LittleNovelChapter 578
Everett's dark eyes skimmed coolly over her tear-streaked face, a flicker of irritation barely visible in their
depths. Still, he let her into his office.
Seated on the sofa, his expression was unreadable, yet he seemed to loom over Yasmine, even as she stood
before him. His charisma was undeniable-a magnetism that could easily captivate any woman. She was utterly
smitten.
Sensing her unguarded stare, he lifted his eyelids, his gaze icy and faintly mocking. Yasmine's heart skipped a
beat, snapping her back to reality. She wiped away her tears, pulled a house key from her purse, and stepped
forward to place it on the coffee table. "Mr. Everett, | was out of line with the whole engagement party idea.
You've been so good to me, pullingout of my troubles and always looking out for me, but I let my feelings get
the best of me."
"I spent last night tossing and turning, realizing that unrequited love is just a burden. | can't lean on your
kindness anymore. You don't oweanything."
"I'll move out of the villa and stay out of your way. And... | know you waited three years for Mrs. Bennett, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnow that you can finally be together, I'm genuinely happy for you. | wish you both all the happiness."
She forced a smile, bowed slightly to Everett, then picked up her cardboard box and turned to leave. As she did,
something slipped from her bag, unnoticed, landing softly on the carpet.
Everett remained impassive. Yasmine's newfound awareness saved him the hassle of addressing the situation.
He glanced at the key on the table, picked it up casually, and as he moved to his desk, he stepped on something.
Looking down, he saw an expensive jade pendant. He bent to retrieve it, examining it with growing recognition.
This pendant felt so familiar, like an extension of himself. Everett's eyes narrowed as he flipped it over, finding a
small engraving: "Bo."
It was indeed the jade pendant he
had lost! Given to him as a baby to help with his weak heart, Joshua had it specially made, and it had always
hung around his neck, warding off illness. It vanished after a countryside accident.
Post-heart transplant, his memory was hazy, and he couldn't recall if he
lost it or gave it away. How did Yasmine cto have it? She always claimed she was from the countryside, but
he never thought much of it.
Could she be linked to the girl who saved him? Everett's dark eyes deepened as he clenched the pendant in his
hand.
Downstairs, Yasmine approached the sports car parked at the curb, opened the door, and slid into the passenger
seat. Turning to the woman behind the wheel, she said, "I did everything you asked."
The woman nodded, started the engine, and floored the gas pedal, sending the car speeding away. An hour later,
they pulled up to a rundown old neighborhood.
Yasmine now had no choice but to
return to her former home. The
noisy surroundings, the sketchy characters, the cobwebbed
corners it all made her wrinkle her
nose in disdain. eR forgotten
