Helen never expected Yoselin to stand up for Yasmine like that. Her face turned gloomy as she glared at Yasmine. "You really know how to play the game, don't you?"
Yasmine narrowed her eyes. "Helen, I was naive to fall for your brother back then. But you and the Flynn family know exactly why he married me. You'd better not twist the truth and throw dirt around too much." Back when Xavier proposed to Yasmine, Helen and Selena fully supported it. They thought Matthew genuinely liked Yasmine and believed that marrying her would somehow bring Yvette back to the country.
Helen's face darkened even more, and she shouted at Yasmine, "I'm throwing dirt? Yasmine, if you're so innocent, why don't you just return our family's house? How shameless can you be! Do you really think you deserve to keep it?"
"Let's get one thing straight. Your brother wasted three years of my life making me serve you and your mother. He divorced me the moment his first love came back, and I haven't even reported him for faking the marriage. And yet, you all expect me to walk away empty- handed?" Yasmine snapped, her voice icy. Helen was stunned. 'Is this the same Yasmine who used to hang on Xavier's every word? How could she be so cold now? Back then, Xavier was her soft spot.
Yasmine glanced at her watch and decided not to waste another moment on Helen. She patted Yoselin's shoulder and said, "Let's go. You have class."
"Sure, let's go." Yoselin smiled brightly, linking her arm with Yasmine's. She was sweet and polite, steering clear of any mention of Yasmine's complicated history with the Flynn family.
Helen's expression sharp nails digging into her palm as she thought, 'How dare Yasmine! She thinks she can get away with this just because she has Yoselin on her side? We'll see about that."

Yasmine walked with Yoselin across campus while stealing a few glances at this cute girl. The night before, she'd just casually agreed to let Yoselin visit often, but now she genuinely wanted to help her heal. However, Yasmine couldn't understand how someone so cheerful and lively could be struggling with m**al health issues.
They finally stopped at the academic building. Yoselin waved at Yasmine and said, "I'm heading to class now. Can I find you for lunch if I have time?"
Yoselin was so friendly and eager that Yasmine couldn't refuse. She nodded, "Sure, I'll

wait for you at the east entrance of the cafeteria. It's closer to your building"
As Yoselin walked away, she glanced back and waved. "Okay, see you!"
Yasmine waved back. "See you later, Yoselin!"
Despite Helen's arrogance, he still had quite a following at school, thanks to the Flynn family name. On her way back, Yasmine ran into Ximena Lawrence, one of her lackeys. They walked together and arrived just in time to see Yasmine say goodbye to Yoselin. Yasmine turned around and noticed Helen, but she just walked right by Helen, heading toward the counseling office.
Helen turned to Ximena and asked, "Do you know what that woman does at our school?"
Ximena, oblivious to the earlier drama, looked at Yasmine's back and admired excitedly. "Oh, she's the new counselor in the counseling office. She's not that much older than us, and is called Ms. Beauty. She only showed up once at a club event, but all the guys have been talking about her nonstop these past few days..
