Chapter 20
At Murray Manor, Yasmin was crying. She was utterly humiliated at yesterday’s banquet. First, she
embarrassed herself ying the piano, and. Then Wilson further exacerbated her disgrace.
Now, she was theughingstock among the socialites. It was all Yvette’s fault.
She should have been the one to impress everyone with her no ying, receiving all the praise
and admiration, but Yvette had stolen it all. Yasmin felt nothing but resentment. Her eyes were red
and swollen from crying. When Sean hurried back and saw her, he was taken aback.
“What happened to your eyes? Who bullied you?“”
Seeing Sean, Yasmin immediately had a lightbulb moment.
She continued to cover her mouth and sob softly while shaking her head, “Oh, Sean, you’re back.
No one bullied me. Let me get you a ss of
“Why would you cry if no one bullied you?” Sean frowned. His voice was full of arrogance as he
said, “Tell me. I’ll avenge you!”
He wanted to know which blind fool dared to mess with the Murrays. Did they think he, the Jubilife’s
tyrant, didn’t exist?
Yasmin sobbed and changed the subject, looking utterly pitiful “Sean, you must be tired from your
trip. You should rest first.”
Impatient by nature, Sean only grew more curious. “I’m not tired. Just tell me who bullied you.”
Seeing him like this, Yasmin subtly smiled, but her face remained aggrieved.
“Sean, no one bullied me. I’m just too weak. At the banquet yesterday, I was supposed to perform
with Yvle. But she changed the sheet music without telling me. I wasn’t prepared, so I made
mistakes and embarrassed our family. Now those socialites are all mocking me behind my
back.”
Her words dripped with grievance, and sure enough, Sean was furious. He threw all the carefully
chosen g
gifts aside. “She’s too much! I won’t give her these gifts! Where is she? I’ll deal with her!”
Yasmin knew his character well. He had a strong sense of justice and couldn’t tolerate any
wrongdoing.
Werte would be in big trouble this time.
Though feeling smug inside, Yasmin kept her face calm and spoke softly, “Yvie didn’te back
last night after going out. I don’t know where she went… But I’m too scared to ask her. I don’t want
to annoy her.”
“What? She didn’te back all night?” Soan grew even angrier. “She just arrived in Jubilife and
doesn’t know her way around. What if she meets some bad people? No, I have to find her.”
“What do you want to find me for?” Before Sean could finish, a cold female voice interrupted.
Yvette casually removed her helmet. Her face was expressionless as she strode in
When her beautiful eyes met Sean’s, he froze momentarily, feeling, a strange sense of familiarity.
He quickly suppressed the emotion after

reminding himself that he needed to teach her a lesson.
Sean cleared his throat. Just as he was going to reprimand her and make her apologize to Yasmin,
Yvette frowned.
Her gaze was fixed on his stance. “Stand up straight.” Her tone was calm, yet it carried an
undeniable authority.
Instinctively, Sean straightened up, standing as tall and straight as a soldier. When he realized what
he’d done, he wanted to p himself.
He was the older brother. Why did he listen to her? Now, he had lost all his brotherly authority.
was that damned familiar sense of authority that made him obey without thinking. But why did her
voice sound so familiar?
