âAsk your mom to follow me so she can earn some money to treat your dad.â
âHuh?â
Vivian stared at Sebastian with big, sparkly eyes. She didnât understand what he was saying.
Sasha, who was busy packing her luggage, lifted her head puzzledly.
Is he still angry?
Meanwhile, at the Red Pavilion in Jadeborough.
Stephen had heard the news from Jetroina, leaving him feeling restless for the entire night.
âThat b*stard, Sebastian! We have always treated him well, havenât we? Why would he leave such a
mess for us at Jetroina? Is he planning to go against us?â
Jasmine was unable to rest well too. Hence, her insufficient rest and her simmering anger at Sebastian
exploded early in the morning.
Good?
Has she ever treated him decently?
Isnât she the one who planned to murder him every time?
Kira scoffed internally at Jasmineâs outburst.
âEnough. Stop talking. Canât you do anything else other than grumble?â
Stephen scolded Jasmine before leaving for the Oceanic Estate urgently.
If I donât placate Dad for the shit that blew up in Jetroina, Iâll be doomed.
Jasmineâs anger surged as Stephen left.
âWhatâs with his attitude? How can he scold me? Is he telling me I havenât done anything? I was the one
who arranged for Sebastianâs demise twice! How am I the one who hasnât done anything!â
She was practically yelling in the living room like a raging beast.
Kira came over to stop her.
âAunt Jasmine, please keep your voice down. You wouldnât want anyone to overhear you, do you? Arenât
you afraid that word of this will spread to the Oceanic Estate?â
Jasmine finally halted her yelling at Kiraâs reminder.
âI canât help it. Iâm just⦠so mad!â
âYes, I understand. But we canât lose our footing, no matter how terrible the situation gets. We should
think of a solution as of this moment.â
Kira began analyzing the situation for Jasmine.
Jasmine glanced at her.
Whatâs with her sudden change of attitude?
I have never seen her so enthusiastic before. She would usually make sarcastic remarks, such as she
couldnât come up with a solution due to her lack of intelligence, or she would come up with excuses to
push her responsibilities away.
So, whatâs different today?
Jasmine fixed her gaze at her niece.
âAll right. What would you suggest to solve the current situation, then?â
âI do have a solution, but you must promise me something first.â
Kira suddenly started negotiating with Jasmine.
As expected, sheâs planning something today.
Jasmine kept her anger in check. âMy, my. Arenât you brave today? All right then, state your terms.â
âOkay.â
Kira clenched her sweat-laden fist as she mustered her courage. âI hope you can let Devin go to
Smallpoint.â
âSmallpoint?â Jasmineâs eyes widened at her request. âAre you crazy? You want me to let him go to that
god-awful place?â
âThatâs not my intention, Aunt Jasmine. Donât you know that Old Mr. Jadeson is planning for Devinâs and
Sabrinaâs marriage? Do you really want that woman to be the lady of the Jadesons?â
âWhat did you say?â
Jasmine was thunderstruck. For a few seconds, she was gaping at her niece like an idiot.
My son is marrying Sabrina?
Has he gone mad?
That girl isnât worthy of my son at all. She doesnât have any talents or looks. Whatâs worse is her
background. She came from a family of businessmen!
She has no right to marry my son.
Jasmine finally recollected herself and focused all her attention on Kira.
âWhere did you hear this? Did Old Mr. Jadeson tell you this?â
âOf course not. I eavesdropped on Old Mr. Jadesonâs conversation with Mark in the study that day. I was
on my way to serve some pastry when I overheard them discussing this matter. Old Mr. Jadeson was
leaning toward the idea.â
Kira stood there and reiterated everything she heard that day.
The moment Kira was done, Jasmine threw a fit and swept everything off the table onto the floor.
âDream on! She dares dream to become my daughter-in-law? Sheâs deluding herself.â
She was yelling again, and the entire Red Pavilion could hear her bellows.
Excellent!
Kira was finally satisfied with the scene in front of her.
I have been patient for too long, but that woman just keeps on pushing my limits.
I have never expected any outcome for the love buried deep inside me, but that doesnât mean Iâm going
to hand over the man I love without a fight.
Sabrina has no right.
Kira left the Red Pavilion in a good mood.
A few minutes later, she received a call from the Oceanic Estate. âMs. Woods, when are you coming over
to cook lunch? Old Mr. Jadeson is asking for you.â
She laughed. âSorry about that. But Iâm not going today. I need to rush for a banquet at the White House.
Please help me inform Old Mr. Jadeson.â
âAll right then.â
The housemaid hung up the call regrettably.
Not long after, she saw Jasmine stomping furiously into the Oceanic Estate.
