Chapter 144
All kidding aside, when Nevin actually showed up, my heart skipped a beat,
Nevin was a troublemaker Wherever he went, there would be no peace.
“Where is he?” I asked with a frown
“He hasn’t come up yet? Jamie pointed to the shore.
I looked over and saw a figure in the distance. Even from alar, could tell by his arrogant swagger that it was Nevin
The Parker family had really spoiled him rotten over the years.
“Yvonne, let’s get this straight. If things get out of hand later, don’t blame me!” Jamie warned me before taking a deep breath, ready to fight to the end.
I ignored him and turned to Richard. “Didn’t Hayden say he had taken care of everything?”
“That’s what Mr. Hayden said, but I don’t know why Mr. Nevin still dared to come Richard scratched his head in confusion.
“Call Hayden. If he doesn’t have the heart to discipline his brother, I will.” My voice was devoid of any warmth.
Going to sea today was crucial for me and I couldn’t let Nevin ruin it.
Richard’s expression changed instantly and he immediately ran to the side to make a call.
After he left, I glanced at Jamie. “You stick with me. If necessary, Ethan will intervene.”
Jamie’s panicked expression turned a bit stiff, “Yvonne, are you determined to protect me! But Nevin is your husband’s brother, after all, why don’t
You are my friend who has come to help me. I can’t let you get hurt.” I said without hesitation.
Even if Hayden was standing in front of me right now, I would say the same thing, let alone a mere Nevin.
Jamie was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
Richard came running back in no time. “Mrs, Parker, Mr. Hayden said he’ll give Mr. Nevin a call”
As soon as has words fell, I saw
Law Nevin stop and take out his phone from his pocket.
“What’s up?” Nevin asked, has tone still frivolous.
“Come home right now. Hayden’s slightly stern voice instantly reached his ears.
Nevin looked around, puzzled, and asked, “Do you even know where I am? Did something happen again?”
“Yvonne is in charge of Pax Oceana now. What are you doing there? Hayden questioned back
Hearing this, Nevin rubbed his temples wearily. “Pax Oceana belongs to the Parker family, right? Besides, I don’t feel comfortable leaving the Parker family’s property to an outsider!”
“I told you to come back Hayden didn’t explain and just shouted in a low voice.
The sudden increase in volume started Nevin. His hand trembled and almost dropped his phone.
“Keep it down! My eardrums are about to bursi Although Nevin was unwilling, he didn’t dare to disobey Hayden.
Reluctantly, he turned around and prepared to walk back. “Hayden, I don’t admit that she’s my sister–in–law… She….
Before he could finish his sentence, Nevin’s eyes widened as he stared in one direction. “Hayden, Joanna is here too. If she can come, why can’t I?”
His tone was laced with a hint of jealousy
He adored Hayden, but he was jealous of everyone around him, regardless of gender.

Chapter 141
Initially, he had spoken up for Joanna simply because he wanted to use her to get rid of Yvonne. However, when he learned that Joanna was secretly involved with Zachary, he grew to despise her.
Hayden seemed surprised as well. “Joanna went too?”
“Yes, the whole Jackson family is here. I’m not leaving Nevin mustered courage and hung up the phone.
Thus was the first time he had so blatantly defied Hayden’s wishes.
Anyway, Hayden was currently in a business meeting at the company, so he didn’t think he could do anything to him.
Once the cruise ship set sail, even if Hayden wanted to intervene, it would be beyond his reach.
In the conference room at Parker Group, Hayden’s eyes darkened instantly upon hearing the disconnected tone.
After a moment of contemplation, he got up and quickly walked towards the door.
The executives at the table were all stunned. “Mr. Parker, where are you going?”
However, all that answered them was the empty corridor.
At the Elysiumville Pier, after the Fax Oceana docked and the it
inspection was completed, tourists began to line up for tickets.
I did not personally receive the tourists but watched from above.
“Mrs. Parker. Mr. Nevin has checked in” Richard spoke as if his head were on the line, his voice trembling
This was the first time he had seen Hayden fail to solve a problem.
He felt that Nevin had grown too bold.
I was rather used to Hayden not keeping his word.
“It’s good that he’s here. Now that he’s on my turf, I’m in charge.” I sneered while curling my lip.
Originally, when Yasir came to tip me off, I was going to give Nevin a piece of my mind, but then Hayden said he would take care of it, so I left it
alone.
Now that Hayden failed. I would take charge of it.
The worry on Richard’s face instantly turned to
no fear.
“Mrs. Parker… what are you going to do to Mr. Nevin!” he asked hoarsely,
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill him” My expression was calm, but my eyes darkened uncontrollably.
With that, I took a few steps forward. Richard didn’t follow
Jamie had heard our entire conversation. He s clearly curious, but he didn’t ask.
I called Ethan over. “Go see where Nevin is, and follow him!
“Yes, boss” Ethan nodded and left.
I just wired him some money the day before yesterday. He was very happy and had been working harder these days.
After a while, Jamie came up to me and asked in a low voice, “Isn’t Ethan protecting you? What are you going to do now that he’s gone!”
“In broad daylight, what danger could I be in 1 chuckled and believed that the biggest danger was Nevin
However, Jamie had a different view. “Didn’t Joanna and her family come too? You’d better be careful”
Dylan had been to Jamie’s art exhibition, and the two kept in touch frequently.
Dylan also played ball with Joanna’s brother, Quint, and learned a lot about what was going on in the Jackson family from him. 2/3

“With so many people around, what could she do?” I didn’t believe Joanna would be so bold.
The worst she could do was to drug me. She only played dirty tricks.
Just as the words left her mouth, Joanna and Sophia boarded the deck
At this point, there weren’t many people around, and the deck was quite spacious. They spotted me right away and walked towards me without
hesitation.
“Speak of the devil…” Jamie sighed and stepped aside before gesturing for me to handle it myself.
