Semua Bab She Hid My Heels Under Her Clothes: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Elena let out a sharp scream and dove under the blanket before bursting into tears. Everyone around us froze, stunned by what I had just done."Are you out of your mind, Jasmine?" Miles snapped out of his shock and snatched the cameraman's camera with a hardened expression. "We're in public, and someone's filming here. How could you lift a young woman's skirt? You're unbelievable!" I shook the wedding shoe in my hand. "She tied the shoe to her waist and asked you guys to grab it. Wasn't she asking for someone to reach under? You couldn't do it, so I helped you. What's wrong with that?"His brows knitted together. "She was just messing around. Did you really have to go that far?"The groomsmen chimed in one after another."We're guys, and even we know how humiliating that was. You've really crossed a line, Jasmine.""Ellie loves to joke around. You're her best friend. How can you be this petty?"Elena's sobs only grew louder when they took her side. Miles shoved me toward th

Elena, who was standing beside us, took a deep breath, almost as if she had made a difficult decision. "Miles, let me take Jasmine's place and go through the wedding with you. She needs time to calm down. I can't bear to watch you and your family struggle like this."He took one long look at me, and his eyes were filled with disappointment. In the end, he turned to Elena and nodded. "Alright."Before he left, he spat out, "You should reflect on your actions and thank Elena."…He slammed the door shut, causing my ears to ring for several seconds. Silence settled back over the house. Even my phone stopped buzzing.I felt as though my heart had a gaping hollow. It was as if the day had strapped me into a roller coaster and hurled me down the steepest fall. In the span of a few hours, we went from standing at the edge of marriage to breaking up. However, those few hours allowed me to see their true colors.It was impossible not to grieve after losing my boyfriend, whom I've date

Miles turned and stared at my secretary. "Are you sure you didn't mix her up with someone else, Ms. Patton? How could she possibly be your Deputy CEO? The letter of intent stated that the executive in charge of signing is a foreign Deputy CEO with an Aelish name!"Elena giggled into her hand and covered for me. "Jasmine's just too eager to prove herself, Miles. Being a corporate executive has always been her dream. She's just playing pretend."Then, she reached out and tried to pull me away. "Let's get off the stage first, Jasmine. Don't get in their way, okay?""The letter of intent is correct." Ignoring her, I calmly took out my passport and flipped it open to reveal my Aelish name. "I only use my Hanic name when I'm here. It's only natural that you weren't aware."Elena went from shocked to angry in seconds. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked out, "Jasmine! I'm your best friend. I can't believe you had such a high standing, and you hid it from me for so long! What did

At some point, Elena had followed me out. She had that overly friendly smile, as if nothing had ever happened between us."Jasmine," she chirped, "you really played this close to the chest. Look how messy things are now. Since you don't want Miles anymore, why don't you let me have him?"I continued on my way. "Miles isn't worth fighting over.""He may not matter to you, but to me, he's a pretty good catch." She inched closer to me and asked tentatively, "Ms. Hansen, I helped you end that ill-matched marriage. In return, can you give me a little boost? If you can make it to Deputy CEO, I can land a position as a general manager." We had gone our own ways when we were still young, so she knew nothing about my family background. My parents had established IS Global Group overseas and gradually expanded it into what it was today. I had relied on them, but my position wasn't handed to me on a silver platter.Precisely because I was their daughter, they pushed me harder than anyone

The last time Miles proposed, it hardly felt like a real proposal. It happened only because I accompanied him to his childhood friend's wedding. While watching the couple exchange vows, he said, "We should settle down too." I had taken those words to heart and threw myself into planning our wedding.Looking back, I realized I had been too inexperienced. Our relationship had never been tested, yet I blindly believed everything would naturally work out. I looked down at him without the slightest ripple in my heart. "I need to clarify something, Mr. Lawson. I wasn't getting back at you. I was simply handling a breach of contract terms."He stubbornly held the ring up to me. "Elena and I were just putting on an act. You're the only one I ever wanted to marry!"I shook my head and took another step back. "Is sleeping with her also part of your act, Miles?"I pulled up a photo on my phone, one I hadn't shown the media. It was another picture from Elena's honeymoon diary. In the c
