Chapter 284 

Grady was struggling to completely trust Irene; his mind was restless and uncertain. 

“Grady, why don’t you trust me anymore?” Irene asked, her voice tinged with disappointment. 

Grady was mulling over Yonas’s remarks. He probed again, “Honestly, is all this because you want to marry Yonas? Are your grandfathers discussing the engagement already?” 

A chill flickered in Irene’s eyes. Denying it now would be pointless once the engagement was official, and her patience had worn thin. “Yes, I already told you. Yasmine was right; Yonas is the one I like. So, what’s next on your agenda? Going to the police to get me locked up?” 

Irene burst into laughter. “Grady, you’re really acting like a kid. Do you think the police would just believe you because of what you said? Where’s your evidence?” 

Grady’s face turned pale as Irene kept going, “Don’t be silly. You don’t have a shred of evidence, while I do. I have the surveillance of your meeting with Yvette. Whatever you two cooked up has nothing to do with me.” 

Grady’s expression darkened. He knew Irene was right. They had only used their phones to discuss their plan, and even when they met, recording was never on his mind. He never thought Irene would use this against him. 

At that moment, Grady suddenly realized Irene seemed like a stranger. She was no longer the cheerful girl he knew in high school. Now, her smile was unsettling. “Irene, you don’t…” 

“Don’t what? Grady, you didn’t think I had a thing for you, did you?” Irene purposely lowered her voice just for Grady to hear. 

Grady let out a loud laugh, “I was such an idiot, thinking you actually liked me and wanted to be with me. If you’re so sure of yourself, why didn’t you cut to the chase earlier?” 

Irene spoke in a cold tone, “At first, I didn’t know how much Yasmine told you. But now I get it–you’ve already told her everything. There’s no point in keeping up appearances with someone you can’t benefit from. You’re a businessman; you know how this works, right?” 

Grady gave a bitter chuckle, “I understand.” 

On the weekend, when Yasmine walked into the old mansion, she realized the gathering Ivette had mentioned wasn’t at the Sanchez residence but at the Mayfield family’s. The moment she stepped in, she was greeted by a sea of unfamiliar faces. 

Ivette hurried over, smiling warmly. “Yasmine, finally! We’ve been waiting ages for you.” 

Yasmine wondered to herself, why is she waiting for me? “Aunt Ivette,” she greeted as she walked into the old mansion. 

“Yasmine, come here! I want you to meet some people,” Ivette said, pulling her into the parlor. “Everyone, meet Yasmune. Isn’t she stunning?” Ivette smiled as she gestured to a striking girl in the crowd. “This is my niece, Donna White. I think you two will hit it off.” 

Before Yasmine could reply, Donna sneered, “Aunt Ivette, you’ve got it wrong. I’m still in college, while she’s already married 

and divorced. We live in different worlds.” 

“What nonsense are you spouting? Someone next to Donna gave her a light smack on the head. “Don’t be upset. Yasmine. She’s been pampered all her life. By family ties, you should call me aunt. 

Yasmine nodded, even though talking to this person wasn’t anything she was eager to do they had no real connection Bur she did it for Aunt Ivette. After her parents passed away, Uncle Jared and Aunt Ivette were incredibly kind. Ivette nudged her

towards the group, and though Yasmine felt a bit awkward, she kept a neutral expression. 

Donna walked ahead, followed by the rest of her cousins. It was clear she was highly regarded in the Mayfield family; everyone treated her like the star of the show.

“Yasmine, right? I’ve heard your name before. There’s a rumor going around that after your divorce, you started dating Yonas. But now, I’ve heard that you two have broken up. Don’t take it too personally. After all, it’s Irene, and, understandably, Mr. Russell would choose her over you. Let’s be honest, a divorced woman is often seen as… well, less respectable.” Donna chuckled, covering her mouth as her companions joined in, mocking Yasmine. 

Yasmine sat there calmly, sipping her coffee, not bothering with the people around her. “Why did I even come here?” she thought, feeling regretful. Supposedly, she was here to help, yet hadn’t contributed anything and was unjustly criticized instead. As laughter filled the room, her forehead wrinkled slightly. “Donna,” she warned, “this is the Sanchez residence, mind your words.” 

“How dare you talk to me like that? Do you really think you’re still the princess of the Sanchez family? Your parents passed away long ago, and now it’s Aunt Ivette’s family home. It has nothing to do with you. Be thankful they’re even feeding you.” Donna shot back. 

Smack. A sharp slap echoed as Donna’s face turned red. Yasmine, her eyes bloodshot with anger, couldn’t believe she mentioned her parents. “You actually hit me?” Donna looked at her in shock. Meanwhile, her companions had already gone to get help. 

Donna’s eyes filled with tears. “How dare you hit me? I’m telling Auntie; I’m telling Christine!”
