Come With Me

Chapter 196 An Unexpected Incident

As soon as Xenia finished her words, she stopped in a hurry and corrected herself, "No, it should be this Luo Family..."

But before Xenia could say anything, Nancy patted her thigh and stood up. "Well, this girl has a bit of backbone. Jasmine, remember your own words. You will never marry into the Luo Family."

Glaring at Xenia, Rosie mouthed a few words to her.

With a look of regret on her face, Xenia looked at me. I clenched my fists and said, "Okay, I promise you, I won't..."

"Jasmine..." Xenia called out my name anxiously.

I turned around and smiled bitterly at her. In fact, I should have expected this result.

Rosie said anxiously, "Mom, aren't you afraid that my brother will be angry?"

"What do you know?" Nancy glared at Rosie and said scornfully. She then continued, "I'm doing this for the sake of your brother. I know how deep the relationship between Michelle and your brother was. How is it going now? Your brother has got bored with her. No matter how unhappy your brother will be, it will be a short period of time. He won't have much freshness towards Jasmine. Let's go now!"

Then Nancy turned around and walked towards the door.

Rosie stood up too. She walked to me and said apologetically, "I really didn't know my mother would say that. Please don't take it to heart. I'll persuade her again."

After saying that, Rosie followed her out.

It was not until the two of them left that Xenia stamped her feet and spat at the direction of the door.

"With such a mother-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't marry into the Luo Family. You will suffer a lot if you marry her son."

Xenia let out her anger and then looked at me with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Jasmine. I said something wrong just now, but it's not what you said. How could she be sure that it was your own intention? And, why did you agree to her just now? Don't you really want to marry into the Luo Family?"

I looked at her with some helplessness on my face. "Even without Nancy's obstruction, do you really think I can choose to marry into their family?"

With a surprised look on her face, Xenia asked, "Jasmine, what do you mean?"

"Xenia, if what you said to me is right, do you think I should marry him?"

"No, I... What did I say?"

All of a sudden, she opened her mouth wide and said, "I'm just making up stories. Don't be influenced by my nonsense..."

I was not in the mood to listen to her words now. I went upstairs and locked myself in the room.

My phone rang at an inappropriate time. It was a call from Erwin.

I answered the phone and heard Erwin on the other end of the phone asking me angrily, "What happened? Why there are so many news reports about you? Give me an explanation!"

"Don't think that all these things will be over if you keep silent. I can accept that you have Robbie as your boyfriend. I have patience, but I don't like women who are in love with two men at the same time! If someone slanders you, tell me who he is and I'll kill him..."

My voice was a little powerless. "No one slandered me. I am a woman of easy virtue, and you don't need you to like me. This is my true face."

"Damn it! If I keep messing with a woman like you, I am not a man!"

"You'd better remember what you said today."

As soon as he hung up the phone, a harsh sound came from the other end of the line.

In these days, I had experienced another dark period of my life. There were more and more denunciations of me on the Internet, and even many people called for banning my career as an actress. The abuse from netizens was even more offensive and harsh.

Although Xenia didn't allow me to see all kinds of reports about me, I could tell from her mood these days that things might be more serious than I imagined.

The time she spent with Vann had also been reduced, and she had been very busy shuttling back and forth between the two of us.

As for Robbie, he hadn't shown up these days, but in the past few days, I was still troubled by what Xenia had said to me. It's more that I didn't want to admit it than I couldn't figure it out.

In the past few days, I received messages and phone calls from Rogelio every day. He told me not to worry and asked me to give him some time. He would definitely deal with this matter and let the storm pass as soon as possible.

Rogelio told me not to be affected by these things, but I was sure that he must be very tired of dealing with these matters now.

Things went on until the fourth day, and the heat was still not reduced. Suddenly, a news popped up in my mobile phone.

When I saw the title, I couldn't help opening the link to the news.

The news said, "According to some information, the board of directors of the Ivey Group demanded to cancel all the endorsement of the movie star Jasmine, thinking that her image had affected the good image of the company, but this matter was strongly objected by the president of Ivey Group, Rogelio. Rogelio hasn't clarify the relationship between him and Jasmine. It seems that what is said in the news report is true. Amy's life is no longer in danger, but she is still under observation in the hospital..."

After knocking on the door for two times, Xenia came in and said, "You can go downstairs for dinner."

With my phone in my hand, I looked at Xenia who came in and said, "Xenia, you can go to the Ivey Group and tell them that we want to terminate the cooperation with them."

Xenia stepped forward and grabbed my phone. "I told you not to look at the news. Why didn't you listen to my words? It was Rogelio who didn't solve the problem well. Why did you take all the blame? These two brothers are of the same character. When this kind of thing happened, none of them showed up to solve it. As a result, you can't even go out."

Then she looked out of the window again.

"What? Is there any reporter waiting outside?"

"They haven't left for a long time. If you go out, I'm afraid you can't move at all. You must be questioned by those annoying reporters." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, Xenia sighed, "In fact, it's good that the two of them don't show up at this time. Otherwise, there will be another hot news."

"How is Michelle?"

"Bah! Don't mention it. I'll be angry if you mention it," said Xenia angrily.

"What's wrong?"

"In fact, I don't want to tell you this, or you will be angrier. I just heard her two assistants chatting when I went to the hospital this morning. They said that there was no wound on Michelle's wrist, but she acted as if she had been severely injured. She had been lying on the bed for several days. I think I should really give Michelle a reward. She is really good at pretending. She pretended to commit suicide and made you suffer so much. But she herself won the sympathy of the whole world. The number of people who supported her increased by several million overnight. Your popularity, which has been accumulated by your work "Spring bud", is almost consumed up."

I curled up my legs and said, "I'm sorry, Xenia. I made you worry about me."

"What are you talking about? We are friends. In my opinion, you are the best friend in my life. Don't say that again."

Frowning, Xenia thought for a while and said, "We can't just let it go. We can't let go of Michelle, or let that evil mother-in-law be satisfied."

Then she stood up and said, "You go downstairs to have dinner. I have something to deal with and I will go out."

"Where are you going?"

Taking a look at me, Xenia said, "It's none of your business!"
