She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 404

Just then, the sharp ringtone of a cell phone pierced the silence from the desk. Jasmine took a deep breath, forcing down her surging emotions. The anger vanished from her face in an instant. Without giving Tabitha a chance to utter another word, she pulled the door open and hurried out.

Standing in the hallway, Elara was so startled by Jasmine's sudden exit that she took a step back. "Jasmine..." she called out timidly.

She had never seen her cousin like this. Jasmine's face was etched with hostility and cold distance, as if she had morphed into an entirely different person.

Jasmine ignored her and walked away.

Elara stepped into the room. "Aunt Tabitha, is there really no way to fix this? Rowan used to treat Jasmine so well. How could he just change his mind like that?"

Tabitha collapsed onto the edge of the bed, clutching her chest as a suffocating wave of despair washed over her. "Rowan is too deep. No one can ever guess what he's thinking. No... no, I can't accept this. I have to go see Victoria!"

"I'll go with you, Auntie."

By the time Tabitha and Elara went downstairs, Jasmine was already gone, having left without a word to anyone. Elara accompanied Tabitha to the Jameson Residence.

They swallowed their pride, begging the security guards outside the gates to let them in.

But the guards refused to budge.

When Tabitha tried calling Victoria, her calls were ignored. Victoria had no intention of letting them inside.

When Mr. Lawrence reported the situation, Victoria let out a cold scoff. "Rowan never mistreated her financially. And now they want to come here and demand an explanation? If her family is going to be this shameless, I'd be more than happy to list out the hundreds of millions of dollars in projects Rowan handed them over the last two years."

Mr. Lawrence relayed the message to Tabitha, though he softened the phrasing significantly.

Upon hearing it, Tabitha was left utterly speechless.

Elara's heart sank completely. All she felt was a bitter realization—these wealthy families were ruthless, offering zero loyalty when push came to shove.
