Chapter 140: That Was Close
Jasmine’s POV
After my Meeting with Mr. Chua, I decided to go to the company’s building since I needed to talk to Rhian personally.
After a few minutes of driving, I parked my car and went straight into my office. I saw them busy working on their laptop.
“ Ma'am Jas, I thought you were not coming today,” Erica asked me and greeted me at the same time. I smiled at her.
“ I just forgot something. Where is Rhian?” I asked her what made her look around, but she was not here.
“ Ma'am Jaz, you're looking for Rhian? I saw her go to the inventory room earlier, ma'am,” Ryan answered me. I wanted to call her, but I remembered there was no signal in there. Instead of waiting, I nodded at them before leaving them.
I need to discuss finances. This is rea
Chapter 141: You'll Regret EverythingJasmine's POVI am at the clothes store to buy a dress for tonight's party. Diego and I decided to attend Mrs. Chua's birthday celebration, while David would stay with Cherry for the meantime since it would only take an hour.Diego couldn't come with me to the shop because he was finishing some papers before he attended the party, so I decided to come alone.While I was picking one of their dresses, I remembered what Mr. Chua said. He said that it was a yacht party, so it would be cold there.I couldn't decide what to wear. Maybe a simple dress would do?“ Hi, ma'am. Welcome to the Z Clothes store. How can I help you?” A sales lady approached me while I was looking at the dresses. She was in her 20s and looked new here.I'm actually a regular customer I'm in th
Chapter 142: Take CareJasmine's POVAfter what happened to the clothes store, I felt relieved. Before, she could hurt me while I couldn't defend myself, but now I won't let any of them hurt me again.I decided to go to the nearest restaurant near the shop since I was also hungry. I ordered food that I could finish. I really don't want to waste food. And I'm also a food lover. It's just that I'm always busy, but when I have free time, I eat whatever I want.While waiting for the food to be served on my table, I remembered the saleslady earlier. I remember her being mocked and underestimated by rich people, helpless, who couldn't fight for herself because she knew that she couldn't complain to those kinds of people because if you do, they will make your life miserable.That's actually the biggest problem in society right now. When poor people meet rich people with
Chapter 143: EnjoyJasmine's POVWe're actually going to the party tonight—Diego and I, while David will be left in here with Cherry.I just wore the red dress that I bought in the Z-clothing store, and it's actually great. Diego is wearing a black tuxedo, and it really suits him.We're actually driving now to the event. It was a yacht party, so I'm sure it won't take us too long to get there.“ Mr. Chua actually knows you,” I told Diego while he was driving. He nodded at me.“ Yes, he's really a powerful man. However, aside from that, he is known for helping people in need. “ He said, which made me nod to what he said.“ Do you think that David is fine with Cherry?’ I asked him again. It's just that I'm feeling something strange. I just don't know how to explain it.
Chapter 144: Thinking About What?Jasmine's POVPeople were busy talking with each other while Diego and I were discussing the accident that happened months ago.I don't know why I suddenly asked him about it.“ I don't know exactly what happened that day. All I knew was that maybe I shouldn't have come back home that day. It's just that I have a bad feeling, but it already happened, “ he said before drinking his champagne.“I was so worried that day; I didn't know what to do,” I told him, which made him look at me.His eyes were shining, and he smiled at me.“ You know what?

I chuckled.“ Uh, Diego this is Nathan my childhood friend and Nathan this is Diego” I introduced them to each other.“ I'm Nathan, Jasmine's Childhood friend,” Nathan offered his hand to him.“ Diego, I'm Jasmine Suitor,” Diego told him when he accepted his hand.

Chapter 146: I Don't CareJasmine's POVHe dragged me away from the crowd. He just stopped when we went on a smaller yacht.“ What is your problem?!” I screamed out of my lungs while looking at him furiously. Why did he have to drag me all the way here?!“ I want to tell you something,” he said, which made me even angrier. Tell me something?! Dragging me all the way here?! Is he out of his mind?! I'm wearing heels, and my foot hurts!“ Why don't you just tell it to yourself? I don't care what it is!” I shouted at him. He seemed shocked by what I said.His face slowly became serious while he stared at me. I heard him sigh and put both of his hands in his pockets.I looked around, and it was deemed. It also seems like it's going to rain, and the winds will blow my hair. 
Chapter 147: This Is Your Fault!Jasmine’s POVI slowly turned my back to leave him when I heard him speak.“ Please, don't,” he said and held my hand. I feel like he's not going to change anymore. He will continue to be like this, making other people believe him.He's not like this before. I don't know what happened to you, Travis.“ I'm sorry, Travis. Please just forget about me.” I said and removed his hand. I wiped my tears when I saw someone approaching us.“ Jasmine," he hurriedly came to me and hugged me. He wiped my tears while looking directly into my eyes. I couldn't stop but force myself not to cry, and my tears kept on falling.“ Who are you? Let go of her!” Travis pushed Diego so hard that made him back off.I was shocked because of wh

You're okay” Diego hugged me tight while caressing my back. I couldn't stop crying. I almost died. I saw Travis, Nathan, and Paul staring at me.“ It's okay, you're safe now,” he said, trying to calm me. He fixed my hair while he was looking into my eyes.“ Jeez, stop that Drama now. She's okay. The only thing we have to worry about is how to get out of this Island,” I heard Agatha say. What? Island?I tried to stand up even if I still felt weak. And she was right. We were trapped here.“ No, it can't be. Diego-” I looked at him, and I knew that he knew what I meant. We can't be trapped here. I can't stay here because m
