Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 117

Willow's plan worked flawlessly. Everyone now viewed her as confident, graceful, and incredibly generous.

She even actively encouraged her boyfriend to grant Ms. Yeats's request.

Yvette couldn't be bothered to entertain Willow's theatrics.

"No," Jabez said, his lips parting slightly to deliver the single word.

Yvette froze in place. The gazes of the crowd fell heavily upon her, feeling like a vicious slap across the face.

Their eyes were filled with disdain, contempt, and mockery.

It was as if she were some heinous sinner deliberately trying to seduce him.

Matthew's sharp gaze swept over the onlookers, causing anyone he locked eyes with to quickly lower their heads or avert their gaze.

The crowd scattered.

"Let's go. We should get inside."

Yvette stared at the departing Maybach, her eyes burning. She blinked away the sting, turned around, and followed Matthew inside.

Inside the Solstice Auctions conference room.

Every seat had a name card. Yvette was assigned the first seat on the left, with Matthew sitting right beside her.

Willow was seated directly across from her. Spotting Yvette, she furrowed her delicate brows and asked, "What's wrong? Did Jabez refuse to talk to you?"

She sounded as if she were genuinely concerned, cementing her gentle and kind image in the eyes of everyone present.

After all, not many women could be so understanding when someone else tried to hit on their boyfriend.

Instead of getting angry, she was actually expressing concern for Yvette.

It only elevated her status in the room further.

Yvette met her gaze and caught the fleeting glint of triumph hiding in her eyes.

"That is none of your business," Yvette replied coldly.

The room bristled, many feeling Yvette was being overly aggressive.

However, it had nothing to do with them, so they kept their mouths shut.
