Rebirth 117
She nervously looked at Yonas, wondering if she had said something wrong. "Well, you can go out now," Yonas said.
After Harper left. Yasmine glared angrily at Yonas. "Just now, what..."
"What did I do just now? Did you hearwhat she said?" Yonas asked, looking at her with a meaningful expression. He even licked his lips, which only made Yasmine more embarrassed and angry. She propped herself up and turned away from him, refusing to look at him. It was too humiliating. They were seen kissing, and the nurse even thought they were lovers. Her face was burning red, much more than a simple fever could cause.
What made it even more frustrating was that Yonas walked over with a smile, clearly amused by the situation. Knowing full well how difficult it was for her to turn over, he just stood there, watching her struggle. Frustrated, she reached out and slapped his shoulder with a loud "smack. The sound startled even herself.
"Why didn't you dodge?" she exclaimed.
"It didn't hurt," Yonas replied with a faint smile, no longer teasing her. He then took a call. After hanging up, his expression turned a bit grim.
Noticing the change in his face, Yasmine asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone took Louise's daughter," Yonas replied, his face darkening. after
Yasmine was stunned as well. Helen had just been arrested, and now Louise's daughter was taken away. She didn't expect Xavier would act so quickly. Considering how shameless the Flynn family was, she thought they would probably come her soon.
Sure enough, just as the sun began to rise and Yonas had stepped out, Xavier arrived at the hospital with Selena and Yvette. Compared to their arrogant demeanor in the infirmary on the day of the competition, Selena now looked pale and angry.
"Please leave! I'll call security!" Yasmine weakly threatened.
Yonas wasn't there. He had gone to get breakfast.
"Yasmine, don't drive us away in a hurry, Xavier pleaded urgently.
Selena rushed to Yasmine angrily and pointed at her nose. "You bitch! Last time, you got Helen thrown into detention, and now you've heartlessly sent her to prison. I think you just want to ruin her. Do you hate our family so much? Why don't you just take my life instead?" e looked at them wearily, the noisy confrontation making her headache worse. The nurse should have come in by now, but it was clear that Xavier must have arranged for them to be left alone.
Yvette also spoke up, "Ms. Sanchez, the reason you hate the Flynn family is because of me. I sincerely apologize, so please, just let Helen go."
"You are so heartless! Helen is so young! She's still just a child," Selena cried out.
Yasmine sneered. "Xavier, I never saw through your true colors before. I used to think you were just ignorant and numb, but now I realize your entire family is so shameless."
Xavier remained silent. Looking at Yasmine's pale, haggard face, he couldn't help feeling a pang of guilt. When he confronted her in the infirmary last time, he admitted he had acted too impulsively, but he never regretted it. However, sering Yasmine in such a state now, he realized that he shouldn't have come today.

"Yasmine, it's Helen's fault. She shouldn't have hurt you,
Xavier aid with a bitter smile.
Selena was displeased and snapped, "What are you talking about Helen is innocent! I've long noticed that you and Yonas are in cahoots, deliberately teaming up to go against us. That Louise must have been bought off by you."
Yasmine let out a cold laugh. "Xavier, you know better than anyone whether or not I bribed Louise. Early this morning, her daughter was taken away, and you know exactly who did it. But now you've brought your whole family here to confront me, Don't you feel ashamed?" Yvette noticed Xavier's reaction and felt a surge of anger, thought she kept it hidden.
"You're the shameless one! Shame on you! We came here to reconcile with you. Don't you want money? We already gave you so much money and even a house. Isn't that enough? How much more do you want to let Helen go?" Selena snapped at Yasmine.
"That money was what Xavier owed me. As for reconciliation, I won't agree to it," Yasmine replied firmly.
Selena stepped closer and sneered. "Do you really think your refusal matters? Don't fool yourself into thinking the Russell family will protect you forever. How could someone like Yonas fall in love with you? He's protecting you now because he wants to play with you. Yasmine, don't overestimate yourself. He's never even acknowledged you publicly
"What are you talking about to my girlfriend?" a cold, sharp voice cut through the tension. Yonas walked in with breakfast, and after placing it on the table, he went straight to Yasmine's side. He looked at Selena and added angrily, "It seems the Flynn family has gotten a bit arrogant these past couple of years. Have you secured that deal with EverPeak?"
Xavier felt a sharp pang at Yonas's words. EverPeak was an international company that had been pushing into the domestic market over the past two years. Initially, they partnered with Russell Group, but recently, they've been looking to add another partner. Xavier had hoped to secure that partnership, but he hadn't even managed to meet with them. "Not yet," he admitted.
However, Selena only fixated on Yonas's first words as he entered. "You two are dating?"
"Yes, Mrs. Flynn. Is there a problem with that?" Yonas narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xavier felt a surge of frustration and looked at Yasmine. 'Why didn't she deny it? Is it really true?" he wondered.
"Mr. Russell, this woman was unfaithful after marrying my son. She's not worthy of your affection," Selena said arrogantly, casting a disdainful glance at Yasmine.
Yonas's gaze turned icy as if he were looking at a dead person. 'Mrs. Flynn, as far as I know, Xavier never fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband after marrying Yasmine. In fact, his heart was always with Ms. Grant. So, who do you think is really the one unfaithful?" "Mr. Russell, let's discuss this matter with Yasmine directly," Xavier said, meeting Yonas's gaze without backing down for the first time.
"I was the one who rescued Yasmine, so I'm a witness. Of course, this matter concerns me," Yonas said, stepping in to block Xavier's view of Yasmine.
Xavier clenched his fists in anger. "Yasmine, is he really your boyfriend?"
Yasmine raised her head and looked at Yonas, whose gaze was gentle and peaceful. She smiled at Xavier and said, "Yes. You can talk to him if you have something to say.
"No way! Did you go after him?" Xavier's brow furrowed deeply, struggling to comprehend how and when their relationship had developed.

win her over."
Yvette looked embarrassed. She tugged at Xavier's sleeve and urged, "Xavier, hurry up and talk about Helen's situation. We can't waste any more time."
Yonas's voice was stern as he said, "If you came here to reconcile, then you settlement. Xavier, do you really think I'll continue to tolerate this?"
leave now. We're not agreeing to any
"Mr. Russell, that's not what Xavier meant. Of course, it would be best if we could come to an agreement, but if you don't agree, we won't force it," Yvette said with a forced smile, quickly pulling Xavier to leave. Although Selena was furious with Yasmine, she didn't dare to offend Yonas. After all, he was the CEO of Russell Group.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
