âOf course! Iâve long considered Aunt Yara as my mom. Thereâs no way Iâd harm her-â
Before Yasmin could finish speaking, Yvette acted, snatching the item from her pocket.
Yasminâs face turned pale as she saw the item taken away, looking diffident. She rushed forward, trying to get it back. âYvette, give it back to me!!!â
Yvette opened the package to show it to everyone present. âThis is Centella powder!â
âYes! Thatâs right!â Gideon nodded in agreement. âThis is indeed Centella powder!â
âOh my god, I canât believe Ms. Yasmin did it! All these years, Mrs. Murray has loved her as if she were her own daughter. Yet she did such a cruel thing to Mrs. Murray!â
âExactly! If it werenât for Ms. Yvette, Mrs. Murrayâs life wouldâve been in danger. I canât believe how cruel Ms. Yasmin is!â
When she heard the murmurs of the maids, Yasminâs expression darkened. She shouted frantically, âShut up! All of you, shut up!â
With the evidence laid out, she had no way to deny it. It was all Yvetteâs fault for ruining her plan!
It was over for her.
âYas, why did you do this?â Yara asked, shocked and heartbroken. âIâve always treated you like my own daughter. Even when Yvie came back, I still loved you just the same. Why would you do this?â
âGive me a break! You were never sincere about treating me like your own. Thatâs a lie!â Now that her plan was exposed, Yasmin couldnât keep up the act.
Her face twisted with anger. âEver since Yvette got back, youâve all been showering that bitch with attention! You donât even treat me like family anymore!â
âYouâ¦â Yara was truly heartbroken.
âYvie suffered so much out there. For 18 years, you enjoyed a life of wealth and affection with the Murrays. We want to make it up to Yvie, but we still love you just as much.â
âStop lying to me!â Yasminâs face contorted into a mask of fury. âYou found your real daughter, and now thereâs no place for me in your hearts. If I donât find a way to drive Yvette out of the Murrays, Iâll have nothing left!â
Yara and Irwin were utterly disappointed in her. They turned their faces away, refusing to look at her. Youâre beyond hope! Weâve wasted all these years raising you!â
âYvie, letâs report this to the police. Attempted poisoning could get her over ten years in prison!â
Yasmin began to tremble with fear, realizing the gravity of the situation. âNo⦠Donât call the policeâ¦â She knew her life would be over if she ended up in jail.
âWho dares to send my granddaughter to jail!â Alex stormed in, pounding his cane on the floor and striking a pose of authority.
â
âGrandpa, youâre finally here!â Yasmin ran to him like a drowning person grabbing at a life raft.
âGrandpa, you have to save me. If Iâm sent to jail, my life will be over!â
âDonât worry, Yas. With me here, no one will lay a finger on you!â Alex turned to Yvette, angrily rebuking her. âItâs all your fault! Your return to the Murrays has been nothing but a disaster.â
âThis has nothing to do with Yvie. Donât take your anger out on her!â Irwin and Jacob spoke in unison, firmly defending Yvette.
Yasminâs jealousy flared up at their action. âGrandpa,â she said, âtheyâre all so taken in by Yvette now!â Alexâs disdain for Yvette deepened. He snapped, âFamily matters should be kept private. Weâll let this matter rest today. No one is to say another word about it!â
