The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 143

"River Gauche Cafe."

Half an hour later, Yasmine arrived at the cafe where Claudine had been waiting.

"Madam Tucker, why do you want to see me so late at night? What's the matter?"

"Yasmine, first of all, I want to apologise to you. To be honest, I was the one responsible for the rumours."

Yasmine was suddenly stunned and she asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

"The news about you abandoning your stupid fiancee to marry a man in a rich and powerful family? That was me."

For a whole minute, Yasmine could not say anything. She was deeply shocked. She could never have imagined that Claudine was the one behind all these.

"Why? Why did you do that?"

Yasmine gritted her teeth and asked when she came to her senses.

"In order to warn Titus Simons that I, Claudine Tucker, am back."

"What happened between you and my father- inlaw?"

Claudine looked out of the window with sharp eyes and said coldly, "Thirty years ago, I was engaged to Titus, but your mother-in-law stole my man away. This shameful couple even had children behind my back. I have been holding back my anger for decades. Now, it's time for justice to be served."

Yasmine was shocked again. She didn't expect Claudine to have such deep-seated hatred for her parents-in-law.

"So, did you purposely get close to me from the beginning?"

"No. At the beginning, I didn't know that you were Titus and Mila's daughter-in-law. I liked you from the bottom of my heart. Even now that I know who you are, I still like you very much. The reason I asked you to meet up is to discuss something with you."

"What do you want to discuss with me about?"

At this moment, Yasmine had become vigilant. She no longer thought of Claudine as motherly anymore.

"Your in-laws are nice to you, aren't they?"

Claudine asked meaningfully.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"It seems like they are not bad. In that case, I'll like to ask you this. If they are in trouble, would you sacrifice yourself to save them?"

Yasmine frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, I'll tell you directly. I have evidence that prove them to be guilty of murder three years ago. As long as I hand this evidence to the police, they will surely be punished by the law."

Yasmine gasped. "What's your deal with Abigail?" She seemed to have anticipated that there was a special relationship between the two of them.

"Mother and daughter. She is my god- daughter whom I met in France."

Yasmine was angry. She had a feeling that she had been cheated. "So, you know about the relationship between Abigail and my husband?"

"Yes."

"You are really horrible. You knew it from the beginning, yet you pretended not to. I don't ever want to see you again."

Yasmine was about to leave angrily when Claudine raised her eyebrows and said, "Wait a minute."

"I've never denied knowing Abigail. You never asked

me.

"Don't you feel guilty for treating me like a fool after I regarded you as family? I guess it was you who arranged for Abigail to come back."

"We don't need to argue about Abigail. I asked you to meet up to talk about your parents-in-law."

"You can talk to them yourself. I don't want to talk to you about anything."

"Only you can save them."

Claudine's firm words made Yasmine turn around. "What do you want?"

"It's very simple. If you divorce Sebastian, I'll destroy all the evidence that incriminates your parents- inlaw."

Yasmine felt like killing someone. She roared angrily, "Are you threatening me? What does my marriage to Sebastian have to do with you?" "My son likes you."

"In your dreams! I'll tell you frankly. You can do whatever you want, but I, Yasmine Taylor, am used to getting threatened, and my parents-in-law are not people who are easily taken!"

"Even if I can't defeat them, this evidence is enough to destroy Simons Corporation. If you can bear to see your husband go bankrupt, then do whatever you want."

"Despicable!"

Yasmine couldn't bear it anymore. She picked up the glass of water in front of her and splashed it on Claudine's face in anger. Then, she turned around and left quickly.
