The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 114

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

Yasmine Taylor put on a coat and hurriedly drove to the company.

When she arrived at the company, Fynn Jaymond was waiting for her in the secretary's office. When he saw her coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go in now. They're probably already fighting."

Yasmine walked towards the door of the president's office but didn't open the door to enter it immediately. Instead, she stood by the door and quietly listened to the conversation that was going on inside.

"How dare you show up in front of me? Get out of here."

It was Sebastian Simons' voice, which was full of anger.

As soon as he had finished speaking, the coffee cup which was next to the desk was smashed to the ground. It flew over Ethan Zordon's head, scratched his skin, and soon blood was seen oozing out on his forehead.

"The reason why I came to you today is not that I feel guilty about you, but because I want to tell you that Abigail never betrayed you, whether in her body or her heart."

"Oh, do you think I will still trust you like how I did three years ago?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. You can ask Abigail in person. You would believe it if she was the one who said it, right?"

Sebastian snorted and said insidiously, "I won't believe any of your words, you nor Abigail."

Bang—

Ethan swung his fist towards Sebastian and punched him in the face. He then growled with anger, "I will not allow you to curse at her. Anyone in this world has the right to chastise her, but you don't!"

Sebastian immediately fought back with a kick to Ethan's abdomen. "Since you like her so much, don't come back ever again, then. What are you doing here now? Are you trying to show off how happy you guys are?"

"It's all because of you. She left because of you, and now she has returned also because of you. Sebastian Simons, in Abigail's world, you are her only one!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm no longer the guy who was being fooled around by the two of you."

Sebastian's anger had reached its limit so he fought against Ethan. Ethan, not to be outdone, fought back and roared, "Abigail's family is ruined because of you. I will get justice for her today!"

Suddenly, Sebastian stopped and asked with a livid face, "What did you just say?"

Ethan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "If you want to know, you can go ask Abigail by yourself. Don't ever think that she is not sad because she didn't cry, and don't think that she has betrayed you. She didn't do anything at all. The one that should be sorry for everything that had happened is the Simons family!

"Make yourself clear!"

Sebastian violently grabbed Ethan by the collar while he struggled to break free from his grip and said, "I have no reasons to explain everything to you. If you really want to know, you can go find it out yourself."

Ethan glanced at him for one last time and left angrily. After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "In the end, you never trusted Abigail. Do you know why she left you? Have you investigated it throughout these years? How can a woman who loves you so much fall in love with another man overnight? Have you really not doubted it at all? Every single day, while she was abroad, she was expecting for you to find out about the truth and to come look for her. But in the end, she was only hit by disappointment again and again."

Ethan opened the door and his expression seemed to have frozen up a little. It turned out that Yasmine was standing outside the door. The two looked at each other for a moment and without saying anything to her, he carried his guitar that was leaning against the door, and left.

Yasmine stood there for a few moments and didn't walk into the president's office. Instead, she turned around and ran out of the company, catching up with Ethan who was walking on the road.

"Let's talk." She panted lightly and requested.

Ethan thought for a moment and nodded. "Let's go."

The two of them went to a cafe nearby. As usual, they ordered two cups of Cappuccino. Yasmine handed her handkerchief to him and said, "You can use this to clean your wound."

"Thanks."

Ethan covered the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief and stared at the coffee in front of him, asking, "What do you want to talk about?"

"We're friends, aren't we?"

He paused for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Since we are friends, why are you helping Abigail to destroy my family?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know that your cousin hasn't forgotten her at all, but you still said those words to him. Aren't you destroying my family?"

Ethan was silent for a few seconds before he replied lightly, "I was just telling the truth."

"What is the truth? Why did Abigail leave Sebastian? What does the destruction of her family have to do with Sebastian?"

"It's hard to explain."

"You're just trying to brush me off. What's there that you can't explain?"

"It's not always better to know something, so don't ask what you shouldn't have asked."

"Do you think that I will not look into it then?" Ethan was calm while he said, "It's up to you. If you want to look into it, then just do it. Anyway, I've already reminded you. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to pretend to be ignorant."

He took out a ticket from his pocket and said, "This is my first performance ever since my return. If you have the time, you can come and have a look."

He left the ticket on the table and strode away. Yasmine stared at the concert ticket in her hand in a daze. On the ticket, it was written, Magic: A Date Night With You.

It turned out that Ethan was a member of the Magic band. No wonder he was so good at singing. She still remembered that four years ago, when she had just started working, there was a famous band in B city. It was Magic. But they never appeared again in the next few years. Yasmine never thought that the downfall of this band was because Ethan had left without informing his band mates.

After finishing up her cup of coffee, she got up, left the cafe and went home.

As soon as she stepped onto the porch of the Mansion House, she saw her sister- in- law sitting alone by the fountain while in a daze. She quietly walked over to her and called softly, "Tiffany."

Tiffany Simons immediately came back to her senses and squeezed a smile at her." You're back."

"Are you thinking about Fynn again?"

She sat down carefully and asked.

Tiffany lowered her head with a gloomy look in her eyes. "No." "Don't lie to me. I have been through it before. How can I not understand what you're thinking now?"

Tiffany had nothing to say in reply. After a moment of silence, she said, "I'm fine now. Everything has a process, doesn't it? You can rest assured that I will be the same as before. Don't worry."

"That's good then."

Yasmine wanted to talk about some casual topics, so that she could make her feel better. "By the way, your birthday is around the corner, isn't it? Just tell me what you want, I'll get it for you as your birthday present."

"There's no need. I don't have anything that I want."

"Don't tell me you're like your brother, who doesn't celebrate his birthday."

Tiffany quickly shook her head and said, "No, I just don't want to see too many people for the time being."

In the previous years, Tiffany would always invite a large group of friends to celebrate her birthday at home. However, she was really not in the mood for it this year.

Yasmine stared at the disappointment in her eyes and smiled. "Well, it's up for you to decide."

After returning to the house, she immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed Fynn's phone number.

"Hello? Madam, you don't have to worry about him. President Sebastian is alright now."

Fynn thought that Yasmine had called him to inquire about Sebastian's condition, but she only replied, "I'm not asking about him."

"Ah? What is it then?"

"Tiffany's birthday is coming up in a couple of days. If it's convenient for you, can you accompany her on that day?"

After a moment of silence on the phone, Fynn agreed, "Okay."

"It's decided then. Come and pick her up in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

When Sebastian returned from the company in the evening, as usual, Yasmine did not ask about anything, although she had heard everything that was said in his office.

Sebastian, on the other hand, knew that she had heard the conversation between him and Ethan.

After dinner, she went upstairs to pick a beautiful coat and put on a delicate and light makeup. She then picked up her bag and was ready to go out.

As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, Sebastian and sized her up from head to toe. He asked, "Where are you going?"

"Just sauntering around."

"Why do you saunter around on such a cold day?" "Because I want to."

Yasmine hung the bag on her shoulder and went downstairs. She didn't drive but instead she walked to the largest performance theater in the city.

According to the seat number stated on the ticket that Ethan had given her, she was seated in the first row. When she looked back, she could see that most of the audiences in this huge hall were young women, who always imagined having a romantic and prosperous future.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the show officially began. The lights suddenly went dark, and a figure flashed before Yasmine's eyes and sat on the seat not too far away from her.

When the flashlights were shining, Yasmine looked at the figure and was surprised to find that it was Abigail Tanner.

Her heart thumped and she quickly looked away. At this time, the Magic band had finally appeared on the stage. Ethan, who was the leader of the band, was very charming. The audience cheered and screamed for the breathtaking opening dance.

"Hello, everyone. We're the Magic band. It's been three years since we left this stage. Today, we're on the stage once again to realize our dreams. Coming up, we will be playing the most exciting music for all of you here..."

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

The audience were applauding enthusiastically. They were even cheering on words like: Ethan Zordon, I love you

Ethan paused for a moment and said, "Before the performance officially starts, I would like to take this opportunity to tell someone in this hall that the first song is for you. No matter how time had changed, no matter whether you have me in your heart or not, my love for you will never change. I will love you for the rest of my life."

"Woah—"

The audiences burst into an even more enthusiastic climax, waves after waves of screams and whistles which could almost overturn the roof of the hall. Everyone was curious about the person Ethan was referring to, but among the people that were present here, only two of them knew it clear in their hearts that who Ethan was talking about. One was Yasmine, and the other was Abigail.

The melody of "I Really Love You" slowly sounded, and Ethan's voice was like a bolt of lightning striking through the silent night sky—

Listening to the lyrics of the song, Yasmine had to admit that Magic was as good at music as any other famous bands in the world. She could hear screams, applause, and cries coming from the audiences. As for the woman that he was confessing to, how lucky she was to be loved by such a guy!
