Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 110

A thought suddenly struck Yasmin as she walked toward the stairs. She wrote up an invoice, corrected it, and passed it to Sarah.

Sarah subsequently handed Erik the invoice. "Hello, Mr. Hayes, that will be 76 thousand dollars for the suit you ordered."

Yasmin had charged him an extra six thousand dollars for being detestable and making her angry.

Erik looked up at Yasmin.

Yasmin had walked upstairs. Her slender figure was very attractive.

Erik chuckled. "This woman can still do business at a time like this. She's stronger than I thought," he mused. "Interesting."

Erik swiped his card and told Sarah, "Call me when the suit is ready. I'll need to try it on."

"Goodbye, Mr. Hayes," Sarah said with a smile.

Erik snorted and walked out.

…

That night, Yasmin returned to the Starr family house.

She had picked up the gifts that Blake had tossed in the trash. She couldn't afford such luxurious gifts and didn't want them to go to waste.

Four people greeted her at the door—Emelda and Victor's family. They were waiting for her and looked disappointed when they saw that Blake wasn't with her.

"Yasmin, didn't Blake come with you?" Her cousin Brittany's anticipation turned into disappointment.

"He can't make it because he's busy." Yasmin passed the gifts to a household staff.

Magnolia glanced at the luxurious gifts and smiled approvingly.

Brittany sighed and said, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? I wanted to beg Blake to give me a leadership position in Windmere Group."

Yasmin said coolly, "It's no use begging him. He hires by capability rather than personal connections. You're just interning this year, so there's no way he'll give you a leadership position already."

Yasmin was very frank. There was no way this would happen.

"I think you just don't want to help me," Brittany said with a pout.

"Enough. Let's not talk about this. Let's go and eat." Magnolia smiled and led Yasmin by the hand into the dining room.

The family sat down at the table.

Yasmin slowly ate her dinner, planning to reveal that she and Blake had filed for divorce after they had eaten.

However, Magnolia said, "Yasmin, I wanted to tell Blake something. Since he's not here, we'll tell you instead." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Aunt Magnolia, go ahead."

"It's about your father's company. Weren't there a lot of debts? One of the creditors is asking for an early repayment of 300 thousand dollars. We don't have the money, so we wanted to ask Blake."

Yasmin stopped eating. "The company can't even afford 300 thousand dollars?"

"Yes," Magnolia said anxiously. "The company is declining, and it still has a lot of debts. I don't know how much longer it can last. If it can no longer sustain itself, then it will be forced to close for good."

Closing the company meant declaring bankruptcy.

If that happened, everything her father had worked for would be gone.

Yasmin looked at Victor.

Victor urged, "Yasmin, this company is everything your father worked for. Now that you've married a rich man, you should help the company."

Yasmin was quiet for a while. She then replied, "Let me think of something."

She decided not to tell them she was divorcing Blake just yet. She needed to resolve this problem first.

In hindsight, she should not have stubbornly rejected Erik's 500 thousand dollar cheque.

Now, she needed to think of a way to raise the money.

This was her father's company debt. Even if Starr Corporation went bankrupt, they still needed to repay what they owed.

Yasmin pondered for a while after leaving the Starr family house. After making up her mind, she took a cab to Oak Garden.

She wanted to pack her things and see what valuables she could sell to raise the money to settle the debt.

However, coincidentally, Blake was at the house.
