Wilson frowned but finally nodded. âOkay, do what you want.â
âThanks, Wilson!â Victoria said with a slight smile.
âGet some rest. If you need anything. Just ask Peter.â
After they left, Victoria turned to Lionel and said softly, Lionel, donât go behind my back and do something like that again. Next time, I might not be able to get Wilson to forgive you.â
Seeing her like this made Lionel even more worried. âMs. Olson, Iâm really concerned about you!
Ever since that Yvette showed up, Mr. Quinn has changed.
âHe used to pick you up every time you returned to Jubilife, but now heâs completely under her influence. Sheâs the reason heâs not picking you up anymore. Ms. Olson, If you donât do something, youâre going to lose your place!â
Victoria frowned and looked at him seriously. âLionel if you talk like this again, donât come around me anymore.â
âMs. Olson, Iâm honestly worried. Mr. Quinn is your only support right now, and Yvette is pulling him away from you. You have to do something!â
The Olson family used to be wellâknown in Jubilife, but after her parents passed away and her health declined, they were no longer the prominent family they once were.
If it werenât for Wilsonâs protection, she would have been left to die on the streets with her frail health.
âWilson has looked after me for many years, and Iâm really thankful. Now that heâs found someone he likes, Iâm happy for him.â
Victoriaâs voice was weak, but she was determined. âI donât want to fight for anything. I just want to stay in Jubilife and live peacefully.â
âMs. Olson, youâre just too kindâ¦â
Lionel looked at her with sympathy and clenched his fists by his sides.
He needed to act; he couldnât let Yvette take away what rightfully belonged to Victoria!
Inside the car, Wilson got a message from Collin that seemed to be making fun of him.
Collin: âWilson, you really took Yvette to see Victoria? Arenât you worried Yvette will get jealous?
Everyoneâs talking about it. They say you like Victoria. And youâre bringing Wette to meet her? Good luck. when Yvette gets mad!â
Wilsonâs face showed his annoyance right away.
Wilson: âFind out whoâs starting these rumors.â
Collin: âOn it, Wilson! Iâll look into it right away!â
Collin: âAnd Wilson, if Yvette gets jealous, I have a way to help you fix things with her. But⦠you know what I wantâhow about that piece of land in Weston?â
Wilson looked down at the girl in his arms, frowning more. Yvette didnât seem jealous at all.
Wilson: âBut what if she isnât jealous?â
Collin: âNo way, Wilson Yvette isnât jealous? Looks like she might not be interested in you after all!
Could it be that sheâs still thinking about her exâfiancé?â
