Chapter 204


    "It would be better if he bit his tongue and just die," she thought viciously.


    When she went for work on Monday, Yasmine identally bumped into Leah at thepany''s


    entrance. Leah looked at her with resentment in her eyes as she held her belongings in her hand.


    Yasmine asked confusedly, "What are you doing?"


    She did not know that Leah had resigned.


    "Stop putting on an act,"


    Leah red at her in disgust and said through gritted teeth, "Yasmine Taylor, I''ll prove you that your


    presence will only bring trouble to President Sebastian. Just you wait and see!"


    Yasmine Taylor was left confused as she stared at Leah''s resolute and retreating figure


    disappearing from the entrance. However, she did not take it to heart. She then stepped into the


    elevator.


    At noon that day, the leader of the research and development team was in a panic upon discovering


    that the confidential documents stored in hisputer had been lost. Those were the result of their


    hard work for the past two months. The office burst into an uproar at once. Yasmine was the most


    agitated. In order to get the products on the market as soon as possible, she had been called a


    fickle woman by Sebastian Simons!


    "Aren''t all the documents encrypted? How could they disappear?" "How would I know! My whole


    computer is encrypted, not to mention the documents. We''re dead meat! How am I going to exin


    this to President Sebastian!"


    The leader of the development team was annoyed and he was pulling his hair out as he spoke. He


    was so anxious to the point that he was going insane.


    "Does anyone else know the password to yourputer?"


    "Yes. President Sebastian''s secretary, Leah, knows the password too."


    Leah...


    Yasmine''s face paled in horror, "Oh no, Leah left this morning. It seems she has resigned!"


    "What?!"


    Her colleagues were even more devastated and they cried out in despair. While everyone was still


    talking about it, Yasmine rushed into Sebastian''s office with rage.


    She mmed her hands on Sebastian''s desk and shouted with a sullen face, "Don''t you know who


    you hire as your employees? Do you not check their backgrounds properly before hiring them?"


    "What''s wrong?"


    Sebastian raised his head and asked calmly.


    Yasmine snapped, "Leah stole the information of our new product. She left this morning. You need


    to find her quickly!"


    She thought that Sebastian would be furious upon hearing the news, but she did not expect him to


    still keep his cool. He said, "What''s the big deal? If she steals it, then let her be. Now you can go to


    Gabriel and tell him the honest truth."


    Yasmine was fuming and it almost made her blood boil. "How could you still make a joke like this at


    this moment? These new products determine whether yourpany would stand a chance to


    expand internationally. How could you have such an uncaring attitude towards this matter?"


    "Don''t worry. Even if she stole it, she might not even disclose it to the people in the same industry.


    How could a businessman be afraid to take any risk at all?"


    "If she didn''t want to disclose it to others, then why did she steal it? To eat?"


    When she thought of Leah''s venomous gaze and what she said this morning, Yasmine was


    absolutely frightened. Was it really because of her presence that led to Sebastian being betrayed?

    All of a sudden, she felt dread in her heart.


    The more they were worried about it, the more it was going to happen. Three dayster, apany


    named Pegasus Corporation suddenly announced that they would be holding a press conference


    on their new line of products for the market.


    What Yasmine could not tolerate was that the person in charge of thispany was udine


    Tucker.


    Leah leaked the confidential information to udine, someone whom Sebastian regarded as his


    arch-nemesis.


    Yasmine was going bonkers. Sebastian''s attitude was still indifferent as ever. It turned out that as


    long as Yasmine could draw a clear line between her and Gabriel, he did not care about the


    sacrifices he had to make.


    udine was one step ahead in listing the products for sale. Everyone in the research and


    development department was bemused. On the day the confidential documents were leaked, the


    president did not immediately put the products on the market. Instead, he just watched as others


    stole their hard work and did nothing. To be honest, they were really dissatisfied and upset.


    For this reason, Yasmine had been indifferent to Sebastian for three days. She could not ept him


    disregarding everyone''s efforts due to his selfishness.


    One day, Sebastian suddenly called Yasmine to his office and said, "I''m taking you to a ce."


    "Where are we going?"


    She asked grumpily.


    "You''ll know once we get there. I guarantee you''ll be happy."


    Yasmine did not want to go, but still, she wanted to know what Sebastian had in store. She


    eventually followed him.


    When they arrived at the destination, she realized that Sebastian took her to the venue of Pegasus


    Corporation''s press conference.


    Looking at udine''s cheerful face, Yasmine was furious. She turned around and was about to


    leave when Sebastian grabbed her in her tracks. "The show hasn''t started yet. Why are you in such


    a hurry?"


    She held off her temper for a bit longer. Just when she was disheartened, something unexpected


    happened. The products disyed in udine''s press conference werepletely different from


    those designed by Yasmine and the others. In an instant, she was astonished and confused. The


    names of the products were exactly the same, but why were the productspletely different?


    What surprised her more was that in the middle of the press conference, a group of policemen


    rushed in to arrest udine formercial fraud. Yasmine then understood that the new product


    line that udine had released was actually existing products that had been registered and


    released by anotherpany four years ago. It was also at that moment that udine knew she


    fell for Sebastian''s trap.


    She followed the policeman out of the door. When she brushed past Sebastian, she gritted her


    teeth, "I took a wrong step this time, but do you think you can ruin me like this? You''re


    underestimating me. Just you wait and see!"


    On the way back, Yasmine harbored mixed feelings. She turned to Sebastian, "What on earth was


    that? I did not understand what just happened."


    "This is just a trap I set up. udine was mostly in France before this, so she doesn''t know much


    about the local market. The products she released today already made waves in the country four


    years ago. It''s just that she was too eager to defeat me, so she didn''t check clearly before releasing


    them." Yasmine was baffled at his exnation, "So, Leah doesn''t know about this?"


    "How could she not know? She was just carrying out my orders."


    Yasmine remarked, "If udine gets out of trouble this time, she certainly won''t let her go easily."


    "Leah will be overseas in a few days. Even if udine''s still mad, she''lle for me. She won''t


    waste her time on a person who has lost their value."


    "Why did you provoke her? She''s not easy to deal with."


    Her question had unknowingly revealed the concern she had for him.


    "If she had not taken advantage of Abigail''s stupidity two years ago, we would not have ended up


    this way. Also, let''s not forget about my father''s death. That day, the surveince footage of the


    hospital showed that she was thest person to enter his ward. Less than half an hour after she


    came out, the nurse found that my father had passed. Do you think my father''s death has nothing to


    do with her?"


    Yasmine did not say anything else. When she thought of what udine had done over the years,


    she thought she was truly evil and detestable.


    "But she''s been forming wide connections in the business circle over the past two years, I''m afraid


    we can''t do anything to her now," Yasmine said worriedly.


    "I know I can''t do anything to her, but after this incident, her reputation would be ruined in the


    business world. I''ll find my own ways to destroy a person who had ruined my family." Sebastian


    answered.


    Her colleagues were overjoyed when they heard of the good news that Yasmine had brought back.


    Sebastian came to the research and development department to apologize. "I''m sorry to have


    created a false rm for everyone. I''ll be treating everyone to dinner tonight to lift your spirits."


    Oh yeah!


    Amidst the cheers, Yasmine''s eyes met with Sebastian''s. There was a trace of gentle and warmth in


    his gaze that tingled her heart.


    After dinner that night, the group ended up in a nightclub. They knew well that once they finished


    eating, they still had to sing their hearts out. They sat in a spacious private room. Yasmine was


    chatting with a female colleague. Suddenly, a waiter came in and handed Yasmine a note. She was


    quite surprised as she fixed her eyes on it. After that, she got up and went out.


    She went to the neighboring private room and opened the door. There was only one person inside.


    It was Leah who had left her the message.


    "Why don''t youe and hang out with everyone?"


    For some reason, after knowing that Leah had not betrayed Sebastian, Yasmine was not hostile


    toward her anymore.


    Leah answered, "There''s no need for that. I''d just like to say a few words to you alone. After that, I''ll


    leave."


    Yasmine sat down and asked, "What is it?" "I want to say that I hate you very much. I hate that you


    suddenlye back to our lives just like that. I also thought of bing like Abigail and destroy


    your rtionship with President Sebastian. However, after thinking about it, I decided to let it go.


    After all, Sebastian has helped me a lot. I can''t be ungrateful to him. More importantly, I don''t wanna


    fall into a miserable mess like Abigail. No one can hope to defeat true love."


    After Leah finished, she breathed a sigh of relief, as though a weight had been lifted off her


    shoulders. "Well, I''m leaving tomorrow. I''ve finally finished what I want to say. I wish you happiness,


    although I''m still a little reluctant to ept it."


    She smiled, spun around and walked away in pride.


    Leah was a smart woman. She would not blindly pursue things that did not belong to her. She knew


    that true love could not be vanquished. Sadly, Abigail could not understand that. Hence, her efforts


    were destined to be futile. In the end, she hurt others and herself.


    Yasmine was in a good mood and decided to reward Sebastian when they get hometer that night.


    The "revolution" had not yet seeded, therefore the patriot" still needed to work hard. As she


    walked off, she clenched her fists, "You can do it, Yasmine."
