Yvette had the support of the Murrays and the Quinns. It would be unwise to cross her.
Compared to the massive losses, Orlando was more concerned about preserving his family.
The Shaws acted quickly. The medical equipment and share transfer agreement were soon delivered to her.
âYvette, youâre amazing! In the blink of an eye, you made billions!â
Her elegant eyebrows lifted lazily as she shrugged and said, âNo big deal.â She was all for getting things free of charge.
Wilson chuckled and whispered, âBaby, letâs get something to eat.â
âNo, I promised Iâd join them,â Yvette replied, her tone firm. âYou go back home.â
âAre you ditching me for them?â Wilsonâs eyes sparkled with mischief as he gazed at her, his voice laced with persuasion. âMy fiancée is so heartlessâ¦â
Yvette avoided his gaze, not wanting to fall for his tricks. She didnât want Madison and her group to think she was putting her fiancé before her friends.
Seeing she remained,unmoved, Wilsonâs eyes narrowed, his expression taking on a hint of wickedness.
âThen, can I tag along?â
âNo.â
Yvette shook her head again, refusing his request. She didnât want to scare off Madison and the others.
âYouâre so clingy,â she remarked. Wilson was being rejected!
Watching from the sidelines, Jasper was taken aback but couldnât hide his glee.
Feeling increasingly dejected, Wilson looked more and more miserable. But Yvette didnât wan to keep Madison and the others waiting any longer, so she gently pushed him away.
âI need to go now. You can go back.â With that, she turned and strode off, joining Madison and the others.
As soon as she caught up with them, Madison and her group swept her up in a flurry of hug and laughter.
âWilson, it seems youâre not as important to Yvette as her girlfriends,â Jasper teased, unab to resist.
Wilsonâs icy gaze fell on Jasper, his voice cold and detached. âGo ahead and laugh, itâs okay âHow kind of you, Wilson!â Jasper burst out laughing, no longer able to continue â was fighting so hard not to laugh just now. I had to pinch myself to keep from vzadung Wilson cast a cold, indifferent glance his way, and slowly spoke. âSay goodbye to your allowance.â
Jasperâs laughter stopped abruptly. How could anyone do such a thing?
Sean received a video and text message from Jasper.
The latter had met his idol, who was none other than his sisterâinâlaw!
After watching the video, Sean was over the moon. He immediately shared the news and the video in the Murray brothersâ group chat, Ashton: âOur baby sister is the Lord of the Tracks, Shadow God!â
Ashtonâs response was filled with shock and awe Adam: âNo surprise there, sheâs always b amazing! Iâm so proud of her!â
Jacob: âYvie is indeed awesome, way better than all of you!â
Ashton: âJacob, although this is true, please donât say it out loud. It hurts our pride.â
Sean: âOh man, Yvie has so many identities! Sheâs a genius gamer, piano master Mischa Rachmaninoff, the famous jewelry designer Yves, Shadow God⦠Iâve lost count!â
As Adam drilled recruits at the base camp, he let out a scornful snort upon reading the message.
These identities were nothing. If they found out Yvette was also the famous ruler of the underworld, Master Xev, theyâd be shocked.
But that had to be kept a secret. He had no intention of revealing this to his brothers. It was a secret only he and Yvette knew.
Ashton: âYvie is so talented, it makes me feel like a failure as her brother!â
Adam: âWhat the? Go back to the last minute of the video. Is that someoneâs hands on Yvieâs waist?â
Ashton: âDamn! I rewatched the video, and Adam is right! That old lecher, Wilson must be taking advantage of Yvie again!â
Sean clenched his teeth. He typed out, âIâm so angry that I want to chop his hands off!â
Adam was seething with frustration at the base camp, desperate to rush back and protect his sister.
Adam: âTan, have your developed anything to keng Wilson may from our Ter Sean: âWhy isnât lan replying?â
Ashton: âHeâs probably buried in another researth project. You know very well the len treky checks his phone. Iteâs practically living off the grid! Heâs on the verge of dediny, his Me to his work.â
Adam: âThe more I think about it, the angrier I get. I want to fly back now and chop off Wilsonâs hands!â
Sean and Ashton both replied at the same time. âAbsolutely!â
Jacob scanned the messages, picking up on the undercurrent of anger. He responded calmly,â
Donât worry. Iâve figured out how to deal with Wilson.â
Ashton: âI feel much better now that youâve said that. Jacob, youâve got to being Wilson down a peg and teach that old lecher a lesson. With Yvie and Mom sticking up for him, weâre being pushed to the side. Our standing in the family is taking a nosedivetâ
Sean: âYeah, Wilson is so full of himself. It makes me sick!â
Jacob put down his phone, adjusted his goldârimmed glasses, and smiled coldly, This was the perfect opportunity to settle both old scores and new grudges, Wilson had tricked him last time, causing Nancy to block him again.
âHave we reached out to all the promising young men from the different families?â
Jacob asked his assistant, emphasizing the word âyoungâ.
Jack replied, âMr. Murray, Iâve extended invitations as you instructed. All the young bachelors from prestigious families I have invited are under 24 years old. Iâve strictly excluded anyone older.â
Jacob smiled with satisfaction. âGood job! Inform them that the banquet will start on time, so they must be punctual.â
âYes, Mr. Murray.â Jack nodded, but his heart was racing with worry. Jacob was basically hosting a matchmaking banquet for Yvette.
If Wilson found out⦠Jack shuddered involuntarily as the thought occurred to him. The potential consequences were too terrifying to contemplate.
