"I'm glad you like it, Yvie. I wanted it to be a surprise, but it looks like it got spoiled," Sean said, trying to ease the tension.

Yasmin seethed at Sean's remark that she had ruined Yvette's surprise.

Sensing Yasmin's grievance, Sean tried to console her by saying, “Don't be upset, Yasmin. I'll get you something else, alright?" How could anything else compare to the crystal plano? Yasmin held back her anger as she sobbed, making her look even more fragile and pitiful. She shook her head. "No. It's okay, Sean. I don't need any gifts. I don't want anything." One of the household staff, who was always eager to curry lavor with Yasmin, stepped forward.

Sean didn't think Yvette had done anything wrong. He believed she was completely justified. That was precisely how Yvette should act! He wouldn't have to worry about her being mistreated anymore.

Sean's agreement with Yvette lett Yasmin seething with rage. She couldn't believe he was siding with Yvette. Yasmin suppressed her anger and said, “Sean, she simply misspoke. Isn't kicking her out a bit too harsh?" If the household staff member was dismissed, it would feel like a personal insult to Yasmin, since she showed that she favored Yvette. Wouldn't it indirectly humiliate Yasmin if the staff member was fired? Besides, who among the other household staff would even acknowledge her after such an incident? They'd all be rushing to suck up to that bi tch, Yvette! "Yasmin, I know you meant well, bur Wie's right. Someone who doesn't understand their place must leave Murray Manor!"
