The news spread through the university like wildfire. Rumor had it that Yonas, the famous figure everyone had been talking about, was actually on Aurelith University's campus and that he was friends with their teacher, Yasmine. People said Yonas came to clear Yasmine's name from some nasty rumors. "Honestly, if they were just. friends, would he bother coming in person?" one student wondered aloud. "He could send an assistant to handle it."
It became clear that their connection was special. Plus, Yasmine and Yonas looked great. walking together. "If they ever end up together, can you imagine how gorgeous their kids will be?" someone added.
On 1 the school forum,
all the rumors about Yasmine were gone. In their place were photos of her and Yonas. The comment section was filled with people shipping the couple, while Yasmine and Yonas remained completely clueless about it. Inside the classroom, the gossip about Selena making baseless accusations against Yasmine spread like crazy. People started looking at Helen with distrust.
One girl scoffed, "Can you believe it? Her son cheated on Yasmine, and now she's blaming Yasmine just to get back a pile of cash and some houses. What a witch."
"I'd rather marry a nobody than deal with someone like Selena," another classmate added. "Yasmine is seriously unlucky to have that family."
"Did you see the video circulating? It's insane! Rich people really are stingy. How can they think that a few properties and some money can replace three years of someone's life?" Helen shot up from her seat, slamming her book down. "You guys have no idea what you're talking about!"
With clenched fists, she glared at her classmates and thought to herself, 'Yasmine must have some tricks up her sleeve to turn people against my family. Even Mom couldn't kick her out of the university, and now everyone is talking about us. If Xavier finds out, he's going to be so mad. Helen scrolled through the forum until she saw the top post-a picture of Yonas and Yasmine together. Jealousy bubbled up inside her. 'Yasmine really knows how to attract guys. No wonder people have changed their minds about her,' she thought.
One classmate rolled their eyes and teased, "Without Xavier, the Flynn family would be nothing. You're just riding his coattails." "Exactly! You act so high and mighty in front of us, but I bet up around real power," another chimed in..
ou don't even dare speak you
"Shut up!" Helen couldn't believe these students had the guts to insult her. "If you keep talking, I'll tell my brother to get you all expelled!" classmates exchanged glances and decided to stay quiet, but their looks toward Helen turned even more scornful.

Meanwhile, Yasmine and
Yonas walked out of the office together. They strolled down. the campus path, seemingly carefree, which allowed students to snap pictures and post. them online. Yasmine stole a glance at Yonas and said, "Thanks for earlier. If it weren't for you, I would've had a hard time dealing with it on my own."
Yonas chuckled. His smooth and charming sound made Yasmine's heart s**p a beat. She found herself mesmerized by his perfect profile. 'He's flawless in every way. I wonder what kind of woman could be worthy of him, she thought. When Yonas spoke again, Yasmine snapped back to reality. "No need to thank me. Just remember that you owe me a favor," he said with a playful grin.
Yasmine hesitated for a moment, knowing it wouldn't be easy to return Yo**s's favors, but she was determined to repay him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Russell. I'll definitely pay you back. I might not know exactly how I can help, but whatever you need, I'll do my best," she promised, looking directly into his eyes with seriousness.
Y**s's lips curled into a smirk, and his eyes sparkled like stars. He was mischievous yet captivating, almost like a sly fox.
Yasmine felt a flutter in her chest, but it was also like stepping into a trap. Not knowing the full picture, she decided to let it slide for now. She thought it would be wrong to just abandon him after he had helped her so much, so she saw him off. Meanwhile, Helen flung open the door when she got home, tossing her backpack into the arms of the s**nt. She looked furious as if she had just bitten into a sour lemon. "Mom, what the heck happened today? Yonas actually helped Yasmine! I'm so

embarrassed. I can't believe people are saying you're a terrible mother-in-law!"
"Can
you blame me for that?" Selena replied, her own mood darkening. Just thinking about how things had turned out made her feel frustrated.
"If Yonas hadn't jumped in, I would've had that university kick Yasmine out for sure. But instead, he helped her and even threatened me. Ifheally pulls the Flynn family's shares from Aurelith University, imagine how Xavier will react." Selena had hoped to threaten the university leaders, but Yonas used the shares to threaten her instead. Arguing wouldn't help, so she was left with no choice but to back down.
"So what do we do now?" Helen fumed, thinking about how her classmates had looked at her today. She was part of the Flynn family, and the family getting humiliated like this affected her just as much.
Normally, everyone treated her with respect, flattering her, but now they dared to mock her. There's no way she'd let it go.
Outside, Yvette was about to walk in when she overheard the shouting. She raised an eyebrow, puzzled. In all her time here, she had never seen Helen and Selena argue like this.
"Mrs. Flynn, Helen, what's going on?" Yvette asked gently. When she stepped into the room, her arms were still full of shopping bags. There's no need to fight. We can work. it out together. I brought some gifts for both of you-some bags and jewelry. What do you think?" Selena and Helen indeed liked Yvette. However, despite Yvette doing a lot for Matthew, his attitude towards her remained lukewarm. So she decided to win over these two women, making sure they stood firmly by her side. She was determined to marry into the Flynn family.
Selena and Helen perked up, their anger momentarily forgotten as they eagerly tore into the bags. "Yvette, you're so thoughtful!" Selena exclaimed. "You're much better than Yasmine. Just thinking about her makes me mad."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
