Chapter 137 Knowing Yasmin's True Nature
Kyle looked at the address displayed in the text message, his handsome brows furrowing slightly.
Who sent this to him?
It didn't look like spam, more like a reminder.
He hesitated for two seconds, then called the number that sent the message.
He thought no one would answer, but unexpectedly, it was picked up after just two rings.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"It's me. Amelia."
Kyle's eyes widened: "It's you!"
"That's right."
"What do you want? What does this address you sent me mean?"
"Aren't you suspicious of Yasmin too? Go to this address and you'll understand everything."
Kyle frowned: "What are you up to now?"
Amelia sighed, then said, "Kyle, if you weren't Geraldo's only grandson, your business would be none of mine. You asked me what this address means, right? Yasmin is there right now. If you go, you'll see what kind of person she really is."
"You..."
Kyle wanted to ask more, but the call had already been disconnected.
His expression grew even darker.
Compared to Amelia, he still trusted Yasmin more.
But what he learned today told him that Yasmin wasn't the person he thought she was.
About the plagiarism, Yasmin had lied.
So what about Grandpa's attack?
The seed of doubt had been planted in his heart and was growing stronger.
He had to go see for himself.
Kyle hesitated no more. He opened the car door, got in, and drove straight to the address Amelia gave him.
At the café.
Yasmin had been waiting for a long time, but that person still hadn't shown up.
Just when she thought he might not come, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Steven wore a well-tailored suit.
He got straight to the point: "Are you really pregnant?"
Steven had refused to see her, feeling she had made him lose his dignity.
Yasmin knew this well, so she found an excuse he wouldn't refuse.
Yasmin nodded: "Yes... I just found out today, too."
Steven's lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
This news was too sudden, so sudden that he didn't know what to do.
Originally, he had planned to listen to his father and never have anything to do with Yasmin again.
There were so many excellent and beautiful women in the world. Although he still had feelings for Yasmin, it wasn't like he couldn't let go.
Men were different from women - they were always more rational than emotional.
Especially now, his heart already held another person, someone he had never considered before and even disliked.
But the news of Yasmin's pregnancy left his mind completely blank.
He hesitated for a long time, but ultimately came to see Yasmin.
"Steven," Yasmin touched her flat stomach, her voice sad: "This child comes at a bad time. I'm going to get an abortion, but I thought you should have the right to know about this child's existence."
Steven suddenly frowned.
"I didn't give you permission to abort this child!"
Yasmin smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't abort it, should I give birth? You don't love me anymore, your family doesn't like me, and they won't let me marry you. Even if this child is born, they won't accept it. Keeping a child who won't be welcomed from birth isn't fair to him either."
Steven said nothing, as if struggling internally.
Before Yasmin, he had had countless women.
But this was his first child.
It meant something special to him.
Steven took a deep breath after making his decision.
"Pack your things for the next few days. I'll send you abroad."
The implication was he wouldn't marry her, but he wanted this child.
Yasmin felt angry inside.
Even knowing this was fake, she was still angry.
She thought Steven would at least get back together with her for the sake of this child.
She thought Steven still had at least a little bit of feeling left for her.
But reality hit her hard.
The man she had chosen could never be someone she could rely on, from beginning to end.
They could never go back.
The Sullivan family would absolutely never accept her.
Fortunately, Steven did care about this "child."
Yasmin clenched her hands and said, "Whether this child can be kept doesn't depend on you."
"If I don't have a say, then who does? I'm this child's father! You have no right to make this decision alone."
Yasmin smiled bitterly and said, "The child is mine, how could I bear not to keep him? But I've run into a situation now. Some people won't let me go, and they won't let go of the child in my belly either."
Steven gave her a questioning look.
"What do you mean?"
Yasmin took a light breath and explained the situation methodically.
"After leaving Luminance Art Gallery that day, I tried my luck and wanted to ask Geraldo for forgiveness. But not only did he refuse to forgive me, but he also scolded me harshly."
"Maybe what he said was too harsh, even God couldn't stand it, so he got his punishment right then - a heart attack."
"At the time, he had his medicine on him, but accidentally dropped it on the ground and asked me to pick it up for him."
"I picked it up, but didn't give it to him. Instead, I threw it out the window."
"I thought he would surely die, but I didn't expect Amelia to save him!"
"Now he's awake. Do you think he'll let the child and me in my belly go?"
Steven's lips parted slightly, looking at her in shock.
He couldn't believe these words were coming from her.
Yasmin laughed coldly, unclear whether she was mocking Steven or herself.
She said: "What? You think you're just meeting me for the first time today? Don't be silly, Steven. You know what kind of person I am. Isn't this exactly the me you liked? Besides, are you such a good person yourself? Geraldo is the first person who almost died at my hands. What about you? How many lives have already died at your hands?"
Steven's expression was ugly.
Yasmin smirked, walked up to Steven, and took his hand.
"Steven, in this world, I'm the only one who can accept the real you. We two are a match made in heaven, a natural pair."
Steven jerked his hand away.
His last bit of love for her completely disappeared with Yasmin's words.
"Cut the nonsense. What do you want me to do?"
He completely stopped caring about Yasmin, but he wanted this child.
That was his child.
Yasmin didn't mind his attitude either.
From the moment he said he would send her abroad, her heart had already died toward him.
She deeply regretted causing conflict with the Richardson family for such a man.
But it was too late for regrets now. She could only try her best to fight for what should have been hers.
Yasmin spoke calmly: "The McGinnis family is just a family without much status. Dealing with them doesn't even require getting physical, just a few words from you. Help me find them, suppress the news, and then send me abroad."
Kyle was hopeless now. The police might show up tomorrow.
So Steven had to threaten them before that happened.
The Sullivan family was a top-tier wealthy family in Goldenvale after the Richardson family. They wouldn't dare ignore what Steven said.
After all, Geraldo was fine now. They didn't need to offend the Sullivan family.
"After I go abroad, I'll give birth to the child properly. After the birth, you give me fifty million dollars, and from then on I'll have nothing to do with this child."
Yasmin was actually asking for fifty million dollars.
For fifty million dollars, she could give up her own child.
This made Steven detest her even more.
How had he never noticed before that Yasmin was such a money-grubber?
Before, Yasmin didn't lack money, so she never mentioned money to him.
Now that she needed money, her true colors naturally showed.
But no matter how much he detested Yasmin, he was still the child's father.
Steven didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, after Yasmin gave birth, whether or not to give the money was up to him.
Someone who went abroad - in such a chaotic environment, could they even survive?
That was hard to say.
Plenty of people died abroad.
Steven had his own plan too.
But for now, his and Yasmin's goals were aligned.
"I'll arrange things with the McGinnis family."
"The sooner the better. Ideally you can handle it today."
"I know."
Steven frowned. He didn't like Yasmin using this commanding tone with him.
But considering the child in her belly, Steven didn't show obvious displeasure.
He even planned to go straight to the McGinnis family after leaving here.
"Where are you staying now? I'll take you back," Steven said.
Yasmin felt a moment of guilt.
She said, "I'm staying at a hotel now. Just take me back to the hotel."
Steven's lips moved, remembering that he hadn't let Yasmin stay at his place, and he felt somewhat guilty.
"Let me take you to a hotel under the Sullivan Group. That way I can feel more at ease."
Yasmin didn't refuse.
She couldn't possibly go back to Kyle's place.
That useless fool had already started suspecting her. She didn't want to waste time on Kyle anymore.
The two walked out of the private room one after the other, but in the adjacent private room, Kyle had clearly heard their entire conversation.
He was shaking with anger.
All this time, Yasmin had been lying to him and using him!
She had played him for a fool!
He never imagined that Geraldo had been made ill by Yasmin.
Even less did he expect that things were exactly as Grandpa said - she deliberately threw away Grandpa's medicine!
Thinking that if it weren't for Amelia, Geraldo might have been killed by Yasmin just like that, while he had been suspecting and targeting Amelia, Kyle angrily slapped himself.
He was such an idiot!
No wonder Geraldo got so angry when he heard what Yasmin said in the hospital room.
If it were him, he would have died of anger long ago!
Hearing the two about to leave, Kyle could no longer contain his fury and was about to rush out.
But just then, he heard something fall outside the door, followed by Yasmin's startled cry.
