Chapter 0247

I watched as cars continued to pass by us while Yasmine’s sighs kept getting louder.

“I won’t allow you to lower your head against that bastard. If push comes to shove, we’ll just contact Silas. He had been your mentor once. I doubt he’ll sit back and not lend a helping hand, right?”

I collected my gaze and turned to look at Yasmine. “Don’t go to him for help.”

Yasmine’s expression was filled with reluctance.

After a moment of silence, she said, “I know Silas took care of you because of Pete, but Pete isn’t reliable! It’s been so many days, yet he hasn’t shown his face!”

I reminded her softly, “This has nothing to do with him.”

My mind was filled with worry at the mention of Pete. it had been more than a month since I last saw him. His family has probably restricted his freedom, and the person behind it was…

“How does it not have anything to do with him? Isn’t he pursuing you? How can he not make any moves?” Yasmine was infuriated, and she didn’t hold back with her words.

She continued, “Nicholas is also a piece of trash. Why didn’t he treat you so well when you were with him? If he had treated you half as good as he’s treating Jasmine-”

My voice was impassive as I interrupted her.

“Yasmine! How Nicholas wants to treat the people by his side has nothing to do with me. Don’t mention his name in front of me again. Also, I’m not in a relationship with Pete either.

“And no matter who I end up

with in the future, I’ll be with them because I love them. It won’t have anything to do with who he is and what he does.”

“Alright. I get it. You’re looking for true love. The way I see it, I just think you

t

Turven’t suffered enough. The world can be past black and white, and not everything in abueline Power and inflorece are also part of a man’s appeal.

“Yeah yeah you’re right. Since you’re knowledgeable, why don’t you ge out and date someone instead?

Yasmine was at a loss for words.

In truth, it wasn’t Nicholas‘ first time resorting to such tricks. He had also used it on me before. If I hadn’t sold Jones Corporation, I would still CEO in name

He just needed to move his fingers to pull something like that to pamper and spoil whoever he wanted to

I didn’t fully believe in true love. It’s just that after being with Nicholas, didn’t think that there was anything on earth worth sacrificing myself for

Rather than love, I say it’s because I’ve seen through life. No man would be more reliable than myself.

I turned to Yasmine and discussed something with her. “From now on, i want to focus on building my personal brand online.

Back then, I needed popularity as I wanted to knock Claudia off of her pedestal. But the plan had changed too quickly. Nicholas had always been unpredictable

After a change of plans, I had planned to fade away from the eyes of the public, but Nicholas and Jasmine kept putting me at the center of public discussion.

Since that was the case, I might as well use it to my own advantage

“That could work. He can limit your work, but he would not be able to control what you do and say online. We’ll hold a meeting tomorrow and see what we can do to turn you into the firm’s brand.

Yasmine’s energy was ignited by my words. She finally smiled and said, ”

er to keep your spirits up when you get down the car. First sions are important!”

“Alright.” I smiled faintly.

Yasmine patted my shoulder and said, “You’ll need to drink if you want to make your way up the ladder. Stay by my side later and don’t get separated.”

It was normal for people within the industry to trample over the weak and flatter those in power. Now, whenever someone saw me, they would be eager to insult me to gain Jasmine’s favor.

If they did manage to gain Jasmine’s favor, they’d earn a small fortune, and would not be a big deal if they didn’t either. So, no one would stand up for

  1. me.

Yasmine was scared I’d get hurt again and would probably glue me to her side if she could. However, I never thought I would meet Jasmine at such a small gathering.
