Chapter 35
“Boss, we’ve cracked it. Lynda’s family suddenly moved to Jubilife City from the countryside because they’ve come into some money,” Jake’s voice crackled through the earpiece as Yvette listened quietly.
“Turns out your biological parents had slipped them the money to thank them for raising you all these years.”
Before Yvette could respond, Jake’s tone grew angrier.
“Your parents gave them the money, not knowing how they actually treated you! It’s infuriating! Lynda’s family doesn’t deserve it at all. Boss, I’ll make sure they return to being poor and miserable!”
“There’s no rush,” Yvette said, her voice steady. “Let them rise higher. The fall will hurt much more that way.”
“Got it, Boss,” Jake replied. “By the way, the Quinn family just screwed up our plans by paying off $7 million dollars for Yasmin. Now that Yasmin’s insufferably smug, it’s hard not to beat her up!!
“The Quinn family?” Yvette pursed her lips, her expression icy. She made a mental note, then instructed, “From now on, double the price of any herb order from the Quinn family.”
That was the consequence of helping Yasmin.
Yvette exited the lounge after ending the call. Her demeanor was icy and indifferent. She had only taken a few steps when someone suddenly blocked her path.
Already irritated, Yvette glanced up with a cold stare. Her striking eyes were sharp with annoyance.
Collin was startled by her glare and instinctively retreated several steps. “Woah. Yvette, don’t look at me like that. It’s scary.
Last night, Yvette had the same look in her eyes when she got drunk and kicked him away
ay with one blow.
Hearing this, Yvette finally remembered him and gave him a polite nod
Collin, always friendly, didn’t mind her indifferent attitude and began chatting with her. “Yvette, as soon as I saw you, I messaged Wilson. Do you want to bet? I bet he’ll be here in five minutes-
Before Collin could even finish, they saw Wilson approaching.
Collin’s grin widened mischievously. “Look at that! It hasn’t even been five minutes, and Wilson’s already here. Someone’s really nervous that you’ll be snatched away….
Collin stopped teasing as soon as Wilson’s warning gaze landed on him.
“Nice to see you again,” Wilson said. Unlike his earlier cold demeanor, Wilson now wore a lazy and charming smile that was inexplicable seductive.
Yvette nodded at him. “Men.”
Nothing her low spirits, Wilson gently ruffled her hair. His deep, magnetic voice softened as he asked, “What’s wrong? Did anyone upset you?
Yvette ignored his question. She extended her hand with her beautiful, fox–like eyes fixed on him. “Where’s my charm?”
Wilson’s smile faltered briefly. Then, he met her gaze with those captivating eyes. “I forgot to bring it with me. I’ll have it ready for you next time, I promise.”
Samuel, who stood nearby, couldn’t help but silently scott Wilson always carried that charm with him. Now he claimed to have forgotten?
He secretly looked at Wilson with accusing eyes. Doesn’t his conscience ache to lie to such a pure and innocent girl?
“Alright then.” Yvette nodded, not pressing further.
By then, Collin caught another waming glance from Wilson and quickly apologized.
