Chapter 153
I know that Jamie was forcing himself to say things against his wish.
Now they were so far apart that even communication was a problem, let alone developing feelings for each other.
People would grow as time changed. The past would gradually be forgotten.
“When the cruise ship returns, go abroad. I looked out at the sea and said slowly.
“I wont go Junie refused flatly, his face ugly. “Since she’s made up her mind, why should I go and embarrass myself?”
I knew he wanted to save face and sighed softly, “Don’t wait until you are old to regret it.”
“I won’t regret it” Jamie said with certainty and buried his head in eating crabs,
Probably only he knew that the crabs, which were usually extremely delicious, now tasted like wax in his mouth..
I wanted to say something else because I knew how much they liked each other back then. Just as the words reached my lips, my phone vibrated.
It was a call from Marlon.
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly got up and went to the side to answer the call. “Hello?”
“Hello!”
Marion’s voice came through the phone quickly, with a hint of seriousness.
Yvonne.” He called my name, without saying an extra word.
He called my name, without saying an extra word.
My heart instantly hung in my throat, but I still responded, “Yes.”
Then there was a long silence on the other end.
All the cells in my body tensed up, and just as I couldn’t wait to ask, Marlon said, “It’s done.”
Only then did the tight string in my mind completely relax!
“You scared me to death! I thought something bad had happened!” If I weren’t at sea right now, I would rush over and give him
piece of my mind
This felt like torture.
Marlon chuckled softly. “After deducting the money I paid in advance and interest, the remaining 500 million dollars has been deposited into your overseas account.”
I was shocked “Wasn’t the previous estimate only 600 million dollars?”
“Hayden’s men joined the bidding, which drove the price up a lot.” Marlon’s voice was a little ethereal as he spoke.
1 ditt expect Hayden to get involved in this.
However, if it wasn’t for Hayden, the price wouldn’t have been this high.
I thought. Did he do this to help me, or does he have other motives?
Instead of dwelling on that, I changed the subject. “I plan to sell my shares in Parker Group to Zachary.”

“As you wish. Marlon didn’t object, nor did he offer any opinions.
After some small talk, he said, “I’ll arrange the flights. We’ll go abroad when you’re back from the sea.”
“Okay” I nodded, my heart gradually settling back down
The biggest obstacle has been resolved. I just needed to take care of some personal matters, then I wouldn’t have any lingering attachments to Elysiumville.
Returning to the dining table after putting away my phone, I suddenly felt my appetite increase and ended up eating several legs of king crab.
Seeing this, Jamie couldn’t help but feel a little curious. “Looks like there’s good news.”
“You could say that I nodded and pushed the food towards him. “It’s your favorite. Eat up”
“That’s great” Jamie started eating without hesitation.
After the satisfying meal, I went to find Hayden.
At that time, he was playing cards with a group of friends.
As soon as I walked in, everyone looked at me.
Nevin was there too.
He hated me the most, and as soon as he saw me, he snorted and turned his head away.
Yasir stood up first and shouted, “Yvonne.”
As soon as he stood up, everyone else followed suit, each one very respectful, Yvonne.”
I was so startled that I was speechless
Many of these people were present at Hayden’s welcome party. They all saw Hayden with Joanna and all laughed at me. wondered why they seemed like different people this time.
I looked at Hayden subconsciously.
These people have always acted according to Hayden’s face, so I wondered if Hayden had said anything to them.
But soon, I denied the thought.
I
Hayden wouldn’t do these boring things. I felt it was probably because these people saw Joanna with Zachary, so they switched sides.
I didn’t care too much and walked over with a smile. “Are you playing cards?”
After all, I am the manager of Pax Oceana. Even if I didn’t like these people, I couldn’t just be openly hostile to them. I still have to be polite.
“Yes.” Hayden glanced at me, and he suddenly reached out and pulled me to sit beside him.
My whole body was tense. I didn’t know what he was doing that for.
I wanted to shake him off, but in front of so many people, I could only put on an act.
“I have something else to do. I squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth and signaled Hayden with my eyes to let
Not only did he not let go, but he held on even tighter. “Stay with me for a while.”
Before I could say anything, the young men around started cheering.

- go.
Chapter 133
A few more people were whistling behind me.
A person said. “Mr. Parker is so sweet to his wife. We’re all so jealous!”
Hayden didn’t say anything and continued to play cards.
I was so embarrassed that I wanted to leave, but my hand was subdued.
I decided to look at Hayden’s hand. However, I realized that I didn’t understand it.
As I was bored. Nevin came over to talk to me. “Why are you looking for my brother, traitor.”
As soon as he said that. Hayden glared at him.
He restrained himself a little and covered his mouth with one hand.
Even though I didn’t provoke him, he would provoke me.
I plastered a fake smile on my face. “I’m here to see my husband. What’s wrong with that?”
“Exactly. They are a loving couple. Don’t bother them, Nevin!” Yasir glanced at Nevin and played a card.
Nevin snorted, stood up, and walked to the side.
Seeing his displeasure, Hayden said to me, “Don’t mind him.”
Despite only three words, I sensed a different tone from his usual one
It seemed there was a hint of indulgence and bias.
I looked at him coldly, puzzled by this sudden change in him.
A man beside us was about to light a cigarette when Hayden stopped him. “She doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes.”
“She doesn’t like the smell of smoke.”
“I forgot my Yvonne was here too. Sorry…” The man quickly put away his cigarette.
Hayden didn’t say much, but the way people looked at me seemed to have changed.
It seemed to lace with shock, respect, and fear.
These changes made me even more puzzled about Hayden.
I thought, ‘Is he acting?
I never realized he was such a good actor. What a shame he didn’t become a professional actor!
I sighed, not expecting Hayden to look at me at this moment.
Our eyes met, and the atmosphere was somewhat strange.
