A frigid gleam danced in Yvetteâs eyes as she read Jakeâs message. She then replied, âAgree to her demands. Itâs good to earn 500 million for nothing.â
Jake had an inkling of what his boss was planning and immediately responded with respect. âYes, Boss!â
Yvette pocketed her phone, her scarlet lips twisted into a chilling sneer.
The show was about to begin.
The next day, Yvette checked Yaraâs condition. Then, she carefully instructed Jacob and Irwin, who were staying home, to care for Yara. Once they understood, she headed to her university.
Ashton and Sean, now aware of the incident, were so enraged that their eyes turned bloodshot.
They spoke with fists balled up so tightly that their knuckles turned white.
âI canât believe she could do something so vicious. Mom treated her like a daughter, and we treated her like our own sister, yet she did this!â
âShe let us down. Yvie, from now on, youâre our only sister!â
After 18 years together, Yvette knew every member of the Murrays had genuinely treated Yasmin as family. The more they poured their hearts into loving Yasmin, the more heartbroken they felt now.
âAsh, Seanâ¦â Yasmin approached wearing a little white dress, her eyes red, looking extremely vulnerable. Is Aunt Yara feeling a bit better today than yesterday?â
Sean and Ashton were simpleâminded and easy to fool. If she wanted to return to Murray Manor, sheâd have to work on them.
âShut up! Weâre not your brothers anymore. Yesterday, we cut all ties with you!â
âThatâs right, from now on youâd better stay far away when you see us, or we wonât let you off easy!â
Sean and Ashton looked at her with icy cold eyes, as if she were a stranger.
Yasminâs eyes filled with tears and turned a deep red; her expression was one of utter despair.
âI donât know what came over me. I must have been out of my mind to do such a terrible thing! Ash, Sean, I know I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. I deeply regret it now!
âI know I donât deserve your forgiveness, but please, let me see Aunt Yara one more time! I want to apologize to her in person-â
Before she could finish, Sean and Ashton interrupted her.
âScram! Donât come back and bother us anymore or youâll be sorry.â
âThatâs right, get as far away as possible. We never want to see you again!â
After being scolded so harshly, Yasminâs face turned ashen, and her hands balled into fists at her sides. âYvie, we will come pick you up after class.â
Sean and Ashton patted Yvette on the head, their expressions unbelievably gentle. It was a stark contrast to the way they treated Yasmin.
The scene before her was a painful sight for Yasmin as envy gnawed at her. All their affection should have been hers.
Yvette had stolen everything from her!
