Chapter 1132 Guilty
Yandel had always been a diplomatic person who had a way with people, but judging by the awkward expression on his face, it was apparent that the man was having a hard time dealing with Helma, who had a prestigious status in Loang.
“Ms. Helma, that’s not the case, of course…” Yandel’s eyes darted from side to side before he said in a calm voice, “Ms. Nichols and Muse are not avoiding you on purpose. It’s just that they are both currently on vacation. If there’s anything you need, please feel free to let me know.”
After sizing Yandel up, Helma replied, “So what if you are the direct heir of the Moss family? Your family can barely be considered a prestigious one! Besides, I heard that the Moss family had openly cut off ties with you a few years ago…”
That was Yandel’s secret. Over the past few years, both the Moss family and Yandel had been trying their best to conceal the matter.
Back then, there was quite a commotion in Yaleview when the incident happened. However, it lasted less than two years before everyone stopped talking about it. As such, no one had brought up the relationship between Yandel and the Moss family during Yandel’s current trip to Yaleview, where he was helping Natalie with the expansion of Dream Corporation’s business.
No doubt, Helma’s words had hit a sore spot. Even though Yandel managed to keep his graceful demeanor and did not show any displeasure on his face, he was clenching his fists so tightly that the veins on his arms were already popping.
Meanwhile, Natalie was observing them quietly. As Yandel had his back to the woman, he did not notice Natalie’s presence.
However, it was not the same for Helma, who was facing Natalie and would have noticed her presence a while back. In fact, what Helma had said during the latter part of her conversation with Yandel was directed at Natalie.
There was bad blood between the two women because of Bastien.
As such, Natalie would have found it understandable for Helma to target her.
However, she would not tolerate the woman picking a fight with her subordinate.
