âJacob,â Yvette called out to him sweetly.
Upon hearing her voice, Jacobâs cold demeanor softened significantly. The sight of Wilson standing beside her, her hand in his, became less of a nuisance.
Although he still disliked Wilson, he knew as long as he was with Yvette, she would not be harmed âYvie, sorry for being late,â Jacob said.
âJacob Murray?â Julian and Cynthiaâs faces turned ashen. They nearly lost their balance in shock.
Not only was Yvette Wilsonâs fiancée, but she was also Jacobâs sister. Sheâs the daughter of the wealthiest family in Jubilife, the Murrays?
âYou fool! Didnât you say she was just a country bumpkin?â Julian was so furious at Serena that his face and neck turned red. He nearly fainted from rage.
Offending Wilson was enough to obliterate the Sutton family, and now they had Jacob to contend with!
They had offended the Quinns and the Murrays, the two families they could never afford to cross.
They were doomed!
Serena, who had been so smug moments ago, now turned pale. She was trembling uncontrollably.
She had made a mistake; Yvette wasnât Jacobâs little fling but rather his sister, the daughter of the Murrays!
No wonder the police chief had warned her to stay in line and not to scheme against Yvette.
Yvetteâs identity was far more prestigious than she had realized!
âMr. Quinnâ¦â
Serena gritted her teeth, suppressing her fear, and immediately cried before Wilson. âI have something to say! Yvette doesnât deserve your kindness! She has such an outstanding fiancé like you, yet she shamelessly clings to Liam! Someone like her doesnât deserve your affection!â
Since her fate was already sealed, she wanted to take this opportunity to drag Yvette down with her.
Jacobâs face darkened with anger upon hearing Serenaâs slanderous words about Yvette.
Before he could speak, Wilsonâs deep, magnetic voice rang out slowly.
âDo you believe that?â Wilson smirked, his lips curling in a cold sneer, and his words were laced with sarcasm. âMy fiancée doesnât even give me the time of day. She wouldnât even glance my way if Iâm not persistent.â
Yvette was naturally aloof, keeping everyone at armâs length. She would still be indifferent to him if he didnât take the initiative.
Jacob couldnât help but glare at Wilson, his fists clenching tighter, feeling a strong urge to punch him.
But at least Wilson knew it was his relentless pursuit that made Yvie develop feelings for him. At least Wilson had finally said something sensible.
Serenaâs expression darkened further, not expecting Wilson to have absolute trust in Yvette. Her attempts to slander Yvette were failing miserably.
âYou shameless brat! How dare you slander Mr. Quinnâs fiancée?â Julian immediately grabbed Serena by the neck and slapped her hard across the face.
