Chapter 117
Upon hearing this, Hayden’s charming eyes suddenly grew dim, and the hand resting on the table clenched involuntarily
But reason kept him holding onto the last thread of composure. “You like her?”
נו
Zachary had been waiting for him to ask, so he pretended to think. At first. I heard all those rumors about her and didn’t think much of her. But after seeing her a few times at work, I realized she’s smart and not just talke“
“Is that all!” Hayden pressed further. There were plenty of smart women in the company; he couldn’t be interested in all of them, right?
Zachary didn’t answer
wer but instead looked at Hayden with curiosity. “You you’re not jealous, are you?”
Hayden’s lense face relaxed and turned into a cold snick after he beard that.
“If you think using Yvonne to provoke me will work, you’re barking up the wrong tree”
“Then who should 1 use!” Zachary raised an eyebrow, quickly thinking of someone. “Maybe Joanna!”
Hayden frowned, but before he could speak, Zachary continued on his own. “But I don’t get the vibe you like her much. I’m curious, though–hy do you keep a woman you don’t care for around you!”
Men see right through each other. Zachary could tell with just one look that Hayden had no real feelings for Joanna
If Hayden cared that much, he wouldn’t be dragging his feet on divorcing Yvonne. His words served as a wake–up call for Hayden, too. It seemed in was time for him to draw a line with Joanna…
After a moment of reflection, Hayden deflected, asking instead. Rather than worrying about this, why don’t you tell me what you’re hoping in achieve with tonight’s party you so carefully orchestrated?”
“Its nothing really” Zachary shrugged casually, his eyes glinting with mischief. “If I must give a reason. It’s because I want to dance with Yvonne She’s such a captivating woman….
That
comment completely enraged Hayden He leaned in, slowly approachung Zachary, and said sternly. “Don’t even think about laying a Enger on my woman!”
“Aren’t you two getting a divorce? Zachary blinked, cornering Hayden with his which.
Yer, Hayden’s reply was just a cold laugh “Who said we’re divorcing? If you lay a finger on her, I won’t let you get away with it After making this threat. Hayden stood up and left
Zachary wasn’t frightened in the least; instead, he rubbed his chan with curiosity and bugled inerrily, “Hayden, I’ve finally discovered your Achilles‘ heel
After seeing Dylan off, I planned with Lucy to go shopping for an evening gown.
As soon as we met, she linked arms with me, constantly asking. “Yvonne, why did you leave last night? Did my brother say something to you?”
“No, it was because my dad suddenly turned up looking for me at Rosy House,” I replied casually, not wishing to burden her with my personal
Lucy’s attention quickly shifted. “Oh! Your dad came looking for you again! Because of the shares
“No” I shook my head. Recalling what had happened last night, I still felt it was rather absurd. “It’s because Joanna has resigned from her job, and my dad probably assumes it’s my doing”
“Is your dad crazy? You’re his own daughter! How could he side with an outsider? Lucy was sinned.
“To him. I guess I’m the outsider now, aren’t I?” I chuckled helplessly. The Jackson family wasn’t my family anymore.
Lory gave me a gentle hug, attempting to offer me comfort. “It’s all night. Yvonne. From this moment on, I’ll be your Emily Her kind words warmed the very depths of my heart.
I patted her land. “Okay, we’ll be family for always” “Hebr.” Lucy perked up, released me, and dashed over to select a dress. “What about this white one? I recall that you like wearing white!”
I froze for a moment and awkwardly explained, “It was because Hayden liked it back then, so always wore white.

Chapter 117
Lucy stopped for a second, then began swearing. “You were so good to him, and yet he still cheated on you! I hope he remains childless for the rest of his life!”
I noticed a light purple strapless dress nearby and walked over to it, saying, “Your cu
curse won’t work, Joanna is pregnant.”
“What?!” Lucy cried out in surprise, even startling the store clerk. Fortunately, we had rented the place out on that day; otherwise, her outburst would surely have attracted a large number of onlookers
1 promptly grasped her arm and said. “Calm down” Finally, Lucy took a quick look around, immediately lowered her voice, and inquired, “Is it Hayden’s?
“Who else’s could it be?” I sighed helplessly, wasn’t it obvious “How do you know?” Lucy’s questions just kept coming
“Joanna told me herself,” I replied. Lucy’s face twisted in anger. “She’s shameless! She must have come just to show off to you! Disgusting! Hayden is such a fool for being interested in someone like her!”
“Let them be, I said calmly, “Let’s just focus on living our own lives”
Upon seeing my reaction, Lury was left speechless for a moment. After some hesitation, she comforted me by saying “At least nothing significant happened between you and Hayden, so going through a divorce won’t be much of a low!”
I remained silent. She sensed something was off and stared at me blankly for a long time before asking. “No way! Did you two..do it?”
I fell silent again. “When did it happen Lucy almost choked on her words
I sighed; nothing could escape her notice. Besides, I had been good friends with her even before I met Hayden, so she knew everything I had no choice but to recount to her everything that had transpired after Hayden had coffee that day
Lucy was fine at first, but when she learned about what happened between Hayden and mr., afterward, she completely lost control!
“Bastard! What does he think you are, a remedy? Yvonne, do you know you’re being mistreated? I’m going to find him right now and make him kneel and apologize
Fuming with anger, Lucy was about to rush out without a second thought I quickly stopped her “Lucy! It’s already over just think of it as if Tossed
“You owe him” What do you owe him? You’ve been giving him everything and what about him? Did he ever treat you ever a bit better? What a disgusting man, treating you like this! Aren’t you angry Yvonne Jackson, you’re going to drive me nuts!“–
Lucy rarely called me by my full name, and when she did, I knew she was really upset.
I sighed, my voice colored with an ineffable sense of helplessness. “Lucy, I used to believe that loving someone entitled being completely and sincerely kind to them. But later, I understood that my unrequited affection was repulsive to him. Lucy was lost for words.
