The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 66

"Welcome, President Sebastian."

A fat man came up to them diligently. He reached out his fat hand and shook Sebastian's hand. Obviously, he was the organizer of this party. Judging from his clothes and temperament, he had some social status.

"This is the young madam, right?"

"Yes, I am. Nice to meet you."

Yasmine politely reached out her hand and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not call her 7th Madam, otherwise, she would be so embarrassed.

After greeting each other, the fat man talked with Sebastian about business matters. Yasmine was bored, so she found a quiet place to sit down. She was observing the people at the party while drinking champagne.

In the dense crowd, she saw a sharp look in the eyes belonging to a woman, which was full of jealousy.

She thought that although Sebastian was notorious, he should also have some admirers. She consciously moved her eyes away so as not to cause any trouble.

However, to her surprise, the woman slowly walked towards her.

"What's the matter?" She raised her chin and asked calmly.

"Don't you know how to stand up and talk to me when you see a senior?"

"Senior?" She frowned and said, "I don't know you, do I?"

The woman snorted and said, "Even if you don't know who I am, you should stand up and ask, 'Who are you?' instead of rudely asking, 'What's the matter?', right?"

Yasmine smiled grumpily. It turned out that this woman was looking for trouble. However, she still did not stand up. "If you think you're at a disadvantage when I'm sitting here while you're standing, then you can also sit down. You can't find a place to sit in such a big place?"

"Oh, you're good at talking. No wonder everyone is saying that Sebastian has met his nemesis. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I'm seeing it with my own eyes, I believe it."

As expected, this woman came for Sebastian. When people were unlucky, they would choke, even on water. Yasmine did nothing but trouble still came to her.

"Miss, you've mistaken. I'm not Sebastian's nemesis. To be precise, I'm the person who is ending the streak of his short marriages."

"Shameless."

The woman suddenly showed a ferocious look and said with a grin, "Nobody can end that streak. Don't think that you can do anything just because you've got a pretty face. Didn't your mother teach you to know where you should stand?" "Did your mother teach you? If she did, you won't come over and make a fuss out of nothing!"

With a swoosh, the woman splashed the glass of champagne in her hand onto Yasmine's face. Yasmine was shocked for a moment, but she did not back down. She made a counterattack and splashed the champagne in her hand on the woman's face as well.

Perhaps the woman had never been humiliated like this before. She stretched out her hand and wanted to slap Yasmine, but her hand was firmly held in the air. She turned her head angrily, and when she saw the person who stopped her, she caved in~

"Sebastian..."

"Raelene Ferguson! How dare you touch my woman? Are you tired of living?"

It was only then that Yasmine realized this arrogant woman was called Raelene Ferguson, but she still did not know her.

"Sebastian, she's your woman, but am I not your woman? Do you know how she talked to me?"

"You deserve it no matter how she talked to you. Get out of my sight now, I don't want to see you, not even for a second."

How could Raelene tolerate such a blow? She suddenly burst into tears and said, "I'm your ex-wife after all. How can you be so ruthless to me even though our marriage is over..."

"I don't think there's anything between us now."

Sebastian did not hesitate to refute her.

"What's so special about this woman? Is she more beautiful than me? Is she more capable than me? Or is she more kind-hearted than me?"

"She's more beautiful than you and more capable than you. More importantly, she is smarter than you. Take this as an example, if both of you swapped positions at this moment, she would not have created any trouble for you like a shrew, because she knows that this will only make me hate her more. As for you stupid woman, it's ridiculous for you to talk to me about love when you've made a fool out of yourself."

Raelene suffered an even more severe blow and humiliation. She glanced at the crowd and rushed out while covering her face with her hands. Before leaving, she looked at Yasmine with a hateful look, which made Yasmine shudder.

Sebastian was not in the mood to stay in the hall after such a scene. He leaned over and whispered to the woman next to him, "Do you want to go home?"

Yasmine nodded heavily. "Yes."

On the way back, Yasmine was silent. Sebastian glanced at her from time to time and said, "Just say it if you have any dissatisfaction."

"Which one was she?"

He was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Wasn't that woman your ex-wife? Which one was she?"

"The third one, oh no, the fourth one."

Yasmine's face darkened. "This will happen frequently in the future, right?" After all, he had had six wives before her. This meant that apart from Raelene Ferguson, there were five more whom she had never met.

"No, it won't."

"How can you be sure?"

"Among my ex-wives, Raelene is the only one who is most unreasonable, so she's also the only woman who has been slapped by me."

Hearing this, Yasmine was relieved. Based on her current situation, dealing with Linda was already giving her a headache, she could not deal with any other people anymore.

As they arrived at the Mansion House and got out of the car, Yasmine's mobile phone rang. When she saw that the number was Richie's, she said nervously, "Go on in first, I'll pick up a phone call."

Sebastian nodded and walked in. Yasmine walked to a hidden place and answered, "Hello?"

"Yasmine, if it's convenient now, come out and meet

me.

"Are you in City B again?"

"Yes."

She head ached, so she pinched the middle of her eyebrows, saying, "It's not convenient for me now. Just tell me on the phone if there's anything."

"Is it really inconvenient?"

"Yes..."

"I guessed so, which is why I came to you on my own. Come out." She was shocked. "Where are you?"

"I'm outside the gate."

Yasmine hung up the phone in a hurry and rushed to the gate. She inadvertently saw a familiar figure just now, she thought it was an illusion but it turned out to be real.

When she arrived at the gate, she looked around and saw Richie standing among the bushes.

"Uncle Richie, why are you here at this hour?"

she asked unhappily.

Richie said with a gloomy face, "Leighton is sick and has been asking to see you. What are you going to do?"

She understood why Richie was looking for her. She was in a bad mood. "Have you taken him to see a doctor?"

"Yes, but it's useless. The doctor said that it's a mental illness, so it can't be cured through medicine."

"I'll go back and visit him this weekend."

"You're just going to visit? You don't intend to stay?" Richie was overbearing.

"The things here have not been settled. Once it's settled..."

"I'll give you ten days to settle it. My patience has been worn thin by you. This is the final deadline. Don't blame me for being heartless then."

Another one threatening Yasmine. She really wanted to explode with the anger in her heart, but she held it in. This was her life, and she was destined to suffer all her life.

"Okay. You can go back now."

With a lonely nod, she turned around and disappeared from Richie's sight.

She lowered her head and kept walking until she bumped into someone. She stopped and asked in a panic, "Why haven't you gone in?"

Sebastian pointed at Richie's looming figure outside the gate and asked, "Was your relative here to borrow money from you again?"

"Yes."

Yasmine answered while avoiding eye contact with him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Where did he come from? Although Henry Taylor is not a rich man, he doesn't have such a poor relative, does he?"

"He's from my mother's side."

"Oh."

He nodded meaningfully. "Then why don't you lend it to him?"

"He's a gambler. He won't pay the money back."

"It's annoying for him to come to you all the time. Just lend it to him next time."

"When there is a first time, there will be a second time. It will be an endless and bottomless pit."

"That's true. If he comes to see you again next time, you can avoid him and let me talk to him directly."

Yasmine took a deep breath and said, "No, no. I can handle it myself."

Being threatened by two people at the same time, one gave her a week, and the other gave her ten days. Yasmine could not be open about her bitterness, and she was about to collapse.

She could not sleep in the room, so she got up and went to Sebastian's room. She put her self- esteem aside and was ready to talk again.

Looking like she had something to say, Sebastian gently patted the seat beside him and said, "Sit down and talk if you have something to say."

Yasmine sat down, twisted her hands helplessly, and summoned up the courage to ask, "You really can't like me?"

Sebastian was stunned for a moment. He felt a little awkward and could not help but ask, "Why do you ask this again?"

"I didn't do this out of sudden. I've always wanted to ask you this."

Sebastian felt distressed when he heard her words, but he could not answer her. He could not say anything to accept or reject her. In his heart, even though Yasmine was strong, there were still times when she was vulnerable. He really could not bear seeing her sad eyes.

Yasmine was a smart person. How could she not see through Sebastian's dilemma? She smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. Since it's so difficult to answer, don't answer it. Pretend I didn't even ask."

She got up sadly, bit her lip, and went back to her room. Tears flowed out of her eyes the moment she closed the door. If her mother was still alive, she would have been disappointed when she saw how useless her daughter was. She would have been very disappointed.
