She winced in pain, eyes wide, clutching her face as she confronted the woman in front of her, "Joy, did you seriously just p me?"


    "Of course, I did, you idiot!"


    Joy red down at her, her eyes cold and piercing. "Who told you it was okay toe back? Who said you could sneak back without talking to me, and even try to mess with Selena?"


    Yasmine and Joy''s rtionship was all about using each other. Yasmine never really saw Joy as a true friend, so she didn''t bother telling her about her ns this time.


    "I don''t owe you any exnations."


    Yasmine got back on her feet, shooting daggers at Joy with her eyes. She felt she had finally found her footing and didn''t need to lean on Joy anymore.


    After all, Joy had spilled every little detail about their past dealings, and Yasmine knew she couldn''t backtrack and report to Everett or Selena. Her betrayal was already a done deal.


    It was a lose-lose situation.


    Unlike Yasmine, Joy had to keep up a good image and persona around them. She couldn''t afford to let that fall apart.


    Joy stepped up, grabbing Yasmine by the cor, and pped her again.


    "If you did something today, you''re done for!"


    "What nonsense are you spouting?" Yasmine struggled.


    Joyughed at her naivety. "Do you think Selena is as clueless as you? She let you do your thing before, but now she''s suddenly challenging and provoking you. From what I know about her, she wouldn''t pull this without a reason."


    "She must''ve picked up on something and wants to catch you. I told you to stay abroad to dodge trouble, but you rushed back at the first chance."


    Yasmine felt a pang of worry at Joy''s words but didn''t fully buy it.


    "Are you just trying to scare me? You just don''t want me back, don''t want me near Mr. Everett. Don''t think I don''t get it now, Joy. I''ve pieced some things together."


    She shoved Joy''s hand away.


    "You''re Selena''s best friend, yet


    you''re working hard to break up Mr. Everett and Selena. There''s only one reason a woman would go to such lengths!"


    "And that''s because you shamelessly have feelings for your best friend''s husband!"


    "Because you can''t have him, you''ve gone twisted and obsessed, backing me just to split them up!"


    ...


    When Yasmine''s car pulled up at the campus, ine discreetly nted a tiny tracker under her car.


    After linking up with ine, Selena hopped into his car, and they tailed Yasmine all the way to the resort.


    Cruising around the parking lot, they spotted Yasmine''s car.


    ine said calmly, "I''ll find out which room she''s in. She wouldn''t drive


    here


    meeting some vel?


    define for nothing; she''s


    After he finished speaking, Selena stayed quiet, her gaze fixed on a car ahead.


    Curious, ine followed her eyes but couldn''t figure out what she was seeing. "What''s caught your eye?"


    Selena replied, "That car looks kinda familiar. I feel like I''ve seen it before."


    ine paused, "Could it be... your ex-husband''s car?"


    If it was, it would confirm that Everett was secretly helping Yasmine.


    Her heart would be shattered all over again.


    Selena shook her head, choosing not to exin.


    Just then, ine''s phone buzzed with a message. He said, "I


    out which room she''s in. Let et


    catch her in the act!"
