Chapter 789: Scandal Breaks Out


    If Bridget has said it earlier, Jasmine would definitely contradict her in a hundred ways. But today, after


    seeing that jarring news, she has nothing to say.


    "You don''t fit to each other. I know you''re unconvinced. You think you can be better through efforts


    and deserve to be hispanion sooner orter, right?" Every word Bridget says seems to shake her


    heart. "No. They don''t need you to be excellent. Stop it, for yourself."


    Hearing that, Jasmine would rather Bridget call and scold her.


    These words are like strong acids, slowly disintegrating the power that is corroding her. Perhaps in the


    eyes of others, her self-righteous persistence and courageous choice are ignorant and reckless.


    She is only twenty years old and is not strong enough to endure it all. All her poweres from


    Pehry''s persistence and love for her.


    Now that she sees him so close to another woman, her power instantly disappears. She doesn''t know


    how to carry on.


    Jasmine is very scared and afraid of losing this rtionship. She is afraid that he would really change


    his mind and that Bridget''s words would one day be reality.


    Therefore, she does not refute, as if she is escaping something. She quickly hangs up the phone after


    a few words.


    Bridget''s voice fades away, but Jasmine cannot calm down. Instead, she bes even more terrified


    and helpless.


    She used to swear to Bridget that Pehry is pretty nice and even contradict her. But after seeing the hot


    news and the ambiguous photos on the web page, Jasmine is really a little afraid.


    She is afraid that all her persistence would end up failing her and it''s just her wishful thinking.


    Jasmine can only try to console herself that she shouldn''t panic before hearing his exnation with her


    own ears.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She didn''t trust himst time. This time, no matter how pressured she is, Jasmine ns to wait for his


    exnation.


    She waits from afternoon untilte at night.


    In the dormitory, she lies on the bed and looks at the moon hanging high outside the window. The


    bright moonlight falls on the ground. It is almost dawn, when everyone else is sleeping soundly except


    her.


    It''s already six hours since the press release, but she hasn''t received any phone calls or text messages


    from Pehry.


    Is he still busy?


    Even she herself does not seem to be convinced by such a reason. She knows very well that Pehry


    would definitely be notified as soon as the news is released. Then, why she doesn''t hear from him till


    now?


    Is he waiting for her to contact him?


    Jasmine closes her eyes and her heart is in a mess. Her chest is like a huge container, sealing all her


    emotions, but unable to digest them. The swelling makes her sick.


    Is it that hard to call her and exin everything? Even if he is busy, five minutes is enough, right?


    Unless he doesn''t want to exin it to her at all.


    Just as the thought urs to her, the phone under the pillow suddenly vibrates. She hurriedly picks it


    up and finds it is Pehry.


    Jasmine pulls her coat over and slips out of the dormitory. To avoid being caught by the supervisor, she


    opens the corridor windows as wide as possible and keeps her voice as low as possible.


    "Hello?" She answered the phone and said softly.


    Pehry is still in the Red Club. This is his first timeing to the Red Club since he has taken over the


    family business. But he feelspletely different now.


    Hearing her tender voice, he instantly feels relieved and says, "Still awake?"


    Jasmine swallows her saliva, afraid that he would find something wrong. She calms herself down and


    says, "Yes, I''m just chatting with my roommate."


    Actually, she is awake because of the troublesome scandal.


    Pehry surely knows the reason why she hasn''t slept, but he doesn''t mention it. He changes the topic


    and asks, "Did you see the news?"


    Jasmine is a little surprised that he should ask. Perhaps because she has been looking at the photos


    for too long, the scene of the two walking together arm in arm immediately appears in front of her eyes.


    She is a little chocked up. She controls herself and says, "I saw it."


    Her voice is small, with grievance and disappointment.


    Pehry is very nervous. After the press release, he has been wondering when to exin it to her.


    Thinking of her previous reaction and attitude, he decides to wait for her call. But he doesn''t hear from


    her till midnight.


    Finally, Pehry can''t help but call her.


    He does struggle in his mind. He just can''t exin everything to her clearly. It is better not to say


    anything if he can only tell half the story. So he has to give a seemingly reasonable reason.


    After careful consideration, Pehry finallyes up with an excuse that doesn''t sound so awkward. "Let


    me exin to you about the news. That photo was taken when I was socializing. There''s nothing


    between me and that woman."


    Jasmine bites her lips and remains silent for a while. She asks softly, "And then? Will you two show up


    in the same asion again?"


    She has asked the key question. Pehry sighs deeply, "Yes. I need her to cover me."


    "Cover you?"


    "Mr. Alfred is dissatisfied with you. I don''t want him to focus his eyes on you." Pehry does not tell her


    everything. If Jasmine knows what has happened to him recently, she would definitely me herself.


    That is not what he wants to see.


    But hearing that, Jasmine still can''t hide her disappointment andplex emotions. "You mean ... you


    want to use her to distract attention?"


    "Yes."


    "But..." Jasmine hesitates for a while and asks, "Would Mr. Alfred believe it?"


    "Believe it or not, he won''t be focusing on you anymore with someone else in front of his eyes."


    Hearing that, Jasmine feels bad. Thinking about the future, she feels an unprecedented pressure and


    confusion. "Pehry, will your family never ept me?"


    It is fine to call her childish or naive. But ever since she decides to begin a rtionship with him, she


    has never thought of retreating halfway.


    She wishes to maintain a good rtionship for the rest of her life. She doesn''t want to leave Pehry, at


    least till now.


    She does not want temporary sweetness. But she wants to hold the man''s hand for long.


    Obviously, Pehry knows what she means, but he doesn''t know how to answer for a moment.
