"What exactly is it?" Xavier demanded coldly. He couldn't believe something that made Helen cry like this wasn't important.

Helen's tears kept falling under his shout, but how could she say it?

Xavier's face hardened. "How can I stop her if you won't tell me? Who kidnapped you today?"

"It was Yasmine! She did it!" She couldn't forget the sound of Yasmine and Dalton tying her up. That damn Dalton actually went through with it and handed the memory card to Yasmine. Helen was furious. How could she not be? "Xavier, Yasmine had someone kidnap me," she cried, full of grief.

Astonished, Xavier asked, half-believing, "Are you sure?"

"Xavier! Yasmine tied me up, and you don't believe me? I'm your sister!"

"I'll find out for sure," Xavier said.

After being taken home, Helen started crying uncontrollably. No matter what Selena and Xavier asked, she remained silent. She didn't want to speak out, didn't want to anger Xavier. Her mind was terrified that if Yasmine really released the video, she would be finished for sure.

Xavier paced back and forth in the study, deep in thought, when Selena stormed in. "Xavier, that witch Yasmine dared to kidnap your sister, and you're doing nothing about it!"

"Mom, Yasmine wouldn't do that," Xavier said.

"Wouldn't she! You trust that witch over your own sister! Could it be you have feelings for her? Don't forget, you're already married to Yvette." Selena said with a dark expression, unable to comprehend Xavier. Xavier's eyes turned cold, fully aware of his marital status.

Boarding the plane heading overseas, Yasmine gazed at the white clouds outside the window. For this competition trip, Carter granted her paid leave to participate, while Winston temporarily handled her duties at the counseling office, assisting students.

The Dekker Competition was held at Saint's Haven Hall, and the organizer had booked an entire hotel nearby for participants. Yasmine was staying in a room on the second floor. The setting was cozy, with everything necessary for writing papers, including a computer. The month-long closed-off paper writing competition has begun. To ensure that each participant competes fairly and justly in this essay contest, they are required to send their drafts to the proctoring team every day. This includes all the data used later, the process of model building and calculation, which aren't part of the final submission, but must also be sent to the proctoring team.
