Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 433 - A lot of women in this company have a crush on you

Coco finally turned completely toward Jasmine, stepping closer so the rich, heavy scent of her expensive perfume floated through the air between them.

Jasmine barely noticed it, her eyes stayed glued on Esperanza, whose bright, cheerful giggles kept drifting over from the pond.

The little girl was laughing her head off as the ducks waddled straight toward her, greedily snapping up every piece of feed she tossed into the water.

The happy sounds made Jasmine smile softly. Knowing Esperanza was safe and having so much fun helped ease the knot in her chest. Only then did she turn her full attention back to Coco.

"It’s simple," Coco said with a confident smile curving her lips. She reached out and took Jasmine’s hands before she could even react, slipping a tiny object into her palm and gently closing her fingers around it.

Jasmine frowned and opened her hand to stare at the thing. It was so small it could’ve easily passed for an ordinary button. "What is this?"

"A hidden camera," Coco answered without missing a beat. "Plant it somewhere that gives me a clear view of Seraphine’s daily life. I especially want to know every time she’s spending time with other men." Her voice dropped lower as she leaned in closer.

Jasmine’s brows pulled together tightly. She looked from the tiny device back up to Coco, totally thrown off.

A deep wave of unease wash over her. There was something really unsettling about the way Coco talked, like she had everything mapped out from the very start and nothing could stop her.

"If you do this for me..." Coco reached into her designer purse and pulled out an elegant business card, placing it right into Jasmine’s hand next to the tiny camera.

"I’ll completely change your life. You’ll never have to worry about money again." Her eyes sparkled with pure confidence. "But you have to move fast. The second you plant that camera, call me." She lightly tapped Jasmine’s closed fist. "Trust me, your big breakthrough is sitting right there in your hand."
