Chapter 158
Frowning in confusion, Yvette immediately realized the root of the misunderstanding. The Murphys must have witnessed Sean picking her up from Elixirs Apothecary and came to the wrong conclusion.
Yvette was aware of Wilson’s jealous disposition, not to mention when other men were involved. Right as she was about to clear the air, he spoke in a deep, alluring voice, “Looks like I’m not treating Yvette right. If not, she wouldn’t have sought the company of other men.”
Lynda froze when she heard Wilson’s remark. A mix of bewilderment, fury, and envy replaced her gleeful expression.
Just what did that bitch do to charm him? He was siding with her unconditionally. How could he not feel an ounce of anger after learning that she cheated on him?
Blinking at Lynda’s furious reaction, Yvette felt more relaxed and cheerful. She took Wilson’s hand and said to him, “Let’s have dinner. I’m starving.”
Grasping her hand, he replied dotingly, “Sure.”
Lynda’s jealousy grew when she saw the couple leave. She ground her teeth and swore to get even with Yvette one day. She vowed to expose Yvette’s true nature and make her fall out of Wilson’s favor.
On their way back to the private lounge, Yvette glanced at Wilson. “Aren’t you going to ask me why I hurt them?”
“I don’t need to know,” Wilson replied without hesitation while his gaze tenderly caressed her face.
He added sweetly, “I know for sure that it’s not your fault. Whether you’re right or wrong, my responsibility is to show you my support.” Her rosy lips curled into a grin, and she wondered if this was how it felt to be unconditionally loved.
Meanwhile, Collin looked disgruntled at the sight of their public display of affection.
After dinner, Yvette received a call from Yara when she left the lounge.
Yara cautiously began, “Yvie, Yasmin was threatening to take her life, It took us a while to calm her down and talk her out of it. I’m begging you to forgive her this once. She knows she’s at fault, and she promises she won’t do it again.”
Yvette snickered.
Yara carefully added, “Vvie, both you and Yasmin are my good daughters. I’ll have a serious talk with her after what she has done. Can you forgive her this one time?”
In the end, Yvette was swayed by Yara’s humility. She replied emotionlessly, “I’ll leave this matter in your hands. I won’t interfere ”
In other words, she would be fine with covering up the scandal, but she’d never forgive Yasmin’s actions.
“Alright. Yvie, I thank you on Yasmin’s behalf!”
After hanging up, Yvette looked rather irritated. Her lips tightened into a line.
“What’s wrong?”
