Yasmine Taylor immediately put down the clothes in her hand and walked over to Linda Taylor. She asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? Does your husband own this mall?"
Compared to a few years ago, Linda's words had become much sharper, and she radiated a devil-like aura.
"Let's talk."
Considering that Linda was not who she used to be, Yasmine did not want to have a head-on fight with her. She softened her tone.
The two of them came to the cafe near the mall. Linda glanced at the two men standing outside the door and sneered, "Sebastian really is considerate. He even arranged for two bodyguards to accompany you when he is not around. Is he afraid that you will be murdered in broad daylight?"
"Why did you come back this time? Sebastian had made it clear that you were not allowed to enter B City."
"Ha, you two really are funny. The mall was not owned by you, and neither was B City built by you as well. Why can't I appear here?"
"Are you coming back for revenge?"
Yasmine asked with serious eyes.
"What do you think?" "This was not the first time you followed me, right?" Thinking of her previous intuitions, Yasmine was sure that the unexpected encounter today was definitely not an accident.
"I have done it several times. Haven't you noticed it a long time ago? Otherwise, there wouldn't be two watchdogs around you now."
Yasmine was displeased with her attitude and she questioned in a cold voice, "Did you marry an old man just to come back to deal with me and Sebastian?"
"Not entirely. I came back in order to revive the dignity of our Taylor Family. It's unfortunate for us to have such an abomination like you. I have to restore our reputation."
"I'd like to see how you're going to achieve it."
"Let's wait and see, Yasmine Taylor."
Linda gave a blood- curdling smile. She stood up and sashayed away. Yasmine took a deep breath and told herself, "I'm not angry." She touched her belly and thought, "I'm the happiest woman now."
She knew that it would be easier to climb up to the sky than to have Linda change her mind, so she called her friend, Lily Adams.
Lily rushed to the cafe where Yasmine was after receiving the phone call. Yasmine was still sitting in the same spot in the cafe.
"Yasmine, what happened? Why did you ask to meet so urgently?"
"Have you seen your mother-in-law recently?"
Lily was stunned. She shook her head, "No, what's wrong?"
"Didn't you say that as long as your mother- inlaw would leave B City to settle down in France as long as she is safe? Now, has she kept her promise?"
"I didn't hear her mention it again."
Yasmine laughed sarcastically, "Lily, this is who your mother-in-law really is. She would never change just because she had escaped from a disaster. On the contrary, she must be grinding her knife now and preparing to deal with Sebastian."
"Yasmine, don't worry. I'll tell Scott and ask him to stop his mother from doing bad things again!"
"I couldn't help you last time, so I'm a little embarrassed to ask your help this time. However, things are a little tricky now. Linda came back and she got herself a huge backing. I'm very worried that Sebastian might be in danger..."
Yasmine's eyes turned red. Lily held her hand and said, "Yasmine, I know how you are feeling right now. I will find a way to help you. I promise you that no matter what happens, I will stand on your side."
The friendship with Lily made her feel ashamed. Yasmine knew that she had never betrayed Sebastian to help Lily.
After chatting with Lily for more than an hour, Yasmine received a call from her mother-in-law. She got up and said, "I have to go first. Let's meet another day."
