A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 143

After hearing Cynthia’s words, Jasmine looked at David with a displeased expression. It’s all because of him. Thomas Frost is hosting a birthday banquet tonight and invited us to attend. This stubborn old man refuses to go

The Frost family. Cynthia had heard of them before. They were a prominent family in Auroran, and she recalled that Liam had a friend who was the young heir of the Frost family.

In high society, attending such banquets could strengthen ties between families, which David should understand. His attitude seemed uncalled for. Cynthia asked David, “Is there a specific reason for this?

David was also full of anger. Thomas was her first love. If she goes, won’t it give them a chance?

Upon hearing this, Jasmine unhappily said, “Can’t your mind be less filthy, I’m just attending a banquet. Both families are in Auroran, and we see each other all the time. We can’t keep avoiding each other forever”

“Why not? You someone buried in the ground up to your neck, still yearn for socializing David replied.

“What did you say?” Jasmine’s voice suddenly escalated.

Seeing Jasmine getting angry, David didn’t dare to push it too far. “Anyway, you can’t go tonight.

“I must go tonight,” Jasmine replied

Seeing the tw

two about to quarrel, Cynthia quickly stepped in to medute. David, Jasmine, please calm down.”

Instantly, both elderly people grabbed Cynthia’s wrists, one on each side. “Cynthia, you tell me who’s right, Jasmine said

“Cynthia, make this an see reason, David said.

man

The two started pulling Cynthia in both directions for help. Cynthia was being jostled back and forth, unable to hear anything amidst the earful of arguments, making her head buzz.

Covering her ears. Cynthia quickly moved to the side. “David, Jasmine, please calm down.”

“Since you can’t resolve this, why don’t we call Liam and let him decide?” This time, the two elders agreed

“Alright”

Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief and dialed Liam’s number. The call was quickly answered, and the voice on the other end sounded surprised. “Why are you thinking of me so soon!”

Cynthia quickly explained, David and Jasmine are here at our house…

Cynthia outlined the argument between the two people to Liam. Over the phone, he sighed in resignation and asked, “How do you think this should be handled, Cynthia”

“If I know, why do I ask you!” Cynthia responded, looking at the two faces across from her, full of expectation, with exasperation. Both sides had reasonable points of view, but no matter which side Cynthia leaned towards, the other would be unhappy

Suddenly, Liam asked, “Cynthia, do you want to attend the banquet? I’ve also received an invitation from the Frost family”

Cynthia immediately understood Liam’s intention. You mean we should all go together. This way, we can satisfy Jasmine and also make David feel

Liam chuckled on the other end of the phone. “Yes, let’s go as a family. My clever Cynthial”

Hearing Liam’s praise, Cynthia’s cheeks warmed up a bit.

After hanging up the phone. Cynthia explained the general idea to the two elderly folks, and they both nodded in agreement

Cynthia had planned to go to the hospital in the afternoon, but now with the sudden evening banquet invitation, she had to quickly call Gerald to ask for leave.

In the afternoon, Jasmine dragged Cynthia to the mall.

“Grandma, I have a gown in my closet. I don’t need to buy one,” Cynthia sald

“No. Tonight is the first time we attend a banquet together, we must outshine everyone Jasmine, when she was young, ranked top in looks.

David, with a stern face, followed behind carrying shopping bags

Watching Jasmine’s excitement, he couldn’t help but sarcastically say, “I see you’re trying to catch someon

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a tap on the back of his head.

Jasmine stood with hands on hips, looking ferve

Mineone’s eye”

“Can’t you say something nice for once? If I wanted something to happen with him, would I wait till now? Saying this, Jasmine casually picked a few clothes for the salesperson to pack and then handed everything to David,

“Seems 1 didn’t buy enough, since you talk so much,” she said. By now, David’s hands were full of shopping bags and he even had a pile in his arms, making it hard to see clearly the road

Cynthia felt a bit sorry and wanted to help David carry some of the load.

As she reached out, Jasmine grabbed her, pulling her towards another counter.

David was furious, but he didn’t hesitate in his actions, quickly following Jasmine’s footsteps,

Passing by a luxury women’s clothing counter, Jasmine was immediately drawn to a white dress on a model,

She directly pulled Cynthia inside.

“Cynthia, do you like this dress” Jasmine asked enthusiastically.

Cynthia looked at the price tag on the dress. It cost a few hundred thousand dollars, which was equal to her several months salary.

Cynthia quickly shook her head and said, “Jasmine, this is too expensive?

Jasmine dismissed it, saying, “It’s fine, as long as you like it. I will buy it for you.”

“No need Jasmine. Let’s look at something else, Cynthia replied, wanting to leave,

But Jasmine had already called the salesperson over. Please bring the small size of this dress for my granddaughter-in–law to try on”

The salesperson looked hesitant. I’m sorry, but each style and size in our store is unique, and this small size is already being tried on by another

customer.

Jasmine’s and Cynthia’s gazes turned towards the fining roums,

Just then, the person trying on the dress inside came out

It was Yolanda and Arvin.

The two did not notice the people behind them as they looked at themselves in the mirror.

Yolanda squeezed into the dress, which was clearly too tight–it left marks on her waist,

The salesperson went over and suggested, “Miss, this dress has no elasticity. You may want to choose a size up”

Yolanda took a deep breath but still felt it was inadequate.

As she was about to go try a bigger size, Yolanda caught sight of Cynthia and the others.

She approached Jasmine and David politely and greeted them. “Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan, are you also here shopping for clothes?”

After the previous incident, Jasmine had no fondness for the Wilde family, but she couldn’t let it show as it was her best friend’s granddaughter.

With a slight smile, Jasmine replied, “Tim here buying clothes for my granddaughter–in–law. What a coincidence”

Then, Jasmine looked towards Arvin beside Yolanda.

Hearing her words, Yolanda quickly distanced herself from Arvin, trying to avoid any suspicion.

“He’s just a friend,” she hurriedly clarified.

Upon hearing this, there was evident disappointment on Arvin’s face.

Jasmine observed the subtle tension between the two, understanding the situation. How could she not know that something was going on between
