Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Before I could say anything, Colin grabbed my shoulder and uttered to Jasmine's retreating silhouette, "Well, Jasmine, you've received our gift. Lulu and I have some other things to do. Enjoy the party and happy birthday. Goodbye."

Then, he grabbed me and left without looking back, not giving Jasmine a chance to make him stay. At that moment, he was like my superhero. His broad shoulder shielded me from heavy storms and strong wind.

Jasmine grew desperate. She quickly swerved in her wheelchair and begged Colin not to leave. Her wailing came out like a despondent woman crying for help. Colin pretended not to hear anything and left with me in big strides.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Amid the actions, I turned back and looked at Jasmine. Sitting in her wheelchair, she bit her lip in disappointment. When she noticed my gaze, her saddened eyes turned scornful as if I were her biggest enemy In her pursuit of a man that was never hers, she had turned into someone unrecognizable. Meeting her stare, I had an ominous feeling that she would come back and haunt me in the future. As she was unable to obtain Colin's love, her strong feelings might mutate into hatred. And she would direct it toward me.

But so be it. It was bound to happen anyway. After all, I did have the fine taste of snatching everyone's Prince Charming. So Jasmine could come at me if she wanted. I would overcome whatever she threw at me and never give Colin up.

Once we were outside the event hall, Colin let go of my hands, and his hands moved to my shoulder. His pace slowed down so that I could walk with him in my high heels. To the left of the hotel lobby was a ring of leather couches. My heel straps were loosened, so Colin guided me to the couch area to re-fasten them.

Hidden behind a pot of plants were several people on the couch. I could only make up their silhouettes and not their faces. They were talking in hushed voices. "Why do you think Jasmine held this party?" "Why else? Did you see Colin? She wants him badly."

"But Colin is so aloof. Have you seen his girlfriend? She's the prodigy from Lincoln University. She has become even more beautiful after all these years. While Jasmine is pretty too, she can't hold a candle to her. Colin isn't blind. Why would he pick Jasmine over Luna?"

"You're too naive. Jasmine can pull some tricks to influence Colin."

"Why would she steal him away?"

"Because it's better than marrying a 60-year-old man. Colin comes from a modest background but has immense potential. He's a gem that will shine in the future. Jasmine made the right choice by pursuing him."

"What do you mean a 60-year-old man?"

"Jasmine is the bastard child of the Taylor family. She carries their surname, but none of them will acknowledge her. To be recognized as one, she has pulled many dirty shehals tricks, but they never worked. "The matriarch of the Taylor family, Miranda, relented not long ago. She said that as long as Jasmine agreed to an arranged marriage, she might consider adding her to the family tree." "Did Jasmine say yes?"

"Of course not. But can she say no? Miranda can be quite obstinate. Once she makes a decision, no one cam change her mind. She has many ways to bend Jasmine to her will even if Jasmine fights back. I was told that they had accepted the dowry. Jasmine is marrying the old man, whether she likes it or not."
