Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 173

Hearing this, a vein throbbed violently at Yvette's temple.

Her mother had just undergone a major surgery and was still incredibly weak. If she got overly agitated, the consequences would be unthinkable.

She never expected those rabid netizens to target an innocent patient.

Her heart sank straight to rock bottom.

As long as she remained in Kingsbrook, she would never escape Jabez's overbearing influence—unless she left for good.

"Aunt Joanne, ignore them. Just have the security guards come up and clear them out."

"Got it."

After hanging up, Yvette dialed Jabez Shelby's number.

He answered almost instantly, as if he had known all along that she would eventually cave.

"Jabez, we need to meet."

"Alright."

Yvette couldn't wait another second. She drove straight to the Shelby Group tower.

Corbin was waiting for her downstairs, and the two headed straight up to the top floor.

Diana, the secretary, looked shocked when she saw Yvette.

Yvette had resigned from the Shelby Group, so why was she still allowed straight into the CEO's office?

Her woman's intuition told her that the relationship between Yvette and Jabez was anything but simple.

Yvette pushed open the office door and walked right in.

The man was wearing a luxuriously tailored shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his lean, muscular forearms.

He kept his eyes on the document in front of him, not even bothering to look up at the sound of the door. "Figured it out?"

Yvette pressed her lips tightly together and said nothing.

The quiet office was filled only with the scratching sound of his fountain pen against the paper.
