Semua Bab Unveiling the True Match: Bab 151 - Bab 160

The person who arrived was a young man, roughly Brad's age. He was slender, tall, and had fair skin. His eyes exuded clarity and youthfulness. His light chestnut hair and the hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth made him approachable. Yaslyn immediately surmised his identity.If her guess was accurate, this had to be Yale Pearson, Brad's close friend and a prominent figure in the high-society circles of the capital. The Pearson family had significant political influence in the capital, yet Yale himself did not seem so stiff and formal. He exuded a youthful, lively aura instead.Seeing Brad tangled in the flower bed in an amusing state, Yale could not help but tease him, "Oh? So, Mr. Carden is fond of plants and flowers now?"Brad stood up, his behind tingling with discomfort. Suppressing his irritation, he said, "Yaslyn, why did you do that to me?"Frankly, Brad wanted to question why he kicked her. With Yale present, however, he was far too embarrassed to say it outright.Y

On Yaslyn's first day staying with the Cardens, York Carden had Brad take her to the local upscale mall to buy some clothes and jewelry.Although Brad was reluctant, York enticed him with the offer of an increased allowance. Brad finally, though begrudgingly, agreed.Smiling, York pulled a card from his pocket and handed it to Yaslyn. "Since you're both children of the Carden family, you should be treated the same. Here's some money. Once you've used it up, just ask me for more."The gold lettering on the jet-black card was something Yaslyn had seen before. Even people of status could not easily obtain one.York might be an unsavory character, but when it came to handing out money, he did not hold back. Though she wanted to refuse, thinking of York's antics made her reconsider. She decided to accept it as compensation for her emotional distress.Once at the mall, Yaslyn wandered around while Brad followed behind. His hands were in his pockets, and he sported a particularly sour ex

Tracy froze, unsure of how to respond to Yaslyn's blunt words."There's no need to involve me if you're interested in Brad. Go after him yourself. Otherwise, you should know that I can be much more ruthless than Brad," Yaslyn warned as she smiled in annoyance.Yaslyn then turned to Brad and said, "Shall we go? Isn't there a wine-tasting event we have to attend?"Following Yaslyn's lead, Brad nodded and walked away, leaving behind an angry looking Tracy.The wine-tasting event was held in the lush garden of a secluded mansion in the capital, and the guest list was limited to the city's elite.Brad was a well-known figure in the capital, praised for his contributions and well-liked by many. It was the first time anyone had seen him bring a woman to an event.Curiously enough, Yaslyn's delicate beauty bore a certain resemblance to Brad. Some attendees recognized her and whispered amongst themselves."I know her. She's the Carden family's granddaughter, but she lives in a small town

Seeing that Xoan remained silent, Yaslyn felt anxious."I'm really okay—""Yaslyn, what are you trying to explain? You don't need to explain anything!" Yale interjected, seeing Yaslyn's struggle.Yale's heart ached for her as he turned toward Xoan. "Did you, Mr. Xoan Warren, travel all this way just to interrogate your own girlfriend?"Xoan's eyes were already filled with a cold glint due to his concern for Yaslyn, but Yale's arrival intensified that chill. "I was speaking to my girlfriend. When was it your turn to butt in?"Setting down the medicine, Yale moved Yaslyn behind him protectively. "I don't wish to interrupt. However, anyone who sees their girlfriend in this situation should at least show some concern.""This has nothing to do with you. Stop meddling!" Xoan retorted, stepping forward with an intimidating aura.Yale raised his hands to block him and sarcastically exclaimed, "Do you even know what this is? Sulfuric acid! A splash on the arm, and you think it's a small

"Brad seems to be waking up soon. Shall we go in and check on him?"Yaslyn was worried that Brad would be traumatized upon waking up and discovering the damage to his back."Alright."The pair wore sterile surgical gowns and walked in. Yaslyn saw Brad's furrowed brow and beads of sweat covering his forehead. Even unconscious, he appeared to be in agony.Yaslyn moved closer, seeing his fingers twitching rhythmically and gently held his hand.The next second, as if a miracle occurred, Brad slowly opened his eyes. Lying on a thick layer of down feathers due to his burned back, even slight movements brought him intense pain.Yaslyn's heart ached as she saw his struggle. "Brad, are you okay?""I'll be fine. It's not like I'm going to die," Brad replied indifferently.Brad knew he was disfigured since he had sulfuric acid thrown onto him. If given another chance, he would still choose to protect Yaslyn."Don't worry. I'll heal your back and make it just like it was before," Yaslyn a
