Helen walked over with a smile. "Yoselin, your dress is a to disaster. I happen to have an extra gown with me. Since we're about the same size, why don't you try mine on?" She figured if Yoselin wore her dress, it might help her get close to the Russell family. Yoselin shook her head. "No, thanks. I have some extra dresses here." She quickly grabbed the hem of her gown and pulled Yasmine along. "Come on, let's

go.

She didn't want Yasmine to be bullied, especially not when she had promised her brother to look after her.

Just then, a waiter approached them. "Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Russell wants to see you."

Yoselin instantly released Yasmine's hand. "You go find my brother. I'll change and catch up in a minute. Don't let anyone bother you,' she said, shooting a fierce glare at Helen before rushing upstairs. Yasmine chuckled and nodded to the waiter. "Lead the way." She decided to ignore Helen and Yvette.

Once Yasmine left, Helen ground her teeth in frustration. "What's so great about her? Mr. Russell treats her like she's royalty! The moment she was in trouble, he called her away like that!"

"It was not Mr. Russell," Yvette replied c**lly, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Helen raised an eyebrow. "Not Mr. Russell? Then who? Was it you?"

Yvette nodded, a smirk creeping onto her face. "What are you going to do? If you embarrass Yasmine, Mom will like you even more," said Helen, excitement written all over her face. "Just wait and see what I have planned," said Yvette in a cold tone.

Meanwhile, Yasmine followed the waiter through the banquet hall until they reached the back garden. It was eerily quiet. "Where's Mr. Russell?" she asked, looking around.

"Mr. Russell only asked me to bring you here. He didn't say anything else. You can wait here, the waiter explained before leaving and locking the door behind him.
