Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 212

"Nadine, where is Julius living these days?"

"He has quite a few properties. Even I'm not sure which one he's staying at."

Nadine had watched Yvonne grow up. The moment she asked, the older woman knew exactly what she was plotting.

Her grandson was already married, and she wasn't about to let anyone drive a wedge between him and his wife.

Yvonne had been quite lovable as a child, but as she grew older, she became increasingly snobbish and status-obsessed.

Ever since she heard Julius's legs were supposedly incurable, she hadn't visited once—and that was before she had even gone abroad.

Now that news of his recovery had spread, she was clearly trying to latch back onto him.

Nadine might be old, but she wasn't blind. She knew exactly what game this girl was playing.

There was no way she was telling her where Julius lived.

"But Nadine, doesn't he come back to visit you since he moved out?" Yvonne pressed, trying to bait the information.

"He does, but it's hard to say when. He runs the entire group, and his schedule is packed. He hardly has any free time."

"Nadine, I have to ask... when I went to the office to see him, I noticed a very pretty girl who seemed awfully close to him. Is she a relative of your family?"

A very pretty girl?

That had to be Stella. Her granddaughter-in-law was undeniably gorgeous.

And it was perfectly normal for Stella to visit her own husband.

"When the timing is right, these things just happen. They've already signed the papers. We haven't hosted the reception yet, but you'll certainly get an invitation when we do."

"Nadine, I'm supposed to be Julius's bride! How could you let him marry someone else?" Yvonne cried out anxiously.

"What kind of nonsense is that? Since when were you ever his bride? He never once promised to marry you, and there was never an engagement. Don't go around saying things like that—you'll give my granddaughter-in-law the wrong idea."

Yvonne's voice grew shrill. "Nadine, wasn't this an unspoken agreement between our families? We grew up together, our families are equals, and we're a perfect match. Don't you want us to be together?"

She had dreamed of marrying Julius since she was a little girl.

"I want him to be with whoever he loves. Yvonne, you'll eventually find someone you truly love, too. It's time to stop thinking about Julius. He's a married man."

Yvonne stood up abruptly. "No! Nadine, marriages can end in divorce. Julius has to be mine. I'm going to marry him."
