Chapter 142
1 clenched my hands hanging by my side and used all my strength to calm myself down.
I looked at him calmly. “Hayden, it’s over between us. It has nothing to do with Joanna. I don’t want to know what your relationship with her is or how much you love her.”
Hayden stood right before me, not moving an inch.
He didn’t speak, his face darkened, and the air pressure in the room plummeted along with his mood.
I thought we would stay like this until dawn. Soon, a phone call broke the suffocating silence,
Hayden took out his phone and walked towards the door.
As the door closed. I heard his voice slip through the crack. “What’s up?”
I sighed and felt that I was at least safe for that night.
I locked the door as usual at night. I couldn’t sleep well otherwise.
For the next few days, Marlon helped me negotiate the sale of Jackson Group while I prepared for the cruise.
Jamie finished his exhibition and came to help me.
“I saw the tickets you sold. The initial selling point was the love triangle between you, Hayden, and Joanna. Now that Hayden and Joanna have cleared their relationship, what else is there for customers to see?” Jamie asked sharply the moment he spoke.
He was an artist but also owned his own gallery, so he had got a keen eye for business.
When I heard him hit the nail on the head so bluntly, I knew I had found the right person.
“Joanna and Zachary are enough for them,” I replied.
“Zachary will be on the cruise too?” Jamie asked curiously.
He had studied the connections and personalities of our group before coming here.
“He will.” I nodded confidently.
Zachary wanted the shares of Parker Group in my hands. He would come as long as I asked him to.
Hearing this, Jamie dropped the topic and went on to say, “I heard… Nevin will come too?”
“You are well–informed. I smiled. Jamie might seem like an outsider, but he knew everything.
“That guy is known to hold grudges. It won’t end well for anyone if they fight on the cruise ship.” Jamie was telling the truth.
He wanted to get back at Nevin. If Nevin made a move on the ship, he would definitely not hold back.
I knew what he was thinking. After a moment of contemplation, I said, “Do as you please. As long as you don’t kill him, anything goes.
Jamie was stunned as he stared at me blankly. “Are you still the Yvonne I know? Back then, I was going crazy trying to sue Nevin, and you were so anxious that you begged me! Why now..
His words reminded me of the time when I was so desperate for Hayden that I would do anything for him.
“I used to do it for his brother’s sake. Now they are not important anymore.” I sighed, not realizing that my eyes were already

Jamie looked at me strangely, and when he spoke again, his voice was laced with a smile. “You have changed too.”
I didn’t answer.
The sea breeze on the deck was tinged with bitterness.
I thought, “Yes. How can people not change? Especially after seeing through love.”
After I went back in the evening. I discussed with Lucy about going to sea. Yosef called me several times, but I didn’t answer.
I knew it was about Jackson Group, and I was not going to give in.
When I was ready to go to bed, a servant said Yasir was downstairs.
Tell him Hayden is not here.” I casually replied, thinking that he was looking for Hayden.
However, the servant said, “Mrs. Parker, Mr. Gibson said he was here to see you…
My hand that was holding the blanket stiffened slightly.
Thinking it might be something to do with the cruise business, I got up, changed, and went downstairs.
From afar. I saw Yasir sitting on the sofa, still on the phone.
He saw me coming and immediately hung up the phone. He stood up and said with a smile, “Yvonne, I’m so sorry to disturb you so late.”
“You know you’re disturbing me, yet you still came?” I asked back with a sardonic smile.
Yasir didn’t know what to say.
Then, he laughed, “Well, that’s not quite fair. We are partners now, aren’t we?”
“Get to the point,” I said succinctly.
Yasir’s eyes twitched, “Yvonne, why do you sound more and more like Mr. Parker? You two really are of one mind!”
As soon as he said that, my mood soured.
I frowned, my tone turning colder, “Don’t mention him. If you don’t have anything important, I’m going back to sleep”
Seeing that I was really about to get up and leave, Yasir nodded hurriedly, “Okay, let’s not talk about him. I came here tonight mainly to discuss with you about the cruise ship going out to sea.”
“You just take care of your drinks supply, and don’t worry about the rest. I had little patience, especially after he mentioned Hayden
He used to make my heart flutter, but now he was my nemesis.
“If the cruise ship can’t go out to sea successfully, then my business can’t be done.” Yasir was telling the truth, and his expression became serious. “I received news that Nevin seems to have asked someone to make a move to prevent the cruise ship from going out to sea.”
My heart sank. “What did he do?”
“I don’t know.” Yasir shook his head. “I just heard about it. I don’t know if it’s true or not, and I don’t know the details. But after thinking about it, I thought I should come and tell you.
“Why don’t you go to Hayden?” I asked back.
“Isn’t the cruise ship under your management?” Yasir was more surprised than I was.

What he said was not wrong.
I sneered, “You think I’m really in charge? I’m just the manager on the surface, but in fact everything still needs Hayden’s approval.”
It was impossible for Xander to hand over the Parker family’s assets to an outsider.
Yasir was slightly taken aback, probably not expecting me to see through this matter so clearly.
I looked up at him with a smile. “You skipped over Hayden to come to me. Did you want to see me and Nevin fight?”
At these words, Yasir’s face instantly paled.
His eyes deliberately avoided me, and his voice lacked the previous confidence, “You think too much, Yvonne. What good. would it do me if you two fought?”
“You like to watch a good show, right? You want to see what Nevin and I can do to each other?” I asked with a smile.
Of course, Yasir couldn’t admit it, so he simply raised his voice and tried to pull the question back, “Yvonne! I’m here to discuss serious matters with you.”
Seeing his face redden slightly, I didn’t intend to continue mocking him. I just unconsciously played with the ring on my left ring finger as I said, “But you reminded me, before I leave, I have to settle accounts with Nevin…”
