Chapter 9
Despite the Brooks family spending a significant amount of money, they still couldn’t persuade Gideon to relent. Initially, Sheena assumed Jasmin would back down, but to her surprise, Jasmin took an unexpected turn–she convinced Travis to step in as a negotiator!
Meanwhile, Travis continued speaking without regard to her feelings. “Anyway, your account is anonymous. If you just give it to Jasmin, Gideon will definitely take her as his student.”
“Jasmin has great talent in painting, and if she learns from Gideon, she’ll definitely become a world–renowned artist in the future!”
Seeing the pride unconsciously shining on Travis‘ s face, Sheena couldn’t help but ask, “And what about me?”
Gideon hadn’t taken a student in decades,

and this was practically her only chance. If
she missed it, she doubted there would
ever be another.
“You?” Travis looked at Sheena with a puzzled expression. “I’ve already promised to marry you. You‘ ll be my wife in the future. What more do you want?”
Sheena felt as though she had heard the greatest joke. Scoffing, she spat,
“Impossible!”
Her firm tone made Travis momentarily pause. “What did you say?”
“I won’t give my account to Jasmin!”
Sheena retorted.
Looking into her eyes, which seemed almost filled with hatred, an unexplained. anger flared up inside Travis. “Sheena, let me tell you, I know all your account passwords. So, whether you want to or not, you’ll give it up!”
In the past, there had been no secrets between Sheena and Travis, including the

But the closeness they once shared now felt like a sharp thorn, driving directly into the Sheena’s chest.

Furious, Travis pulled over and shoved Sheena out of the car without warning.
“You should reflect on yourself!” he snarled.
He left her on the mountain road, even forcefully smashing her phone on the ground.
There was hardly anyone around, and Sheena couldn’t get a taxi. She had no choice but to drag her injured leg and run ichoward the Brooks family villa.

ignored it, pushing herself forward with all her might.
How long she crawled, she didn’t know, but when she was finally exhausted, she made it back to the villa just as dawn broke.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
The servants were excitedly discussing how the Brooks family’s young miss had been officially accepted as a student by Gideon, marveling that the Brooks family was about to have a world–class artist.
Sheena grabbed their phones and discovered that last night, Jasmin had logged into her “Rose” account and posted a video thanking Gideon.
The fans were cheering, praising Jasmin not only for her exceptional talent in painting but also for her good looks. They tagged Gideon, urging him to take Jasmin
as his last student.
And just ten minutes ago, Gideon had

Sheena felt her heart shatter into countless pieces, beyond repair.
Stephen was the first to see her, collapsed on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. But he averted his eyes, unable to meet her
gaze.
Soon, Amanda came over.
She had originally intended to scold. Sheena for being missing all night, but upon seeing her pale, disheveled face, she was struck speechless.
Sheena looked at them, and asked in trembling voice, “You both knew about Jasmin using my account, didn’t you?”
Neither Amanda nor Stephen spoke, but their expressions were both unnaturally
stiff.

“This is a severance agreement,” she intoned coldly. “After leaving the Brooks family, I will sever my ties with you and no longer carry the Brooks family name. Please sign it.”
Amanda’s face instantly turned pale, and she instinctively refused.
Stephen stormed over and shouted,
“Sheena, what are you doing? It’s just a little punishment for Jasmin! Do you really need to go this far?”
“If you don’t sign, I won’t go to the Wilson family. I think-” She trailed off, her voice carried a hint of sarcasm. “The Wilson family‘ s car should be waiting outside by now, right?”
At that moment, Jasmin suddenly appeared from somewhere, throwing herself at Amanda‘ s arms as she cried, “Mom, how can you bear to send me to the Wilson.

Christopher also entered the room with a cold face. He snatched the severance agreement from Sheena’s hands and signed it without hesitation.
“We’re just asking you to do your sister a favor, yet you‘ re causing such a scene ne over something so trivial. I really don‘ t think you deserve to carry the Brooks name!”

Sheena immediately handed over the Do second document. “This is my letter of annulment for the engagement with the Flores family. Please give this along with the necklace to Travis.”
This time, Jasmin eagerly took the letter. “Don’t worry, Sis. I’ll make sure to deliver it to Travis.”
Sheena withdrew her hand, grabbed her luggage, and walked out without a second glance.
