Chapter 181
Yasmine froze on the spot. She looked at Effie, "Was it you?" Yasmine stared at Effie in disbelief. Even though she
didn't want to believe it, she had no choice.
Effie glared at her furiously. "You've got sskills. Elvis has only known you for a few days, and yet he's willing
to risk missing the presentation to save you. | really underestimated you."
Yasmine let out a self-deprecating laugh, "Seems like | trusted the wrong person. When | heard something
happened to you, | went looking for you without a second thought, Effe. Just because he talked toa bit
more?"
Effie sneered, "Just a few words? Are you kidding me! You clearly know I like him, yet you still discussed things
with him right in front of me. Do you know how much | hate you!"
"All we discussed was the thesis, nothing else," Yasmine frowned slightly.
"Who would believe that You were all smiles and laughs, and then you try to foolinto thinking it was just
about the thesis," Effie replied.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask him. But | guess it's not just because of him, is it? Yasmine looked straight
into her eyes.
you."
Effie wasn't scared at all. "Your thesis is excellent, everyone praises you, and | clast. Of course, Elvis would
choose y "You're crazy," Yasmine no longer wanted to argue. "I'm going to report you for lockingup. Mistakes
have consequences"
She turned to leave, but Effie blocked her way. "You're not allowed to gol"
"Effie, didn't you think about this day when you did what you did?" Yasmine said coldly.
"It's clearly your fault," Ettie said, her face pale. "You flirted with Elvis. | was just teaching you a lesson."
Yasmine didn't have the tto listen to her excuses. She just shoved Effie aside and headed out.
Seeing her determined steps, panic started to rise in Effie. Even without winning a top spot, she managed to get
into the Dekker finals. But if Yasmine reported her, her achievement would be revoked, turning her into a
laughingstock. No way! She couldn't let Yasmine report her! "You can't got You mustn't!" Effie chased after her.
Yasmine had already reached the person in charge when Effie finally arrived. To her surprise, Elvis brought the
person in charge over directly. Yasmine listened to Elvis and the person in charge discuss how she was locked
inside, and Effie also overheard. Effie was stunned in place, her face full of despair as the person in charge
approached her
"Ms. Sanchez, Elvis toldyou were locked in before the presentation, is that true?" the person in charge asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYasmine didn't deny it. "Yes."
"We need to investigate this thoroughly. If necessary, we will report it to the police. Ms. Sanchez, please come
with me," the person in charge said with a serious look in his eyes. « that?"
Effie stepped back, realizing that Elvis was looking at her differently. "Elvis, why are you looking at me
ne like u "Ms. Lynch, it was you, wasn't it," Elvis said calmly.
This calmness only caused Effie mare distress. She shook her head and denied it, "It wasn't me! It wasn't mel
"No matter who did it, the truth will cout, Elvis said as he averted his gaze and left the scene.
Effie stared intently in the direction where Yasmine had left, forcing herself to calm down. She had to stay calm:
the more panicked she became. the worse it would be.
She wanted to return to her country, but the presentation results hadn't been announced yet. Leaving now would
only raise suspicions. Yet there was no guarantee that Yasmine wouldn't say something-in fact, she certainly
would.
Effic rushed back to the hotel, panicking. She stayed in her room for a long tbefore she finally couldn't resist
going to find Yasmine. They'd met several times before, but it was their first encounter that was so awkward.
Effie was silent, not knowing what to say. It was Yasmine who broke the awkwardness, "What do you want to say!
"Did
you
talk to the person in charge...
- Libe asked
"No, | didn't mention your name. They'll find out eventually, Yasmine said with a cold and distant air.

Effie gave a bitter smile, "Thanks, | messed
up
"Effie, we're not friends anymore. If you cfor forgiveness, you might as well leave, Yasmine said coldly,
moving to close the door. Not telling the person in charge it was Effie's doing was the last thing she would do for
their friendship, but from now on, they were strangers, "Yasmine, can you cwithto a place? Please."
Effie pleaded.
Yasmine looked at her puzzled. "Where to?"
Effie gave a bitter smile, "Actually, someone else gavethe idea. Don't you want to know who?"
Yasmine frowned, "Who is it?"
"You'll know once you cwith me, Effie said, leading Yasmine to the hotel's garden, which had a pond and a
pavilion
Once there, Yasmine didn't want to walk any further, "Why did you bringhere?"
"Isn't it nice here? There's a pavilion and a pond," Effie said, slowly walking to the edge of the pond
"So, who is it?" Yasmine asked.
"Do you know why I chose to be friends with you" Effle said out of nowhere.
Yasmine furrowed her brows slightly. There's no point in saying this now, if you don't speak up, I'm leaving
"Because you're truly great" She paused and then continued, "I really like Elvis, and you shouldn't mess with
him."
"If this is what you were going to say, then I'm leaving "Yasmine turned, about to leave.
Effie suddenly called out to her, "I was too foolish earlier, thinking of plotting against you. If given another
chance, I'd definitely choose a more clever way."
"What do you mean?" Yasmine's heart skipped a beat.
"Someone's coming. Efic said
