She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 456

When Lyra returned to the Fairchild estate, Delilah noticed how frail she looked. "Has work been too demanding lately?"

Lyra shook her head.

"Kayla wants to go back to work, but with the two newborns, I think the babies should be her priority."

"Right," Lyra agreed with a nod. Kayla Harrington used to be a university professor.

"Mom, I'm going to go see the babies."

She was just about to head upstairs when her phone buzzed with several photos of her crown. Even though Jasmine had so despicably pushed her into the path of an oncoming truck not long ago, those pictures compelled Lyra to meet with her again.

Jasmine had merely been testing the waters, but she hadn't expected Lyra to take the bait so quickly. It seemed Rowan hadn't given the crown back yet.

Tracking Jasmine down at a local café, Lyra approached with a frosty expression. "What exactly do you want?"

"Help me, and I'll give the crown back."

Surprisingly, Jasmine was taking a softer approach.

Lyra found it completely bizarre.

Jasmine had always been an incredibly proud, arrogant woman.

"Are we still talking ten million dollars?"

"Yes."

But this was no longer just about the money.

Refusing to ask for a dime would only make Lyra suspicious.

"How am I supposed to help you?"

"Get me into his bed."

Lyra's pupils contracted as she recoiled, sheer disbelief washing over her face. A moment later, the shock melted away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of disgust and absurdity.

She stared at the woman across the table, an icy smirk curving her lips. Her voice dripped with mockery. "Jasmine, have you seriously thrown away the last shred of your dignity just to get what you want?"

"You've already seen me at my lowest anyway, haven't you?" Jasmine's lips twisted into a bitter, ugly smile, resentment burning in her eyes. "That day it was raining. You stayed in his luxury car while I stood outside getting soaked. Remembering that must make you feel pretty good about yourself, right?"
