Chapter
175
In the past, Yasmine had a gentle aura, but now she was sharp, like a porcupine with its quills raised.
Irene's lips curved slightly, it reminded her of the sharp-tongued Yasmine from a few years back. The phone
rang, she picked it up to see it was Yonas. Hey, Yonas."" The voice on the other end questioned sharply. "Where
are you?"
Tm at the cafe," she replied softly.
Yonas's voice e grew sharper. "With whom?"
Irene picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and slammed ut back down. "It's justnow. If you want to know
who | was just meeting, you should already have an idea." "Yasmine?" Yonas gosped.
Irene chuckled, "Yonas, what are you worried about! | didn't tell her anything important, just wished her luck in
the competition."
"You're overstepping Yonas said, his tone frosty
Irene's face darkened as she heard the busy tone on the phone. She stood up angrily and left.
The Flynn family's factory was overflowed with too much stock, and payments were yet to be collected. Although
the assets totaled in the billions. the liquid assets were quite limited. Helen even suspected that the family might
not have even a million available at the moment, and yet Yasmine was asking for 33 million!
Yvette was quite frustrated. She hadn't expected Yasmine to ask for such an outrageous amount. But the real
culprit was Helen. If it weren't for her messing around with that guy and getting caught on camera, none of these
issues would have arisen. Marrying Xavier wasn't just about love for her. it was also about the support from the
Flynn family that would help her family return to its former glory. But now, the Flynn family was struggling. and
Xavier was constantly covering his sister's missteps. "How on earth are we supposed to cup with that kind
of money?" Yvette questioned anxiously.
Selena's face turned red with anger. "No way! You already gave her 30 million dollars during the divorce, isn't
that enough? What about all those houses and cars that weren't even reclaimed? Can't those cover the 33
million?" Xavier looked at Helen with a serious expression and asked, "What do you
think?
Helen thought, Her face was pale. "Of course, | want it back, don't you, Xavier?" she asked, a trace of worry in
her voice.
Xavier sighed, "Helen, have you ever considered how much trouble you've caused the family! | can help you this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime, but remember, it cost us 33 million to get you our of this mess. You're not a kid anymore, right? Do you
have any idea what our family is going through How many more millions do you think the Flynn family can afford
to lose on you?"
"Xavier. | know | was wrong" Helen said, filled with fear about what everyone would think once the video was
released.
Selena, her eyes red with emotion, hugged Helen tightly and said with a pained hear, "Helen, it's my fault for not
being capable enough, letting that awful woman bully you endlessly! What kind of bad karma does our family
have to have gotten tangled up with a troublemaker like Yasmine!"
Xavier laughed out of exasperation, Mom, if it weren't for Yasmine, that video would have already been out
there!
"How can you defend her when she's extorting us! Xavier, don't forget, she only wants that video to get back at
your sister And you still see her as & good person!" Splena said, beyond exasperated.
Xavier's gaze was icy and sharp. He knew that talking to his mom was pointless. He thought. Has she forgotten
that Helen was the one who

Yvette listened to their heated argument, and her head started to hurt. If it were up to her, she would definitely
walk away. After all, that's 33 million dollars on the line. She hadn't even gotten back the 30 million dollars from
before. And the last 5 million she lent to Helen felt like it vanished into thin air. She couldn't possibly bring
herself to ask for it back, could she?
"Alright, talking about it now is pointless, I'll transfer the money to Yasmine, Xavier said.
Helen and Selena hugged each other, crying, while Yvette followed Xavier back to the room.

This time, though, she didn't open the door. The doorbell rang again, and she leaned against the door, raising
her voice, "Yonas, go home. It's tto end this. There was silence from the other side of the door for so long
that she thought Yonas had already left, and she collapsed weakly to the ground, the cold floor stinging her skin.
"End it? What counts as ending it? Never seeing each other again till we're old and gray?" Yonas chuckled

Yasmine's eyes dimmed. Saying it's over and hearing him say it's over were two different things, and her heart
felt a pang. She remained silent, and Yonas continued, "Yasmine, just trustone more time, please? Don't
break up with me." He said the final sentence with resignation.
That door remained shut tightly, and
