Chapter 30 I warned Christine , " I just want you to know that Yasmin is my husband's mistress . From now on , don't involve me in anything related to her ! " With that , I ignored her shocked expression and left her office . She rejected my resignation application . If I quit without permission , they had the right to withhold my press card and certificates . So , in the end , I stayed . At the same time , half a day's work had piled up because I'd missed the morning . I had to stay late to finish it . The light remained on in the director's office . At around 9:00 pm , when I was wrapping up my work , Christine approached my desk and tentatively asked , ' What you said this afternoon - is it true ? Yasmin is involved with a married man ? " I looked at her . " It sounds like you're not that close with your future sister - in - law . You don't even know who she's with . " 11 She snorted and crossed her arms , growling , " I'll be honest - if it weren't for her , my boyfriend and I would've been married by now . I've put up with her long enough ! Maybe we can team up , Josie . We've got a common enemy , after all . " I only had three words for her offer to form an alliance . " I'm not interested . " Christine was set to become family with Yasmin , after all . Right now , she resented the latter for delaying her marriage , but what if Yasmin eventually accepted her ? I'd be the one Christine would throw under the bus I was done with my work , so I packed my bag to leave . Christine grabbed me and asked , " Is your husband the one who got her started in the industry ? I heard he spent a fortune and pulled all the strings he could find to make her stand out from those Kyrian trainees . Without him , Yasmin wouldn't be where she is . " Her words made me do the math . Back when I was an entertainment journalist , I had researched Yasmin's background . She was 16 when she was a trainee and 18 when she debuted as a member of a girl group . If Christine were right , Timothy would have already met Yasmin six years ago . He had even funneled resources and connections to help her debut . If he was already into her back then , why did he propose to me and marry me fo years ago ? When Christine saw that I was no longer in a hurry to leave , she smirked . " So ? Is it your husband ? " A jolt ran through me . Timothy seemed an unlikely choice ; Jonathan was the likelier one . Six years ago , Jonathan had frequently flown to Kyria for a partnership with a company there . I remembered it clearly because I had been a fan of a Kyrian celebrity at the time . I had asked Jonathan to get me an autograph . Could Jonathan be the one who had poured resources into Yasmin's debut ? I asked Christine , " Do you know the guy's last name ? " She frowned . " Nope . All I know is that Yasmin's family was just middle - class back then . It's impossible that they would have had the capital to boost her career . Things are different now , though . Her father and brother are big 1/2 Chapter 30 +25 BONUS names in the academic community . " " Oh . Good luck dealing with your sister - in - law , then . " I brushed off Christine's proposal . I didn't want to be her pawn . She probably felt slighted when she saw that I wasn't swayed after her long spiel . " I gave you a chance , Josie , and you didn't take it . Don't forget that you're still under probation ! " I walked toward the door and waved a hand without looking back . " Fire me anytime ! " My mind was a mess on the way home . I grew more certain that Yasmin and Jonathan had gotten together ages ago . I just wasn't sure whether he knew that she already had a child with Timothy . I took out my phone and called home . Mom answered . " Mom , didn't you say that Jonathan would be bringing his girlfriend home this week ? Has he confirmed which day ? " I asked , a little anxious .
