Chapter 286

Donna glanced reluctantly at the emerald brooch, keeping up her pitiful act. "Morgan is really nice to you. I wish I had a big brother like him." she sighed.

Yasmine chuckled, "Well, you might just have to keep dreaming because your mom can't exactly conjure up a brother for you. Unless, maybe your dad..." She paused for effect. "Just kidding."

Donna's temples throbbed as she fumed internally, 'How could she speak about my father like that? She never used to be like this, but she'll regret it soon.

While Donna was checking out the jewelry, Yasmine slipped into the fitting room to examine her dress. The seam on the back waistline was coming undone. It was fine for now, but in another thirty minutes, it would split open, leaving her utterly mortified. Quickly, she grabbed another dress with a similar pattern, thinking back to how she had just made Donna You get what you give, she thought.

As they entered the private box, Yasmine realized why Donna had gone through so much hassle. Inside, apart from the two of them, was another person-Caleb Mayfield. He was the same guy she had met at the Sanchez residence, the sole heir of the Mayfield family. "Ms. Sanchez, here we are again," Caleb said, standing up and extending his hand for a handshake.

Yasmine shot him a cold glance, "Hello, Mr. Caleb," she thought, If I had known he would be here, I wouldn't have come.

Yasmine admired the performance; everyone in Soucrity praised Brielle's work. She wanted to enjoy it quietly, but the other two in the box seemed to have other plans.

"Caleb, give this a try," Donna said, placing a pastry in front of him with a shy smile. She didn't forget to turn to Yasmine "Yasmine, you should have some too."
