Chapter 245 "Yasmin, is your hand okay? Hold on, we've already sent a maid to get some ointment for the burn. Yvie couldn't have scalded you on purpose. You must have misunderstood something!"
Ashton and Sean hadn't seen what just happened, but they firmly believed in Yvette.
"Ashton, Sean, are you saying I'm slandering my sister?" Hearing them defend Yvette made Yasmin's heart burn with hatred, but her face showed even greater distress.
"That's not what we meant!" Ashton and Sean couldn't help but get anxious seeing her like this. "We didn't say you were slandering Yvie, we meant there must be a misunderstanding!" "Yasmin, think carefully; was it really Yvie who caused this?" Jacob narrowed his deep black eyes, his cold gaze falling on her with immense pressure. "Or did you just lose grip of the mug?"
Yasmin knew Jacob wasn't as gullible as Ashton and Sean. Facing his questioning gaze, it felt like all her little schemes had been seen through.
She couldn't help but tremble with fear. She could only take this opportunity to say, "Jacob, I thought it through, and it was my carelessness that made me lose my grip-it had nothing to do with her!"
"I knew there had to be a misunderstanding, Yvie would never do that!"
Sean and Ashton spoke in unison, their eyes revealing naive innocence.
Jacob looked at his two foolish brothers with disdain, then spoke with implication, "The most important thing for a family is to be harmonious; one shall not cause any trouble or ruin the family's peace."
Yasmin's face turned deathly pale. She wasn't a fool-she could hear Jacob's subtle warning.
On the other hand, Yvette was in a good mood, curling her red lips and adding a few more points to her mental list for Jacob. She suddenly had the thought that Jacob was rather nice and that she was really starting to like him.
Yara had been standing next to Yasmin just now. She knew what had happened. It was clearly Yasmin's own clumsiness that caused her to get scalded. Why did she have to accuse Yvette of burning her?
The more Yara thought about it, the more alarmed she felt. The previous incidents kept flashing in her mind -Yasmin stealing Yvette's jade pendant, plagiarizing her song, and now accusing Yvette of scalding her.
Yasmin was raised by her side, and Yara just couldn't believe she was a child of poor character.
However, the facts presented to her one after another left her no choice but to believe it, and she could no longer lie to herself that Yasmin's actions were unintentional.
Yara's gaze at Yasmin changed, and she felt even more heartbroken.
She had treated Yasmin like her own daughter, loving her so much over the years, but Yasmin had such malice and hostility towards her precious daughter.
Yara secretly pulled Irwin back to their room as the siblings conversed.
"Honey, I saw with my own eyes that Yasmin lost hold of the mug and burned herself. Yet, she blamed it on Yvie! I never thought she would be so intolerant of her!" Yara said in concern.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't dare believe that Yasmin would do such a thing.
Yara's face showed anguish, but she still spoke firmly, "Honey, maybe we should send Yasmin back to Murray Estate. Alex has always liked her, so she will have a good life there."
Yvette had suffered so much for so many years. Conversely, Yasmin had enjoyed their family's doting for a whole 18 years. Thus, sending her back to Murray Estate now shouldn't be a wrong move.
They had just found Yvette again, and Yara didn't want Yvette to suffer any more grievances. "Yara, don't be upset." Irwin comforted her gently, "I'll go with whatever you say. We'll talk to Yasmin about this later..."
Unbeknownst to the couple, Yasmin had secretly followed them and heard their entire conversation. Her expression turned sinister, repeating the fact that they actually intended to send her away.
They had told her before that even if Yvette came back, they would still treat her like their own daughter. But now, they wanted to send her away!
