The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 221

Through the wooden door, Yasmine could hear their conversation vaguely—

"Did Claudine suspect you recently?"

It was Sebastian's voice. After that, a voice that she had never heard before answered, "No, she was not suspicious at all."

"Well, almost all the evidence has been collected now. Your task will be completed as long as you get the most vital evidence."

"Certainly, President Sebastian, we will not disappoint you."

Sebastian Simons then looked at Fynn Jaymond, "Were there any movements on her side?"

"It seems that they're fighting for a case. Besides that, there are no unusual activities,"

"Keep an eye on her."

"Understood."

After that, they continued their conversation in whispers. Sebastian looked at the time and noticed that it was already two o'clock in the morning. "Well, you all may leave now. Let's not meet for the time being to not arouse any suspicion. We will only meet again once the most vital information has been collected."

Yasmine Taylor hurried back to the bedroom. After seeing Fynn and the two strangers leave, she took a deep breath and went straight to the study. Thump, thump, thump! She knocked on the door lightly. Sebastian opened the door and thought it was Fynn. He blurted out, "Is there anything else?"

When he saw it was Yasmine who was standing outside the door, he was shocked. "Yasmine, why are you awake?"

Yasmine frowned. She stomped into the study angrily and sat down on the couch without saying a word.

"What's wrong?"

He sat down and hugged her with a confused look on his face.

"Didn't you promise me that you won't face your problems alone and that we will not have any more secrets between us?"

Sebastian was stunned and he asked uncertainly, "Were you eavesdropping outside the door?"

"Yes, I heard everything."

Sebastian rubbed his forehead and explained patiently, "Yasmine, it's not a secret. It's just the usual competition in business. You're pregnant now. I don't want you to be involved in this kind of unpleasant thing."

"But you should have at least told me about it. Maybe there is something I could do for you."

"I don't need your help. You should just stay in a good mood and wait patiently for our babies to come. You don't have to worry about anything else."

"I heard you talking about Claudine. Are you going to deal with her?" Sebastian did not conceal anything from her. "Yes, I didn't expect Claudine to be so bold. After returning to the country for a few years, her tax evasion has already reached hundreds of millions of dollars. I was wondering why she had such a large amount of capital to start a business. It turns out that she was taking such a risk. She really brought this upon herself."

"How did you know that?"

"I've been keeping an eye on her. Nothing will be able to escape my close surveillance."

"Who are those two people just now?"

"They are important employees in her company's finance department. Claudine trusts them very much. All the accounts the company is handed over to them."

"Then why would they betray her?"

"There is no reason to betray a person. Even your relatives might betray you, not to mention when they are just her subordinates."

"Why did you have to meet each other in the middle of the night? Did you also meet with them the last time you went out?"

"Well, we must keep a low profile because it's a confidential matter."

"Are you that confident that you can defeat Claudine this time?"

Yasmine looked at Sebastian's enigmatic face and felt a little uneasy. Perhaps it was because she had been living in hatred and vengeance since she was a child. Perhaps she had gotten older now and had even become a pregnant lady, hence, she no longer liked that kind of life. She began to yearn for peace, for a future without conspiracy and darkness.

"If everything goes well, we would be able to take her down at one go. We will definitely catch her off guard."

Sebastian's tone was very firm, and his eyes sparkled with a dark light. He got up and took out a document from the drawer at the bottom of the desk. "Take a look at this."

Yasmine flipped the document open. It was the record of Claudine's tax evasion and also about her sexual life with the officials.

"This matter must be kept a secret no matter what. Before I hand this evidence over to the anticorruption bureau, I can't reveal it to anyone, especially your good friend. Lily."

Yasmine nodded, "I understand."

Lily Adams was Claudine's daughter-in-law. Seeing her beloved man fighting with her good friend's mother-in-law, Yasmine felt a little uneasy.

When she recalled how Scott had defended his mother during her father-in-law's funeral that day, Yasmine felt inexplicably worried.

Early the next morning, before Yasmine opened her eyes, her mother-in-law came upstairs and knocked on the door. "Yasmine, are you up?"

Yasmine rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up and answered, "I'm up."

Sebastian also got up and opened the door. He asked his mother, "Why did you wake her up so early?"
