Xavier's eyes darkened, his jaw tensing. "This woman has changed so much, and now she has the nerve to talk to me like this." As he didn't respond, Yasmine lost interest and turned to walk away. But just as she stepped forward, he grabbed her wrist tightly
Xavier wasn't in the mood for games. He yanked Yasmine back to where she stood, leaving deep marks on her pale skin. Yasmine winced and rubbed her sore wrist, firing him an angry glare. "Xavier, what do you want from me? You-"
"I think we need to talk." He cut her off, his voice icy. His eyes inadvertently flicked to the red mark on her wrist, a wave of unfamiliar emotions washing over him. Yasmine laughed coldly. "Sorry, not interested. I don't want to talk at all."
Xavier was getting heated. "Yasmine, I'm trying to keep this civil. I felt guilty, so I you money and a house, but that was before I found out you were seeing someone else. You had found another man so you signed the divorce papers so fast, right?" gaveAll rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"What did you just say?" Yasmine blinked in disbelief, completely shocked by his accusation. The situation felt absurd to her, and she decided not to waste her breath arguing. "Believe what you want."
Her indifferent expression deflated Xavier's rage. He clenched his fists, looking down at her, and the words slipped out before he could stop them. "Yasmine, I'm going to find proof of your affair while we were married. If I find anything, I'll take you to court to reclaim everything I gave you."
Yasmine looked up at him, her eyes cold and piercing, making Xavier's heart race. She felt like the man she once loved had become so shameless that she could barely recognize him.
"You know exactly who cheated during our marriage, Xavier. I don't know whether to call you childish or shameless," Yasmine shot back, her voice flat.
She paused for a moment, frowning in impatience. "You wanted a divorce and to be with Yvette, and I gave you your freedom. Since we got divorced, we have nothing to do with each other. I just want to live my own life, okay?

"We barely saw each other when we were married. Now that we're divorced, can't you just stay with your fiancée and leave me alone?
"I won't let go of what we divided in the divorce. Go ahead, investigate, or take me to court, but you don't need to come here and threaten me."
Honestly, Yasmine didn't really care about the assets, but some things needed to be kept as boundaries. She had put up with a lot in the past, and the Flynn family thought they could walk all over her. But now, things had changed. Xavier stood there, speechless, feeling a hollow ache in his throat.
Take care of yourself." Yasmine didn't want to linger any longer. She delivered her final. words and turned to leave.
This time, Xavier didn't stop her. As he watched her walk away, he felt an overwhelming sense of defeat mixed with a strange, biting sadness.
