Because Iris was the ringleader in treating Jasmine as invisible.
The smile slowly faded from Jasmine’s face.
“Elise, if you’re worried about something, tell me. I’ll help you with anything. We’re friends, after all.”
As Elise pondered how to expand the business with Jasmine, she was surprised by the unexpected offer.
Elise chose Jasmine.
Not because of the soft word ‘friend’, but Jasmine’s talent was the major influence on her decision.
There was another reason.
‘Jasmine clashed with Princess Iris until the end.’
Jasmine’s aversion to Iris wasn’t evident during her unmarried days.
Only after Iris became a princess and Jasmine married a merchant, and successfully established a beauty-related business, did her aversion surface.
Only then did Iris start to respond.
‘Mostly with mockery. Saying she was sold off to a merchant.’
As far as Elise remembered, Jasmine had declined several requests for donations from Iris.
That memory moved Elise.
‘She once confided in a lady about disliking Iris since childhood.’
It seemed like a deeply rooted hatred. Elise bet on that negative sentiment.
But Jasmine wanted to work for her out of pure affection.
‘Regrettably.’
Thus, Elise’s resolve strengthened.
She didn’t want Jasmine to end up in a marriage scorned by others.
She wished Jasmine to be properly recognized in society.
She wanted her products to be sold at their true value.
“Jasmine, have you ever thought about fully utilizing your talent?”
“My, my talent?”
Jasmine’s eyes widened at the unexpected topic.
“Yes, your talent. In my opinion, you’re at a genius level. No, let me correct that. You are a genius. I can’t even come close to imitating your sense.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying, Elise. If you’re talking about the hairpin… that’s too much praise. It’s all thanks to Elise and… the prince of Titris.”
Jasmine struggled to properly mention Karan, hindered by deep-rooted prejudices against the people of Titris, and she felt sorry about it.
He was her friend’s chosen man, after all.
Jasmine was deeply disappointed in herself for not being able to fully support her friend’s choice.
Elise provided her a way out of that disappointment.
“Prince Karan. It’ll be easier if you just call him by his name. See him as a person himself. Forget everything else.”
Jasmine immediately understood Elise’s words.
Seeing a person as a person.
That was the attitude Elise had shown towards Jasmine.
“Yes, Prince Karan. It’s all thanks to Elise and Prince Karan.”
Elise shook her head firmly. Jasmine, about to argue, closed her mouth as Elise gestured.
“Listen, Jasmine. I assure you that everything you make will be the center of attention. How about trying out business?”
“Me, in business?”
“You can do well, Jasmine.”
“But women aren’t allowed to run businesses.”
“That’s true. So, you can buy an existing one. That’s why I’ve prepared in advance.”
Elise looked towards Regina, standing by the door.
Regina nodded and briefly left the drawing room, returning with an envelope.
“This is a bribe.”
Elise handed the envelope to Jasmine. Inside were papers transferring ownership of a small sundry shop in the square to Jasmine Orleans.
“You’re giving this to me?”
Jasmine gasped.
Her name was clearly written on the documents.
“Is it too small? I’m sorry. I wanted to buy you a bigger shop, but my budget didn’t allow it.”
Elise had spent all the money she had saved on purchasing a small sundry shop in the corner of the square for Jasmine.
Elise hoped that Jasmine would solidly expand her position in Bedrocan’s social circle, counter to Iris.
Honestly, it was a risk for Elise too.
Yet she had a reason for her actions.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
