The Lockwood estate spanned thousands of square feet, meaning it was quite a walk from the gates to the main house.
Iris linked arms with Yvonne as they walked. "I really have to thank you for backing Owen's career. His new executive role and equity in Iris-Adams Biopharma is all thanks to your support."
Yvonne, irritable from her morning sickness, let out a frustrated sigh. "I honestly had no idea Owen had zero real power in the Morgan family. No savings, no actual career. He just uses his good looks to play the big-shot CEO and trick sheltered girls like me."
"Ouch!" Owen pinched her waist lightly. "Don't talk about your husband like that."
Yvonne rolled her eyes. They were already married, and she was already pregnant. It was only when it came time to invest capital that she realized her husband was practically useless on his own. It was infuriating. The only thing keeping them together was their chemistry—Owen was phenomenal in bed, completely making up for his lack of business acumen.
Yvonne pouted. "I'm just saying, I'm liquidating my entire trust fund to put two billion into Iris-Adams Biopharma for him. It better make me a fortune. I absolutely refuse to take a loss."
Iris immediately reassured her. "You have nothing to worry about. The Adams Wellness Clinic already has a massive, loyal client base. Once we move to mass production, those clients will be our strongest marketing tool. Our exclusive formulas are going to change the industry. The money will come flooding in."
Yvonne nodded. "I only agreed to hand over my life savings because I trust Holden's business sense. He's practically undefeated in Seaport City. I'm sure he'll turn Iris-Adams into an empire."
Iris's smile stretched from ear to ear at the praise of her fiancé. "Leave it all to him. With Holden at the helm, you'll be making money in your sleep."
Catching sight of Yvette walking ahead, Yvonne lowered her voice. "Didn't you say Leland used to date your doctor, Winifred?"
"Briefly."
"Are they done?"
"Completely."
