The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 65

The dishes and wine were served. Linda poured a big glass of wine for him and said sadly, "Based on my observation, my sister's life is really tough. Don't you know Sebastian Simons? He has had seven marriages, he's so fierce that he constantly beats and scolds her. The whole family doesn't treat my sister as a human. They even asked her to eat leftovers and serve them like a servant. There are several branded cars in the family but they don't even let her touch them. They want her to take the bus to work every day... I can't even bear talking about it anymore. Her life is so miserable."

Chuck drank one glass after another, and he was in a terrible mood. He did not expect his niece to live a life like this. No wonder she was angry with him the other time. She said that her life was already messy enough, so she did not want him to create more trouble for her.

"That beast can't torture her for long."

"Why?"

Linda took advantage of the situation and asked him. She wanted to know Yasmine's secret.

"She will get divorced soon and marry Leighton Lind."

"No way, Leighton is a fool."

"A fool is still better than that lunatic. At least a fool knows how to love her. Yasmine isn't intending to live with that lunatic Sebastian Simons for a long time. Once she's done with using him, she will return to the Lind family immediately. They have made an agreement a long time ago. What's more is that Richie Lind and his wife have already considered Yasmine as their daughter."

Chuck was obviously drunk. The anger in his heart caused him say things that he should not have said.

"Using him? What is she using him to do?"

"Make use of his money, his power, his strength... to bring your parents down!"

Linda's face darkened. This vicious woman really had a plan from the very beginning. She wanted to deal with Taylor family? "Hmph, let's see who will be the one begging for mercy!" Linda thought.

As soon as Yasmine finished work, she saw Linda the moment she walked out of the school gate. Linda was leaning against her sports car and waving at her arrogantly. Yasmine walked over and asked grumpily, "What do you want?"

"Let's talk." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Okay, you go ahead."

"Let's find a place to talk. This place is not suitable to talk about that fool."

Yasmine frowned and said, "If you want to make trouble, forgive me for not having time to accompany you."

She turned around and walked to the side of the road. Linda shouted complacently, "If you don't have time, then I'll talk to my brother-in-law."

Yasmine stopped when she heard that she would look for Sebastian. "Okay, let's go."

She would like to know what fault this good- for-nothing girl was planning to find with her.

Linda drove the car to the cafe where they met last time. As soon as she sat down, she went straight to the point and said, "Leave Sebastian."

Yasmine smiled scornfully. "You got up on the wrong side of the bed? Why should I leave him?"

"If you don't want him to know the purpose of your getting married to him, then you better leave. Otherwise, you will face terrible consequences."

"Do you think it's the first time I've heard a threat from you?"

"I didn't have any evidence last time, but this time, it's different. I have enough evidence to expose your lie."

"Really? Then take it out and let me have a look."

Linda snorted and took out a recording pen from her bag slowly. Soon Chuck's voice came from it. The recording had been processed, and it showed that Yasmine's purpose of marrying Sebastian was not as simple as they think.

Yasmine's face suddenly darkened and Linda smiled with satisfaction.

"What do you think? Will it be interesting if I give this to my brother-in-law and your parents-in-law who love you so much?"

"Despicable."

The word tumbled out of Yasmine's mouth. "Despicable? I learned that from you. Last time, you made a fool of me and my father, causing our family to lose so much money in vain. I'm just doing to you what you did to us."

"You want to threaten me with just a recording pen? Dream on!"

"Just you wait. I'll give you a week to think about it. If you don't leave next week, all the truth will be exposed to the world."

"Do whatever you want."

Yasmine got up and walked away gracefully. When she walked out of the cafe, she could not put on a false front anymore. The sun shone on her face, making her look pale and in despair.

When she arrived at her uncle's house, her aunt was lying on the bed. Her uncle seemed to be a little guilty. He asked in a low voice, "Yasmine, why are you here?"

She put the supplements on the table and asked lightly, "How is auntie doing?"

"Very good. The illness was discovered early, so her condition is under control."

"Come out with me for a while."

She glanced at her uncle indifferently and took the lead to walk out of the house. Chuck followed her and came to a locust tree.

"Have you met Linda?"

"Yes, she asked me out last time."

"What did you say to her?"

"I didn't tell her anything. She knew about Leighton, so she came to ask me." "So you've told her everything you can and cannot say?"

The crickets in the bushes were making loud and harsh noises.

"What did I say?" Chuck asked timidly.

"Don't you know what you said yourself? I married Sebastian in order to take revenge on the Taylor family. As long as I get my revenge, I will leave him immediately and then run into another man's arms. The man is a fool, but he is better than Sebastian, that lunatic."

The more Yasmine spoke, the more she trembled. "Now, Linda has recorded all your words and she's threatening me, just like Richie. If I don't leave Sebastian, she will let him hear the recording immediately."

Chuck knelt down in front of her and said, "Yasmine, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I drank a lot that time, and I really don't know what I said. Linda told me that you were abused in his family, and they didn't treat you right as a human. That's why I drank to ease my sorrow, because I felt sorry for you..."

"That's enough. How could you believe Linda's words? Don't you have a brain? If I didn't have any status in the Simons family, why would I stay there? You don't know anything, you only know how to cause me more trouble!"

Yasmine pushed her uncle angrily, turned around and ran away. God had always been unfair to her. He let her fight the wars alone, and also let her only relatives hold her back, creating more trouble.

When she got home, Sebastian was already home. Seeing that she was a little absent- minded, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

She gave him a meaningful look and shook her head feebly. "Nothing."

In fact, she really wanted to ask him why he could not like her? If he could like her, or even if there was just a little bit of her shadow in his heart, she would not be so distressed and scared.

She pretended to be indifferent in front of Linda. In fact, she was more afraid than anyone else. She was afraid that when Sebastian knew the truth, he would not like her and even hate her.

She also wanted to confess everything to him, but when he rejected her, she had to give up helplessly. Because he did not like her, she had lost the chance to be forgiven.

"Are you free tomorrow night?" he asked.

"What's the matter?"

"There's a business party. I want you to come with

me.

"Oh, okay," she agreed.

Sebastian nodded with a smile and said, "That's settled then. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll go to the school to pick you up and try on some dresses, and then we'll go straight there."

"Alright."

The next afternoon, when Yasmine was packing up in the office, she received a call from Sebastian, "Are you out yet?"

"Right away." She grabbed her bag and ran out, but was stopped by Scott Jules outside the door. "Do you have time tonight? Can you accompany me..."

"Sorry, I have an appointment."

She looked at him apologetically and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Sebastian saw her coming out, he opened the door in time to let her in. When the car started, Yasmine saw Scott's sad eyes through the reflection in another car.

The dress store was located in the busiest area of the city center. When Sebastian took her in, a middle-aged man dressed in strange clothes came up and greeted him, "Master Sebastian, what a rare visitor."

Sebastian nodded and said, "This is my wife. Please pick a suitable dress for her. We're going to attend an important party later."

"Okay, no problem."

The middle-aged man's name was Peter. He was a professional stylist. He could make every woman shine and look beautiful.

Sebastian sat in the hall and waited for 20 minutes. Then, Peter came out with his masterpiece. "What do you think, Master Sebastian? Are you satisfied?"

Yasmine was so shy that she dared not raise her head. Although she was eager to let Sebastian see her beautiful side, she still felt embarrassed because she had confessed her feelings to him.

A trace of surprise flashed through Sebastian's charming eyes, and he praised with satisfaction, "Well, very beautiful."

He walked closer to her and slightly adjusted the necklace on her neck. His slender fingers slipped over her collarbone and Yasmine's heartbeat began to beat irregularly.

"Let's go."

Sebastian reached out one of his arms and she wrapped her hand on it. They walked out of the dress store elegantly. Looking at their backs, Peter sighed, "What a perfect pair..."

When they arrived at the venue, Sebastian parked the car and walked into the hall with Yasmine. Their appearance became the center of attention. The people in the hall looked at them and whispered to one another.

Yasmine faced such a scene calmly. She had gotten used to it since the day she married Sebastian. She would become a special scenery in the eyes of people whenever she was around him.
