The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2255 He Lied to Me

Yasmin stood there with red-rimmed eyes. She looked so pitiful, which made her seem even weaker and paler than before. It might also be because of fear. When Yasmin saw Nicole, she took a few seconds to think before she recalled who Nicole was.

"Ms. Stanton?"

Nicole nodded. "If you don't mind, can I go in? I brought two friends with me."

She was polite, but it was completely unnecessary.

However, she pitied Yasmin, so she showed her some respect.

Yasmin nodded and stepped aside to open the door.

Camille was a woman, so Yasmin accepted her.

However, Leighton was tall and big, and he gave off an oppressive vibe.

Yasmin did not want him to come in, but when she saw that Nicole had already sat inside, she did not say anything.

She closed the door.

There were only four of them in the room.

Camille looked at Yasmin and seemed to be in deep thought.

Nicole smiled at Yasmin and said softly, "Yasmin, why did you run out of the cruise ship? I couldn't believe it when my brother told me."

"He's your brother? He looked like a movie star that I saw on TV. But he was a bit fierce and wouldn't let me go."

Yasmin said with a dumbfounded face.

Nicole lowered her eyes slightly and explained with a smile, "I'll apologize to you on his behalf. He didn't have any bad intentions. He just recognized the wrong person." Camille coughed from the side, looked at Nicole, and seemed a little anxious.

Nicole smiled in understanding.

"Yasmin, there must be a reason why you ran out and didn't want Mr. Shaw to replace you, right? Perhaps I can help if you tell me the reason."

Nicole looked at Yasmin. Although Yasmin was very protective of Sebastian when they were on the cruise, Nicole could see Yasmin's dilemma and bewilderment.

Yasmin lowered her eyes slightly and clutched her clothes tightly with both hands.

"I don't need anyone's help. I just want to come ashore to check it out. I've come back to life, but he won't let me out and wants me to stay at sea. But I want to live a normal life." Camille could not help but interrupt her.

"A normal life? Don't you feel that your bodily functions are deteriorating? Your organs weren't seriously damaged in the first place, so if you received timely treatment from the hospital, you would have a high chance of returning to normal. But Sebastian replaced all your organs. Based on the results of his experiments, your body would have already rejected the replaced organs. It won't be long before all your organ functions decline and you meet your demise."

Yasmin's face turned pale. Even the corners of her mouth were white.

Leighton looked at Nicole. "You feel lethargic and constantly thirsty, right? Do you also have unbearable pain out of the blue?”

Yasmin was stunned and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

A bit of panic flashed across her face. She quickly explained, "No, no. Mr. Shaw said that it was a normal reaction. As long as I take the medicine on time, I'll gradually get better. I've been taking the medicine every day."

Camille looked at her sympathetically.

"Those drugs are just painkillers. No drugs can solve the pain of incompatibility between the body and gene-edited organs."

Yasmin's breathing became more rapid.

Her complexion was so pale that she looked blue as if she could faint at any moment.

Nicole pursed her lips. "Yasmin, I know that you're very grateful to Mr. Shaw and trust him. But he used you as a human test subject because someone happened to steal your identity, so your life became irrelevant. Sebastian stole this experiment from them, and the only people who can save you now are these two people in front of you. They're the founders of this experiment. I believe it'll do your body good if you cooperate with them."

Nicole could not lie that nothing would happen to Yasmin because she felt uncomfortable lying to someone who was dying.

Yasmin sat there sluggishly. She looked like a puppet, dull and in despair.

"He really lied to me."

She slowly clutched her chest. Her voice was so soft that they could barely hear her.

"I could feel my heart beating differently, but he told me to endure it."

Her tears fell. In the next second, she stretched out her hand and pulled her hair. It was a wig, which she threw to the ground.

The two women looked at her in shock and pitied Yasmin.

The bald woman did not want to hide it anymore.

She was not a fool who blindly believed in others.

Sebastian treated her well, but only as his experimental product because she was useful to him.

He was just like her family back then. When Yasmin dropped out of school and earned money to pay for her elder brother's tuition, her elder brother kept saying that he would repay her. However, when her elder brother got married, Yasmin was kicked to the curb. Her brother even asked her sister-in-law to trick her into the wilderness to get raped.

Yasmin experienced it once and learned her lesson.

However, she was in a foreign country and did not know anything or anyone.

Camille sighed, grabbed Yasmin's hand, and said gently, "Come with us. If possible, we're willing to do our best to help you. Our company created this project, so no one understands the theory behind this better than we do. Your body is already exhausted, and without our help, you'll die soon. The organs inside your body aren't yours, so they won't be able to protect you. I hope that you can cooperate with us. Sebastian stole our results. If we can't replace him, he'll deceive more people like you to conduct experiments. More people will be deceived. Yasmin, we don't have the power to publicize this project, so we must stop it. Otherwise, it'll be a huge problem."

Sebastian was ambitious.

He was looking for the rich elites.

If any one of these people had an accident, it would not simply be a matter of losing money to settle the situation.

It might even involve disputes between countries, and it would be detrimental to their company.

Thus, they must stop Sebastian immediately.

Camille looked at Yasmin nervously.

Yasmin was silent for a few seconds. Her eyes flickered slightly as she was nervous and deliberating her options. "But... He saved me. His project was a success. Would it do him harm if I betray him?"

Yasmin looked at Nicole with difficulty and shook her head.

"I can't do that. At the very least, he helped me before."

Yasmin was troubled and in pain.

Sebastian did use her as a showpiece, but he revived her.

Thus, she could only rely on Sebastian in this foreign country.

Compared with her elder brother and sister-in-law, Sebastian was probably the best person to Yasmin.

Yasmin did not want to betray him.

Nicole pursed her lips, reached out, and pressed on Yasmin's shoulder.

"Yasmin, he didn't help you. He helped himself. He used you to attract a large capital. In fact, you're of no use to him now, so that's why he hasn't looked for you. You can no longer go back on the cruise."
