Chapter 50
Meanwhile, Jasmine was to face accountability from Cloud Airlines’ senior management, while Nicolas was left at the airport. by himself.
His mind was still in a daze, only thinking about the last words Zoya said to him before she left the airport.
He thought, ‘Who saved me?
Was it Zoya, or Jasmine?’
The person he saw when he opened his eyes was Jasmine, and the hospital staff said that Jasmine was the one who sent him to the hospital.
But he wondered why Zoya would say that. Nicolas wondered if she was lying.
It felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making him breathless.
Back at the villa, as soon as Nicolas entered, he saw his mother and sister sitting on the sofa.
As soon as they saw him return, they immediately came up to him.
“Nicolas, what took you so long? You just needed to go to the City Hall to handle some paperwork. Could it be that Zoya refused to divorce?” Violette asked.
Considering Nicolas was the CEO of a listed company and a desirable catch in many people’s eyes, Violette felt that Zoya would naturally feel reluctant to leave him.
“Does she still think 500 thousand dollars isn’t enough?” Anica said indignantly, “If you ask me, 500 thousand dollars is already too much!”
“Mom, stop talking.” Nicolas rubbed his temples. “Zoya and I are already divorced!”
“Are you really divorced?” Anica’s face lit up with joy.
“I have no reason to lie,” Nicolas said.
Anica said delightedly, “That’s wonderful! It’s good they’re divorced. A woman like Zoya is simply not worthy of you.
“Jasmine is great. She’s a young lady from the Ingram family and a co-pilot. Having a daughter-in-law like her brings me so
much honor!”
She was already imagining the envious expressions of her relatives back home when they learned she had a wealthy young lady as a daughter-in-law.
Violette said gleefully, “After Zoya divorced you, she’ll live to regret it. Where else can she find a man as excellent as you?”
She then excitedly said to Nicolas, “Nicolas, when you and Jasmine get married, why don’t you send Zoya a wedding invitation and have her attend?”
“Jasmine and I are just friends,” Nicolas said with a frown.
Violette blurted out, “What friends? Nicolas, stop trying to fool Mom and me with that. We all know Jasmine holds a special place in your heart.
“You only married Zoya because Jasmine went abroad, and you were feeling down. Now that you’re divorced, you can finally be with Jasmine.”

“That’s right, we’re family, so let’s not be so formal. I understand what you want, and I’ll arrange your wedding with Jasmine after some time,” Anica said. *
Nicolas looked at his mother and sister, and a wave of weariness washed over him.
Without another word, he went straight upstairs and returned to his bedroom.
He thought, ‘Even my mother and sister don’t believe Jasmine and I are just friends.
‘Did my actions really cause so many misunderstandings?’
At first, he admired Jasmine, not only because she saved his life, but also because of her beautiful appearance and her status as a member of the Ingram family.
For him at that time, she was an unattainable presence.
He was very aware of the gap between them, so he had to hide this affection deep in his heart, even disguising his kindness towards her as “repaying a favor.”
But later, he married Zoya. He understood the responsibilities of marriage.
Even when Jasmine returned, and even if he still harbored admiration and gratitude for her, he never crossed the line with
She asked, “Are you also blaming me for being too reckless today? But I really wasn’t targeting Zoya. I was just thinking about safety. That’s why I acted that way.
“I know that I didn’t handle it properly, which is why it ended up like this.
“Actually, if Zoya had mentioned that her parents were martyrs and that she was holding their ashes, things wouldn’t have turned out this way at all.
“She was clearly doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to make a fool of me!”
Jasmine shifted all the blame onto Zoya again.
Nicolas looked at her. “But didn’t- Zoya’s friend shout at the time that those were martyrs’ ashes? You just didn’t believe it!”
Jasmine stiffened. “Nicolas, are you taking their side? Didn’t you say you would always take my side?”
Nicolas pursed his thin lips, not agreeing with Jasmine. “Let’s find a place to eat something.”
“Okay.” Jasmine nodded, but the moment Nicolas turned around, her eyes flickered.
She thought, ‘Nicolas’s attitude towards me has really changed!
‘Has he become suspicious because of what Zoya said when she left?
The most important thing for me now is to dispel his doubts!”
The two went to a restaurant near the airport, found a private room, and ordered two cups of coffee.
Jasmine said, “Because of today’s incident, I need to be suspended for a while, but I’ve also thought about it.
“In that case, I’ll have time to accompany you to Marabotara, introduce you to my mother’s family, and help facilitate connections for you.”
Nicolas was drinking coffee, but his mind was completely elsewhere. At this moment, he only cared about one thing.
He asked, “Jasmine, I want to ask you, who exactly was the person who rescued me from the river back then?”
At these words, Jasmine’s expression immediately changed.
