Chapter 338 It’s Snowing
Idris finished organizing the first aid kit, glanced at me, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “You’re clever.”
I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for jokes at a time like this. I looked at him, a bit exasperated, and asked, “What are you planning to do?”
He shook his head. “I don’t know. I’m the target, and they’ve orchestrated so many things in succession just to make me feel agitated. I’m playing along for now, and I also want to see what they will do next.

I pursed my lips, unable to contain my curiosity. “Who is this person, and how can they manipulate things even from inside prison, committing murder without a trace of evidence? Do they hold a grudge against both of us?”
Idris took a seat in the armchair, his dark eyes narrowing slightly as he seemed lost in thought. After a moment, he replied, “Perhaps he only has a grudge against me, and there may not necessarily be any enmity with you.”
“Have you offended someone?” Over the years, the Youngs had done well in their business, and it was impossible for them not to have enemies. However, having enemies who could go to the extent of framing murders and implicating them was on another level.
He shook his head. “The Youngs have a history spanning a hundred years, and they’ve hindered many people’s paths. There are countless who would like to eliminate us. I can’t be sure of the mastermind behind this.”
That seemed to be the case.
Ring, ring… Suddenly, the phone in the room rang. Both Idris and I were taken aback for a moment before realizing that it was my phone.
Answering the call, it was Charlie on the line. I had not spoken yet when he asked, “Yvette, are you okay?”
I shook my head, quickly realizing he could not see me. I hurriedly replied, “I’m fine. How did you know?”
Idris watched me, and I felt a bit uneasy. Charlie continued, “I came to the Scott Corporation building, hoping to invite you for dinner. I heard it from someone in your company.”
I smiled faintly and replied, “It’s okay. I’m doing fine. However, I might not be able to have dinner with you today. I have some things to attend to. Maybe another time, and I’ll treat you.”
There was a pause on the other end for a few seconds before he asked, “You don’t have time tomorrow either?”
I shook my head and chuckled. “Tomorrow…” I realized halfway through that Maxwell had mentioned tomorrow was Christmas, and it might snow in Lake City. Charlie, having grown up abroad, probably considered this day special and wanted to have a meal with friends.
After a brief pause, I suggested, “How about this? Let’s wait and see tomorrow. If I have time, I’ll call you in advance.”
“Alright!” I could hear the excitement in his voice. After hanging up, Idris continued to gaze

at me, his dark eyes unchanging.

Feeling a bit uneasy, I put away my phone and said, “Thank you for today. I’ll head back now.”
He pursed his lips, remaining silent, and then stood up. “I’ll drive you.”
Once we left the villa, I could sense that Idris‘ mood was a bit off, but I could not figure out why. In any case, I did not say much either.
It was not until the car stopped in front of the Scotts‘ building that I prepared to get out of the car,
and that was when Idris suddenly stopped me.
“Yvette!”
I responded with a sound of acknowledgment, looking at him. “What’s the matter?”
Idris‘ expression had been off for some time, and he looked at me, saying, “Do you hold me and Charlie in the same regard?”
His question left me momentarily stunned. I gazed at him, somewhat puzzled, and asked, What are you trying to say?”
!!
He began speaking, his voice somewhat heavy. “I don’t know who you’ll ultimately choose, but can you give me a little more time? I’ll do my best. And if in the end, it’s still not enough, only then can you consider giving up on me, alright?”
I froze, feeling numb for a moment. I opened my mouth, many things on my mind, but in the end, I did not know what to say and simply replied, “Okay.”
Upon hearing my response, his expression improved slightly. He looked at me with a gentler expression and said, “Go back now and stay safe.”
I watched him leave, remaining in place for a long time.
