Chapter 79
After dinner, Tiffany suggested, "Yasmine, let''s y cards."
Yasmine agreed without hesitation, "Sure."
She turned her head and asked Sebastian, "Do you want to y?"
Sebastian red at her grumpily and said, "Do you think I will y a children''s game?"
"What do you mean, a children''s game? Dad and mom are ying too. Are you saying that dad and
mom are children?"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Time is gold for me. One minute is worth ten million. I won''t
waste my time ying these boring games with you all."
Yasmine snorted and said, "If you don''t want to y, suit yourself. You don''t have to boast."
Yasmine said to her sister-inw, "He doesn''t want to join. So let''s y."
Sebastian went upstairs. Yasmine sat at the marble table in the living room with her sister-inw
and her parents-inw, and they started ying. She seldom yed this game so, naturally, she
was not skillful. After having yed for a few hours, she lost many rounds.
Beep, beep. Her mobile phone showed a text message notification. She nced at it: "Have you
lost all your money in the game? Come back to sleep if you''ve lost everything." "How did you
know?"
She quickly replied. She put all the me on Sebastian, thinking that he must have been cursing
her. That was why she lost so much money.
Losing money was not a big deal. The key was that her mother- in-w was getting more and more
excited. Looking at her daughter and daughter- iw yawning, she said, "All of you, wake up! I''ll let
you go to sleep when you win all my money."
Yasmine was so worried. Madam Simons was an expert at ying cards. Wanting to win Madam
Simons'' money was like squeezing water from stone; it was impossible.
It did not matter to her sister-inw, because she liked ying cards, though she had been losing
the whole time.
"It''s because you''re so stupid that you don''t even know how to swim. How could I not know whether
you''re losing or not?" Sebastian replied to her text.
"I''m stupid just because I can''t swim? I have a lot of strengths that you don''t know about."
Sebastian sent a mocking expression and said, "What else can you do except reading and
teaching? You silly."
"Only fools fall in love with silly people."
Titus Simons could not open his eyes since long ago. Seeing that Yasmine kept sending text
messages, he could not help but protest, "Let''s focus on winning her money so we can finally get
some rest."
Yasmine scratched her head awkwardly. "Oh no, don''t count on me to get sleep tonight."
M heard this and got even more excited. Sheughed and said, "It seems that I am invincible in
this family. Next time let''s not gamble money. But whoever loses must be obedient and do whatever
the winner says."
Tiffany retorted grumpily, "Even if we didn''t gamble with money, who in this house dares to go
against you?"
"Your brother, does he listen to me?"
"He''s not a human being. He''s an alien from Mars."
Yasmine could not help butugh and sent a text message to Sebastian: "Your sister said that you
came from Mars."
"Are you ying cards or speaking ill of me? I''ll give you five minutes toe back to sleep," he
texted back.
She sent an aggrieved expression. "It''s not that I don''t want to go to sleep. I actually really want to
sleep. But mom said that whoever doesn''t win her money cannot leave. I can''t do anything about it."
After a while, the clock on the wall struck twelve. Yasmine had already owed Madam Simons a lot of
money when Sebastian came down.
He walked to Yasmine casually, pulled a chair and sat down. Yasmine asked doubtfully, "Ten million
dors a minute. Can you waste your time like this?"
"Concentrate on ying your cards."
He said this to her and then looked at his sister. "And you, too. Focus." Yasmine was quite focused
at first, but when Sebastian sat next to her, she could not concentrate anymore. She simply yed
the cards in her hand. Looking at the cards, Sebastian could not help but touch his forehead and
sighed. He whispered in her ear, "With your skill, you will lose all my property very soon."
"You should y if you think you''re better,"
Yasmineined depressedly, and she yed even worse.
"Hey, brat, your wife owes me a lot of money. Can you pay it back for her?"
M nced at her son and raised her eyebrows proudly.
Sebastian took out a stack of cash from his wallet and asked, "Is this enough?"
"Almost."
After one round, Sebastian patted Yasmine on the shoulder and said, "You,e here."
"What''s the matter?"
Yasmine was a little confused and did not quite understand what he meant.
"Let me show you how a master ys."
Ah, she sneered and said, "A master you said. You lost your wife to someone else."
When the family heard her words, they was stunned at first and then asked, "When did you lose
your wife to someone else?"
Sebastian replied grumpily, "I did it on purpose okay?" "Oh, okay."
They did not dare to question further after hearing his reply. Sebastian started to y with his
parents on behalf of Yasmine. Yasmine did not expect that Sebastian would win the first round.
Thereafter, he won the second and third rounds. Except for M, everyone else was very happy
because they could go to sleep soon.
By the sixth round, M lost all her money. She pped the table reluctantly and said, "I''ve run out
of energy tonight. Let''s continue tomorrow night."
Yasmine went upstairs with a stack of cash in her arms and said with a smile, "If you go bankrupt in
the future, you can start all over again by gambling."
Sebastian snorted disdainfully. "It''ll be the end of the world if I go bankrupt."
"But why haven''t you gone to sleep yet?"
"Who can save you if I was asleep?"
"Don''t mention it. Your mother is really good at it."
When Yasmine thought of the shrewd look on M''s face, she felt a headache. "But, you''re better."
"Haven''t you heard? No parents in the world can defeat their children."
"That''s true."

She took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, Sebastian
was already lying on the bed. She jumped onto the bed and immediately fell asleep. Sebastian
pushed her and said, "Hey, are you going to sleep just like this?" "What else can I do?"
"What do you think..."
Yasmine waved her hand semi-consciously. "How would I know? I only know that I''m tired and
sleepy."
"Then why do you think I waited for you until now?"
Sebastian was already excited. He slipped his hand under her pajamas. Yasmine could not help but
moan, "Stop, I really don''t have the strength."
"How can you be so tired after just ying cards?"
"Don''t forgetst night..."
Sebastian wanted tough, but looking at her tired face, he could not bear doing anything to her. He
gave her a peck on her forehead and said, "Good night, sweetheart."
Early the next morning, when Yasmine got up, Sebastian had already gone out. She quickly called
him and asked, "Hey, when did you leave? Why didn''t you wake me up?"
"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn''t want to wake you up."
"Then I''ll go to thepany to find youter. There''s something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"It''s regarding the Florida project. Didn''t you agree to give it to my father? Can you let me sign the
contract with him?"
"Okay."
Sebastian paused for a moment before he continued, "The contract is in the drawer in the middle of
my study. You can take it directly."
"Thank you, dear. I''ll get it signed and send it to thepany."
"Okay."
Yasmine hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief. It was not toote to confess to
Sebastian after she destroyed the evidence in Linda''s hands.
The evidence against her was just adding fuel to the fire. She would never let Linda destroy her
happiness easily.
After washing up, she came to Sebastian''s study and opened the drawer in the middle. There were
many documents in it. She read them one by one. Suddenly, she saw a picture at the bottom of the
drawer. When she picked it up, she saw a photo taken of three people together. The one on the left
was Sebastian, the one in the middle was Abigail Tanner, and the one on the right... on the right...
She covered her mouth in surprise and stared at the man carrying a guitar on the right. Wasn''t that
man Ethan Rowling, the busking band leader she met in Paris a few days ago?
How could it be him? How could it be him?
Yasmine copsed on Sebastian''s chair and her hand, still holding the photo trembled. "Could this
man be Sebastian''s cousin, Ethan Zordon? The one who took Abigail away?"
Ethan Zordon... Ethan Rowling... It must be him! She covered her mouth again, her heart beating
violently. The world was so big, but how did she meet Sebastian''s missing cousin? She was at a
loss. What should she do? Should she tell Sebastian that she had met Ethan?
Yasmine fell into deep struggle and hesitation. She had never dreamed that she would meet a
person whom she should not have met in Paris. So, if Ethan was in Paris, did that mean that Abigail
was also in that city?
What would happen if she told Sebastian? Would he go there to find her? He would definitely go.
He was a proud man who had been betrayed by his beloved woman and his closest brother. He
would definitely go there if he wanted to seek justice for himself...
But what would happen after he went? What would happen to him after he saw Abigail? Would his
firm heart waver like the time when he was removing the tattoo?
Yasmine had never been so worried. After thinking for a while, she decided to confess to M and
hear what M would say.
When she came downstairs, M was listening to an opera with her eyes closed. ''''Mom,1'' Yasmine
called softly.
M opened her eyes and asked gently, "Yes?"
"I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I met someone in Paris, when we were there."
"Who?"
M''s face darkened slightly, as if she had a hunch about the words she was going to say.
"Your nephew, Ethan Zordon." "How are you sure he''s my nephew? You haven''t seen him before."
Yasmine told her how she met Ethan, and then told her about the photo she found in Sebastian''s
study. After Yasmine finished, M sighed deeply.
