Isaac was a teacher as well, so he wasn't really sure what Yasmin was playing at. “Tiffany has a pair of twins in her class. Mr. Sutton here is their uncle. He's here to pay us a visit.”

Having understood the situation, Yasmin replied with a smile, “I see. What a coincidence, Mr. Sutton. I wasn't expecting to see you in a private setting like this.”

Tiffany shot Yasmin a glance when she heard that. For some reason, she sensed something off about Yasmin's response.

Yasmin showed up outside our house yesterday with her suitcases. She said her house was sold off and that she needed a place to stay while waiting for the ownership transfer of her new house. Dad couldn't say no to her because my uncle looked after him when he was little. However, the fact that Mr. Sutton is paying us a visit a day after Yasmin moved in seems a bit too coincidental...

She was snapped out of her train of thought when Isaac's wife, Jennifer, served up dinner.

While having dinner, Yasmin would interrupt Tiffany's conversation with Cooper whenever she had a chance. Yasmin even went as far as emphasizing her close relationship with Isaac, making it seem as though she was his daughter.

That was when Tiffany realized what Yasmin's intentions were.

When Yasmin went to use the bathroom, Tiffany quickly excused herself and followed her inside. “Hey, Yasmin, did you move in with us because you knew Mr. Sutton would be coming today?”


“No, I didn't. I simply had no place to stay. Besides, you've stayed over at my place in the past,” Yasmin replied with a shrug.

Tiffany pursed her lips and said, “He's here to see me.”

“Pfft... He's just here to ask you how his niece and nephew are doing in school. What's so special about that? You don't think he's into you, do you?” Yasmin asked with a disdainful snort.

“He wouldn't have asked me if I have a boyfriend if he wasn't,” Tiffany replied.

After she was done applying her lipstick, Yasmin turned around and stared at Tiffany as she said, “All right, I'll be honest with you. I moved in with you because I'm working at Specter Corporation and know that Mr. Sutton is looking for someone to marry. You're not the only candidate, mind you. His secretary has contacted countless unmarried daughters of wealthy families. Do you really think a school teacher like you is worthy of dating Mr. Sutton? It's obvious that I'm the better choice here.”

“Did he send you a message and ask you if you have a boyfriend, though?” Tiffany asked.

The look on Yasmin's face changed the moment she heard that.

That reaction was all Tiffany needed to confirm her answer. Feeling triumphant that she had outdone Yasmin, Tiffany flashed her a smile and strutted out of the bathroom.

Yasmin cursed at Tiffany under her breath as she watched her go.

After taking a moment to regain her composure, Yasmin made her way back to the dining table. Upon seeing Tiffany serving Cooper, Yasmin decided to follow suit.

“Here, try this, Mr. Sutton. My aunt makes really great pork belly, but my mom can do it even better. You should give her cooking a try if you have the time!”

“It isn't healthy to eat too much meat, Mr. Sutton. Here, have some vegetables instead,” Tiffany said while topping his plate up with some broccoli.
