Rebirth 36
Xavier drove Yvette back to the Flynn residence, and as soon as they stepped inside, Helen dashed over, her face glowing with excitement. "Xavier, you won't believe what I saw today." She practically shoved her phone in Xavier's face. "Look! Yasmine is totally cheating!"
The photo on the screen showed Yonas inviting Yasmine to get into his car. The angle made the whole scene feel a little unclear. Frustration washed over Xavier as his expression changed again.
Unaware that, Helen kept going. "You just divorced her a few days ago! How could she move on so fast? She must've been cheating on you. A woman like that doesn't deserve a penny of our family's money. You need to get that house back from her!"
As Xavier didn't respond, Selena stepped in. "Xavier, we might have money, but it doesn't just appear. I know you're kind-hearted and think she deserves something after all those years. But if Helen is right about the cheating, then she has no claim to our family's fortune." Selena shot a glance at Yvette, nudging her to back her up. Yvette bit her lip, steeping forward, saying, "Xavier, could it be that Ms. Sanchez and Mr. Russell..." "That's enough," Xavier interrupted. He felt overwhelmed and didn't want to hear more accusations from the three women. "We'll talk about this later. I'm tired. I need to go upstairs and rest for a bit."
With that, he walked away, leaving the trio staring at each other,
stunned.
Helen blinked at Yvette, looking confused. "What's gotten into him?"
Yvette shrugged, glancing at Selena, who looked just as perplexed. Yonas rarely appeared in public, but most of the elite in Soucrity should have recognized him. It baffled Yvette that neither Helen nor Selena seemed to know who he was. After a moment, she asked, "Hey, do you two know who that guy in the photo is?"
Helen rolled her eyes. "Who cares? A woman like Yasmine couldn't attract anyone of real quality anyway." Though she had to admit, the guy was actually good-looking.
Selena's interest piqued. "Yvette, you know him? That's great! Then you could call him. to get the scoop. We have to find proof of Yasmine's cheating."

Yvette shook her head, looking troubled. I don't think I can do that. That guy is Yonas."
"What?" Selena's voice shot up, and instantly, she grabbed Helen's phone fr closer look. As she zoomed in on the picture, the realization hit her hard-it was really Yonas.
She had been so focused on plotting to reclaim their family's wealth from Yasmine that she hadn't even considered who this man was. After all, who would have thought Yasmine would have any ties to Soucrity's wealthiest guy? Helen was equally shocked, and suddenly it hit her. 'Wait, Yoselin was there too! Why didn't I think this guy could be her brother?"
The mother-daughter duo seethed with frustration. Yvette sighed softly. "You know, when Xavier and I ran into them earlier, we were trying to figure out the connection between them. Hearing what Helen just said, I never would've guessed Ms. Sanchez would score like this. But does Mr. Russell know she's divorced?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The duo exchanged meaningful looks. 'Right. Even if Yasmine somehow caught Y**'s eye, how could a guy like him fall for a divorced woman?'
