Chapter 224

The day before the land auction. Yasmine met with Yvette. After Their last conversation, Yvette no longer felt afraid when facing Yasmine. With everything laid out in the open, the worst ise scenario was just ending up in jail.

Yvette ordered an iced Americano, but Yasinine stopped her, "If you're pregnant, it's better to just have some water"

"Thanks." Yvette was a bit surprised. She could see the clarity in Yasmine's eyes, free of any animosity. "I misunderstood you before."

"What?" Yasmine was a little surprised.

"I always thought your coldness towards Xavier was just an act of bravery. I heard a lot about you from Helen and mom. I believed you were deeply devoted to Xavier, and it seemed impossible for you to give up so quickly. Whether your aloofness and distance were real or fake, I thought he always had a place in your heart. It seems I was wrong," Yvette chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Yasmine didn't respond to her remark; she wasn't there to chit-chat with Yvette. She got straight to the point, "Are you and Xavier also attending tomorrow's land auction?"

Yvette thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Do you have a piece of land you want to buy?"

Yasmine nodded, "Emerald Isle."

"No wonder, everyone in Soucrity is going crazy over an Emerald Isle. I've heard that this time Mr. Ellis didn't raise the land price on purpose. In fact, he lowered it by five percent. He is truly a person not driven by money," Yvette remarked thoughtfully. A gleam flashed in Yasmine's eyes. "That's really something. Is Xavier also planning to buy Emerald Isle?"
