Chapter 21
“Sean, forget it. I don’t want you to argue with Yvie because of me.” Yasmin’s face turned dark as she saw Sean straighten his back upon Yvette’s command.
Sean was usually fearless and rebellious. He barely even listened to Yara or Irwin, but now he was obeying Yvette without question
Yasmin was furious inside but maintained her facade of kindness. “Wvie, let me put your helmet away. You must be tired after staying out all night. You should go test.
“But Yvie, you shouldn’t do this again. You’re new to Jubllife and don’t know your way around. It could be dangerous.”
Her words seemed innocent enough, but they subtly implied that Yvette had stayed out all night, hinting at her lack of propriety.
As expected, Sean’s expression grew uglier as he frowned tighter.
With a secret smirk, Yasmin reached out to take Yvette’s helmet.
“Hands off”
Yvette didn’t like others handling her things. Her cold glance sent shivers down Yasmin’s spine.
“Yvie, I was just trying to help. I didn’t know you hated me that much.” Yasmin trembled slightly, feigning fear.
“I do hate you. Stay away from me,
Yasmin was taken aback by Yvette’s bluntness. Suddenly, she had an idea. Her eyes turned red–rimmed, and she adopted a pitiful tone.
“Sean, I didn’t expect Yvie to hate me so much. If that’s how she feels, I shouldn’t stay here and be a bother. I’ll move to Murray Estate and stay with Grandpa.”
Yasmin knew Sean’s character well. Knowing he was highly sentimental, she played the victim card expertly.
With a sorrowful expression, she was about to go upstairs to pack her things. As expected, just as she took a step forward, Sean intercepted her.
“Yas, don’t go. This is your home, too. No one can make you leave.”
With that, Sean tumed to Yvette and looked at her fiercely. “Listen, you can’t just come back after being away for years and act like you own the place. If you bully Yas again, I won’t acknowledge you as my sister.”
“Oh,” Yvette responded indifferently, not even looking up. “1 wasn’t planning on acknowledging you as my brother anyway.”
“You-“Sean was about to explode, but for some reason, his anger faltered when he met her eyes.
Disinterested in arguing further, Yvette began walking upstairs.
He was being ignored! There was actually someone holder than him, the Jubilife tyrant.
The furious Sean shouted, “Stop right there!”
Yvette raised her delicate brows as she continued walking without pausing. How dare he yell at her? She was determined to make him train for
another five hours later.
Watching her retreating figure, Sean angrily threw the ten carefully prepared gifts into the trash. “Fuck! Ignoring me? You won’t get a single gilt!”
In her room, Yvette changed out of her clothes from yesterday and took a comfortable shower. Wrapping herself in a towel, she stepped out of
the bathroom.
She instinctively reached for her neck. It was then that she realized something was missing,
The charm she’d received from her grandmother, Kayla, was gone.
Yvette’s indifferent expression turned serious. She pressed her lips into a tight line and tried to recall the events of the previous night. She remembered the charm being around her neck before she started drinking, but her memory after that was hazy.
