Chapter 787: The Humblest Requirement

When he thinks about his recent situation and what she has done for him, Pehry feels extremely guilty.

Jasmine laughs and says, "I'm very happy that you think so."

She doesn't want much, so long as what she does will not be neglected.

They sit quietly in the car for a while. Jasmine is actually a little vacillating. She has been hesitating
whether to tell him what Alfred did.

However, after thinking for a while, she decides not to cause any trouble for him.

Seeing that it is already late, Pehry calls the driver over again. They head back to the villa.

Jasmine looks out of the window. Her left hand is held by the man beside her, and she feels warm
inside.

Forget it. No matter how much Alfred objects to her being with Pehry, as long as they are in love with
each other, it is enough.

Jasmine believes in love, so she is confident that she can survive all of this.

After returning home, Jasmine is already a little sleepy. Pehry hasn't washed up yet, and his body is
with the smell of alcohol. He goes into the bathroom to take a bath.

He takes a quick bath. When he comes out of the bathroom, he finds that the little darling who is lying
on the bed has already fallen asleep.

She must be very tired.

Pehry sits by the bed and gently covers the blanket on her. Under the dim light, the girl's skin seems to
be glowing.



Even though Jasmine doesn't care about his family's attitude, she still feels that she owes Pehry a lot.

He is in love with her. She gives him her most precious thing, so he will naturally treat her well.

However, because of Alfred, he has no choice but to stay away from her. It isn't that he doesn't miss
her. He is afraid that this innocent little girl will be hurt.

Pehry doesn't care what happens to himself at all. He is already used to Alfred's style of doing things.
Although he feels unhappy to be asked to be in charge of family affairs, he definitely will not be
defeated.

However, Jasmine isn't like this. Her courage comes from her ignorance of another dark world, and he
doesn't want her to understand it. Therefore, during this special period, he tries his best to avoid
meeting her.

Apart from his family, there are many people focusing at him. Pehry knows that this is something he
should endure, but he doesn't want Jasmine to endure it together with him.

He is even wondering if he should find a woman to stay by his side as a shield. If Jasmine is the only
one with him, she will easily become their target.

Pehry is afraid that Jasmine's life will be disturbed, so he feels that it is necessary.

He stands up and leaves. He walks out of the bedroom gently and closes the door, afraid that he might
wake up the little darling on the bed.

What's going on with things I told you to do last time?"

On the other end of the phone, there is his assistant's dazed and surprised voice. "Mr. Pehry, I've
already found two girls for you. One is a model in the entertainment industry. Now, she is using all kinds



of methods to get in touch with people from the upper echelons. The other is a celebrity. Her family
financial situation is bad now, but she is still very ostentatious."

Pehry listens expressionlessly, as if he were choosing an item that meets his requirements. "I'll take the
first one, it's good to be more eye-catching in the entertainment industry."

What he wants is exposure. He doesn't need to be focused by the public, but he needs to be fully
noticed by the people who are monitoring him.

What the entertainment industry values the most is exposure, so it will be more convenient for him to
deal with it.

The assistant hurriedly says, "I get it. I'll tell her to come to the office tomorrow."

"OK."

Pehry replies. Suddenly, he remembers something and says, "This must be kept a secret. You mustn't
tell anyone about it."

The assistant is a little worried, asking, "If Miss Jasmine asks...?"

"Don't tell her," Pehry says without hesitation, "I'll explain it to her myself."

"Yes, Mr. Pehry."

After hanging up the phone, Pehry stands beside the railing on the second floor and looks at the living
room. The square pattern is like a cage imprisoning him.

In the past, he treated women as his toys. As long as they performed well in the wine parties, Pehry
would generously give them rewards. However, there was no emotion in them.

But ever since he has been with Jasmine, he is not interested in other women at all.



It isn't that he has suddenly changed his personality. In fact, he has already tired of this life. He finally
meets a girl whom he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

However, oddly enough, he is forced to return to his previous state once again.

Although it is fake, he has to pretend well.

He thinks that he is a proud person. He will never force himself if he doesn't want to. But now, he has
no choice but to force himself.

There is always an irresistible anger in his heart, and he is extremely annoyed. He has never been so
helpless before, but thinking that he has done all this to protect Jasmine, he feels it is worth.

As long as she is safe and not implicated, there will not be the worst outcome.

In the quiet corridor, there is no sound at all. Jasmine is sleeping soundly in the bedroom. Pehry stands
there for a long time without moving.

His mind is full of things that might happen between them in the future. The nervousness forces him to
carefully protect this relationship. If he makes a single mistake, he might lose her.

Pehry can lose anything but Jasmine.

He can't even imagine the feeling of losing her, and it will probably be a hundred times more
uncomfortable than Alfred letting him return to his family to take over all of this.

In the past 33 years, he has been very tired.

This kind of life seems to be free, but it never belongs to him. There are always people watching behind
him and waiting for this moment to find an opportunity to threaten him back.

And now, the only thing that encourages Pehry to go ahead is Jasmine's safety.



Pehry gently closes his eyes. He is praying in his heart. He prays that Alfred will keep his promise. He
hopes that when he returns to his family, Alfred will spare Jasmine and approve their relationship.

As long as she is by his side, he is not afraid of being the puppet of his family for the rest of his life.
