Rebirth 40
Ximena couldn't hide her envy as she flattered Helen. "Oh my gosh, Helen! Xavier treats you so well. I heard the CEO is super busy, but he still finds ti to pick you up." Helen loved the compliments. A smirk crossed her face as she replied. "Hmph, obviously! My brother is the best. He spoils me rotten."
"Seriously. Helen, I'm so jealous. You've got the looks, a great family, and an awesome brother... Ugh. I haven't even been in a Maserati, Ximena complimented. She believed Helen would let her take it for a spin. That way, she could snap some pictures and show off to her high school friends. Just as Ximena thought, Helen scoffed, "You're really acting all starry-eyed. I'll have Xavier give you a ride later." With that, she strutted over to Xavier.
"Hey, what brings you here to pick me up today, Xavier?" Helen called out, savoring the envious stares from her classmates. She had never felt so important.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Sure, she'd had a driver before, but Xavier always insisted she keep a low profile, so she usually rode around in a ten-thousand-dollar Audi. Everyone knew she was a Flynn, but it didn't give her any real prestige. Xavier frowned. "Why haven't you gone home yet?"
Helen paused and felt Ximena's questioning eyes on her. A wave of frustration washed. over her, but she tried to hint to Xavier to lighten up. "Come on, you're joking, right? You're here to pick me up... Hey! Xavier!" Before she could finish, Xavier ignored her and walked past toward the school. calling out loudly, "Yasmine!"

Helen turned to see Xavier blocking Yasmine's way. 'Seriously? He only comes to my school once in a while, and it's not even for me-it's for Yasmine'
She shot a glare at Ximena. "What are you staring at? Xavier has other things going on this time. Next time, I'll let you ride with us. When have I ever let you down?"
Ximena rolled her eyes inwardly while forcing a smile. "Of course, I believe you, Helen. But why is your brother after Yasmine? Didn't you say he couldn't stand her?"
Thinking back to the drama from last night, Helen guessed Xavier must have found out about Yasmine's affair and was probably there to ask her to give back Silver Oak Villa. Helen let out a cold laugh. "It's none of your business. Anyway, she won't get anything
good from him. Soon, I'll have my name on a luxury villa that'll make Yoselin's place look pathetic."
Yasmine frowned as Xavier blocked her path. She had struggled to understand this guy. but after the divorce, it was even trickier, and since then, she'd seen him more times. Now, she wasn't fond of the Flynn family at all. "Get out of my way, Mr. Flynn."
Even though Yasmine was taller than most women, Xavier towered over her, a mix of emotions in his eyes. "You never used to say that to me."
Yasmine chuckled softly, meeting his gaze. "Mr. Flynn, does Ms. Grant know you're looking for me? You've always claimed you couldn't get over her, yet now that you're with her, you begin to think about me?"
