Chapter 21 " Who did you say ? Yasmin Beech ? " I asked , unable to believe my ears . Mom nodded . " Yeah . Your brother has been so tight - lipped about it . Apparently , they've been together for a while , but he kept it from us to avoid causing her any trouble since she's a celebrity . " Dad chuckled . " No wonder he's never had a woman around and never brought up marriage . We thought something was wrong with him ! Turns out , he'd had someone in his heart all along ! " Their words turned my world upside down . Yasmin and Timothy already had a three - year - old daughter , yet she was stringing Jonathan along ? And she was in Barry Isle with Timothy . How did Jonathan fit in there ? When had their relationship started ? The questions left my face pale . Mom noticed and asked with concern , " Josie , what's wrong ? " I struggled to find the right words . I wanted to expose Yasmin's true colors , but seeing how pleased she and Dad were with her , I decided to test the waters first . " You guys saw those rumors about Yasmin recently , right ? She's got a sugar daddy , and the guy's silhouette doesn't look like Jonathan at all . " Mom's expression darkened at my words . " Those are just rumors spread by the tabloids to smear Yasmin's reputation ! You're supposed to be an entertainment journalist . Don't you know how these things work ? " Dad nodded . " I saw that article . The man's face was blurred out . No one can see anything . Slandering a young woman based on that isn't fair , is it ? " Seeing how thoroughly deceived my parents were , I wanted to expose Yasmin right then and show them the high- definition photos I had bought for ten million dollars . I could even take them to the Grant residence so they could see for themselves what their future daughter - in - law was really like . But when the words were on the tip of my tongue , I switched strategies . ' Has Jonathan brought her home to meet you guys yet ? Or have you met her family ? " Mom beamed . " We're eager for that , but Jonathan says that the paparazzi are always on her tail because she's a celebrity . He's making the necessary arrangements , and he'll bring her to meet us by next week at the latest ! " My heart sank , but I kept my expression neutral . I said , " Mom , you have to let me know when Jonathan brings her over next week . I want to meet my future sister - in - law , too . She's a glamorous star that I can only see on TV , after all . " Mom said happily , " Sure . Make sure to bring Timothy with you , too . We can have a meal together as a proper family . " " Absolutely , " I said solemnly . How could I let Timothy miss such a good show ? I couldn't wrap my head around it , though . Yasmin already had a child with Timothy , and he doted on her so much . It was likely that she would soon become his wife . So why was she still stringing Jonathan along ? Afraid of tipping her off , I said , " By the way , don't tell Jonathan that I'll be back on that day . Just tell him that it'll only be you and Dad meeting Yasmin . " " But why ? " Mom asked , puzzled . 1/2 Chapter 21 +25 BONUS I smiled . " Think about it . She's a big star , and her schedule is tightly guarded . I'm an entertainment journalist , so my job is a little sensitive . If she finds out about it , would she dare come here with Jonathan ? She might not even dare to marry him ! " Mom's face grew tense at that . Worried that Yasmin would be scared off by this , she said , " You're right . It's a good thing you thought this through . We'll keep this from Jonathan for now so that Yasmin doesn't feel shy knowing that there will be so many people around to meet her . "
