency elsewhere.
“TIl be careful,” Yonas said, picking up Yoselin to leave, only to be stopped by Yasmine
“Hold on a second, Yasmine said.
Yonas turned around in confusion and saw Yasmine holding a painting right in front of him, “This is yours”
“Mine!” Yonas looked at the painting, not recognizing the person depicted. He glanced at Yoselin, “Did Yoselin paint this?” first glance. Yonas guessed the woman in the painting was Yasmine, especially since the blank space labeled her as ‘Yonas’s love. Yoselin knew Yasmine was Yonas’s one true love.
“Yes, Mr. Russell, if you really love someone, you should just go for it and not keep it a secret. Yasmine replied irritably
<Is she telling me to boldly pursue her?> Yonas looked at the painting, not quite understanding, “Yasmine, my grandpa is anxious. I’ll find time to come see you again.”
“No need Yasmine replied.
The next day was the day to sign the contract. There was an impending sense of tension in the air. After Irene, Dennis, and Yonas had just signed the contract and as Irene was about to leave due to some company matters, they heard a strange sound.
Ms. White, wait up!” Yasmine called.
“Ms. Sanchez, oh, what do you need?” Irene asked.
“Ms. White, it’s just us now, no need to keep pretending, right?” Yasmine’s voice was low.
Irene chuckled lightly, “Ms. Sanchez, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“We’ve come this far, I’ve already found out about Teresa’s family, are you still going to keep pretending?” Yasmine’s eyes bore into Irene’s like an eagle’s.
Irene maintained her polite smile. “Ms. Sanchez, I have a lot of work to do, no time to listen to your nonsense.” She turned to leave, but Yasmine stopped her again. “Don’t go!”
Irene sneered, “Ms. Sanchez, please step aside, I really have things to do, or else I’ll have to call security.”
Yasmine took out Teresa’s phone and placed it in the chat box with her, “This is you, isn’t it?”
Irene watched for a moment, then suddenly leaned in closer to Yasmine and whispered in her ear, “It’s me, so what?”
“Why did you ask Teresa to go to the rooftop that day? Her brother said it was you who gave her the chocolates.” Yasmine narrowed her eyes slightly.
Irene’s smile abruptly vanished, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I don’t even know what you mean. I deeply regret Teresa’s death, but isn’t the entire internet blaming you, Yasmine? If you have any questions, go to the police and let them arrest me.”
“I will, I definitely will!” Yasmine said solemnly.
Irene laughed in exasperation, “Then stop blocking my way.”
At this moment, Yonas and Dennis walked out of the private room, and Yonas was visibly stunned when he saw Yasmine.
