Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 330

"Please just get straight to the point, Miss Zorn," said Kendall monotonously. "Your affability scares me."

Yasmine was rendered somewhat speechless. "Kendall, do you like… people who are mean to you?"

She nearly asked Kendall if she liked being a b*tch.

"I like people to treat me nicely, but you're not in the mix. I'm well aware of the ideas you have toward me. Your affability only makes me suspicious of you. You're not trying to throw me to the bottom of the ocean, are you?"

Beyond livid, Yasmine really wanted to just walk away. However, she held back the urge when she recalled how Benjamin had been running everywhere, looking utterly troubled lately.

It was only after 'interrogating' Brian that she learned their family business was now facing attacks from Coleman Empire Holdings and Mendelson Group. It was as if the two big shots had made a pact to crack down on Zorn Holdings with their best efforts.

If Zorn Holdings hadn't been powerful enough, they'd long be in a financial crisis.

However, it didn't mean that the company was doing comfortably either, or her ever-lofty brother, Benjamin, wouldn't humble himself and seek Dylan and Frank time and time again, even going as far as making a trip to Parker Corporation to alleviate the tension with them.

Alas, all of this was her fault. If she hadn't asked Benjamin to seek revenge for her, their family business wouldn't have ended up in such a difficult position.

"Think however you want of me, Kendall, but I'm not here to cause you trouble today. I'll ask you again, do you want to come out, or do you want me to go in?"

"You said you're in R&R Cafe, right?" Kendall agreed to meet up after some thought. "Okay, I'll meet you there."

Letting Yasmine into the company might disturb everyone else from their work if this headstrong chick suddenly got willful.

"I'll be waiting. What would you like to drink? I'll order it for you."

"An americano will do. Thanks."

"You like Americano too?" Yasmine asked in surprise. She liked drinking Americano as well.


"You too? Huh, who would have thought we'd have something in common." Kendall chuckled self-deprecatingly.

She never really acquainted herself with Yasmine in both lives, and her perception of this woman remained bratty, unreasonable, blindly assisting Kelly, and humiliating her. As such, this caused others to ridicule her.

"Don't do that. That laughter of yours makes me want to snap at you. I hate people who sneer like that."

"Do you really expect people not to do whatever you hate? No one owes you anything, Miss Zorn. They don't have to humor you unconditionally."

Yasmine fell silent briefly before toning down her voice. "I'll be here waiting."

With that, she ended the call, for she feared things would go south if the conversation went on, and Kendall would decide not to meet up.

Then, she picked up her cup of coffee and took a big sip with narrowed eyes, feeling that the anger Kendall stirred was successfully doused by the sip of Americano.

Following that, she made a second call.

"Jeffrey," she said sweetly after the person answered the call.

A smile spread across Jeffrey Schubert's face when he heard Yasmine's sweet voice, and he asked dotingly, "What's up?"

"The operation I told you last night can commence now."

Jeffrey smiled in response. "Alright, then. I'll be sure to capture all your whereabouts and the people you meet today on camera."

"Thanks, Jeffrey. I'll buy you lunch some other day," Yasmine thanked him with a smile.

The Schuberts and Zorns used to be neighbors, and their social status used to be on par. But with time, Zorn Holdings got better, leaving Schubert Holdings behind to become the biggest corporation in Orapolis, only second to Coleman Empire Holdings. With that, the Zorns moved away and were no longer neighbors with the Schuberts.

Jeffrey and Brian used to be schoolmates, and since they were neighbors, Jeffrey would often hang out at the Zorn's and was exceptionally fond of Yasmine, who was four years younger than him.

Even after the two were no longer neighbors and he rarely visited the Zorns after their move, he still kept in touch with Yasmine.

"Why not today? The last time I saw you was on your birthday. I've been missing you since," Jeffrey said half truthfully.

The Schuberts' social status in Orapolis remained as it was decades ago, long extruded from the high society.

Yasmine smiled in response. "Alright, we'll meet up for lunch later. Where's your new company at? Send me your address, and I'll pick you up."

"Sure, I'll send it to you in a bit."

Apart from helping his father manage their family business, Jeffrey was also starting his own company. He didn't want to take over the family business, which he would only resort to if his start-up failed horribly.

Yasmine received Jeffrey's location pretty quickly after the call ended, and she replied with an emoji.

"Excuse me."

A server approached Yasmine and asked politely, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Another cup of Americano, please."
