Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorce Finally Made Him Break: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

"Who did you say? Yasmin Beech?" I asked, unable to believe my ears.Mom nodded. "Yeah. Your brother has been so tight-lipped about it. Apparently, they've been together for a while, but he kept it from us to avoid causing her any trouble since she's a celebrity."Dad chuckled. "No wonder he's never had a woman around and never brought up marriage. We thought something was wrong with him! Turns out, he'd had someone in his heart all along!"Their words turned my world upside down. Yasmin and Timothy already had a three-year-old daughter, yet she was stringing Jonathan along? And she was in Barry Isle with Timothy. How did Jonathan fit in there? When had their relationship started?The questions left my face pale. Mom noticed and asked with concern, "Josie, what's wrong?"I struggled to find the right words. I wanted to expose Yasmin's true colors, but seeing how pleased she and Dad were with her, I decided to test the waters first."You guys saw those rumors about Yasmin recently

At that moment, Yasmin coughed weakly in Timothy's arms and said wanly, "Tim, I feel awful…"He scooped her up in his arms and fixed his cold gaze on me. "The chapel has been restored. Go kneel in there."With that, he told his driver to prepare the car to take Yasmin to the hospital.The stark contrast and his blatant favoritism filled me with both grievance and rage. I couldn't help but yell at his retreating back, "You're such a jerk, Timothy!"He turned, his already icy stare as sharp as a blade. It was as if he would pierce me through if I said another word.I asked, "Since you love her so much, haven’t you watched the movie she debuted in? She played a skilled swimming coach, and all her scenes were done without a stunt double. With this pool's depth, even someone who can't swim wouldn't drown, let alone someone who can."I didn't want him to see my pathetic tears, so I turned and dragged my drenched body back into the villa.Even after I called Yasmin out, Timothy still p

I smiled faintly and asked, "Is making an honest living something to be ashamed of? You're also working, aren't you?"Christine was caught by my retort. Then, she said, "Don't forget that you're on probation, Josie. I'm your boss, and I decide whether you stay or go."I nodded. "Oh, I remember. And I'll work hard. Is there anything else, Ms. Moore?"Christine probably only found out that day that I was working for her, so she hadn't yet figured out how to mess with me. For now, she just waved me off.I felt a little uneasy as I sat at my desk. Having my college rival as my boss didn't exactly promise smooth sailing.Just then, my phone pinged with a WhatsApp message from Ruby."Is Timothy's daughter an idiot or what?" she wrote, adding a cry-laughing emoji. "I stopped by her class today and heard from the teacher that she didn't even know how to pull up her pants after using the toilet."I replied, "With Timothy's brains, you'd think he wouldn't have a dimwitted kid.""Maybe th

Yasmin glanced at the frenzied fans outside the car and shrank into Timothy's arms as if startled.Her voice was soft, but it carried a hint of pride as she explained to me, "I'm sorry about this, Ms. York. I was shooting an ad for Tim's company here today, and the fans got too excited. Tim had his driver leave to pick my mother up, so we'll have to trouble you to drive us home."Oh, so Yasmin's mother was here, too. She was Timothy's future mother-in-law.For the sake of my job at Pulse Media, I swallowed my irritation and drove the car smoothly out of the chaos. Unexpectedly, those obsessive fans refused to give up and tailed us relentlessly.Several cars followed mine. Wherever I went, they followed. They stuck to us like glue.Yasmin sounded troubled as she said, "Tim, if they keep following us, they'll find out where I live. My privacy will be exposed."Timothy suddenly said to me, "Josie, pull over."I thought that they were going to get out to avoid revealing their addres

I was drained when I finally got back to my room. I didn't even have the strength to cook. I grabbed a small piece of bread from the drawer to tide me over. Then, I called Christine.She rejected the call the first few times but finally answered when I kept calling."How long are you going to keep this up, Josie? I told you that I'm having dinner with a client tonight. What's so urgent that it can't wait?" she hissed, sounding irritated.I said icily, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm quitting. Mail my press card and academic certificates to me tomorrow."After starting the job, my press card and degree certificates were held by the company's HR department. I didn't want to go back to pick them up, nor did I want my colleagues or Christine to see the wounds on my face."What?" Christine's tone sharpened. "Why?""You know why."I didn't know how Christine and Yasmin were connected, but I refused to believe that this was just a coincidence. Why would Christine send me, of al
