Chapter 30 Anger

“That’s awesome. He even has a car.” Another security guard said, “Heck, we’re all security guards. Why is there such a huge difference between us and him?”

A third security guard asked, “Hey, Jonathan. I have a driver’s license, but not a car. Can you let me borrow yours for a drive?”

Jonathan immediately tossed his car keys to him and smirked. “Go ahead. I’m not going to ask for anything else, but drive safe.” The security guard who asked to borrow Jonathan’s car happily agreed. There wouldn’t be any consequences even if he wrecked the car.

On the other hand, Donald was more composed. He said to Jonathan, “The CEO called. She wanted me to tell you to go to her office once you’re here.”

Jonathan was a little startled. Then, he said, “Okay, Donald. Got it. I’ll go there now.”

He patted Donald’s shoulder and went on his way. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

When he entered the office, Yasmin was the only one there.

Yasmin and Jessica were always inseparable in the office. So, Jonathan found it odd that Yasmin was alone.

“Where’s Jessy?” Jonathan asked naturally as he shut the door behind him.

Yasmin looked smart and beautiful in her white suit. She indifferently replied, “Jessy went back to Fairlake with her cousin.”

He sat down opposite Yasmin and asked, “Why does she have to go back so suddenly?”

Yasmin set down the work in her hands and phoned her secretary to bring in two cups of coffee.

After that, she replied Jonathan, “Jessy’s grandfather is in Fairlake. There’s nothing weird about visiting family.”

Jonathan had some doubts. “Are you sure it’s not because the situation has been giving you two a headache, so Jessy went to consult the elders?”

Yasmin forced a faint smile. “I can’t hide anything from you, can I?” She paused before adding, “I talked to my uncle. He asked me not to interact with you anymore. As for everything else, he’ll deal with whatever comes up.”

Jonathan was shocked. He couldn’t figure out what Yasmin was thinking. Yasmin was a bright woman. In fact, she was a genius. She didn’t lack self-confidence back then, unlike Jessica. Also unlike Jessica, she was not filled with regret now.

“Oh, don’t worry.” She grinned. “I didn’t take my uncle’s offer.”

Jonathan asked, “Why not?”

Yasmin didn’t answer him directly. She said, “Rose Couture is very important to me, not because I make a lot of money from it. Honestly, I already have enough money. I’m not very interested in indulging in a frivolous lifestyle or luxury items. However, no matter how much money anyone offers me, I will not give up Rose Couture. I live for Rose Couture. It proves what I, Yasmin Smith, am worth in this world. Therefore, no matter how financially capable Cyclops is, I will never agree to sell Rose Couture.” She paused for a moment before she continued, “Then, I thought about it. What would’ve happened to me if you hadn’t appeared? I get goosebumps whenever I wonder about that. Although Cyclops and the others aren’t from the underground societies, the way they operate is just as sinister. If he wanted to pull any tricks, he could kidnap me and film any sort of inappropriate clips. I believe they have a hundred ways to make me fold.”

Jonathan looked at Yasmin in shock. He never expected Yasmin to be that sharp and be able to see everything clearly.

Yasmin went on, “In other words, you saved my political life. You’re my savior. Rose Couture is everything to me. However, I would be biting the hand that fed me if I listened to my uncle and chased you away to secure Rose Couture. Although proving my worth is important, my priority is to be a righteous and virtuous person! If a person doesn’t even abide by moral values, wouldn’t it be ironic to even talk about self-worth?”

Yasmin’s monologue made Jonathan see her in a new light. He could tell that hidden within her frail physique was a source of terrifying strength. Her character would put a lot of people to shame.

She could be so candid and stubborn probably because she was still young. She hadn’t experienced the cruelty and despicable reality of the world. Regardless, Jonathan was impressed by her.

In the past, Jonathan had protected Yasmin because she was Connor’s sister. Now, Jonathan genuinely wanted to protect Yasmin.

He was a fighter, and fighters had to have a strong sense of justice and help those in trouble. If even fighters didn’t have the heart to do so, what could one expect from ordinary people? Jonathan felt an even stronger need to protect Yasmin because women like her were too rare.

Suddenly, Yasmin said, “However, I still have some questions. I’m hoping you can answer them.”

“Go ahead,” said Jonathan.

Yasmin said, “During my most desperate time, you appeared out of nowhere, like a prince in shining armor, just like in the fairytales. I don’t believe in fairytales. How did you appear right when I needed you most?”

Jonathan said, “It is rather coincidental, but what do you expect me to say? I’m no god. I had no way of knowing you needed help. It really was a coincidence.”

Yasmin fell silent.

Jonathan went on, “Maybe it’s fate. You were born to be blessed with people who would help you when you were grasping at straws. Precisely becauseit’s fate, even if you encounter any more danger in the future, someone would coincidentally be there to help you. Although calling it fate seems unreliable and superstitious, it’s fixed from the moment we’re born. It’s our destiny. Some people are born into nobility, others poor and lowly. Some even grab onto golden opportunities to change their lives. Some are unlucky enough to die from a car crash when crossing the road. Everyone’s life is different.”

Yasmin turned to Jonathan and asked, “Is there really no other reason?”

Jonathan answered, “It was by chance that I came to Horington from abroad. It was also a sudden decision by Cyclops to start bothering you. I’m not omniscient. How could I predict the future?”

Yasmin pondered for a moment. Then, she smiled. “I guess that means you really are my destined savior.”

Jonathan chuckled and replied, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go now.”

“Wait, do you think Cyclops will leave Horington? And will those disciples from Strikezone Martial Arts continue to make trouble for us?”

Jonathan answered, “I don’t think they will let it go that easily. But don’t worry, there is always a solution to any problem. We live in a society governed by law. They wouldn’t dare do anything in broad daylight. Even if they want to try anything in the dark, I have no fear of that. They are no match for me when it comes to playing dirty.”

Yasmin let out a sigh of relief. “Okay. Great. I’ll leave it to you then.”
