Hearing Wilson call Yvette âBaby,â Jake clenched his fists in anger.
âHow dare he call the boss âBabyâ!â he thought.
âI know youâre my bossâ fiancé!â Jake said, scoffing, his voice heavy with disdain. âBut itâs just a family arrangement; my boss doesnât take it seriously. She was even considering breaking off the engagement!â
âJakeâ¦â
Yvette tried to interrupt him, but it was too late; Jake had already blurted it out. She raised a hand to massage her temples, feeling a headache coming.
âBreak off the engagement?â Wilsonâs dark pupils constricted, and his handsome face was suddenly shrouded in a thick layer of ice.
âYvie, do you want to break off the engagement?â he questioned.
âNo.â
Sensing the manâs rising agitation, Yvette blinked and held his hand, softly explaining, âThat was a decision made before I knew you were my fiancé. I dismissed that idea once I found out the truth.â
As Yvette spoke, the violent emotions swirling within Wilson instantly dissipated. He wrapped his large hand around her slender waist, his deep, magnetic voice coaxing her. âBaby, then tell him what our relationship is.â
Watching them being loveyâdovey, Jake was at a loss for words, and he rolled his eyes dramatically.
He wondered if this was the notorious figure everyone in Jubilife City feared. He looked more like a charmer!
Jake couldnât hold back any longer. He gritted his teeth as he said, âYou better let go of my boss now, or I swear Iâll take action against you!â
The members of the Dark Organization were not to be trifled with if they knew about this. The burly men in black behind Jake eyed Wilson warily, clearly ready to act at a momentâs notice.
Wilson recognized the Dark Organizationâs emblem on their clothing. His eyes narrowed slightly. He wondered how Yvette was involved with the Dark Organization..
Yvette quickly intervened, âJake, donât be stupid; heâs my fiancé.â
âBoss, youâre taking this engagement seriously?â Jake exclaimed in disbelief.
âOf course I am.â
Wilsonâs deep, resonant voice left no room for doubt, asserting his claim with a domineering presence. Yvie is my fiancée!â he repeated.
Seeing Yvette not refute Wilsonâs words and instead accept them, Jake felt the shock of his life, as if the sky was falling.
His boss had truly fallen for Wilson!
He sensed something was different about her lately, but he had never thought it was because of Wilson.
The members of the Dark Organization would surely cause chaos in Jubilife City if they found out Yvette had been captivated by a man.
Meanwhile, Julian and Cynthiaâs faces grew even darker, their fear intensifying.
âSerena, didnât you say she was just a country bumpkin Before she could finish her sentence, a cold voice bellowed, âHow dare you call the Murray familyâs princess a country bumpkin?â
Jacob strode in with long strides, his dark and unfriendly expression leaving a sense of dread in his wake. He had rushed over as soon as he heard about the situation, fearing his precious sister might be bullied
