Jasmine cried out in pain.

In an instant, the exquisite diamond necklace that had been around her neck landed in Harvey’s hand.
Zoya paused, looking at Harvey. “What brings you here?”
Harvey walked up to her. “I called you earlier, and you said you were coming to the Lucero family, so I came to see you.”
Zoya then remembered that she had received a call from Harvey this morning while on her way to the Lucero family.
But at the time, she hadn’t expected Harvey to come here.
Nicolas stepped forward, angrily reprimanding Harvey, “Mr. Crawford, this is going too far. No matter what, you can’t do this. I could even accuse you of robbery!”
“Robbery?” Harvey scoffed, casually weighing the diamond necklace in his hand.
He said, “I’m just helping Zoya retrieve a portion of her joint property. Do you really think you can sue me over it?”
Nicolas was stunned. He had almost forgotten that Harvey’s maternal family was a renowned family of lawyers in Ranard City.
Many famous lawyers in Ranard City were disciples of Hadley Crawford, who was Harvey’s grandfather.
The four major law firms in Ranard City would follow the Crawford family’s lead.
Jasmine glared at Harvey resentfully and suddenly said, “Since when did you enjoy being a backup option so much?
“I didn’t realize Zoya was so capable. Seducing Wren isn’t enough. She even seduced you, Mr. Crawford.”
Zoya frowned, just about to speak, when Harvey had already stepped forward and delivered a sharp slap with a swift movement.
Jasmine’s cheek stung. She had just been slapped by Wren yesterday, and the swelling had only just started to go down, covered with a thick layer of foundation today.
Yet, she didn’t expect to get another slap from Harvey.

“Mr. Crawford, how could you do this!” Nicolas rushed forward to shield Jasmine.

“This is to tell her not to speak carelessly. If she dares to badmouth Zoya again, a slap won’t be enough to settle it!” Harvey said with a cold smirk.
The jealousy and hatred in Jasmine’s eyes deepened as she shouted at Zoya, “Zoya, do you always let other men handle things for you?”
“Are you sure you want me to make a move?” Zoya looked coldly at Jasmine. “If I take action, you won’t get off with just minor injuries like at the airport!”
Jasmine’s body suddenly stiffened. The incident at the airport was her lifelong disgrace.
Jasmine said through gritted teeth, “What did I do wrong? What I did at the airport was merely for the safety of all passengers.
“Zoya, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable, even instigating military personnel to call the police!”
Harvey interjected sarcastically, “How dare you call her despicable? It seems you learned anything from your time detained at the police station!”

“What do I need to reflect on? What did I do wrong? At the airport, I only requested to check the urn for the safety of everyone on the plane!” Jasmine said indignantly.
“If you still don’t think you’re wrong, then your career as a co-pilot is finished,” Zoya said coldly.
Jasmine glared at Zoya. “I know you’re just jealous of me because I’m the one Nicolas cares about, and I became a co-pilot. You will never be as good as me!”
Zoya hadn’t spoken yet when Harvey, standing nearby, burst out laughing.
He looked at Jasmine with disdain. “Ms. Ingram, how narcissistic are you? Do you honestly think anyone would be jealous because an idiot cares about you?”
Nicolas, who had been called an idiot, said. “Mr. Crawford, even if you want to back Zoya, you shouldn’t insult people like this!”
Harvey said languidly, “I didn’t insult you. I’m just stating facts,
“You claim credit for the company’s IPO, buy all sorts of jewelry for your mistress during your marriage, yet completely disregard your wife, who built the business with What else are you but an idiot?”
“You-” Nicolas’s face darkened further.

Harvey added, turning to Jasmine, “You’re just a co-pilot. Do you really think that makes you somebody?
“You probably couldn’t even identify all the fighter jets Zoya operated before!”
Jasmine’s face suddenly flushed crimson.
As if that wasn’t enough, Harvey continued, “Perhaps after a while, you won’t be a co-pilot
anymore.
“You don’t seriously think what you did at the airport can be resolved with just a few days of detention, do you?”
Jasmine’s face immediately turned from red to white. She looked coldly at Harvey, saying, “Whether I can continue as co-pilot isn’t something you can decide, Mr. Crawford!”
“We’ll see about that,” Harvey said, turning to Zoya, “Are you leaving? I’ll see you out.”
“Alright,” Zoya agreed.
Just as the two were about to leave, Nicolas suddenly stopped them, saying, “Mr. Crawford, please return the necklace!”
Harvey, however, handed the necklace to Zoya. “You should decide what to do with this
necklace.”
Zoya looked at the necklace in her hand, its diamonds sparkling brilliantly.
She had worked hard to build a business with Nicolas, yet he used the money they earned to buy jewelry for Jasmine.
This necklace felt like a mockery of her years of effort.
Nicolas said, “Zoya, I know I owe you, but the necklace belongs to Jasmine. Please return it to her. What I owe you, I will…”
“Nicolas!” Zoya cut him off, “How could you ever repay what you owe me?”
Her cold gaze made Nicolas’s heart tremble.
Her gaze at him has never been so cold, as if he were now nothing more than an insignificant person to her.
Zoya said, “What do you mean the necklace belongs to Jasmine? You gave her something using our joint marital property while we were married, and I never agreed to it.

“So this necklace was never hers to begin with. Why should I return to her? When I get back to Ranard City, I will sue to reclaim everything!”
She compromised repeatedly, yet they took it for granted. She felt that it was ridiculous.
Jasmine said angrily, “Zoya, in the end, you still want money. During the divorce, you claimed you only wanted 500 thousand dollars.
“However, now, you’re eyeing these jewels for their value, which is why you want to take them!”
Zoya retorted impolitely, “What about you then? You don’t want money? Then why accept these jewels?
“You don’t want people to call you a mistress, yet you accept these jewels. Couldn’t you buy them yourself? Do you have to get them from a married man?”
Jasmine’s face turned beet red with
anger.
At the time, they were outside the Lucero family, and the Lucero family’s security guards were also present.
They all heard what Zoya said.
“Let’s go,” Zoya said to Harvey.
“Okay,” Harvey replied obediently, a stark contrast to his arrogance toward Nicolas and Jasmine.
Jasmine said to Nicolas, “Nicolas, Zoya was utterly outrageous just now. If she wanted these jewels, she could have just said so.
“I might have given them to her. But her behavior is clearly contradictory. I despise such people. I will never let her have her way!”
Nicolas simply stared blankly at the departing car, his mind replaying Zoya’s indifferent gaze.
When she left, she didn’t even spare him another glance.
He thought, ‘Does she truly not care about me now?’
Nicolas felt a sharp pain in his chest, a pain that slowly spread throughout his body with his
blood flow.
