Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 313

Having figured it out, Nadine spoke calmly. "Issues between young people should be resolved by young people. As elders, we shouldn't interfere too much.

If we do, the younger generation will only resent us. If it's just a small misunderstanding between Yvonne and Julius, then Yvonne should be the one to clear the air with him."

Nadine effortlessly deflected the request.

Byron felt a bitter taste in his mouth. When did this old woman become so difficult to handle?

In the past, whatever he asked of her, she would agree to.

He shot a glance at his wife, signaling her to step in.

Catching his eye, Mrs. Jeter smiled and said, "Mrs. Blackwood, you watched Yvonne grow up. You know her personality. She can be a bit temperamental, and that's what upset Julius. She never gives us a moment's peace. Yvonne, apologize to Mrs. Blackwood right now!"

Before Yvonne could speak, Nadine cut her off. "Yvonne didn't offend me, so there's no need for an apology."

Yvonne clung to Nadine's arm and whined, "Please just talk to Julius for me. I really didn't mean it.

Or maybe you could call him and ask him to come back, or set up a time for us to meet outside? I want to apologize to him in person. Please, I'm begging you."

Nadine chuckled softly. "The three of you keep saying it was a small misunderstanding. I just want to know, what exactly was this misunderstanding?"

They kept brushing over it without giving any details. If her grandson wasn't married, she might have easily agreed to help them.

But things were different now. Yvonne wanted her grandson and his wife to get a divorce. There was no way she was going to act as their peacekeeper.

Why would the daughter of a family friend be more important than her own grandson? She wasn't about to take their one-sided story at face value.

"Alright, thank you so much. We'll head back now and come visit you again when we have time."

Since Nadine was practically showing them the door, Byron didn't have the audacity to stay. He led his wife and daughter out of the Manor.

In the car.

Yvonne complained angrily, "Dad, Mom, do you think that old hag already knew we drugged Julius? Is that why she wouldn't budge?"

Mrs. Jeter agreed. "She was never this cold to us before. It seems we haven't been visiting enough. We need to make a habit of going to the Manor more often."
