Chapter 278

With reddened eyes, Irene asked, "Auntie, why didn't he stay with me last night?" The answer to whether it's love or not was obvious. She didn't even have to beat around the bush; she knew Yonas's feelings well.

Daisy shifted her gaze away from Irene, hesitatingly saying, "Ms White, maybe Mr. Russell has some matters to attend to. Didn't he already agree to the thing discussed with our master the other day?"

Irene knew he had agreed, but being forced to agree is not the same as doing it willingly. Although she thought of herself as exceptional, emotions aren't always that clear-cut. She received phone call, "Ms. White, Mr. Russell went back to his place after leaving the White family yesterday."

Hearing this, Irene breathed a sigh of relief, but the next words pierced her with tension, "Around one-thirty in the morning, Mr. Russell went out again."

Before the person on the other end could finish, Irene urgently asked, "Did he go to the Inkwell Bar?"

"Yes, Mr. Russell went to the Inkwell Bar and left with a woman. They intended to take a car, but for some reason, after the woman said something. Mr. Russell decided not to and walked off with her...

Irene was panting with anger, nearly throwing her phone in fury. She struggled to regain a bit of composure, "And then? Where did they go?"

The person on the line paused before continuing, "Ms. White, I'm not sure. I didn't follow them all the way. There were no cars on the road at the time, and they were walking back, which made it hard to follow." "Alright, I get it." Irene closed her eyes tightly. After hanging up the phone, she reopened them, brushing away the worry and fatigue from before, leaving only pure hatred.

Daisy looked at Irene with concern. "Ms. White? What's wrong

Irene shook her head, her face pale as she spoke to Daisy. "I'm fine, Daisy. You can leave now."

"Alright, but call me if you need anything." Daisy left, still worried.

Irene rubbed her temples, furious with Yasmine. Why did this wornan always have to appear in her life? She wanted her gone! Clenching her fists tightly, a sinister plan began to form in her mind. [Is this what love between the domineering CEO and the heiress looks like?]

[I told you they were meant for each other. Don't forget, the Cinderella who married the prince was actually a count's daughter. Even if an ugly duckling turns into a swan, it's because it was always a swan egg to begin with] [Previously, there were always rumors about Yonas and Yasmine in the news. Have you noticed that ever since Ms. White returned to the country, she's the one linked with Yonas now, and Yasmine seems to be out of the picture!]

[Is this really something worth pondering? The stepmother's daughter always gets exposed for what she is. No matter how much she creates rumors with Yonas, as soon as the real deal shows up, she has to step aside!].

Yasmine looked at the comments on her phone with a troubled expression. She couldn't even find anything to refute; they were absolutely right. Irene wasn't an ugly duckling, she had always lived in a swan's nest. She wasn't a Cinderella either; from the start, she was simply a princess who wasn't held in anyone's palm

If she had seen this kind of comment before yesterday, Yasmine might not have cared much, but yesterday, something was different She forgot many things, but she dearly remembered the words Yonas had spoken to Irene.

"Yonas, everyone says that you like Yasmine, not me. They say I'm in the way of your relationship. Is that true?" Irene had asked.

"It's not, Yonas had answered.

Yasmine forgot many things, yet she remembered those two sentences perfectly. They were right; she did look like a clown, having to step aside as soon as the real star appeared. She woke up this morning with her head spinning, suffering from a headache she couldn't quite describe, with no memory of what had happened yesterday.

In Yasmine's memory, after she yelled at Xavier, she went drinking with Lucy. After a night of heavy drinking she lost herself in the haze of alcohol. But what about Lucy?

She got dressed and went downstairs, where she saw Morgan looking at her with gentle eyes, and Geneva had already cooked soup that can help with hangover relief. "Yasmine, come over and finish this soup."
