The Reincarnation of the Tough Empress Being a Neglected Wife
eps. 27

Jasmine and Elliot stare dislike the togetherness of Az and Devan that afternoon. The chatty Devan and Az are unaware of their presence until Elliot reprimands Devan.

"Hi Devan....!" hello Elliot.

"Oh hai man, you're here too" Devan said.

Az who saw two people who were very disgusting to him was just silent reluctant to greet them.

"Yes, we are traveling around looking for a suitable gift for Lady Azelia's birthday gift" Elliot replied.

"Why did you get to be with my brother?" ask Jasmine.

"You brothers?" ask Devan.

"The idea isn't." Az replied flatly.

"Why is my brother talking like that? Even though brother had done evil to Jash, Jash never did not think that Az's brother was Jash's sister." asked Jasmine with her contorted sad face.

"You want to keep on playing a sinless girl or take me home? I'm tired of wanting to sleep." Az asked Devan.

"Sorry we have to leave immediately" Devan said.

"But, I...."

"Sorry lady, but we can't serve you for now. We have to go." said Devan, who had seen Az's dislike face.

"Had Jash not grieved just because of a sly brother like that" Elliot said.

"So your mouth is Elliot even if we're friends I can't....."

"It's Dev, we're leaving now" said Az and they left without a care with two people staring at them.

"Why do you have to be sad just because of a cunning woman like her?" elliot asks who sees Jasmine crying while pretending to be sad to make Elliot hate Az even more.

"Don't say that, baby. However she is my sister." said Jasmine and Elliot immediately hugged her.

Elliot feels guilty for having suspected Jasmine earlier because of Az's remark. He felt sorry to see Jasmine who was sad to be ignored by Az even though behind the embrace Jasmine smiled cunningly because it managed to make Elliot hate Az even more.

"Here it is, she never considered yourself her sister why do you keep defending her. We'd better go home, I remember that I'm gonna have to meet an important client soon. You go home with the driver, yes, I will ask the driver to pick us up." said Elliot reasoned.

Despite trying to hate Az and assuming Az is a bad woman, Elliot still does not like to see Az close to other men.

"Let me take a taxi. There's no need to call the driver any longer this afternoon nothing will happen to me." Jasmine refused.

Jasmine decides to take a taxi so she can go out with her friends to party until morning.

"Alright, be careful and call directly if something happens" Elliot said.

Jasmine nodded, Elliot immediately left without waiting for Jasmine to get a taxi and without peeking at Jasmine's cheek as he usually did when going parting ways with Jasmine.

"I'd better call Jeri to pick me up here" Jasmine said as Elliot's car was no longer visible.

"Tut tut tut's."

"Yes Hello what's the matter, baby?" ask for a voice across the phone.

"Fetch me on xxx street." replied Jasmine.

"Are you not with your stiff lover?" ask Jeri.

"Well, baby, but remember I want to be satisfied tonight. I've been missing a hot night with you." said Jeri.

"Hm, I also miss hot and passionate nights with you." Jasmine Saut's.

"What about your girlfriend? Is he exciting?" ask Jeri.

"She was too monotonous, boring me. Why are you asking me to answer? Hurry up and get me. You have to arrive in 10 minutes or I'll pick another one for a fun friend tonight" Jasmine said.

...----------------...

"Why am I still reminded of that cunning woman? Why Devan was able to fall into a trap from the woman when in yesterday's show he himself knew the woman was with the old man." muttered Elliot who was already in his study.

He decided to go there because he wanted to busy himself completing a pile of tasks so as not to always imagine the beautiful face of Az who was getting more beautiful in his opinion.

Instead of succeeding, Elliot could not concentrate on his work and instead continued to remember his treatment of As in the past.

"Is he like this because I was too cruel to him when we were together?" he remembers the past.

Elliot in the past even on the first night after their wedding, he ignored Az. Not even afraid to be rude to him.

The flash back

Elliot, who is very happy on his wedding day, does not yet know that the bride-to-be has changed. How surprised he was when he finished saying the wedding promise and opened the face cover of his bride, the woman who married him was not the woman he wanted.

"Why did this girl become his bride? Where's Jasmine? Have I been deceived by this family?" inner Elliot.

Not wanting to be embarrassed in front of the guests, Elliot continued the event as if nothing had happened. At the reception Elliot sees Jasmine and it is the first time Jasmine sees Elliot and regrets letting Az take his place.

"Is that handsome guy Elliot? Why are people saying that he is a very cruel old man?" inner Jasmine.

Jasmine sees Elliot will turn to her trying to put on a sad face because he knows that Elliot wants her.

"I have to see how he reacts to seeing me grieve tonight. If she reacts, then it is indeed me that she wants and if my guess is correct, she will ask why I did not become her bride today. I have to make sure that I'm forced to let go of this marriage." Jasmine's inner.

"Isn't that Jasmine?" inner Elliot.

"He looked at me with a questionable look. I had to herd him away from the crowd in order to master the situation." Jasmine's inner self then left that place.

Elliot leaves the stage on the grounds of wanting to go to the toilet and soon catches up with Jasmine who is already pretending to cry.

"Why are you crying here alone?" ask Elliot.

"I'm sorry I have to go" said Jasmine pretending to want to leave but inwardly wishing Elliot had held her back and sure enough, Elliot held onto his wrist.

"Where are you going?" ask Elliot.

"I was naive to think that I would be willing to give my future husband to my brother because he wanted him. But, I turned out to be unwilling and my heart ached, it hurt so much." Jasmine made Elliot frown confused.

"What do you mean is that you were forced to give up this marriage because your brother wanted me?" ask Elliot.

"A I was wrong to say, sorry brother-in-law I thought you were someone else" Jasmine pretended to be surprised to see Elliot talking to her.

"You can't lie anymore. Tell me what's going on or I have to bankrupt Harris's family." Elliot threatened.

"Successfully." inwardly Jasmine who was already smiling while looking down.

"Don't, don't do that brother-in-law. I had to do that for the sake of my brother Az's happiness. She wanted to have a rich husband and I had to sacrifice for my love for her" Jasmine replied
