The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1889

“Yasmine, what about you?”

Yasmine confirmed that the rope was tied tightly and wiped the rain off her face.

“Me? What about me? You have no idea how important you are around here. If

anything happened to you, Boyd would skin me alive. You can’t die on my

watch.”

Saying these words, Yasmine couldn’t help but shiver all over, feeling an

unexpected chill in her heart amidst such a situation.

“I’ll lead the way. You follow.”

Serana nodded vigorously, her earlier trepidation replaced by a semblance of

relief. “Okay, okay.”

Enter title…

She glanced at the rope around her waist, then lifted her eyes to look towards

the mountain through the rain. Confirming that her rope was in their hands, she

finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the earlier nervousness and

caution, she now appeared much more relaxed.d2

A single rope brought about a profound psychological transformation in her. It

was precisely this change that caught her off guard when the unexpected

happened.

Serana’s movements, once cautious, had grown careless.

Since she refused to climb by herself, Jasmine had to move closer, bringing

them both near the precarious branch.

A sudden gust whipped through the trees, and the branch began to sway

violently.

Jasmine’s face turned a shade paler. Gripping the branch for dear life, she

bellowed, “Don’t move!”

The wind raged, the branch thrashing even more fiercely.

“Yasmine…”

Serana watched as Yasmine’s body swayed violently, knowing there was a rope

on herself, she freed one hand to grab onto Yasmine. In an instant, Serana also

lost her balance and let out a scream.

Those holding the rope felt a sudden tug and, instinctively, they pulled with all

their might. A resounding crack split the air as the branch snapped.

When they finally pulled the other end of the rope back, only a nearly catatonic

Serana remained.

The broken branch was still hanging there, but there was no figure upon it. A

buzzing filled Bryson’s head, his body swaying as he screamed, heart-rending,

“Yasmine!!”

Serana jolted from Bryson’s agonized cry, snapping back to reality only to find

nothing but the rain before her.
