The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 249

The next day at noon, Yasmine Taylor went to Lily's school. She called Lily Adams and asked her out.

They met up in a cafe right opposite the school. Lily was surprised that she had suddenly returned. "Why did you come back so suddenly?"

"Why didn't you tell me the truth when I asked you if anything had happened to Sebastian?

Lily looked a little taken aback. "He told me not to tell you. He was afraid that you would be worried."

"What the h*ll is wrong with Claudine? Why did she choose to kill herself?"

"The result isn't out yet, so we can't be sure it was suicide..."

"Lily!" Yasmine was shocked. "Do you also think that my husband has something to do with Claudine's death?"

It was not until she repeated Sebastian's words that she realized how hurtful this sentence could be.

"Yasmine, I trust you, but it doesn't mean that I trust Sebastian. You are my friend, but he is nothing to

me.

Yasmine was upset. "The reason I asked you out today is that I want to know whether Claudine had looked for you guys before she died. Did she say anything to you?"

"No, she never met with me." "What about Scott?"

"I'm not sure about that."

"Did you ask him?"

"He's pretty upset about everything that has happened. How could I bear to ask him such a question?"

Yasmine frowned. "Could I come over to your house tonight? I want to talk to Scott. He's not answering any of my calls right now."

"He asked me not to contact your family a few days ago. I'm afraid..."

"Lily, you are the type of person who chooses rationality over emotions right?"

Lily bit her lip and pondered for a moment. "Well fine, I won't tell him. You should just come over tonight. If I inform him in advance, he will definitely refuse to see you."

"Thank you..."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Yasmine asked the driver to take her to the Jules' family after dinner. Lily had already received her call in advance, so she stood at the door and waited for her. She got out of the car and walked straight to her friend's side. She asked quietly, "Is he home?"

"Yes. Come with me."

She followed Lily into the living room and made a turn into Scott's study. Lily knocked on the door and said, "Scott, there's someone here to see you."

She winked at Yasmine, "You can go in."

Yasmine pushed the door open and walked in. She glanced at the man sitting in front of the laptop. She hadn't seen him for months and he looked very haggard. She couldn't help but sympathize with him. Claudine's death was indeed a great blow to him.

"What are you doing here?"

This was the first time Scott Jules had spoken to her in such an indifferent and cold voice.

"You know why I'm here."

"If you want me to provide evidence that would help your husband to get rid of the suspicion, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"I'm not asking you to give me anything. I just want to tell you that you can't bring a person back to life. You can't just hate someone just because you can't accept some facts. Yes, Sebastian forced your mother to a dead end. But have you ever wondered why Sebastian fought against her? Do you know what your mother has done? Honestly speaking, she deserved to die. From what I understand, she was not killed, nor did she kill herself. She used death to atone for her sins because that's the only way she could erase all the sins she had committed. However, it is regrettable that she still managed to push all the blame to Sebastian even though she is dead."

"Get out," Scott ordered with a pale face.

"You better think about it. I believe you are a rational person."

She turned around and walked out of the study. The moment she closed the door, she heard the sound of Scott smashing a cup. She and Lily, who were standing outside the door and waiting, were shocked. Lily said anxiously, "I'm screwed. Scott will definitely vent his anger on me later."

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

"Oh, no worries."

Lily shook her head dejectedly. "By the way, could you hold on for a minute? I've prepared a gift for your babies. I planned to give it to you when you're back in the country. Since you're already back now, I'll give it to you right away."

She went into the bedroom, took out a red brocade box, and muttered, "Your family doesn't lack money, so I think this is an appropriate gift for your babies. I hope that you would like it."

There were two pieces of high- grade jade in the brocade box. One was the shape of a star and the other was the shape of a moon. The two pieces of jade were put together like a complete sky, with stars and moon...

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Yasmine's gaze shifted to her friend's abdomen. "Lily, are you pregnant?"

Lily nodded, "Yes, I am."
