Chapter 278
With reddened eyes, Irene asked, “Auntie, why didn’t he stay with me last night?” The answer to whether it’s love or not was obvious. She didn’t even have to beat around the bush; she knew Yonas’s feelings well.
Daisy shifted her gaze away from Irene, hesitatingly saying, “Ms White, maybe Mr. Russell has some matters to attend to. Didn’t he already agree to the thing discussed with our master the other day?”
Irene knew he had agreed, but being forced to agree is not the same as doing it willingly. Although she thought of herself as exceptional, emotions aren’t always that clear–cut. She received phone call, “Ms. White, Mr. Russell went back to his place after leaving the White family yesterday.”
Hearing this, Irene breathed a sigh of relief, but the next words pierced her with tension, “Around one–thirty in the morning, Mr. Russell went out again.”
Before the person on the other end could finish, Irene urgently asked, “Did he go to the Inkwell Bar?”
“Yes, Mr. Russell went to the Inkwell Bar and left with a woman. They intended to take a car, but for some reason, after the woman said something. Mr. Russell decided not to and walked off with her…
Irene was panting with anger, nearly throwing her phone in fury. She struggled to regain a bit of composure, “And then? Where did they go?”
The person on the line paused before continuing, “Ms. White, I’m not sure. I didn’t follow them all the way. There were no cars on the road at the time, and they were walking back, which made it hard to follow.”
“Alright, I get it.” Irene closed her eyes tightly. After hanging up the phone, she reopened them, brushing away the worry and fatigue from before, leaving only pure hatred.
Daisy looked at Irene with concern. “Ms. White? What’s wrong
Irene shook her head, her face pale as she spoke to Daisy. “I’m fine, Daisy. You can leave now.”
“Alright, but call me if you need anything.” Daisy left, still worried.
Irene rubbed her temples, furious with Yasmine. Why did this wornan always have to appear in her life? She wanted her gone! Clenching her fists tightly, a sinister plan began to form in her mind.
[Is this what love between the domineering CEO and the heiress looks like?]
[I told you they were meant for each other. Don’t forget, the Cinderella who married the prince was actually a count’s daughter. Even if an ugly duckling turns into a swan, it’s because it was always a swan egg to begin with]
[Previously, there were always rumors about Yonas and Yasmine in the news. Have you noticed that ever since Ms. White returned to the country, she’s the one linked with Yonas now, and Yasmine seems to be out of the picture!]
[Is this really something worth pondering? The stepmother’s daughter always gets exposed for what she is. No matter how much she creates rumors with Yonas, as soon as the real deal shows up, she has to step aside!].
Yasmine looked at the comments on her phone with a troubled expression. She couldn’t even find anything to refute; they were absolutely right. Irene wasn’t an ugly duckling, she had always lived in a swan’s nest. She wasn’t a Cinderella either; from the start, she was simply a princess who wasn’t held in anyone’s palm
If she had seen this kind of comment before yesterday, Yasmine might not have cared much, but yesterday, something was different She forgot many things, but she dearly remembered the words Yonas had spoken to Irene.

“Yonas, everyone says that you like Yasmine, not me. They say I’m in the way of your relationship. Is that true?” Irene had asked.
“It’s not, Yonas had answered.
Yasmine forgot many things, yet she remembered those two sentences perfectly. They were right; she did look like a clown, having to step aside as soon as the real star appeared. She woke up this morning with her head spinning, suffering from a headache she couldn’t quite describe, with no memory of what had happened yesterday.
In Yasmine’s memory, after she yelled at Xavier, she went drinking with Lucy. After a night of heavy drinking she lost herself in the haze of alcohol. But what about Lucy?
She got dressed and went downstairs, where she saw Morgan looking at her with gentle eyes, and Geneva had already cooked soup that can help with hangover relief. “Yasmine, come over and finish this soup.”
Yasmine obediently sat at the table and finished the soup, then curiously asked, “Morgan, how did I get home yesterday? And what about Lucy?”
“Lucy has already gone home. Yesterday, yesterday it was the bar owner who called me, telling me to hurry and pick you up.” Morgan said.
Yasmine nodded half–believingly. She was sure she had heard Yonas‘ voice yesterday. On that private stretch of road, she seemed to have heard the words she said and Yonas replies.
At the Bernard’s office building, Yasmine and Lucy went together to meet Mr. Bernard. He didn’t come to the office often, but he had been dropping by more frequently these past few days
“The old man has asked me so many times, and today he finally begged Chuck to fix it for me. Yasmine, ever since that time we went to the bar, Chuck had been ignoring me for so long. I had to beg for a long while before she paid me any attention” Lucy said.
Yasmine couldn’t help but chuckle, ‘Next time, don’t drink that much.”
With a sigh, Lucy asked, “By the way, did Mr. Russell blame your
Yasmine furrowed her brow in confusion and asked, “Him? Why would he blame me?”
Lucy tapped her on the head, “You really drank yourself into a blackout. You don’t even know who took you home last night “What exactly happened yesterday!” Yasmine asked.
Lucy briefly recapped yesterday’s events, “Chuck took me away first, then called Mr. Russell to come pick you up.” Yasmine squinted her eyes slightly. Wasn’t it supposed to be Yons yesterday, not Morgan? Then why did Morgan liel
Before she had time to think more, Carson had already led them upstairs. Inside the CEO office, Hemmard was playing a “You fool! There’s someone over here and you don’t know it!” he yelled at his teammates through the mic. Upon seeing Yasmine and Lucy enter, he immediately stopped, “Oh, why’re you two here?
game.
“Surely Bernard isn’t unhappy to see us?” Lucy quickly took out the beef jerky and placed them on his desk. “We’re here today to give you some beef jerky as a thank–you gift. Last time, the wine tasting, you helped the Sanchez family”
Yasmine stood nearby, trying to hold back her laughter. With such a big contract, signing off on a deal worth hundreds of millions, how could a few pig’s feet be an adequate thank–your But, to her surprise, Bernard grabbed the pig’s feet and started eating them with relish. “Not bad, next time, remember to bring me a whole roasted lamb leg”
“Absolutely! If you love it, Bernard, I’ll bring you more tomorrow, Lucy replied.

Bernard was incredulous, “Is this the same person who was trying to steal my wine at the party? Did you really come just to bring me pig’s feet? Don’t even think about getting a hold of my red wine.”
